aww thank you! maybe it's the ai playing god again nice taste in music

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.

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

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!

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 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.

What is the inside out pyramid? I’ve heard it’s referenced a few times. I’ve tried looking it up but no luck. Thank you

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Nice.

Lovely

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

Excelente aula.❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

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

Wow❤

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.

is this for a child level? or an adult swing sword? My mom had a boyfriend that made me and my sister swords when we were kids. My sister's was made out of white pine i think, mine was probably a quality oak. both were fine but my sister's would dent. If you want an actual hand guard you need a second piece of wood or it will break. your wood grain can only go one way and that will need to be down the shaft of sword or even a strong wood will break. I would suggest dark walnut or sycamore. both are pretty strong but not impossible to carve. something a bit lighter would be butternut. make the hilt/hand guard just a bump or you'll need to look at how to make a real sword and replicate with wooden pieces. Get leather studs for accents on hilt and pommel. Get leather strips to cover handle. If you have a 'woodcraft' near you, go to that to look at wood. ask for scraps and bring a carving knife to test wood to find personal determination to sculpt wood. good luck

Like a lot of like...likes...its like spoilimg a really good video..still giving you a like😂

👍🙏

Weeeeeeee!😁

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?

Woodcarving is difficult and expensive. The project needs to fit the skill,wood and tools...Having an idea and trying to make it come to life is very difficult. You will need to find projects already done, find out tools and not expect much change from projects already done by beginners. I would start with whittling, with quality knife from flexcut or deepwoodsventures that is already sharp. Use basswood. if you want to chip carve, use basswood for first project. get chip carving knife from flexcut or pfeil or Butz knives. There's a ton of information depending on what you want to do. I can do a phone call, email, or zoom if you have items and sketches you want to show. nosubject13@yahoo.com

yep, initially i thought carving would be cheaper than regular old woodworking but it seems not the case after knowing that you need a lot of tools (quality ones) to get the job done properly. I mainly make furniture and cabinets but i would like to add some carvings to my work just simple ones like lettering and geometric patterns. thank you for the tip! i will try to get some whittling knife in the future but in the mean time i have bought a chip carving knife from beaver craft. living in south east asia means that a lot of brands are not available and so does basswood (there are some but it is very expensive). there are only one store here that carries some pfeil,henry taylor and beavercraft tools so i went with pfeil and beavercraft which seems more affordable. as for wood, locals here go with jelutong wood which they say it is comparable to basswood. I appreciate your help and will send you an email in the near future. cheers !

weeeeeee!

what type of wood do you use to work with?

I have a small set of 15 carving knives/ chisels and your knife blade looks of better quality compared to some of mine... I’m fresh to carving in a way... especially by hand and I was surprised how sharp mine are as they don’t appear to be at a glance but My skin as hard as it has become can vouch for them! I’m now working on some oak at the moment.. quite small in a knotted rope style and it’s no surprise the oak is hard to carve and time consuming... as well as tough on the blades, there’s a huge difference when working with different species and it should always reflect in the outcome of the piece... it’d be nice to see how you could show of if any tips for working on harder and denser woods 👍🏼

Hi where can i buy this tool?

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.
