Excellent video! I have access to a dremel 3000. I've really struggled getting the results I want. Would you say the power is just not strong enough and I need to upgrade to a 4000?

@tolagan 4 года назад

U.S. Skull Hunter thanks brother. I have started playing around with some carving as we have a lot of skulls in our garden. I have borrowed a dremel 3000 and wanted to ask your opinion on the advantages of the 4000 model over the 3000? As when it is time to by my own I do need to consider my budget closely. Also the skulls I am using are very chalky coloured and have been out in the sun for a long time. As I have not taken them through the degreasing process I see you discuss in a video I wonder if this is why it is hard for me to see my lines.

@usskullhunter 4 года назад

@@tolagan The advantage a 4000 has is just more torque and speed. You can certainly carve with a 3000 no problem though. You will just be able to work quicker with the 4000. Can you by chance send me a photo of a skull you are working on so I can see the lines you are talking about? I go by the same name on Facebook and Instagram U.S. Skull Hunter

Hey Hunter,I was given a cow skull and wanted to do something unique with it. I have experience with a Dremel and carving but I may never get another cow skull to carve. That being said, thank you for you great video. I feel more confident now and ready to pick my design. I think that will be the hardest part. Again thank you for sharing you knowledge and talent. BTW I also have a big set of deer antlers,I know it might seem strange but I plan to put them on the skull some how. Let ya know how that works out. Lol

@samanthameyers7648 Год назад

I have a few older skulls that I found to experiment with, but what can I do to make them as clean as yours?

@sulmadebeer2029 Год назад

Thank you for this tutorial, it definitely helps alot. I was just wondering, in your tutorials, your skulls doesn't look hard at all to engrave into. But when I try it it is a complete nightmare. My burrs doesn't even last through one carving. Does your skulls get prepared in such a way that they soften up? It is as if my skulls are extremely dense.

@brianpoor763 3 года назад

I have a question, I have a deer and moose skulls and they are several years old, they still have some dried meat on them, any idea how I can get rid of the dried meat? and also is there a way to get them to bone white again? Love your videos and work, thanks Brian Poor

@usskullhunter 3 года назад

Hey Brian, Thanks for watching! Yes, so maceration works great for skulls in that condition. I regularly get people bringing me skulls to carve that have dried tissue on them that I then have to clean using maceration first. This is how it's done ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YoMLietd3KQ.html

@uberkitten777 3 года назад

Do you think a dremel stylo could be used (with the right attachments) instead of a 4000? Thank you!

To some extent yes. I think you will be a bit limited to light carving but yes.

@daniellasangster4147 5 лет назад

This was a great video; thanks! In terms of order of operations, do you generally cut areas out first, or do you do the more superficial line work first? Also, do you have any recommendations for a medium to practice on whilst one is honing their skills? Wood?

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Hey Daniella! I don't necessarily have a set order but more often than not I do the cut out areas last. Well, nothing compares to carving skulls, but any practice is good in my opinion. You can pick up a beef bone though at most pet stores.

@stealthnight452 3 года назад

If I clean degrease and whiten a skull, should I clean it with isopropyl alcohol, and then seal it with a thin layer mop & glow? I've seen some recommend doing a thin layer mop & glo after whitening to seal the skull

@usskullhunter 3 года назад

Hey! Sorry for the late replies. If you have properly cleaned and degreased the skull there is really no need for the mop & glo.

What's the easiest method for degreasing a skull? Dawn? How long does that take and is it necessary to heat the water?

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Hey Silas! Dawn is what most people use. Degreasing time will very depending on the skulls and how it was processed up to that point. Anywhere from a few weeks for smaller skulls to 60+ months for larger stuff. Yes, keeping it warm helps break down the grease.
