Choosing a set of tools for linocut - A tutorial by Linocutboy
Фильм және анимация
In this video I talk about the set of tools I use for making linocuts and which ones I recommend to get if you are starting out.
Featured in the video are the following Pfeil tools: 11/1, 11/3, 9/5, 12/1 and 7/10. The large V gouge is from a set of Japanese cutters which come in a blue box.
All of these tools can be bought in the UK from:
handprinted.co.uk/
intaglioprintmaker.com/
www.jacksonsart.com/
Please comment and I will do my best to answer questions.

Thanks Colleen!
I'm loving all your videos. Exactly the info that I've been after as I haven't printed since school. I am getting the Japanese starter set and wanted one extra fine tool to supplement. Do you definitely recommend a U tool over V for detailed outlining? I'm doing an intricate Indian wedding elephant design with the couple's name etc.

Thanks Salma! Glad you like the videos. The difference isn't huge between them. The U will give you a more regular, even width line and the V will have more varied width. I've always preferred the U myself.

Thank you this is really helpful, I have a set of Pfeil tools but I didn't understand what the numbers corresponded too and now I know ! I also think there are some in my set that I won't use. I would be interested on your thoughts about the Speedball Speedy carve.

Thanks Amy! I've not tried the speedy carve. I suspect it's too stretchy for me! But I think it might be good for stamping.

I don't know the brand. They come in a blue box which says woodcarving tools, 5 pcs. There is some text in Japanese too. You can get them in a few places in the UK including handprinted.co.uk I'm not sure about other countries. Hope that helps!
This is 200 in amazon

Please don't buy from amazon. It's not necessary.

@@flash_flood_area I ended up getting it from Jackson's for 'bout half the price listed on amazon. I really hated the speedball cutters since they un-screwed while working
