or those of you who are looking to do the project yourself, here are what I used in the video: Beavercraft Love Spoon Carving Kit: amzn.to/3VN3hTX Beavercraft S50X - Deluxe Large Wood Carving Set : amzn.to/3Pk0sHR Beavercraft SC05 - Palm gouge Kit: amzn.to/3W9LN41

Wow, what an intricate spoon. The Tick would be proud!

I love how you just did a woodcarving speedrun, it's fun to watch you work.

The only thing i can whittle is a pointy stick, yet with your videos i’ve been progressing allot with basic shapes and figures thank you. Your videos are also just really relaxing to watch

The spoon is pretty. Well done!

Looks so good, it would be a great gift to give to someone. Started whittling only 3 months ago so something this intricate has to wait

That was beautiful to watch

Thank you for another amazing video. I just started carving myself. Definitely your videos that have gotten me into all this . Thank you once again 👍🔥

just sending hearts 🥺❤️❤️ thanks for the new video!!

Great work with the vids and projects keep up the good work

How cute! Thinking about getting this as a gift for my bf, always wanted to pick up wood carving as a hobby. Also my kitty is named Milo too! Twins haha

Good tutorial about wood grain

That does look fun

Loved the video! neat little kit. Haven't been whittling myself lately since i got my lathe. But still love to watch!

nice video, the dala horse kit would make a great Christmas video.

I will be ordering my first kit today and learn this craft. For a kit to include band aids is not a good sign. Lol 😂

Show us the cat!. Hey! i love your channel, i want to buy the kit u recommend from amazon, with the basswood and stuff. thanks for sharing! greetings from Chile!.

Hey! Love your videos, I started carving about a year and a half ago in lockdown as a pass time and I started to really get into it so I thought about buying a kit but when I looked at the price I realised I definitely couldn't afford it so I'd like to know how you afford things like your s50 I would like to know things like if you mainly use the money you make from KZread or if you have a day job as well or if you just had to save for a long time.

Hi. I got some palm carving tools a couple of months ago, but I haven't been able to find many tutorials for beginner patterns to try. Do you have more vids on palm carving? Also, I made my family whittle gnome keyrings as extra gifts this year thanks to your gnome whittling tutorial. Many thanks. 😁

Hi, I am new to carving and I am wanting to buy some palm chisels, Many people on youtube are really pushing Flexcut. I own their detail knife, their skew detail knife and a micro "V" tool. I am not sure I want to spend $100.00 for 4 flexcut palm tools I might not like. I like the feel of the small handle but not the flexing of the metal shaft when I apply pressure on the tool . I have been considering buying the Beavercraft Palm chisel set on Amazon because they look much more sturdy (Shaft wont bend). I am just a bit nervous about the purchase as the blade looks thin where it enters the handle. I am also not sure if they will hold up to harder woods like Cherry, Maple and Walnut with out breaking. They look good and the price is right at $70.00 on amazon. I am a Disabled Vet on disability so price can be an issue. I am also considering buying their C17P Universal pro detail knife. Have you ever used this knife. Any way. can you help me make up my mind. I want to buy these tools but I am just a bit on the fence and need a little guidance. I would love to see more of your videos where you use the Beavercraft palm chisel set. Thank you for your help.

For someone looking to whittle smaller detailed products, would you recommend getting the kn53 or the kn13 and 14? is the kn53 versatile enough to be both a roughing and detailing knife? Or maybe something entirely different like the KN500 3-Knife Starter Set? Just hoping to get your input :)

@CarvingisFun

I personally like my kn13 and 14, but the KN500 is a great all around set that will cover everything you need for some small stuff

Thank you for doing this. Makes me want to try it, but looks a bit complicated for a beginner. Don’t know if I’m ready for it yet. But it’s something to look forward to. So beautiful and intricate. (So curious, what is your day job?? You’re such a creative person with your wood and stones. Just wonder if you work in the arts)

​@@CarvingisFun hard, I agree. Lol. Last time we chatted, I was in a tool shed whittling every night. I still have the pieces you sent me, and a Ryobi flex shaft now. I bounce between wood and gem carving and polishing too. Are you into that kinda stuff? I wasn't until I tried it, and on days I don't have a push to carve, I have the second hobby to switch to. I feel like you are prolly amazing at carving rocks. I almost feel like you've talked about rock carving? I might be crazy though. Lol. I moved a few hundred miles, into the middle of nowhere, since the last time we chatted. Life is a journey. Hope this year is an amazing one for you.

Жыл бұрын

it was really just a bunch of patience. The entire video was about 3 to 4 hours long, with 2 to 3 hours of it being just making the holes. I just started in the center and started to make deeper and deeper triangular cuts from both directions until they met and had a hole in the middle. then I started to widen from there to make the desired shape.

Hey man I just bought a carving kit from beavercraft. I bought a strop as well assuming that was alll I needed. but holy crap this knife feels unusable. I don't think I'm a weak person but I cannot cut through this wood no matter what angle I go at (with the knife and with respect to the grain), how much I strop, or how much force I put in. I feel like I'm not even cutting. I'm just brute forcing wood slivers off. I work out and I have pretty strong forearms so I don't think its because I'm weak. Are the beavercraft knives just garbage? I'm ordering a flexicut knife cause trying to carve a little piece of basswood was miserable. took me an hour just to get a centimeter or so shaved off.

@CarvingisFun

Жыл бұрын

I have recently heard hit or miss with beavercraft stuff, but all the ones I've gotten in were quite nice. Still, flexcut is a step above beavercraft and I do like them better if I feel like affording them. The other aspect is maybe your wood is a bit hard. What wood did you buy? Not all basswood is processed equally and many are really really hard to work with.

Failure always has such an unnecessary negative emotion applied to the word by society. We are taught not to fail, but this leads to people to not attempt to succeed as well. My background is engineering, without the many failures of development we would have never gotten to where we are today. I fail on a weekly basis, sometimes on a daily basis. But I keep trying something to get past the hurdles to my goal. Even in my carvings my mess ups or failures arent negative. I learn something from them and keep moving forward with new knowlage. Plus, who doesn't like chipping off wood in such a satisfying way? I have a feeling that I need to make a video on this subject....
