Good job
Less talk and more work. We're not stupid! You don't have to explain every single little detail. First and last time viewer!
I hope Jack was armed because if those punks were there be another story being told here.
your giveaways are unfair as im in Australia. For example its 7:16pm in Newcastle NSW right now n its 3:16am in New York
I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.
As a retired teacher, I'm reminded of a phrase I used a lot: Errors are critical to learning. Thank you for posting your opportunity to learn! And congratulations to your family on your new arrival.
KNow whats better than learning from your mistakes? Being a genius and getting everything right at the first try.
Sounds like you were an inspired teacher. In 7th grade I had an art teacher ask in an annoyed voice, What's your problem? It wss impactful and not in a good way. As an adult I discovered I love making art.
15:13 You don’t suck at wood carving you have done way better then I did my first time, I impaled my hand with my tool the first time my doctor said I was very lucky that I didn’t hit any nerves or tendons. 😅 keep up the good work love your builds!!❤
damm. you got my luck. im re groing fingernails. not giving up though
All snakes are excellent swimmers. But this looks more like a sea monster because non aquatic snakes usually have their whole body on the surface of the water.
I've looked at some pictures of snakes swimming and they do have some of their body under the water.
Sea monsters are cooler anyways
Pythons and stuff can swim along riverbeds when crossing them, I think
This isn't quite accurate. Venomous snakes, like a Cottonmouth or Eastern Diamondback will have their whole body on top of the water, they float. Non-venomous snakes, however, such as the Northern Watersnake will only have their heads or front third of their body floating. The rest of their body will be submerged as they swim.
Snakes bodies are mainly muscle. Muscle isnt like fat and sinks rather than float. So a snake as big as an anaconda would sink
It's the self roasting at the end. This is how we know he is worthy. I'll be here for the next vids.
I'm just now getting into carving with Dremel bits myself. I learned a lot from this video! Thanks for trying and show us your "failures"
Failing is just an opportunity to learn.
And not to get too comfortable.
I applaud the attempt. It is always a good feeling to move out of the comfort zone and try something new. Practice, practice, practice, there are only a few who can do something right off the bat. There is a carver on youtube I have watch for a long time ( Stinnett Sticks ) who do a lot of snake walking canes/sticks. I have learned a lot about carving watching his videos. Might help if you ever want to try again. Have fun.
It's the Loch Ness Rattlesnake.
If you've ever seen a snake swim, pretty much the entire body is under the surface except for the head and maybe 2% of the body behind the head.
As a first carving item its amazingly good the more you do the better you will get please keep carving you have a talent for carving
Remember there's no mistakes only a new shape
You are so right! Making "ugly" things every once in a while teaches you the most! It is a joy to watch.
I've seen a lot of woodworking videos but I've never heard anyone say that they didn't like the end result. Thank you. It's hard work anyway, and natural material like wood varies in its constituency. It won't always turn out well, but the next one will probably be better.
Rattlesnake, thank you for showing us that you are able to do whatever you put your mind to. I think it came out looking amazing. Thank you for sharing. One love to all!
I admire you, and everyone else, who tries new things and shares the experience with others. Encouragement is almost always a good thing! My brother used to tell me life was a series of learning from mistakes, just don't repeat the same ones! Bless you!
I am so happy you posted this video. I have tried a few projects that never come out as i imagine and over time i can be frustrating watching a bunch of youtubers who havent been doing this stuff since birth succeed on every project. So its refreshing to see the goofs shown.
Btw this table is still 1000x better than anything i could carve lol
i agree. i am just starting. just got my first "palm sander" today. im 49 and dont no anything.
Even though it wasn't perfect, I'm sure you inspired a few people to try it themselves, which is awesome in itself.
Thanks for sharing.
I don't think it's that bad. Honestly an amazing first attempt, and way better than my first attempt at carving a dog lol. This has motivated me to get back to finishing a picture I was having trouble with (way out of my scope of knowledge).
I really enjoy the honesty in your videos, thank you!
Hahaha the rustic & unsightly like ur mum made me snort chicken noodle soup thru my nose 😂 Can always count on you JB for the best one liners & dirty innuendos! Makes you the best channel imo ❤
That was a great first effort. I look forward to your next carving video. It's not how many times we fall but how many times we get up!
