great video! really enjoyed it. started carving in 93...at that time PC English was just a stones throw from me...got my first tools, wood, books there...great store and was sad when they closed....I noticed one of the first patterns you showed was from there...great memory of times going there
Leonard Price Thanks I hope this video was helpful. I would drive all the way from Arlington Virginia to their store to look at patterns and wood carving blanks.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Dominik Payton I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks for your question. It depends on the complexity of the pattern. The side profile is usually more complicated than the front so I will do that first. I will tape it back together and then do the other side. I do the more complicated side first because I seem to be more detail oriented in the beginning of my cuts. after a couple hundred blanks, you’ll figure out which is best for you.
Got some patterns that are made to sit your figure in a chair, boat, swing, etc,? I have seen hundreds of them standing but not sitting, or even laying on their side (in a hammock, bed, cot, etc.)
Bud Irwin The book on miniatures that I show in this video has a really nice small bald eagle. I’ve carved it once and had really good results until my cat knocked it off the top shelf and broke the legs.
Mark, I have a question. If you carve a piece from a pattern out of a book, and sell your carving on for example say Etsy can you get sued for copyright violation?
That is a great question. Hopefully in the book that has the pattern will see copyright free. As an artist I would change the pattern a bit anyways. I would be afraid to copy anything exactly. Disney has made examples of single production small artist to prove a point. I’m not a lawyer but be careful. I would just change it up a little bit.
This is what I struggle with most!! I can see what I want in the wood.. just can’t get the concept of carving and pulling it out. I love carving sooo much. I try not to get frustrated but sometimes I have to walk away for the day. I’ve been at it for a few years. Any more tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I’ve been carving for 40 years and I still get frustrated at times and walk away from it for a day or two. Try making a clay model first. Carve the clay with your wood carving knives just like you would a piece of wood, I hope this is helpful.

@Dominik Payton it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Great video!
Thank you, I appreciate that
Awesome Information
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Thanks for your helpful video . I am looking for whole human body patterns in various figures.
Round to the centerlines… very helpful
Thank you
I'm pretty dumb and this is way harder than I thought it would be. Very helpful video, subscribed
You’re way too hard on yourself. My first carvings were a disaster. Takes time and practice but you’ll get there.
Is it better to cut the front pattern or side pattern first and why?

Hopefully my latest video answers your questions.
Quite useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Your redtail is very good. I wish I could find a very detailed bald eagle that could be cut out with scroolsaw & carved.
