2nd lesson in carving, have you taken lessons in anything?

When you carve away from yourself, it's called levering because you use leverage to do it. When you carve toward yourself, it's called pairing. A cut is called a stop cut. It has different uses. They sent me home with another magazine. I hadn't done my homework very well. My strop wasn't made right. So he had to teach me how to strop a knife with his strop. My thumb protector was OK, but I can't feel anything through it, so I may have to make a different one. So have you learned some vocabulary for your craft? Like what? Have you had to redo anything you learned? Are their magazines with what you do?