You tried! More than some people do. I'm a maker & learn from my mistakes, what works & what doesn't. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Hey at least you tried! Thanks for sharing, we still all learnt something!
I found BM Sculptures a year ago and have always loved the sculptures he made and I think you did a really good job too! Definitely a lot better than I ever could! Would love to see you do more!!
Loved that last dig at Springsteen!! I agree whole heartedly…about him being a bad musical artist. For the carving, not a bad first attempt at all!!!
Holy crap you had me laughing at the end! The Springsteen line was both brutal and appropriate.
I'm going to give you kudos for the effort and taking on something completely our of your comfort zone. I can speak from experience; the one way to make sure you never fail is to not get into the game...of course, it's also the way to make sure you never win. I enjoy your content, can't wait for the next one.
It looks good, especially for your first go at it. I just started learning how to do leatherworking. I understand the struggle
leather working is very fun been doing it for abt a year and definitely learned so much
The Springsteen reference really made me laugh.
Guess we share some taste in music.😁❤
I really like this table. It may not be a Rembrandt, but it looks good. Thank you for sharing.
Youd be suprized how much added a little detail improves a project and when making any snake related carvings they never really look good until you get the scales in it.
I’ll say this, it’s a better snake and carving than I could make. I know for sure with time and many mock ups you can make a better snake table.
I learned to do crazy curves in sketchup but it took practice and patience to do it. I even made a sign recently, it’s simple and has many screw and nail holes from changes in the legs but it’s now to what I envisioned and it’s to practicality. You get there eventually it’s just a winding road of success and shotty work but you get there and every piece reminds you of the creativity journey.
A blessing to laugh at ourselves and at life!
... not to take things too seriously.
Razor rip wood burners work great for scales etc. I use the to texture feathers on birds. Lots of video of feather wood burning out there.
Do rattlesnakes swim? The short answer is yes, rattlesnakes can swim! And they're actually pretty good at it. These reptiles are strong swimmers and can move quickly through the water. They often use their swimming ability to escape from predators or to hunt for prey.
That turned out AWESOME!!! You definitely need to keep powering through because I can see a lot of awesome wood carving projects in your future!!😊
I can honestly say it's the best snake-coming-out-of-a-table carving I've ever seen. You might get some of those paper templates they make for people to learn whittling, but use them with your power tools instead and try that on scrap wood to get your mind around how to carve what you want into a piece of wood. I know you were trying to create your own with your print-outs here, but it helps to start with ones other people have already done before you move on to making your own.
Burn tool is great for details and the wire loop is great for scales.
You are so much fun to listen to! Love your collection of T-shirts. Great job 🪱🤗
Had a cool idea for the scales. How about cutting a design on your cnc and then essentially making it a veneer using your bandsaw and oscillating sander or dremel tool. Not sure how well that would work but definitely an idea for those of us with nonsteady hands.
little tip i saw from another woodworking youtuber, when trying to remove excess glue use a drinking straw and you can usually get it in one swipe.
It looks fine. I have issue trying to do shit I have experience in because I know I’m going to fuck it up. You not only gave it a shot but recorded it and post. You could have tried and lied about it later but you didn’t. That’s awesome.
Rattlesnake! This was very entertaining to watch. All woodworkers can learn from other people's mistakes too! 😅
Hey man, don’t worry about failing, most people forget that making hideous things is a huge part of making beautiful things
BRO you literly killed it man this is not no failure man this is near perfection!
Damn, couldn't figure out the easter egg.
Incredible work as always though. Definitely progress, but not far off from perfection! Keep it up.
🙏🙏
Rattlesnake! You got it a lot farther along than I could have! Nice work! BTW, just picked up a Festool domino this week... LIFE CHANGING!
Nice 🙌🙌
RATTLESNAKE
I checked while watching, Rattlesnakes ARE Swimmers. They swim to slither away from predators and to eat seafood when there's little to no land to prey on.
"don't be part of the problem, be the entire problem" ....best t-shirt saying ever
Some diamondback detail would make your rattlesnake so much more palatable, as well as a little motion-detecting recording of an actual rattlesnake rattle!
