I'm an old wood carver and I have t say I was very much impressed with your vision and your expertise!! Great work. The makes me see power tools as a complete asset. Than you for sharing!
This is very inspiring. Minimal tools and a creative mind. Gives that, "anyone can do this" vibe. Perfect for people who can't afford to buy the expensive machines and tools.
Thank you so much! That is my intention, as I've only done a handful of carvings myself. Sometimes even I'm unsure of my own abilities, but we're all capable of accomplishing much more than we think 😉
I think when you posted the picture of the pieces rubber banded together, I guessed it was a fairy house...I was so wrong! Love the shark! My favorite thing is when the varnish goes on and the wood transforms!
You can teach anyone to do the work that you did on your carving, but you can not teach the vision that you possess. It is a skill that sets you apart from a lot of artists (yes, woodcarving is an art) and is something to be proud of. Thank you for sharing and awesome work!
Hey Ross, You didn't nail it, you sunk your teeth into it! Love to see a guy rip into his work. Gets the juices flowing. Blood pumping. Nice work! I just started getting into power carving, as I found a source of kiln dried assorted hardwood in the log and really want to carve it, but my Pfeils aren't up to the red oak. So six bucks worth of firewood was the excuse to.... finally buy a Foredom TX, which I've been wanting for about 35 years. Could have bought a bunch of basswood for the price of the Foredom, but it's amazing and I'm getting inspiration from the hardwood, even if the really pretty stuff is like carving concrete with grain. Glad I found your channel. Subbed. Carve on!
Thank you so much! 😊 It's actually a bit of a challenge adding humor while also being genuine. Still working on my camera presence, but I find it helps to pretend my camera is just a person. Essentially, it is 😉
Great video, the detail was fantastic and the idea was really inspirational. Great that you included the time from day today, shows the time an effort these things take. Definitely nailed it!
Clever idea with the rubber bands and using all the wood. Hoping to try power carving after using mostly chisels. Great carving and looking forward to more videos.
Thank you! 😊 I enjoy both power carving and hand carving, though much quicker with a rotary carver! I'll do a video soon with just hand carving, since my brother got me a nice set of blades for Christmas 😁
