Chip Carving Class - Quilt Squares #10: Lesson 5: Chip Carving Square #1

Beautiful and fairly simple pattern. The video showing how to carve the pattern is outstanding as well. Good job, Marty

-- Cubie

Thanks, Cubie.
We’ll start easy and take it step-by-step. Or should I say, chip-by-chip!

thanks dude. Great vid. Do you have the specs on the new knife and will it have a stabbing companion?

You are very welcome, Dave. The My Chip Carving Knives will consist of three knives – Standard Cutting (shown in this video), Modified Knife (for curves, lettering, detail), and Stab Knife. Both cutting and modified have the registry mark for your thumb to fit in. All knives have a full length blade that runs the entire length of the knife. This is a HUGE improvement to knives currently available. Thin steel on cutting knives, all pre-sharpened, and guaranteed. A basswood storage box that can be custom carved will also be available. Sweet!

I have been experiencing problems with my internet connection, along with Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome. Right now I only see one pattern here, instead of 4. I am on Google Chrome right now. I will go here through Explorer, and see what happens

Hey Roger,
I’ve only posted one pattern with this lesson, not four. Coming up I will be posting more patterns for everyone to try. Keep making chips!

Ok, Marty. Thnx…. I am on IE now, and I see it’s only showing one here also…. my misunderstanding. sorry

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but when it comes to the small back-to-back chips I have been using the modified knife. It has allowed me a little more control and I don’t go to deep with it like I do the normal knife.

Great Marty. I love watching you carve those nice clean cuts.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Marty,
I’ve been using your modified knife also. Easier to do curves, etc. Also less spliting ahead of the knife on with-grain cuts. I really like it.

Very nice video!!!

the correct size is ?

-- Merrill, Cody, Wyoming

Merrill – the correct size is ?

I’ll take a stab at your question not knowing exactly what size you are wondering about.
The two block sizes we are working with is 3-3/4×3-3/4 and 5-3/4×5-3/4.
The pattern in this lesson is sized to fit the 3-3/4 square block.
