Many thanks

Fur was done with the Chainsaw.

⁠Thanks! I’m currently working on an otter and been wondering if the saw can do an otters fur right. You got it done nice. I’ll use the saw.

Many 😊

Many thanks 😊

Many thanks, it took about three days to carve.

Cheers, yep, got the skirt ready to fit. Just got to refit the fuel tank and radiator and she's ready to fly.

Normally I'd do the whole job in one go, but ran out of time on the initial visit and then weather etc, prevented us from finding a suitable time to complete it until now. I think this tree had been down a couple of years before I worked on it, but most of the time I work on stumps that have been fuelled pretty recently. The greener the better really. Once they start to season they get harder to carve.

Many thanks 🙏

Thanks, it's always difficult getting the eyes right. I do them lots of different ways, but it's just down to practice and patience. The trouble with eyes is that getting them right or wrong is what makes or breaks a sculpture quite often.

Many thanks, I'm so glad you like it and have found it useful.

Many thanks for your comments it's always great to know and I'm happy you find the videos useful.

Many thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Many thanks for your comments, it was certainly an interesting project!

Thanks for your comments, it's great to be able to pass on what I've learned and am still learning. I've got lots of projects in the pipeline, so I'm going to try and do some more videos focussing on specific techniques. Best wishes.

You're welcome, hope it's helpful.

If I can help others by sharing what I've learned, that's the best part. I'm still learning every day.

I used to be the same, but lots of practice and it gets easier.

Glad you like it

Thanks, I do have plans to do a video focussing on feather detailing from start to finish.

Are you sure you've got the right tiktok? My commissions definitely aren't closed.

@@mattdargechainsawpowercarv358 I am not sure. Somehow when I clicked the TH-cam link it sent me to your TH-cam channel. Michael jones chainsaw sculptor was the one I was looking for. Sorry

@@soobturbo2006 no worries, I know Mike very well, great guy, very helpful and I'm sure he'll be reopening commissions at some point.

Many thanks, it's all in the detail!

I learned by watching other people, and still learning now! .....every day's a school day!

That's great to hear, I'm so glad you find the videos useful.

Thanks, it came out quite well.

Many thanks, it's a great saw, plenty of torque, but for blocking out on carving jobs, it goes through the batteries too quickly. Used it for cutting up firewood the other day at got a lot longer use out of it.

yeah, there's a lot of info about msa300, but mostly about it cutting up firewood and i would use it mostly for carving, i guess you would need at least 3 batteries, specially when carving outside in the winter time :) Thanks for the heads up! I guess i'll stick with my old 261 :)@@mattdargechainsawpowercarv358

Many thanks 🙏

Thanks, that's great to hear and really is what it's all about. I've only been doing this for five years and managed to make a full time business out of it. So it's great to encourage like minded people to push themselves and see where they might end up. Good luck on your carving journey.

Sure appreciate that. thank you@@mattdargechainsawpowercarv358

Thanks, think it's one of my best fish so far.

Many thanks 🙏
