Can I Make a Replacement for My Melted Spoon? || Power Carved Walnut Spoon
I melted my plastic serving spoon in the oven, so I decided to power carve myself a replacement out of some scrap walnut.
I used Kutzall and Saburrtooth bits for most of the shaping of the spoon and used Odie's Oil for the finish.

Carved Tree of Life with Resin Background
มุมมอง 4.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I love trees so I decided to cut one out of wood with my scroll saw! Then I thought it might be fun to shape the tree and make it more 3d with some carving. At that point, I figured, why not complicate things even more, so I added an epoxy resin background to the mix! This one's got it all - drawing, scroll sawing, power carving, resin, and hand carving. I mainly used my scroll saw, Dremel, woo...
Printed Image Transferred to Wood
มุมมอง 2425 ปีที่แล้ว
I digitally recreated a painting from a movie, then printed it on a laser printer and transferred it onto a piece of basswood. It's a pretty simple process, it just requires a LOT of paper-rubbing. It's all worth it in the end though, because the final result is awesome! More fun projects are in the works, so be sure to subscribe and ring that bell so you don't miss them. Thanks for watching!

Sea Turtle Necklace Carved out of Rock
มุมมอง 2K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi everyone, Weston here. For this project, I used a Dremel rotary tool and some diamond files to carve a little sea turtle out of alabaster rock. Then I coated him in epoxy resin for durability and made him into a necklace! More fun projects are in the works, so be sure to subscribe and ring that bell so you don't miss them!

Acrylic Dirty Pour Painting
มุมมอง 2465 ปีที่แล้ว
Hey everyone, Weston here. This was my first acrylic pour painting ever and it was so much fun to make! I ended up doing a dirty pour with white, black, silver, and turquoise Craftsmart paints on a 16"x20" canvas, and I'm very happy with the end result.

Power Carving Wood to Look Like Sand
มุมมอง 96K5 ปีที่แล้ว
For this project, I used an angle grinder, a Dremel, and lots of sandpaper to carve a Douglas Fir 12"x30"x1.5" board to look like sand dunes or wind-blown sand and I love how it turned out! My design was inspired by @nugeandwood and the orange/red sands of northern Arizona and southern Utah where I grew up.

Scroll Saw Lotus Flower
มุมมอง 7295 ปีที่แล้ว
This was my first ever scroll sawing project and it was so much fun! I used birch plywood - 1/4"x12"x12" for the piece I cut with the scroll saw and a 1/8"x12"x12" piece for the backing.

