    Thanks for this, Van
    Very interesting to get the History of some awesome tools and meet the couple that worked so hard to develop them.
    I belong to the
    Rockford, Il carving club and met Denny Neubauer just prior to him moving to Arizona.
    One day he allowed me to make a knife out of an old drill bit along with Jim Hiser in Denny’s
    garage.
    It was a fun Day. I really like the OCC tools.

I use my 1 7/8" and 1 1/4" on just about every carving I do. Thanks so much for making a quality tools at an affordable price! OCCT knives are always on the list of knives to get when a beginner asks what they should buy 🤙

    Lovely interview Van. Though we now have loads of carving advice available in this technical age, you guys did it tougher but developed your own styles. We don’t have many carvers to learn from in Australia I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us and making our carving journey so much easier.
