The ideal would be to have the real thing to measure and study in detail, but all of my work is done from photographs. I download as many as I can find from the web and then make working drawings from those. As a result, the finished piece isn’t as precise as I would like, but close enough for display purposes. Thanks.

That is completely amazing, I work for a family owned (57 Years) sewing store in CT and have been repairing machines for the last ten years. Your work is amazing and unbelievably accurate. Your work would be a wonderful display in our store if you were ever interested.

Wow! In that case, your response is especially appreciated. I love the antique Singers. As a little kid (1946-1947) I used to be fascinated with my grandmother’s treadle machine. I’ve often considered doing one — treadle, cabinetry and all. Thanks!

If you intend to …
If you intend to work on people and animals, I recommend doing some modeling in clay or plasticine. That way you’ll begin to understand three dimensional shapes. Clay is very forgiving (unlike wood) and you can redo endlessly. When you have a project clear in your mind, break out the chisels. Also, carving simple, abstract shapes in basswood will teach you about its carving properties. You may even get some pieces you’d like to keep. Good luck!

Your work is amazing!

I just got an opinel No.7 knife and I’m looking for some basswood. What sort of projects do you suggest I work on before I can move on to getting more precise tools and begin working on carving people and animals?

As it happens, I have worked in a variety of materials, including one similar to the one you mention — also fiberglass which is ideal for certain projects. I must admit, however, that my favorite is basswood — the feel, color and especially the sound of it being carved. Thanks for the suggestion, however!

Ever thought of using chemi-wood instead of basswood? its a Model makers material with properties like hardened car body filler. much better machining properties than hardwood as you dont have a grain to contend with. i’d reccomend giving this a go, especially as you like to paint your models

Excellent work – you have truly inspired me to try some more complex carving and wood working myself (I know what you mean that no one could afford to pay you for the amount of time you put into it!)
