CARVER'S CORNER

The Splinter Carvers met on Saturday morning, August 1. There were eight carvers in attendance including two new members of the club, Blue Pau and Win Phipps. Jim has added some bench space so there was room for all to work. Some more progress was made on the soaring eagle and others worked on their own projects. It is great to see so many carvers working on so many different kinds of carving projects. We discussd carving a carousel horse as our next club project and meeting twice a month, on the first and third Saturdays, to generate more interest and improve our productivity.If the carvers agree, a formal announcement will be made.

We meet in Jim Jollifee’s shop at 201 Jollifee LN, Tullahoma. We regulary meet on the first Saturady of each month

Shop Tip

Right-size sandpaper with this “cutting” board

Tearing sandpaper sheets to size is a tedious task made easier with this simple jig. First, cut some scrap hardwood to the length of a hacksaw blade. Rip three pieces to the widths shown below and plane them to slightly different thicknesses to create the “steps,” as  shown. Make a shallow rabbet for the blade in the 2  3⁄4″-wide piece and then edge-glue the pieces together. Epoxy the blade in the rabbet and you’re ready to make piles of properly sized sheets in no time. By butting the edge of the abrasive against the correct step,you can tear-off half-, third-, and quarter-sheets for your power sanders or for hand-sanding blocks.
