beautiful carved wood . . .

In case any of you have not seen it, go to the
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking channel and look at the post from Mike
Hide titled "finished bench." It is a series of pictures of the carved legs
on a table that he made. Very good quality and carved workmanship.

why is there not a "alt.binaries.pictures.carving"?
or sculpture, whittling, I'd really like to see peoples stuff who carve.
I'm just getting started and it would be inspiring. I found abpf and abpww
so and still do check them regularly.

If you really think it'd help to have a.b.p.c then make one!

I was hanging out on the KoRn newgroup (the "old fart" here) and a
kid started alt.music.deftones and set it up moderated. I tried
like hell to talk him out of having it moderated but he hated spam
and off topic talk sooo much.... :/ I was the first to post to the
new newsgroup as a test and it died a few weeks later... just
because it was moderated and there was a delay in the posts showing
up. :/

Anyway if the dumb kid could do it you could too.

I think that it is a wonderful idea! Carving is something to be seen and
shown through examples. I have looked at every carving book that I can find
for examples that are beyond beginner and can't really find hardly anything
that is what I am looking for. I find my examples from old furniture and
such--we need a newsgroup with pictures. That is the style in which I want
to learn and I know that I am not alone here. If pictures are posted . . .
all styles could be represented for those who carve.

my two cents plus a nickel

P.S. How do you open a newsgroup and run it?

That sounds cool, Patrick! But, you charge way too much. :/

There's newsgroup/s dedicated to that.
And... you don't "run" them unless it's moderated!

If it's moderated all the posts have to go through the moderator,
no matter how much you hate spam and off topic stuff don't do it
that way, ok?

You'll find out alt. groups have "fewer hurdles to jump" than
required for rec. groups.

Then some of those here might have to request "your new group" to
be added to their ISP's list.

Hmmmm... there might be an a.b.p.c already, it just hasn't been
widely distributed?

All I "know" about it I picked up from regular NGs like this one
where there was discussion about making new NGs. So I don't really
know anything for sure. :/

That is a great idea. I am new to wood carving/working and would join a
group like that if offered.

There is a bunch of carving groups over at Yahoo Groups.
