Yes, It’s true, I made t-shirts and Christmas cards with the CarveWright! I used an old process called block printing. It’s been around forever, and many of you have probably even done it before. Traditionally, one would trace an image onto a block of some sort, carve away (by hand) the negative space to create…

I’ve been busy getting ready for the CarveWright Conference coming up June 26th-28th. There is so much to show off this year that I’ve had a hard time juggling so many projects at once. I am making good progress and have some things I’d like to show off. The new rotary jig has been getting…
It is that time of year again in Scouts and other groups…time to build your Pinewood Derby cars. The goal is to transform this… into a masterpiece of art and speed! Each year I make three cars (one each for my son and daughter and one for me). Finding the right balance in the time we…