Parametric wallart please, by using regular tools (no cnc machine please)
this was dope, I think I wanna try this out but I'm burn then stain mine. Thanks for the upload
That's the best tree of life scroll saw / carving project I've seen. Well done and thanks for showing us your project. Take care with that belt sander, those things are dangerous!
Thank you!
Your overall plan of the “dune” locations could have been better. Next time, grab a drone pic of some real dunes and trace that onto the board.
Hi
What is wood and where can you buy it?
What is wood and where can you buy it?
Now try carving African sculpture.
beautiful organic shapes
I did enjoy. Well done. Vision and initiative. Love it. Never seen sanding with poly. End result has a natural appeal and is beautiful.
Thank you!
Nice!
Thanks!
No need for showing injuries...
Just got a tool last week thanks for the video hopefully it’s the therapy that’s needed lol
Glad to hear it. Happy carving!
Mineral spirits will raise the grain. However, it is a good step in making sure your wood is absolutely smooth before staining. This is nice work.
Thanks, Matt!
Just got my first angle grinder yesterday and this video is so helpful. I knew I couldn't use the discs it came with for what I wanted to do but wasn't sure what the best attachment would be. There are a ton of different options listed online for carving wood along with a lot of stories about people getting hurt. The piece you made is pretty close to what I what I wanted it for and seeing it actually executed makes me feel a lot more confident about getting started.
I'm so glad you found it helpful, Sissy! I hope you went ahead with what you wanted to create and enjoyed the process. Thanks for watching!
Great work man! This video inspired me to imitate something similar. What grit did you use for the wipe on poly and why did you use sand paper?
Thank you! I love that it inspired you to make something. I used 1000 grit and applied very little pressure. This takes the place of waiting to sand after the first coat. It just helps to knock down any grain that might raise up in the first coat of poly so the finish is really smooth.
Hi!
Hi, George!
I think I speak for everyone when I say THANK YOU for muting the sound of your angle grinder. Not sure why others haven't caught on to that yet.
I couldn't agree more, Chaz! Thanks for watching!
Its not the Mineral spirit that caused the coarse areas, they were always there, just the liquid made them stand up. Next time just wet the wood with a bit with normal water, this will cause the grains that are not well sanded just flattened to rise up, so you can sand them and knock them off.
Thanks for your insight, Ori!
Isn't wood curving just beautiful craft 🔥
How much time consume in one piece
What angle grinder that u r using
In this video, I'm using a Hercules from Harbor Freight. I now use a Hitachi with variable speed that I like much better.
I did it with Woodglut.
Very cool. Nice job.
Thank you!
Nice
Thanks!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME RESULTS!!!!! MANY BUSHELS OF KUDOS TO YOU!!!!! Great tutorial, in ALL respects. Liked and subbed after you wowed me - couldn't help it!
Thank you!
@@CraftyWesty I offer to you $80.37 USD for it, postage included.
Forgot to wear family jewel protection 😅
😅
That’s stunning! Love it 😍
Thanks, Jennifer!
Definitely one of the more aesthetically pleasing power carving examples that I've seen! Awesome =)
Thank you!
stellar end product 🔥
Thank you!
Dunno if anyone mentioned this yet but you’re using the wrong filters on your respirator. Those are particulate filters which will stop dust but you’re inhaling all the juicy VOC’s from the conditioner, stain, and clear coat you’re applying. You need charcoal filters to stop vapours. But hey, a little cancer never hurt nobody! Stay safe kids.
Thanks for pointing this out, Jon! I'm all about safety first. I've since learned what you've shared, but I appreciate you bringing attention to it. At the time, I had no idea that what I was using wasn't doing anything to protect me from all those nasty vapors.
Awesome project! I wondered though… why use sandpaper to apply wipe on poly and what grit?
Thanks, Mike! I used 1000 grit and applied very little pressure. This takes the place of waiting to sand after the first coat. It just helps to knock down any grain that might raise up in the first coat of poly so the finish is really smooth.
Hi.
How much did you sell that for?
Hey Dennis, it's still available.
thanks brother
Nice work. I like the effect of the stain being wiped off so soon, quite subtle.
Thanks, fordv8man, subtle is what I was going for!
Neat effect. Well done!
Thanks, Shane!
Cool! Why use sandpaper with the poly?
It helps work the poly into the fibers, knocks down any grain that might raise up in the first coat of poly, and I've found it gives me a smoother finish in the end. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic
Thanks, Andrew!
Good job.
Thanks, San D!
You have great skill👍
Thanks, Dinesh!
Hi
Beginner here. Wondering if a sanding mop could help you with the fun sanding. Designed to sand curved surface and they come in different sizes. 4" maybe could choice here.
That's a good suggestion, Johni. I think something like that would have made the sanding go much faster after I had worked out the gouges and refined the shapes.
Nicely done
Thanks, Tom!
That is awesome! I am just planning to do wood art. This was the most informative and real video I've seen about this great explanation. Good job
Thanks, Matt!
What is obtained by applyin poly with sandpaper? Thank you.
It helps work the poly into the fibers and I've found it gives me a smoother finish in the end. Thanks for watching!
Interesting that board cupped in the direction that it did
I was surprised as well. My guess is that carving it exposed "fresh" moisture that could get out faster than the uncarved side and that caused the cupping.
Keep doing you brother. Loved it ❤️🌹
Thanks, Basarat!
Where did you hang/display this?
Great idea.
