SAKWC: Safety, Cleanliness and Supplies
on: November 10, 2018, 05:34:12 AM
Safety, Cleanliness and Supplies:
This is not a required item, but highly recommended. With the differing 'cuts' of whittling and the funny angles that you need to get into, it is a good possibility that you will be thankful that you are wearing these. Here is a link to Amazon for the NoCry Cut Resistant Protective Work Glove with Rubber Grip Dots. You also want to make sure that you are using the sharpest blade(s) possible. The easier it cuts, the less likely you are to 'force it' or apply to much pressure and that increases your chance of not having a cut 'get away' from you and injuring yourself.



Again optional, but not wanting to upset the woman of the house I put together this little hook setup, so that I could use a towel as an apron. If you are married or with someone then I’m sure you have heard the old saying about ‘A happy wife is a happy life.” that saying can also be reversed to read  as ‘A miserable wife is a miserable life.”..




Underneath me, but still covering the seat area of my chair, is a sheet that covers that drapes down and under my feet covering the immediate area. That way there isn’t a loose flier piece that gets onto HER carpet.

Once I had the basic safety and cleanliness issues taken care of I moved on the getting some supplies to set up my basic whittling kit. That started with getting a new Hiker SAK, Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Whittling Book, sandpaper, Linseed Oil and a clear coat spray to apply once my projects were finished.



The sandpaper came in a 6pk, which was 2 sheets of each grit of 80, 150 and 220. This sheet were 9”x11”. I cut them into thirds lengthwise (3 strips of 3” ea. per sheet). And then further cut each strip in half giving me a total of 12x each grit of sandpaper.




I have taken care of the small stuff, so now I just need to start a project. As can be seen in the photos, I have already started on my first project but that will be another post.

Is it better to carry a 'paddle' or to be "up a creek" without one?

Grandpa Patch has the gloves to save his hands, and he NEEDS that corkscrew so the nagging don't bother him.  :pok:  :D  :whistle:  :climber:
