Really helpful vid!! For a first timer this gives me some ideas on how to get more control.

I’m saving this - A huge amount of info right here on this excellent instructional. I just got my tools and linoleum today.

Great tutorial! ❤

The tutorial was helpful. Thank you

Really great video!

Exactly the kind of video I was looking for :)

I got the micro and the mini set of flexcut carving tools, but I started out with the speedball interchangeable blade set. Great tutorial! I have a piece of traditional gray Lino that I haven’t used yet. I’m going to give some of these marks a try.

Thanks that was very helpful!

Thanks so much 😊

Thx!

Thanks! This helps alot. In my current project I also use the knife tool to pecisely cut tight squares and then scrape them deeper with the tip.

Hi Holly! I just discovered your videos. Is there a link somewhere on your channel for the Japanese tools that you usebin this video and the linocut for beginners video?

For the soft-cut lino I have found that digging in and not carving out but changing the direction of your tool to be horizontal and cutting the lino off in a straight line has almost the same effect as the snap :) (sorry if it sounds confusing, haha! I am not English)

Hi Holly, thanks for an excellent video. Can I please ask how you achieved such an even stain on the lino with the watered down acrylic? I tried with a brush and finished up with brush marks on the surface. In addition, I couldn't then transfer an image onto the lino. Neither graphite nor Saral would make a mark on the acrylic-painted surface.

Can you explain to me how you hold the beginner cutter? There’s a lot of different ways to hold it online and I want to hold it properly. Also could you tell me how much pressure you use when cutting? Thank you!

What brand was that box of Japanese tools?

Don't know if you will see this, I've only just discovered you. I'm just getting into lino cutting and bought the essdee set and was wondering what the bottom tool on the box is gorgeous? The really strangely shaped one no 5
