Today I received something from #Kiyv #Ukraine, which I think is a really awesome invention. It's a #carving apron. I can even sit on the sofa and carve without making a mess. Bought on Etsy at PhurbaBladeUA: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1831573035/best-gift-for-woodcarver-woodworking
@osz love it! And look at all that hand protection so you don’t end up in A&E all the time! (Ahem)
@osz yes…. I know about the wood stains. I was trying to calm my mind with a spoon carving when the news of the Trump election came through and I had the muppet cut of an idiot to show to the doctors at the local hoppy. I now have a nice big spoon knife shape in my hand. Hey ho. More protection - and concentration needed.
Like the apron shown here too
@JimmyB
Oh no, I hope it's not too bad. If it's any consolation, I smashed a Twca Cam into the inside of my thigh out of sheer stupidity. I got it new and really wanted to try it out. And I know you're supposed to clamp the piece of wood somewhere, but it shouldn't be between your legs.
@osz ah - Im fine. Still a bit shy of my chisels tho . Feel a bit better about my own misadventure in the presence of someone who clamped a bit of wood between his thighs
