The Woodcarving Lesson that will Change your carving forever. 

I need these types of videos… get so aggravated at times when I can see what I want to carve but just can’t figure it out on the wood. Thank you so much! Jer

That was an interesting lesson. Thank you.

Have no idea why it was in my recomendations, but it's interesting

right off to my basement workshop I go :) cheers for keeping it simple and easy to follow

Love this. Thank you so much. I am just getting into wood carving and I already love it so much. It clears my mind and takes me away from the world. I'm quite far from good, but I'm already seeing improvements. I will for sure be using these exercises! PEACE.,

This was very informative, and I really like that wizard spirit!!!

This has totally changed my carving so far! Thank you ☺️

Great video

Once I got the ooooar down the cuts started looking good thanks.

I don't always carve wood, but when I do, I go "weeee.'

Great lesson!! But I admit it was the sound effects that made my day!

Presentation is great.. I’m looking at this from a “buying my first tool” perspective.. watching him with the eye at the end, he messed it up but changed it and made it work still.. I do construction so I understand material costs and availability and can translate it.. idk man, I’m vibing on a Saturday night to this shit. It’s outstanding.

This is my favorite woodworking channel because he goes weeeeeeee

Love the tutorial, very helpful. For the sake of my own mind, the shape is not a triangle and not a pyramid. It is a tetrahedron, as all 4 sides are triangles. All the best!

This was actually the first one I learned. However, I know a few master carvers and one of them taught me the inside out pyramid when he gave me my first (actual) woodcarving knifes. he gave me a chip carve blade similar to the one used here, and a super thin, super narrow very pointy detail knife, explaining that its nearly needle shape was for geting in to finish (a missed connection) or pop out the chip cut without adding pressure to the grain that the thicker chip carve blades will present. I always called the scalop cut a roll cut because the way you roll the blade. One friend is an absolute wonder and I wish I could show some of his work. it is unbelievable. His specialty obsessions are penguins and hats. Penguins sounds odd or simple but this guy is beyond OCD detailed, every feather has plumes and quill and is lifelike even without paint. His hats, look exactly like real hats, some have cloth texture, some like woven straw. Same thickness as cloth felt or straw hats (mostly cowboy or fedora). He is way off grid and refuses pictures or phones in his presence. Its his trigger. Yeah he knows they spy and all that crap, but its peoples addictions and obsessions with them that he absolutely hates. I do have a picture of me in one somewhere, but was a hat he left with a friend. That one was only 100$. now that the art crowd in san fransisco found him, his penguins go for about 2500$ and the hats around 15-1800 (he will customize the fit if you travel to his county). A little crazy, 10 miles past the last powerline or phone, but great workers to learn from. I just wish I could get out there more and work with one of these guys a while. Good video. As you said, its not just for decoration, but good for strategic depth/ spacing wood removal so youre not just digging around with a blade.

Hey it’s been awhile since I’ve tuned in. You’re looking great man, hope you’re doing well!

Wow that's awesome teaching bud,i have almor everything but a chip knife

Interesting as I'm thinning my Beaver Craft blade and already noticed that the handle is to thin for my medium/large hands also my older age of 72 I'm in need of larger handle. Thanks for helping

Nice.

Excelente aula.❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

Lovely

Great beginning video, like your enthusiasm forget about negative loser comment. My first video I have seen. Will check out your channel. Thank you.

Wow❤

This is very simple carving but necessary for most .lm self taught but understand the math

What is a best/recommended wood, offering best balance of carveable but is strong for something like this; we want to make a wooden sword (2' long max). We don't want too hard of a wood that will make it hard to cut/sand. HOWEVER, we don't want the wood to be too soft, where the sword will be easy to break. One piece sword... not multiple pieces.. a simple project for 12 yr old. No massive details to be carved into the wood. We're just after the general shape, cut from a 1-2" thick piece of wood. Initially it will be "blocky" but we'll sand the edges, more so on the "blade" part. Again, we don't want to go too soft but not too hard either.

what type of wood do you use to work with?

I just started carving and i went to use the standard size chisels and gouges method but then it got overwhelming as i needed a LOT of different sized gouges which are expensive (the good quality ones i dont bother buying cheap ones for chisel/gouges they are useless) then i saw chip carving which seems like it doesnt need a lot of different sized knives and shapes. one thing is these knives are small and all i see is people carve on basswood and im trying to carve big letters on hardwoods as I live in asia which basswood is hard to find and expensive. so i wanted to ask Is chip carving doable on hardwoods?

👍🙏

Weeeeeeee!😁

Hi where can i buy this tool?

weeeeeee!

That ain’t a eye homeboy

That has to be the worst demonstration of chip carving I’ve ever seen 🤦‍♂️. Learning as you go is no time to make an instructional video.
