what tools are you using to carve with? I have the flexcut line up..but cant use any of them anymore due to R.A in my hands.. I can last about 30 mins.. but I pay for it later..

i lost everything i owned a few years back. driving near silver dollar city in the ozarks as a kid we stopped at a house with a bunch of carvings and woodwork in general. the old boy that owned the joint must have seen i was intrigued and gave me a bunch of knives and chisel's, some were homemade. ohh well, it was worth it to get away from her.

Nice love wood carvings... Can we collab on something possibly?
not able to do anything with carvings anymore.. Arthritis kills my hands if I try to carve for more then about 20 mins..

I started out making mini swords and knives would take a scalpel blade and remove it and then make small wooden knife handles.. tonfa's nunchucks etc.. would have been perfect for the stuff you do..

Oh man sorry to hear! I couldn't imagine hand carving, just sculpting and sanding small things is starting to catch up with my hands.... How many years you carve for?
