Pyrography, with Mandy Staples

Instead of our usual carving night, we were treated to a quick talk and then a hands on demonstration to pyrography with Mandy Staples. It was a great night; with a lot of people interested in learning more. Mandy was very enthusiastic and a great teacher.

Please add comments below; on what you thought of the night.

Uk workshop website

I have been looking at possibly buying a band saw recently! A site, I have been finding really useful is the UK workshop website. It has lots of reviews, forums and a section to buy and sell tools.

Well worth a look.

Axminster demo day

Carving with Feniton Woodcarving Club

Axminster welcomes Feniton Woodcarving Club to the store to showcase their skills and offer advice on carving tools and techniques. If you're new to carving or need some inspiration this is a demonstration not to be missed.

Price comparison.

I just bought a flexcut tool roll from tyzacktools - http://www.tyzacktools.com/products/335-flexcut-19-piece-pocket-tool-roll-476213.aspx. The price was £15.81 which included £2.00 shipping. I found them pleasant to deal with and a lot cheaper than the bigger shops. An example, for the same product in another shop would cost me £20.29, the product is a great deal more expensive and purchases under £50 cost £5 in postage!

So my conclusion, if you need extra flexcut items tyzack are worth trying.
