Terms of use

Using woodworkandfix.com means accepting what follows. If any of it does not suit you, the remedy is straightforward: do not use the site.

What the guides are

The guides describe techniques for carving wood with hand tools. They are written from experience and are offered as information, not as instruction supervised by anyone. Wood varies, tools vary and hands vary, so a technique that works here may need adapting at your bench.

You are responsible for your own work and for deciding whether any described method suits your materials, your tools and your situation. Carve Small accepts no liability for outcomes arising from following, adapting or misreading anything published here.

Content and reuse

The text and illustrations on this site are original and remain ours. You may quote a short passage with a link back. You may not republish whole guides, translate them for another site, or feed them into a service that regenerates them as new pages.

Links out

Some guides link to suppliers, makers or reference pages that we do not control. Those links are provided because the destination was useful when the guide was written. We are not responsible for what those sites publish, sell or do with your data afterwards.

Advertising

This site carries advertising. Ads are selected and served by the advertising network, not chosen by us, and their presence is not an endorsement of the advertiser. If an ad on this site appears to be misleading or inappropriate, telling us via the contact page is genuinely useful.

Availability

The site is published as a personal project. It may be offline for maintenance, moved, restructured, or discontinued, and no continuity of any URL is guaranteed.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be revised. The date below shows the current version, and continuing to use the site after a revision means accepting it.
