Mick Stidever continues with his journey of Woodcarving within this
Volume 3. In this diary he presents a further sixteen carvings from
a Grinling Gibbons Swag to a relief of African Elephants with many
others in between. He continues to recount his emotions; his highs
and lows as he endeavours to achieve the best possible result with
each and every carving. At times he succeeds; at other times he
falls short but continually he strives to learn more about the
craft. Whether he is seen to be improving his skills remains with
the reader but for him the journey was thoroughly enjoyable, once
again opening many doors to other related experiences along the
way. This particular volume of A Diary of a Woodcarver provides the
reader with a greater detail of each project than previously so
that others may, if they so wish, tackle similar carvings. This
diary again should provide encouragement, interest and a good read
for anyone with a love for the craft of woodcarving. The book is a
good and fascinating read and will inspire any carver to widen
their horizons and appreciation of woodcarving. Michael Painter

Build your own fort: Some of us are not as creative or skilled
enough to design our own forts. This instructional document is to
help the novice or semi-experienced carpenter to create their own
fort for their children or even pets. This fort was specifically
designed in a certain manner. It is called a shotgun fort because
it is straight back from the entrance like a shotgun apartment. The
picture on the front cover is the fort that was designed for this
plan. Some modifications were made to simplify this plan for the
novice. These instructions are a guide to build a 4x8 fort that is
roughly ten feet tall. It has a ladder leading into a four by eight
foot housing area. The housing area is four feet from the ground
and the roof is four feet from the deck.
This instructional document is to help the novice or
semi-experienced carpenter to create their own fort for their
children or even pets. This fort was specifically designed in a
certain manner. It is called a Rustic Fort because it has uneven
hoarding like a Civil War fort or Dark Ages fort. The picture on
the front cover is the fort that was designed for this plan. Some
modifications were made to simplify this plan for the novice.
However the original was designed to be a solitary 6x6x10 fort but
an additional sections with rampart was designed afterward. This is
obviously optional. It will be easy to add these portions later if
you want, rather than build the entire project at once. These
instructions are a guide to build a six foot square fort that is
roughly ten feet tall. It has a ladder leading into the back side.
The housing area is four feet from the ground and the roof is four
feet from the deck. The underground area is four feet from ground.
The backside is designed to be open where as the sides have
hoarding.
Mick Stidever continues his journey recounting his adventures with
the craft of Woodcarving. Within this second volume he presents a
further fourteen carvings from a Sea Eagle to a Self Portrait with
many in between. He continues to recount his emotions; his highs
and lows as he endeavours to achieve the best possible result with
each and every carving. At times he succeeds; at other times he
falls short but continually he strives to learn more about the
craft. Whether he is seen to be improving his skills remains with

Mick Stidever recorded his journeys around the UK and the World in
his book 'Ramblings of a Grandad'. This time he records his journey
with his hobby of woodcarving. From scratch he faithfully records
his endeavours with every carving he tackles, from a simple relief
to a portrait bust of his Paralympic swimmer daughter Jane. A total
of 47 carvings are presented in all. In this diary he recounts his
emotions; his highs and his lows as he endeavours to achieve the
best possible result with each and every carving. At times he
succeeds; at other times he falls short but continually he strives
to learn more about the craft. It records a thoroughly enjoyable
journey, not solely related to the carving but to the people he met
along the way and the many doors it opened to new experiences. This
diary should provide encouragement, interest and a good read for
anyone starting or participating in the craft of woodcarving. The
book is a good and fascinating read and will inspire any carver to
