Anchoring

Home / About – Techniques / Anchoring

Anchoring


It is absolutely essential that the hand holding the carving tool, or the arm of the hand holding the carving tool is always firmly anchored to the work or workbench.
This will ensure that you have control of the blade at all times which will prevent you from slipping.
Note in the pictures for the pinch and fist positions how the hand that is holding the tool is firmly fixed to the work.
