Carving tutorials

I found a very helpful marionette carving tutorial on on a web site called Puppets in Prague. Professionals run workshops on building traditional Czech armatures as well as manipulation and performance.

Under the how to make puppets link there are a number of step by step guides on:

• Preparing to start
• Drawing - proportions and technical drawing
• Cutting wood block
• Cutting ruff puppet shape
• Carving
• Assembly
• Costume
• Tools - chisels, gouges and saws

I should also research into other types of wood masonry other than marionette carving like wood turning for example.