Kinda reminds me of the graboids tounge snake things from tremors lol. I love the ways you described it at the end 😂😂
Love how the tool ya use says YOUR MOM at the 4:20 mark 🤣
The Bruce Springsteen line is how I know you really weren't happy with the results, but I love that you embraced the suck and took it as a learning experience. Personally, my success to failure ratio in woodworking is likely the inverse of yours, so I won't throw any shade at all.
Up here in SD rattlesnakes cross the Missouri River regularly. Which is nearly 2 miles wide in some spots
Rattlesnake. I think you did a good job. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be fabulous. I love it.
There is a guy on youTube who carves walking sticks often with snakes on them. He uses a burning tool with a shield shaped attachment to burn in the scale of his snakes. You might look for him for future carvings.
I've been trying my hand at power carving now for a couple years..My problem is..I'm poor and Kutzall bits are super not cheap..So I have been improvising using sanging drims on my rotary tool..and smaller burrs..lol
Overall way better than what I would have done. Like you said you gotta take the failures and continue to improve on them if you want to get better at it. Oh,and that paper with the drawings is just the inner Marine in you coming out.
SFMF
You did a wonderful job with your first craving! Rattlesnake
I like it. Better than I could do for sure.
I think a super basic repeating diamond pattern carved through the India ink and a little scuffing of the India ink would’ve brought your snake up a couple grade levels, but hey, it’s your first animal carving, so…good job!
Glad you still posted it (btw you can just remove a snake, redo a top and you'll have a decent table)
Wow!!!! your'e not kidding What a crazy few weeks!!!! Hey when things are down the only way to go is UP!!!! Fantastic carving!
keep making man. love your work!
I love it. People never show their failures. I love to shoe my failures. It makes me better and proves that I'm not perfect. Not only do I learn from my failures but the keyboard warriors also give me advice on ways I could have done it better. Thank you for doing this. Looks good anyway. Great job
"My newborn infant daughter even told me it sucks."
This one made me laugh. 😂 Wood carving is tough, honesly. As someone whose only natural-born talent is art (mostly drawing), I've told so many people over the years that any kind of art is 100% attainable. It just takes practice and learning. That's the great thing about art. Some people get a shortcut with natural talent, but with patience and determination, everyone can get to the same end point. Failures really do provide the perfect learning experience when creating things. Then, you teach yourself better methods and perspectives, which leads to innovation and refinement. Everyone starts somewhere.
great effort! keep trying.and thank you for posting
You should watch some videos by Stinnett Sticks. They are not really tutorials, but more kind of just a quick go through of his process carving the most amazingly lifelike and beautiful snake (mostly) walking sticks. You will see an expert doing the detail work you struggled with and I think he lists the tools he uses. Then you could do a take two, and show your progress!
You get a subscribe from me! From one woodworking cop to another I appreciate your craft brother.
I appreciate that!
I think your doing awesome. I wanted to let you know they have some amazing Vinyl's you could cut them out then stick on his back.
Rattle snakes swim through sand too. Since it’s a desert creature that may be a way to describe it. It really cool and awesome either way.
Nah, it turned out great, Jonny! Fantastic work! 😃
But yeah, it's never easy to start to learn! And you chose a pretty difficult first step!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Curve legs 17.08. We all start somewhere. I'm teaching myself woodcarving. So far, I'm a beginner. So if you want to come down to Tecumseh, we can fail at carving together, lol. Oh and rattlesnake. I like the table.
I wanted to carve Hawaiian fishhook necklaces, had no idea what I was doing. First three sucked, fourth one was one of the coolest I had seen, fifth one was truly unique and amazing. It was fun, and I surprised myself. Do something hard, run the experiment. Life is way better than way.
Your rattlesnake table is awesome. If your wife won't let you keep it, I'll buy it. It is unique!
You learn by doing. Was this your "Mona Lisa"? No. But that doesn't make your drive worthless. You learn, grow, gain, every time you put yourself out there. Keep striving to perfect your art!
I think it looks great for your 1st go. Getting out of my comfort zone is my biggest issue.
I love this table !
