Aram Loosman

I am looking for like-minded people in the fediverse for sharing thoghts, projects and information about woodworking, woodcarving and especially spoon carving. How can I find these people?
Are there any existing groups or servers with these topics?
Retoots / Boosts are appreciated!

@aramloosman I started watching Jögge Sundqvist's knife grip videos a couple weeks ago and set my first spoon to dry last week. I've made and shared pictures of a couple craft tools here and am having a great time with learning about and finding ways to practice crafting.

Very happy to see you sharing your work.

@aramloosman I'm an aspiring woodworker/carver, but time is a problem so I mostly stick to garden carpentry at the moment.

@aramloosman Woodworker / occasional spooncarver here. Two clean ones (one yellow from turmeric), two dirty ones in transit from the kitchen.

That large one of yours is very pretty! Haven't succeeded in making one with that shape.

@aramloosman I have tools but they're dull and I've gotta figure out how to sharpen them before actually carving.

@maxc is creating nice wood working projects and I believe @oppen is into spoon carving specifically. :)

Very pretty spoons! 😀👍My husband is a woodcarver and artist with passion. But unfortunately he gave up on social media (namely Twitter) a while ago and I couldn't (yet) convince him to join in here. Nonetheless if he does, I'll make sure to point into your direction. 😊 And if you do find a server for ppl who love working with wood, please let me know! 🥺

No problem, thanks for the heads up.
It has been quite a while since I wrote this post, but I keep it pinned to find more people. I follow several woodworking hashtags and have a solid list of accounts I follow which are great woodworkers.
It's a great thing to get inspired.

Click your hashtag for spoon carving.

There's a shocking number of spoon carvers around these parts.

@aramloosman It has been a bit, but I like carving too. I don't do spoons as much as I do Swedish butter knives.

https://blog.lostartpress.com/2018/08/16/slojd-butter-knife/ I liked Slojd in Wood by Jogge Sunqvist. I got started by Rex Kruger's book.

Might be hit or miss, I didn't really look, but I can check the Rex Kruger Patreon tonight and see if people shared their mastodon accounts. Some might still be doing the hand carving stuff.

@aramloosman it was fun. I made them as Christmas gifts for my in-laws two years ago. There are videos by Jorgge Sunqvist on techniques making them. I need to get back to that.

Currently I'm using purple heart wood, to make hearts for people on my wife Heart walk team. All hand carved, but the wood is really hard and difficult to work with.

Some of the heart stuff is on media page. My butter knives are over on twitter.

#woodworking is something that appeals a lot to me as an software dev. So I'm curious whether the #woodworking bubble of the fediverse is mainly made up of IT/SW dev people or if it has a similar appeal to other professions. #carpentry #WasMitHolz #IrgendwasMitHolz #woodwork #HolzBearbeitung #HolzWerken #holzliebe #heimwerken #HolzArbeit #moebelbau #askfedi #followerpower #poll #polls [ ] I'm into woodworking - I work in IT/SW dev [ ] I'm into woodworking - I DON'T work in IT/SW dev [ ] I'm NOT into woodworking - I work in IT/SW dev [ ] I'm NOT into woodworking - I DON'T work in IT/SW
