Wood Carving Resources and References

• North Bay Forge, www.northbayforge.com
  In my 25 years of professional carving, I've made thousands of stop cuts with knives from North Bay Forge. Not once has the tip ever broken or the blade come loose from the handle. I don't have to sharpen that often as the blades stay extremely sharp.
  
  
• The book on carving that I recommend is "Manual of Traditional Wood Carving" edited by Paul N. Hasluck. It was first published in 1977 and is a republication of the classic text Cassell's Wood Carving, originally published in 1911.

  • This great video series shows the assembly of the new pipe organ for St. Philip Presbyterian Church in Houston TX
    in January 2010 as filmed and narrated by Chuck Johnson. Chuck discusses many of the intricacies and mechanics of
    the organ as he films making this the best video series on pipe organs from the inside that there is.
    For the complete series of 29, see Corgipower85's YouTube channel at
    http://www.youtube.com/user/Corgipower85
    
    Day 0 begins with the arrival of the truck on site and members of the congregation helping to carry pieces into
    the church. See the progress made day by day. By Day 14 the organ has four ranks of pipes (stops) installed, enough
    for the congregation to be lead in worship. By Day 28 half of the stops are tuned and ready. The rest will be tuned in February.
