Spoons

I just finished teaching a two day class at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts, making spoon carving knives and then carving spoons. We used the metals building, grinders and forges to shape and heat treat the knives, and then used the machine room in the woodshop to add handles. We then spent the afternoon and next day shaping the handles and carving spoons. It was a fun class, and based on an article I'd written for Woodcarving Illustrated.

My next class at ESSA, June 25-June 29, will be to make small cabinets. https://reg131.imperisoft.com/essa-art/ProgramDetail/3639313038/Registration.aspx One space is open to an additional student in this 5 day class.

In the meantime the government has noticed that Americans need to be making more of our own stuff, and is attempting to control matters by deportations and tariffs. When you are busy making things, however, you will have little time to waste shopping for things that will not last.

Make, fix and create...
