My nephews ( 12 and 9) both used ZP carving kits this year. They both found them much better and easier to use than the other saws they have.
snow2alike, it was your suggestion, in part, that inspired the inclusion of the foam grips that are part of the current Pro Tool set. What do you think of that addition?snow2alike wrote:But the trick I tell all my new carving clients is to wrap a rubber band around the part of the saw they hold onto! It adds cush, helps with grip and you don't slip up and down while carving. This really helps alot with not getting the dreadded gnarly carving callus,
Mine looks horrible! I tell myself each year I will clean it after each use, and every year I let it sit there till I'm done with carving for the season.zombombie wrote:You know, I feel terrible about my carving tool! It's still the best piece of kit for carving, and it's in no way damaged, but I have let it get a little discoloured due to pumpkin juice
I think it's a good weight and size as it is however I am always willing to try something new, especially a lovely brightly coloured oneZombie Pumpkins! wrote:Thanks for the feedback. I don't often hear people say they wish it was heavier, but I can see what you're saying. I'm considering playing with other materials for the handle again (we did acrylic at once time).
