• From George Parrott on Carving Laurel Leaves

    Thanks Mary. Guess I need to learn to read everything and look closely. Now we know why I like the videos.

    By the way, thank you very much for a great educational site. I enjoy everything about it. I am looking forward to the improvements to my projects.

    The template appears to open the template for an acanthus leaf on a corner bracket.

    Thanks

    George

      Hi George,
      Yes. You are correct. The laurel leaf template is located below the acanthus leaf. This design combines the acanthus leaf with the laurel leaves.

    Mary, I wonder if you could increase the volume on your video when it is being produced. I'm having a hard time hearing you even with the volume on my Mac turned all the way up.

      Bob Easton here as technical support for Mary May's web sites.

      One other thing to check...
      The video player has a row of vertical bars right next to the HD button. Those are the player's volume control See if all 5 are showing. Drag a mouse over them to change the level.

      Hi Rob,

      Sorry you're having issues with the sound.

      That is more a camera issue and we have recently upgraded our microphone system. Hopefully the lessons from now on should have much better sound.

      Thanks!

  • From Kt on Carving an Acanthus Leaf on a Cabriole Leg

    Hello Mary,

    I am really enjoying your website and how much it offers. This note is concerning the same thing Jim Brower addressed in his email. Like him I am having trouble visualizing the design and know the correct way to attach the knee blocks. Bore and dowel works well usually but with the carving on this block I need a set of the same photos you are locating for Jim. A pattern would be a great help too, Hope to hear from you soon.
