1. HISTORICAL EXAMPLE
For the historical example I chose woodcarving, because this is something I tried at a young age and I wanted to see how it would go now. I found these beautiful woodcarvings on Tumblr and was instantly hooked, the simplicity and the smoothness oboy.
Here is some research I did:
Here are the carvings I experimented with:
Got some tools from my mother and bought a hammer and clamps. This was not as easy as I though it would be. After a whole day carving my body was bruised and pained. But the thing was I kept on going, although it did not go according to what I had in mind. I am an impatient person and want things to be finished asap so this took to long in my eyes. It was addictive. MUST MAKE THIS WORK. It was frustrating. I am a perfectionist. It gives satisfaction to get a little bit further every carve. It was a thinkfree zone. I got obsessed, woodcarving is everywhere around us and now I notice everything.
COMPARITIVE EXAMPLE
NEW SKILL
Since woodcarving by hand is such a pain in the ass I decided to work with the wood turning table. This gives me the joy of woodcarving but doesn't wear my body out. Things are slightly different now:
It is addictive. I AM MAKING THIS WORK. It is slightly frustrating sometimes. I am a perfectionist, I can use that in my power to create the fluent lines. But also can put it aside when a chunk of wood breaks of, or if I carve to much. It gives ALOT satisfaction, it makes me feel proud of what I've made. It is a thinkfree zone, I can let myself let lost with the wood and let it lead me to a new form. I get in a focus-zone. I still am obsessed, woodcarving is everywhere around me and now I notice everything. There is so much beauty in the wood and the prints in it.
I was to late for an open aanbod, but luckily the teacher was so sweet to give us a brief instruction. Beforehand we had to read the instructions:
1. Get a piece of wood (fine wood, dried wood, or fresh wood for extreme thin carving)
2. Cut it in a square form, if the diameter is under 45mm you don't have to make a pin.
3. If your diameter is above, make a pin.
4. If your diameter is above, flatten the corners.
5. On the other side, mark down a centerpoint and stick something(priem) in it.
6. Put your wood in the machine and tighten carefully.
7. Start with the big round carving thing to make the wood fully round.
8. Continue with the smaller carvers for details.
9. When satisfied with form, start polishing, start with 120 or so, and around 600 put some oil on your wood and continue till 1200 or so.
10. oyeah: when you want to hollow something, don't turn your wood to thin. what you see down here is 'officially' wrong.
12. Cut of the rest wood.
13. TADAAA.
