Kia ora, thanks for your teachings. I don't carve but ever since I stumbled across your channel I re-lash all my whanau and friends taonga. If I can't do it for them myself I always link them to your videos. Ngā mihi o te tau hou.
I'm glad I found your page quite a while ago; you've got the easiest to understand way of showing how to do all the steps and the material you work with has great character. I'm in BC and really enjoy using these techniques on our local nephrites. Thanks for all the help
Absolutely masterfully done ehoa ka mau te wehi tino rawe mahi,what an absolutely stunning putiputi pounamu now that is phenomenal Quality Marsden flower jade and amazing craftsmanship
Great stuff and an interesting change from the previous method, especially with the pull through method which seems much simpler now and avoids having too many threads flying around while doing the lashing. Will definitely try it on my next project!
@@CampbellCarving I mostly just really loved what you said about it preserving the wairua of the pounamu, so the idea of no hole caught my spirit a bit. But at the end of the day, you are the kaiwhakairo - I trust your judgement. :)
Kia ora Campbell. A really interesting evolution to your previous no-hole method, I'm really keen to try this on my next Toki. Beautiful Toki by the way, just stunning pattern and colour! And yeah, I love my Jobmate hobby vice!
@@CampbellCarving Thank you. I had to buy my roimata. I wanted to follow tradition but... Your Wairua roimata is fabulous. I may be making a purchase in a couple of weeks. ;) The Mossy toki, roimata, Mauri toki and Toki kaha are superb. I love even more than that!
Tried to find your contact . I don't do face book . Just wanted to say i really appreciate these vids and what you are doing , I'd starting carving agate as a practice before I moved onto pounamu and kind of taught myself but you have some great hints and tips , had no idea how to tie them . Managed to bind / lash a toki watching one of your videos . There was alot of pause play rewind , 6 hours later got there fingers cramping up , alot faster now . But could not have done it without your vid !! Would like to send you a carving as a thank you. Ka nui te mihi !
Mean as that's awesome the vids helped its what I wish I had. A cryptic answer for my contact. You can get me at my firstnamelastname no gaps or anything at g mail.com.
First of all, thank you so much for these videos. You are an excellent teacher. I am going to be able to complete my first Toki (and all future ones as well) because of you. My question is how can I use this approach, but produce a three strand braid instead of a four strand? The Toki I am making is a birthday gift for a petite woman. The four strand braid will be a little too thick for her taste, I’m afraid. Do I simply use two strands on one side and one on the other, when creating the lashing knot? Or is there a better solution? Thank you!
Good question, I think your idea is correct. My first video on this was with a three strand plait so you check that out, work out what works best for you. th-cam.com/video/BvzbQh-6IAw/w-d-xo.html
Kia ora Campbell, I've learned so much from your vids mate they have elevated my carving so much. Would it be possible for you to do a walkthrough of a hei matau carving? I'm finding it really hard to get the internal carving of the hook looking good. Many thanks mate keep it up!
Hi, and thanks. Natural cords are cool and authentic but have the major weakness of lower strength which you correctly asked about. Well they wear out faster at least, they may be strong at first. I use waxed polyester cord.
@@CampbellCarvingare you able to link us where you get your chord from? So we can get the same with the same thickness etc to follow this tutorial with ☺️🙏🏽 please thankyou amazing mahi appreciate you!!!
I use 1mm cord for this, can be hard to find some to start. I might have some offcuts I could pass on. Contact me through my website campbellcarving.co.nz.
I know I'm late to the party , do you have video on how to add a loop? Essentially when you're done lashing and all that, how does one manage a small hoop to run say a chain through it?
There is this technique studio.th-cam.com/users/videovcaBvsZS_hA/edit. I have been doing another way where it is all plaited recently I don't think I have made a video of it though I could do that if you wanted? You need to start with the loop first thought before putting the cord through the pendant.
I buy it from trademe, there are a few guys on the west coast that sell it too. Just got make connections. Contact me through my website perhaps if your looking?
Hey Campbell! As always, such amazing work. You’ve been a huge inspiration in my quest to learn to carve. Anyways, I had a quick question for you, what have you found is the easiest way to sand/finish the recessed areas around the wave? When I’ve tried to remove material to add depth, I struggle to finish the recessed area which means it’s left quite rough. Any help is hugely appreciated Seb
I use green silicon carbide sticks, I sharpen them to fit into small places, take my time with them to get the final finish, still learning on this though.
Which part did you want to see in real time? The sped up parts are all repetative parts that I had already shown I though or I have done in another video?

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. I like your stuff so much that your channel is the only one where I don’t skip ads LOL.
Wow good compliment, thank you.

Awesome, good to k ow that is the idea to be able to do these things ourselves rather than them being hidden in a draw
that turned out beautiful!! that TOKI was beautifilly carved on that choice color and pattern of stone
I loved it, awesome piece.

Hey, great to hear, tha ks for connecting

Totally agree with you on that point, this pull through is much simpler.
I'm picturing you doing this on the toki you'll be working on for me - makes me feel connected to the process :).
I was going to make it with a hole. Would you prefer it in this style without a hole?
@@CampbellCarving I mostly just really loved what you said about it preserving the wairua of the pounamu, so the idea of no hole caught my spirit a bit. But at the end of the day, you are the kaiwhakairo - I trust your judgement. :)

Always enjoy the teachings you give. Have helped in developing my own jade carvings.
Like the new workshop too!
Thanks

Totally agree.
I need to re-lash my Roimata. Your work is beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers! I hope you found what you need on my channel, let me know if not.

No worries, let me know if I can help anytime.

Cheers, will add it to the list, I have tried several ways so can show where I'm at with it.

SO nice, well done. Is this chord a natural fiber? Waxed cotton? flax? hemp? what is the strongest?

@@jasminesimpson218 @jasminesimpson218 just go to Caudwell.co.nz find 1mm waxed polyester thread there, it does come in big rolls though.
Mahalo for the vids bro!!! Couple questions-what size cord are you using for this, and how can l get pounamu pieces to start off? 🤙🏽‼️
I use 1mm cord for this, can be hard to find some to start. I might have some offcuts I could pass on. Contact me through my website campbellcarving.co.nz.
@@CampbellCarving cool! Someone gave me pounamu to start with as well it was a big help to get started!
Kia Ora! Love your videos - i was wondering if you could share a link of places where you purchase your diamond drill bits?
Hi, try richon tools online they have a some good stuff, I use 1.5mm spheres for most of my holes these days
@@CampbellCarving thanks! I’ll check them out!! Love your content !

excuse me where do u buy the Pounamu you use for your carvings?
recently found your channel love it!
