Schnitz-und Bildhauerschule Geisler - Moroder Wood Carving School 2013 Austria Trip

[@JoineeJoan]

Ooooh, this video warms my heart ! Even though filmed already in 2016, I feel at home rightaway :) For over 30 years we went on snow vacation in Elbigenalp, our appartment was only 100 meters further from the Geisler-Moroder shop. I'm also hoping that one day, I will be able to follow their carving classes, but the ones on carving nativity scenes ( I collect them)

[@MisterSplinters]

Hi thank you for the nice comment! Wow it’s a small world ! I hope you are able to return and take a workshop at this wonderful school ! Also, the nativity scenes are beautifully carved.

Down the line stick carving is probably the best carving discipline if you want to get proportions correct! Photos or a carved copy of your subject is a tremendous plus!

[@MisterSplinters]

Thank you for the comment

You better still be carving! Subbed! Thought i was already, but i subbed now... caving like this is more about discipline than anything. I figured they had Soul Food in Austria! Way to go Mr 'S'....

Hi ,nice video, looks like they don't fool around, I am amazed how fast he did that face, I noticed he used a straight no 1 tool , looked like 1 1/2 wide or 40 mm, Is that what you prefer to rough out or would a no 3 also work? Do they use any pheil tools or just stubia? Thanks 😊

[@MisterSplinters]

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply! Thanks for the nice comment. Yes, if I remember correctly the instructor used a #1 but a pfeil #2 or even #3 would also work because you are roughing out the face (removing excess wood) the school did not use pfeil, if I remember correctly it was stubia. Plan on returning for my 50th birthday at the end of 2023 so I can always confirm the tools that they use if you send me your email address. Hope you have a great weekend! Joe. [e-mail]

Excellent video. You lot are a talented bunch... I'm glad I didn't sign up for that class. I'll wait until there's a class for 6 year olds. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@MisterSplinters]

Thanks Brendan! Thank you for always watching my videos and for the nice comments. If interested the school does offer classes for all carving skill levels. Safe carving, Joe

Excelência

[@MisterSplinters]

Thank you :)

[@fastrivers812]

Very cool video thank you. I wish I could afford the opportunity to do something like that. Maybe when the kids are out of the house. As for now, I get to carve under some local carvers that have a lot of experience.

[@MisterSplinters]

Hi thanks for the comment . Hope you were able to pick up some carving tips from the video. Cheers Joe

[@MadreTobias]

Very nice .my name is Boy Newman and i can do carving i am struggle with tools please help me.

[@MisterSplinters]

Thank you. What type of carving do you do?

[@ronberlier6695]

I hate to ask, but that I must. Roughly what did the week trip cost you and what is the cost of the school. Thanks in advance. You are really fortunate to learn from such masters.

[@MisterSplinters]

Hi Ron, airfare was around $1,200 taxi service from airport to school was around $90- the course, room and three meals per day for the one week course was around $1,200. Then taxi service back to the airport is another $90-. This was 5 years ago so prices change. Hope this helps. It's worth saving up and attending. Regards, Joe

Hi

[@mschaefer9634]

Now that I've seen this, I have to go! What do you do with these newly learned skills?

[@MisterSplinters]

Hi mike thanks for the comment. If you decide to go feel free to ask me any questions to prepare for the trip. I attended the school three times already. Cheers Joe

Do they teach clay sculpt? Is'nt this a school? whats with 1 week?

[@MisterSplinters]

Thanks for the comment. Not certain if they have a class on clay. Also it is a school. You can take as many weeks of study as you wish or return and continue your study. Cheers!
