Inspiration from "The Sword and The Stone"

I had the idea of making another sword. Through the brainstorming process my idea "kinda shifted." I randomly though about "the sword and the stone." It also came to me related to the wood size I had available. This is my second attempt at making the idea. Because the first one broke on me. I was able to glue it back together. However, when I attempted again. Guess what, it broke again. So that project turned into something completely different. Story for a later date.

I took a closer look at burrs under a micrscope

 Had some fun putting the burrs under my microscope and looking at the fine details. Its interesting to see how the burrs are made differently. It shows there are similar but differences between burrs. This first picture shows that tops might be similar however, the one on the right has a different angle. The next two shows that sometimes the tops are flat and will not cut. And sometimes they have the ability to cut. Tip: the top is for smoothing the surface. Its not for primary cutting. The edge cuts better. Diamond bits are good for fine details. They come in different grits. I wish I knew that sooner. More videos and blogs coming soon. They will be tips / tricks, and excision examples. youtube video

            Over the past few weeks as you probably could tell I haven’t carved anything new since completing the clock and redoing the other clock. Yes, I still have been creating from painting. Which I can say has been exciting in its own way. It was fun to have a different change of pace and use a different tool. Yes, my knowledge is still limited for how paint works and especially in the way of color theory and how to blend different colors. I am pleased with the result of what I was able to paint. Despite the limited knowledge I have “I didn’t let it stop me.” I do believe this is the bigger lesson which carries the greater value. I do also know that changing how your creativity and inspiration comes helps the overall adventure.             Limiting yourself to “I only can work with.” Will change how you look at the work you do. It can and will change the genuine passion which drives your cr...
