My grandfather told me a story one time. He was a boy, this would have been in the late 1800's, and went to an old time carnival. There was a tent with a big sign that said "Learn The Secret Of Life". He paid his fare and went in. An old man was sitting, whittling. He said, "Whittle away from yourself boys and you'll never get cut." I still laugh when I think of this.
Hi Colin, not many people would be brave enough to share their first attempt at carving, it looks good to me, I hope we see the finished version. Thanks again.
That jumped out at me, too. As well as comments like "one of the things carvers tell me is that you will quickly start.... etc etc.". I'll just find a video of an actual wood carver in that case.
@@Spacehamster1OO No, you’ve completely misunderstood that concept. The best way to show you understand something is by teaching it to someone else. Many people claim to know something well but when asked to teach it their ignorance and lack of insight becomes clear. Fumbling your way through a tutorial is not a proven psychological trick to learning more effectively. Teaching to others sounds what you already know down deeper into your heart and mind strengthening your conviction. It does not somehow grant you greater knowledge.
You speak very humbly and positively about yourself. I really enjoyed this type of video and the anomaly of viewing a master as novice. It taught me a lot about how to approach a project.
just started watching and that's hilarious that they sent bandaids along! gonna keep watching, i've always wanted to get into wood carving and i love your attitude :)
Well done! It's always nice seeing BeaverCraft tools used for various wood carving projects. You've made a great spoon as for the first time. Keep up the good work!
Hello Colin , That is a brilliant first attempt! There are lots of carving videos out there but to watch someone who hasn't carved before was all the more interesting. As always a great video from you mate and I hope that you can come back and do a follow up on the spoon. Take care and stay safe , Bram
Great video, as usual. Mom has been after me to make her some wooden spoons. Thanks for taking away my excuse of not knowing how to start. Always informative and entertaining. Thank you.
They looked like BeaverCraft tools, so I followed your link to see. Yup, indeed they are. BeaverCraft makes some good little carving tools for less than Flexcut and some of the others. I’ve been extremely happy with my BeaverCraft knives and gouges. Nothing is more satisfying than wood carving.
Just a tip for beginers if you want to do your own spoon knife you need just to sharpen old round wrench. It's good enouhg and can be more handy than you think especialy more than one side edge spoon knives.
Hi Colin, That looks great and congratulations on showing everyone your first attempt at wood carving. Will there be a follow up to show the completed spoon? Cheers, Huw
Hi Colin I enjoyed your video. I`m not into carving but watch all your vids. Just one point I would like to make, never pull a sharp knife or chisel for that matter towards your body, always turn the material round and work away from yourself. (Just a safety tip).
Another great video. I love watching your channel. I’ve been doing a lot of hand carving and you’ve Inspired me to start a TH-cam channel, hopefully mine will be as inspiring as yours. All the best Andy
Good day sir... I'm new here and would like to learn wood carving Though I'm not good at art, I think carving is interesting so I decided to learn it. And I want to carve something for my crush as birthday present for her birthday 😊
This video is truly interesting😍 You made me encourage to do wood carving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I think I should consider this new learning, great work Mr. Colin!
I started carving after an operation. I have done over a hundred now its great ;-) Well worth getting into loved the carving you shown very nice. Yes wear a glove ;-) I have band aids and super glue at my side always as I carve lol. Yes bass is the best i started with pine. I hope you do more You will like it ;-)
This was a fun video. I hope that you do a few 'learning to carve' videos. I think that this would help those of us out here who want to get into simple carving.
I recently got some wood carving tools from Bevercraft and trust me they are sharp I could have used the band-aids. Thankfully nothing serious but you really do need to be careful.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. For sure it's a type of woodworking what anybody can start to do without the need of having a (well equipped) shop. The chisel-set/toolset, an anti-skid-mat and a kitchen table should do. As a left-hander I wonder if some of the chisels/tools exist also in a left-handed version.
I watched professional carver Mary May on Roy Underhill's Woodwright Shop and she said that pro woodcarvers learn to work with either hand. It's partly because of what Colin just experienced about grain runout, and partly so they don't have to spend a lot of time reorienting either themselves or the wood. I make no claim to being a woodcarver, I'm just passing along what she said. In another episode, Roy had on an older woman carver who he noted had made a mistake because 2 of the pieces she was working on were supposed to be identical, but weren't. She said, "Carvers don't make mistakes, they just change the design." Good words for all craftsmen (craftspeople?) to live by.
Last Friday I received exactly the same wood carving set. (without the band-aid set, though). Now I need to obtain some dry basswood. What dimensions is the block of basswood you started with to make the spoon? (mainly the thickness)
What kind of wood are you using? Do you have to soak wood to make it peel like that or can I just go outside and pick up any stick I like and carve away at it? Please and thank you! 😊🙂
When i was a kid i remember this guy picked up a log that was supposed to be for firewood than sat on a stump with only a knife he carved away all day... he created for me a really detailed hunting knife out of that... Of course it got taken away when i brought it to school :( but the dude was a legend one of the coolest memories i could have had as a child and i couldn't even guess he was spending his entire day to create such a nice memory for me.
Both the right handed set and the left handed carving tool set are not available on Amazon and they don't know if they are going to get more in. Any thoughts on a different set that you might recommend Colin? Great video -- thanks
hello from Denmark,,, i suggest for knowledge about avoiding the wood to split apart during drying, and for inspiration,, look into videos about traditional finish wood carving of a special cup,, called a ,,kuksa,, myself im very fashinating by these videos on youtube about kuksa,,,
Nice job on the spoon. Definitely not bad for your first time. Thanks for the great videos Colin. Where did you get the tool kit, and roughly how much was it? Thanks again
Hey can you draw out a dragon model on a price of wood please? I’m trying to make a dragon right now but I can’t seem to get the drawing of it right so the outcome might come out bad
I bought a carving kit a few years ago and I tried and failed miserably. The kit came with tools and a couple of small wood blocks. The tools would not even cut into the wood and I have up.
you can tell he's a power tool wood workers. No idea how to sharpen that hook knife and that the green buffing compound goes on the leather strop. Those planes hanging on the wall must just for show

It's good to see an experienced wood worker try something for the first time, that tells me there is always something new to learn
Title: Woodcarving for beginners
Narrator: “Now, I’m not going to teach you wood carving because I don’t know how”

One of the best ways to learn is, Ironically, by trying to teach. Some weird phsychology trick.

The bandaids are a nice touch to complete the kit haha 😂
Thanks for the vid I’m a little girl and want to be a wood carver but the only thing is i have no experience so this vid helped a lot thanks!
Hi Colin I made my first spoon over the past few days... I'll send you a pic. Thanks for the content 👍
That green stick is rouge for the strop. Good start!

Now I’m going to teach you something you can do without a workshop…
Now, Let’s head over to the bandsaw 😉
So excited! I have the same set. GREAT company!!
But besides that amazing job
Nice start. I’m sure Freddie Flintstone will like it. (Lol)!

Do you have a video link to how to sharpen those small tools using that leather etc? Many thanks from New Zealand
If you've played the last of us 2, you know that the character Joel has picked up this hobby.
This is awesome💖💖
sensacional , like
Nice video
My goals are beyond your understanding
The green stick is sharping compound to apply to the strop.

ima need to watch this to make my self a dummy gun
Hope you give that to Bobby Boucher.
That means you need to turn your wood around and carve in the other direction.
pl can i buy that tools...i am from sri lanka

how would you cut the wood down without a bansaw? just curious
