Hi, What do you do when you make a mistake ❓❓❓

Published: Sat, 02/13/21

Hello, !

Before I answer this question for you,

"What do you do when you make a mistake?"

I'd like to share with you another utilitarian item that I've carved a lot of over the years - CLOCKS!

Considering how many times you look at a clock each day, why not make it a thing of beauty!

This mantle clock has always been one of my favorites.

I've given away several desk clocks over the years.

And wall clocks...a LOT. I can think of several I wish I had pictures of. One had swans flying across the face. I'll have to carve another one of those!

And one of my all-time favorites, given to my dad at the end of the Honor Flight we went on 3 years ago in honor of his service in the Marines. This is carved from EZboard.

So, , what's the next clock you''ll be chip carving?

Drop me an email and let me know!

"What do you do when you make a mistake?"

There are two things you can do.

1. Fix it!

If you can, use a small dab of white glue and repair the mistake. I like to use white glue rather than super glue because you can move the piece around until it is perfect without worrying about it drying too quickly.

2. Change the pattern!

In this month's 5x5 box project, I ran into trouble and had a lot of chip out when relieving the background. It would have been way too much work to repair so I changed the pattern.

In the video 5x5 Box, Texture and Relief, Part 2, I show you the problem and how I changed the pattern to create a carving I was pleased with. And I didn't need to edit out any cursing!!

This month's box pattern and 2-part video series are available to you for FREE.

Here's how the 5x5 box turned out after I changed the pattern.

Next week, can you guess another item I've carved a lot of?

Until then...
