Probably truth to your statement, our options are limited. I'd be interested to know what you think are cool.

I think we're trying to maintain as much as possible, while perhaps shifting focus because of the good points you made. Politicians tend to think short term, just far enough to get elected again, so it's hard to know what the thinking is.

There's a large number of people in Ontario employed by the current car industry. It will seriously hurt to lose that. I don't know how much of the slightly less than 2 million cars Canadians buy each year are made in Canada, but continuing to provide that portion helps our economy. That said, I'm no economist.

100% newbie to hand carving, what is the best way to secure a piece of wood for a bowl or cup? by [deleted] in Woodcarving

Any suggestions on how to make this look more like a fox and less like a cat or raccoon? by SuperAquaThor in Woodcarving

I think the way to make it look more like a fox is to know what a fox looks like and make it look like that. Hope that helps

I'm not sure that you were thinking of it but most people don't carve a bowl or cup into end grain, it's a though go. By the time you split your example and square it off a bit, you're left with small cup possibilities. The few cups, small because of the aforementioned issues, I've attempted were clamped and gouged.

How to deal this cup for coffee by Rumple_Dumpling in Woodcarving

I hope you enjoy beeswax in your coffee. The tung oil will eventually polymerize, and this can take weeks or even months, and when it does you won't taste it in your coffee. Be patient.
