Subject: [Baren 3991] Japanese Technique with the Press 

I have a friend who does beautiful work on the press, but I do not think she
is on the internet.  If you are interested , her name is Carole Baker, P.O.
Box  56, Gustavus, AK 99826.  She has her own tiny gallery in Gustavus so I
do not feel bad making her name public.   She is an accomplished water
colorist and, I think, got started printmaking with intaglio, but wanted
more colors.   She took a (hanga) workshop down in Vancouver a few years
back and has said she might do a workshop  for us in Sitka if enough here
are interested.

Most of those tools are for carpentry and woodjoining I think.
I'd consider the set of five MICHI  woodcarving tools (it's
"one"set:) on page 60 and forget the mallet for now.
I'd also purchase a  combination waterstone (a or b) on page 42
and learn to use it, without a sharp edge any tool is useless.
 I'm only a beginner tho and you may want change from my
.02cents worth  . Perhaps my choices may elicit further comment
from more experienced members.

Graham asked:
> Could you tell me why you want a mallet?

I thought we had to have one with our bullnosed chisel.  I forgot
it had to do with kind of wood, too.  Oops.  No mallet then?

Jack, thanks for the information sizewise on the bullnosed chisels.

Sarah asked about sized papers from Daniel Smith.  They used to
have a chart in their catalog that told about which papers were sized.
The new catalog doesn't seem to have it.  I don't know why they 
wouldn't have that chart available any longer, but I found it helpful
in the past.  I haven't ordered from them in a long time, so the change
in the catalog came about without me knowing.

Welcome to William.  You'll like Baren.  

Also, William, you mentioned using
Mulberry paper with no problems.  Were you using the paper
dampened as in hanga style printing, or were you using it 
dry?  This is important to Sarah because she uses dampened
paper and sizing would be necessary.  

Also, William, do you have any work on a website we could see?
