Sharpening Simplified

Your “Sharpening Simplified” – DVD is outstanding! I began carving 10 months ago and have been struggling to learn how to sharpen my various carving tools. This DVD has taught me more in 110 minutes than any book I have read on the subject. Your DVD truly provides “a simple proven method to get your tools properly contoured and razor sharp.” Thank you for the excellent video.
Carol Maki – Sebastian FL

You must be the guru of tool sharpening! Very easy to follow – not big $$$ to tie up in equipment.
Bobby D

Thank you for your Sharpening DVD. I must complement you on your thorough presentation method and easy to understand style, you certainly have a knack for making information understandable.
Joe Marshall

Prior to getting your DVD on sharpening, I had taken 2 sharpening classes, neither of which explained this as clearly as you did in the DVD. Thanks again!
Thomas Rangel

Your video is simply great!! You were so organized in your presentation. You explained each step so clearly, and it was easy for me to understand.
Dawn Stonehouse

Thank you for the wonderful sharpening class. It has improved my tools cutting ability tremendously. As a result of having sharp tools, my control and confidence have risen dramatically. Thanks again.
John Eikstadt

I want to let you know how much I have enjoyed your “Sharpening Simplified” DVD. It is the only one that I have come across that showed a quick, effective and efficient way to sharpen carving tools. It has really helped me. Thanks a lot!!!
Fred Williams

Congratulations to Your DVD! It’s clear, simple and easy to follow. You also are not trying to sell any expensive equipment.

Beginning Woodcarving

This was the most exceptional lesson on Beginning Woodcarving. I learned more in the first hour of this three hour program than I had in the first two classes at our local community college. In fact, after viewing the DVD I called the instructor and advised him that I would no longer be attending class. Frankly, compared to the information on your program, attending any further classes at the community college was a waste of my time. I was beginning to feel somewhat hopeless until I viewed the DVD. I recommend it to anyone who wants to attempt woodcarving as a beginner.

Hi, the other day I was given a copy of your “Beginning Woodcarving”. I have obtained more information from that than I have so far received from a Beginners Course I am currently doing. Very interesting too!
Mark Robert

This was a great DVD! I really learned a lot and feel comfortable in starting down the path of woodcarving.
Deanna Beauchamp

Awesome video and I like the fact that I can contact you if need be. Nice way of doing business!
Daniel Orlikowski

What a fabulous DVD. I love every minute of it. I have been attending a carving club for about 4 months and reading about carving for years. Your DVD answered so many questions I was unable to answer. I can’t wait to bring my bird and flower to the next meeting and put them on the show and tell table. Thank you so much for sharing all of your carving wisdom.
Connie Schlosser

Received your DVD yesterday. Have already watched some of it. It is more than I expected. Your attention to detail has answered so many questions I have had. Thanks for your conscientious effort to impart your experience and knowledge through your video. I know I will be viewing it over and over until I fully understand and practice your lessons with the results, hopefully, that they become second nature to me. I have taken a one-week class in Old Town, Texas. It was great, but I have already learned more from your DVD than I did at the class. Thanks again. I’m so glad I found your website.

Extremely helpful, fabulous DVD. Great instructions and detailed presentation. Thanks again.

The Complete Book of Woodcarving

I received your book yesterday, it is wonderful. Every carver should have one. What a help it would be to a new carver getting started. It is so inclusive that it is great even for us “old Carvers”. I look forward to many happy hours with it.
Mary Lou – Cedar Falls, Iowa

Over the years I have acquired many books relating to woodcarving. This book of yours is one of the best.
Gary – Waynesville, Ohio

I want to thank you so much for the very high quality book that you have published. It is quality from front to back cover, and will be a great resource along with your DVD’s, which I use frequently. Look forward to your second book.
Elmer – Monona, Iowa

After looking through your book I’m impressed with many things about it. As a long time educator, the things that really stick out are the very clear illustrations and the straight forward way you’ve written the text. Thanks for the inspiration; I’m looking forward to working on the projects in your book.
John Eugster - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is a fantastic book and the price is very reasonable.
Kay – Versailles, Ohio

I want to congratulate you on an excellent book with great information! I also want to compliment you on the book’s high quality and fantastic production values. You should be proud and just reiterates to me the high standard you set. I had started your stylized cat from looking at your videos and pictures on your website, but couldn’t really find any frontal views. So you can imagine I was very pleased to see it in the book! Guess I had better get back to work on it! Thanks again for a great publication.
Marty – Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Thank you for taking the time and effort to write such a good book on woodcarving!
Roger – Oelwein, Iowa

Yesterday I received your “The Complete Book of Woodcarving”. What an interesting, attractive and instructive “Bible” for woodcarvers. Since 1968 I have collected 48 woodcarving books and years of volumes of Chip Chats magazines, but none come close to the completeness, and attractiveness of your book. Congratulations.

Kids Crafts - Woodcarving

This is not a book dumbed down, but rather built from the ground up for young people. There is, of course, the expectation that the book will be used under adult supervision, at least with preteen and younger children. At 128 pages, this book is as thick as your average carving book, but at 8”x 8” is a size better suited to young hands. I found the book to be well written and well designed. If you have a child or grandchild whom you’d like to interest in woodcarving, then this book may be a perfect Christmas or birthday present. If you have no young children or grands, but would like to help spread the art and craft, consider becoming a BSA woodcarving Merit Badge councilor; this publication would be an excellent adjunct to the merit badge handbook.
