Sand-O-Flex Wheel & Inserts: http://www.meritindustries.com/mstools.htm#slr I only use the 320 grit inserts.
Brass Plates: http://signsbygwynn.com/brass_plates.htm I use size A-30 as it’s large enough to be seen but small enough to not dominate the carving. They have a 3-4 day turnaround and I doubt if you’ll find a better or cheaper product.

Yipee!! All done with this one and time to ride on down the trail to see what’s around the next bend. Personally, I think this set of videos was a lot better than the one on Shifty. I haven’t decided on the next project but have received lots of suggestions. I want to keep the first videos fairly simple and easily accomplished by a beginning carver so things might be a little boring for you advanced whittlers but stick around…..things are sure to pick up.

Anyway, I hope this has been worthwhile for you and that in some way it helped add a little more enjoyment into your carving. As always your comments are appreciated especially when suggesting ways for me to improve any future projects.
Lynn, thanks for the ride I have really enjoyed learning more. And I like your new photo.

I thank you for the great job you did on the boots and the time you took to explain every detail. I now have a new appreciation for cowboy boots. Thanks again.fred

ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial Lynn. And although I may not carve a pair of stand alone boots such as these, I do put them on my caricatures and you've shown me how to do 'em right.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll make your videos (Boots & Shifty) available soon on DVD.....they'd make great Christmas Gifts our beter halfs could buy for us.
Look forward to the next project.
Lynn,
ReplyDeleteAnother great series of how-to videos on your techniques and tips. I agree that you need to put them on DVDs for sale. Great reference material. My suggestion is maybe you could do a full height native american in a blanket. Thanks again for sharing so much.
I agree, making these how-to videos a DVD is a great idea. I would purchase one if made available.
