love the story dave . i guess we all did some crazy things when we were younger . i to enlisted in the service when i was 17. didn't do anything that crazy but pretty close, but not enough to not serve . i guess when you're young you don't think so clear .

I like the story almost more than the carving info.

Great I'll bring it up with my Dave's

Very nice tutorial Eric, don't think I will be using much MDF though like you say far to much dust when you carve it. Like the stories from your dad though, nice memories to have mate. The only memories I have of my parents are a couple of grainy 8mm films without sound.

Amen Dave you go Eric that's what I do with my grandkids tell your dad I told one of my tails when I stole a can of oil and we stole truck with no oil, ha, ha grandkids love the stories. Ty you for sharing

[dondyer]

I have been wondering about carving MDF now I know, thought it might be kinda dusty. Thanks.

[randynoble]

Eric you keep it up.! I would give anything to have my Dad on tape, but technology was not there then.

[crystalsimpson]

Just too messy I'll stick with the cedar at least it smells better

[billsmiley]

Enjoyed the demo video, but gotta say, I really enjoyed Dave's story. Thought I had lived an interesting life @ age 74, Dave's probably got mine beat. Please continue to do more.

Thank you for the demo! It looks like I won't be trying that anytime soon. Thank you for saving me the headache and money! The stories are great! Much like listening to my grandpa! Very much appreciated! Great job on the camera Vicki!

[billrutledge]

Where do you get the oak veneered MDF?

[peaseaman]

Hi Eric.i tried my first time mdf project last week just a thin board and I used a scroll saw (naughty I know..lol)and it cuts really well.will send a email.I love the section of the three of you just sitting around the table .one question does everyone always wear hat's over there..lol

[celticfrost]

Hi Eric. I lost my Dad 10 years ago and I wish I'd have thought of capturing his stories. Keep them coming and more importantly keep Dave talking, he's one cool Dad to be proud of. All the best Ian.

Just watched the video of your dad, like it a lot, how steady is your hands during the 0, amazing

[mikegunnellsministriesinc]

Very good show I am just now really getting into wood carving and
I have watched a few of you & your dad's shows so far what is the best way to cut down on the dust with MDF

[TerryBarkes]

Thanks for sharing but I like that redwood better but that' just me. God bless now

[JimmyKoKo]

Looks like that stuff could be more hazardous to your health. The MDF would be for interior use only. RIGHT?

[fivevenomstyle]

That grin on Dave's face when he was telling that tale was adorable, I love it. I carve a lot of MDF, without the veneer, but I have modified my router so that my 6.5 hp shop vac is hooked straight to the exhaust port on the back, but I still wear a respirator type mask.

Great job Dave. I can relate to the old stories. I have a lot of those kind😇😇
