. Review -- This video looks like it was designed by an educator, recorded and lit by a professional, and executed by an artist.. Any section of the carving process is easily reviewed with a single click!. Watching the figure take shape under the knife is a satisfying experience in itself. The only problem is he makes it look so easy..
Really like how you have each step labeled... really a good project for the beginner. I'll utilize your instruction for teaching my grandchildren how to carve. Thanks!
No project is simple if you never carved anything. This is the clearest presentation of carving a wizard I've seen so far on TH-cam. Good discussion of what you're doing. Video shows clearly how your knife is making the cuts. Nice job. You explain everything well.
Wanted to ask as someone who tends to overthink things... did you practice using your different blades before committing to one you liked more or did you just dive in and give it your best with whatever one felt more natural?
I get so nervous making those deep outline cuts for the beard/mustache slicing the tip straight into the block. Any advice to make sure that's done as safely as possible?
I totally understand. I recommend gloves, of course, but also I think a thicker knife blade makes it easier to control. Choke up on the handle quite a bit, maybe even hold the blade itself, like you would a pencil. Then make sure to pull the lines more than push, and that the hand that's holding the wood is out of the way should the blade slip. Hope that helps!
@@WoodcraftersCorner wow thanks a bunch! I have a glove on order now, I'm a guitarist and can't afford to damage the hands :). Choking up on the handle gives a lot more security, and I will focus on pressing less into the cut, and more along the cut. Makes sense that if there's no hand in the path, it should be safer.. Great channel! I'm really enjoying this hobby thanks in huge part to content creators like yourself!
Hi 🥰!!Would you be interested in testing a mask from the second-largest mask manufacturer in the United States and sharing it with your fans through a reel post?
Really enjoyed that thanks for a great video. Only just started carving so I'm really looking at ideas and techniques. I'll be looking at more videos cheers take care keep well mate.
I am having so much trouble cutting out the cheekbones. Either I end up splintering the wood, making too shallow of cuts, or cutting the nose clean off :(
I've run into the same difficulty, especially cleanly cutting out the small triangle at the corner juncture of the nose and brow. When I finish with the nose, there is a deep, shredded space between the nose and the cheeks. I sure would like some advice.
I agree. So many carvers on TH-cam promise a simple project but leave out explaining lots of critical details while they just 'clean up' their carving.
A great project for a novice carver! Chinchilla approved, Renaldo Spellarino De La Cruz the Third (Made with a fitting wizard cap) is being destroyed by my wood muncher :D Thanks for such a clear and concise tutorial!
Hello greetings from Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan Canada Thank you for the good idea. The Winter are long here , there will be allot wizard's around . Good job 👍
Muy buenos estos videos, esta bien que viéndolos se aprende mucho, pero tendrían más vicitas si fueran al menos subtitulados en español, con todo agradecimiento y respeto.
Excellent introduction. Naming him and making comments about him moves this from just an exercise in carving to a personalized carving ,

Bob ross inspired wood carver its our little secret. Needs a tree.

Wow! A beginner project that's actually simple enough for a beginner! Thanks!
That is fantastic to hear. Glad it was helpful!

Great video! I've been doing relief carvings for a couple of years, but knife carving intimidated me until now. Thanks a lot!
These are the things you'll need. They're gone now.... hahaha
Wish you would drop the old man and say wood spirit.
Better without sound
What size is the wood
Bravo voglio provare anch'io bravo
Love the commentary! Keep making
