carving article by Harold Hahn

[Dave Stevens (Lumberyard)]

When i unpacked Harold's library i found many of these large envelopes



so lets take a look at what is inside this one




first thing i found were images of the Half Moon and Essex diorama and some drawings



Some hand written articles in the early stage of writing.



and a drawing which i assume went with the article

Great info thanks for sharing.

Edit: I like the idea to use a saw blade to make you carving tools. I'm seeing video's where this was done. Mostly to make knives. But also interesting for us to find the right steel. You need the saw blades that are a bit rusty of corroded. This is probably HSS steel and therefore perfect to make cutting tools. you just need to harden the steel when you shaped the chisel you need from the blade. How this is done, just go to YouTube, there are a lot of examples on how to do that. But you need the possibility and place to do that. In the house could be a problem, and you need tools to cut and shape the steel. But I like the article of Hahn.
