Source of Geometric Drawing Tut's or books
Hi,
Just getting into chip carving, I'm atracted by the geometric layouts (not being very artistic to say the least) Can anyone point me to tutorials or books regarding the making of patterns i.e compass/paper, CAD etc I'm not after projects/plans and I have bought a couple of books, but good as they are for learning to carve, I want to concentrate on the pattern making methods e.g rosettes, borders, lattice, dihedrons etc even if it containsd the dreaded maths. Any pointers would be appreciated. |

Any pointers would be appreciated. What you're trying to describe sounds like "(chip carving" - Try Googling "chip carving" and see if it's what you're looking for.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you for your pointers I've taken up both of them in that Chipchats sems very useful over the longer term, and I've ordered Wayne Bartons book from the amazon market place. One place I did find from googling around was http://www.carvingpatterns.com/pattern-work.htm Its just the thing I'm looking for with the use of pos and neg spaces showing how many variations you can get from one simple layout. From my point of view its just what I'm after as I can draw them very easily and precisely in my CAD package. Thanks again for the pointers, I've already started on my own patterns (based on snowflakes) for a practice carved and line inlay box. |
