A native Texan, Jack began whittling as a young boy making projects out of wood that he could play with. With over 40 years of whittling experience he has written a book that has easy to follow instructions and 14 different projects for the beginner. This 144 page soft cover book will lay open while you learn and has over 350 illustrations to guide the novice whittler step by step through these projects. He also explains how to use and maintain the tools.

How to Whittle the Whimsies of Yesterday is tinged with Jack's life experiences and makes learning this lost art very enjoyable.

Scroll Saw File

The scroll saw file is very handy for cleaning the inside of the wooden chain links as shown here. It can be used with or without a handle.

Spiral Scroll Saw Blade

For the very small chain links, I cut a spiral scroll saw blade in half, then epoxy the two pieces in a wooden handle with the teeth pointing in opposite directions. This makes a tiny rasp used the same way as the file. The chain shown here is whittled from a 3/8 inch square piece of basswood. Note how small the chain is compared to the dime (USA ten cent piece).

Whittlers at the shows I go to say this is the most detailed book they've read on how to whittle the Balls in Cages, the Wooden Chain, and the Slider.


Small Hand Drill & Assorted Bits
S.H.D

The bits are stored inside the handle. This is the drill I use to drill the X holes in chain link separation cuts.

A MUST for small link chains.