I’ve heard of Black Mamba snakes but not a Black Rattlesnake, until now. I’m still confident that your carving looks better than what I a an do. My kids would ask, “Why did you carve turds into your table Dad?”. 😂
Hey you tried and that's what counts. You cannot get better at anything if you don't first try. Good job man.
That double pump by total boat is dope!
I might get me one!
Rattlesnake!
I’ve always wanted to carve as well but without trying it, I assume mine will look like Hellen Keller made it in the second grade. Great attempt, keep at it, thanks for sharing!
First time? I say it’s a win. Impressive beginning
Congratulations on your family's newest addition. Thank you for showing that all woodworking isn't as simple and perfit as most TH-cam Woodworker influencer's want you to believe. Old Saying," It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, fail; What counts is how many times you get back up, learn, and try again. Rattlesnake
4:23 😂 YOUR MOM. I mean I never know what the Easter egg is and I’ve never tried to find it but I saw this and it cracked me up. 🤣🤣🤣
Also, RATTLESNAKE. And it isn’t bad like you think it is. It’s the fact that you tried something new that’s bad ass. Plus I’m pretty sure someone would pay for your table. 😊 Congrats on your daughter and how did I not know you’re a retired LEO? My husband just retired in Jan. ❤
Rattlesnake. Didn’t spot the Easter egg as hard as I tried lmao. Great effort considering the No experience, I’d have failed much harder. I’m currently in the process of transforming a huge bed surround I made to protect my autistic son from hurting himself when lashing out in bed, into a 2 level playzone since he no longer needs the surround and he needs more space to escape to. So I am in the same “doing what I can with the knowledge I have” situation! It’d be a lot better looking if I had the space, tools and time to do it alone but that’s life, he’ll still love it!
Not bad. As someone who has never wood carved ever I think part of the look issue was its back came out of the “water” too high. And I feel like it’s tail would sit flat on the surface
Rattlesnake also, the Helen Keller joke killed me lol😂😂😂
Great courage and awesome you just went for it ! Enjoyed your video very much! Look forward to watching more !
You're conflating art as a form of expression and art as a professional skill. You absolutely are an artist in terms of expression, if you're creativity in form and material choices are too mechanical for you to accept the term there, your videos alone are fantastic examples of expression. However... DON'T YOU LIE TO ME! "I'm not a skilled artist", your ability to see the form inside the rough block is legitimately impressive, even if you don't have experience with the tools.
I appreciate this "rattlesnake" table for the lesson for me. Just getting into wood working and I watch you and Cam out in Portland and think I can never do that. My first epoxy pour was a disaster so I am glad I am not the only one who can mess things up. Learn and move on.
You know I am glad I watched this video....I was afraid to step outside of my comfort zone in being creative, happy to say the attempt and progress are far better rewarding than not trying
“Now i’m not an artist,”
*continues to create art*
Thank you for posting this, you are being real...you do more good being honest and vulnerable, i know you weren't trying to be preachy and I honestly got so much encouragement in my journey. first video I've watched, im a fan for life.
Jonny and Bruce: a match made in heaven. Rattlesnake, Jonny - _rattlesnake._
For a first time carving you have done remarkably well.
something missing from the internet as a whole, being able to laugh at yourself when things do not go as expected
Rattlesnake at the end. That was cute, back when I taught technology education in high school in Oklahoma one of our classes the design element was to design a car out of a boss walk like the fired with seal to cartridge I don't know whether you've seen them or not, anyway one of my kids brought in one day that the whole car was two snakes (and the snakes looked real) crawling out of rock and then winding together down the front of the car for the front wheel were. Surprisingly it was really fast we took first in the state and he won the state championship then I came in fourth in the nationals
I think you did well and maybe using a wood burning nib would have been a good go to for the scales
I like it. The top looks good the base looks good and I like how you offset it. But the snake looks more like a swimmer than a rattler
You had me with all of those right up until Springsteen.
There's no way that table is as bad at being a snake table as he is at singing. It's at least 38% better than that.
It kind of sucks, maybe. A little. But for a first effort it isn't completely terrible.
It's no "Born in the USA", is what I'm trying to say.
Congratulations on the new baby. Very cool.
