OK, today’s the day I can tell you…
If you are among those who wondered “what’s Follansbee doing working with Lie-Nielsen?” – here’s your answer. In May we shot a DVD on carving. Conor Smith sent me an email today with the link to the preview on their YouTube site.
If you watch the preview then you have seen as much as I have seen. But I had a great time shooting it with them in May, and have confidence that the finished product will be a good one.
The premise is that the disc will show you how I carve several different patterns, using some basic techniques that build one upon another…it should be fun. We start the carving with the V-tool and mallet, then add some gouges, some background removal, etc. Typical 17th-century stuff…
You will see the ordering details here when we know what they are..it says early Fall.
here’s the snippet Conor sent. Thanks to Conor, Thomas Lie-Nielsen and the whole crew up there in Maine that helped make it happen.

Peter,
I love the preview and I cannot wait to get the video to help expand on the techniques I’ve picked up watching your carving demo on The Woodwright’s Shop (I’ve almost worn that link in my bookmarks out)
Thanks
