@jordanfranck, That's usually how it starts...but eventually, you won't be able to "just watch" anymore, you'll start jonesin' to try yourself and before you know it you'll be a carving fool/addict like the rest of us. LOL! 😁
Yo, just bought a Dremel and I’m a nerd, so I read manuals. I noticed you were using the Dremel Chuck with the 561 bit. Just a heads up, the manual has a danger warning for using the Dremel Chuck with the router bits, they can fly off if you don’t use the collet and collet nut instead. Love ya, peace.
Thanks for going through and showing the bits up close. I just started wood carving about 2 months ago and I have no idea what I'm doing or what bit does what. So Thanks for making this video. It helped me out a lot.
Hey, beautiful bear. I hope to try carving (again) this winter.. you make it look easy, but I know better. Ill be practicing anyway. Thanks for the tips. This inspires me to try again!
Thanks for the comment! You could always start with quickly carving a soft wood like basswood just to confirm the dimensions, then move onto a nicer hardwood for the final piece. I often wish I did that
I wanted to thank you so much for your dremel videos and guides man, seriously I had no idea where to start with bit names and technique. You’ve genuinely helped me so much with getting into this hobby and I appreciate it a lot. You put a lot of effort into your videos and into the information you give us and man I’m just super thankful to have come across your channel. Love your content man 🙌
Thank you! I got a kit for my birthday last week and trial and error is great and all, but this is exactly what I needed. I hope you have more "bite sized bit tip tips"
I have plenty scattered throughout the channel, but I’ll probably make an updated version of this video that has more bits included this summer. Glad it helped! Also, happy late birthday!
@@LogsCarvingClub what do you want to do with it? Key points would be size of things you want to work on and how thick you might want to cut. Also, what materials: wood/paper/leather type things, or engraving on different metals, too. For the latter, you need a different laser.
Awesome vid! Very in depth! Keep the vids coming! I have the Dremel 8250. Learning & soon ready to purchase the burrs I need to begin. Your vid is such great help! Do you have a vid of the carving burrs needed for a newbie to begin? TY! 😀
Thanks for the content! Just finished a ring for my gf as the first thing made with my new Dremel. Can you make a video about different types of wood; or wich one you prefer & recommend? Keep it up! ✨
If you heat up the back of that particular sand paper it activates it own glue. It gets pretty sticky I don’t know if it would as well as the regular glue.
Honestly that sounds like really heavy work for a regular dremel. Could definitely be done if the woods soft enough (maybe with the kutzall burr), but also the angles would be tough so a spherical & aggressive burr may work better. Either way it’s probably gonna take a long time so make sure to not overheat the tool. I might look into an angle grinder with a shaping dish but I have no experience with those so don’t take my word for it. Good luck!
Depends on the project - the Dremel lite has pretty minimal power and battery life so I wouldn’t use it for the animal carvings I do, but I’ve used it for small things like pendants and engravings
If I don't have the 561 or 562, can I use the drill bit to cut? I tried this and it came flying out, but I looked up this issue and found that I may have just been pressing too hard, or not cleaning out the wood buildup from the chuck enough... but cant really find anything about if i can use them to carve . .thanks. Also it's a brand new dremel.
If it’s the drill bit I’m thinking of I really wouldn’t… doesn’t seem sharp enough on the edges to cut on its sides. A 561 individually at a hardware store is probably around $5 and the 562 maybe $10-13. I think they’ll be well worth it
Okay thanks. I intend to buy a 561. But, maybe I can just drill enough holes with the drill bit to cut the wood, instead of cut on its side, in the meantime?
@@mandyzwicker5140 That’s funny - my first woodworking project was a sword and I “cut” the handle out that way since all I had was a power drill, then I hit it with a hammer to remove the chunk I wanted and evened it out with a folding knife. It worked but took forever
I have a few videos that would be helpful, like how to use a dremel or tutorials on how to make wood spirits. Feel free to check them out! Too many tips to type
@@paytodecay9400 I used to have the 4000, I believe they’re basically identical but the 4300 is a newer version so it looks a little different and they discontinued the 4000
Absolutely - you should wear a quality dust mask whenever you are exposed to dust. Wood dust, among the other dusts you could kick up with the dremel are pretty dangerous over time
Hi - that’s tough to answer cause usually less expensive ones would be less powerful, like a dremel lite, which is fine for small things but I’m not sure what you want to do with it. I haven’t gotten around to trying the powerful off-brand ones
@@pxel1876 I think it’s probably fine! I just can’t really say cause I haven’t tried it, but I doubt it’d be much different. Only so many ways to spin something
Very helpful video, thanks for posting! One question, please: What do you use to sand/smooth out areas that are super tiny/narrow where even the smallest sanding drum does not fit? I picked up some sanding sticks but they can be difficult to use and more often than not, do not provide the smooth finish I an going for. I'm talking about carvings or markings where the 407 sanding disk is to wide and/or too rigid to fit. Again, thanks for posting! 👌👍
Great question! I’ve struggled a lot there. Usually in the teeny tiny spots I’ll use a grinding stone like the 84922 to buff it out, and then hand-sand it if I can, but the finish won’t be as good as using a sander. Hopefully that helps!
@@LogsCarvingClub OK, thanks! I'll try a stone the next project. And, THANKS for replying so quickly...wow, you are on top of things! Thanks again for the tip!
I think the reason u forgot the K on the word THANKS is because while your engraving the N your thinking about the K, so when your done with the N u thought u just finished the K an went straight to the S😄

Thanks for subbing! I appreciate it
Loved it Sir ,thank you for your info on different burrs for carving. 🙏
Thank you Mahendra!
Great tip at the end there, thank you!👍🏼😎
Thank you! I'm happy you found it helpful.
I just bought all these bits - your channel is really helpful….thank you!
I am loving your videos! And that tip for the flat sanding disks is amazing!!
Thanks so much!
very nice tools to have just bought a small set of carbide burrs
Great vid. This will be my shopping list when i buy my carving set
Thank you!
bro the thans for watching was hilarious to me 😂 great video
Thanks - not sure why I said it like that haha
loved this video! i thought the sanding disks were so clever!
Glad you like them! Thank you Natalie
Thanks, that was a well-made and helpful video for demonstrating wood carving burrs. Best wishes
Thank you jay! Best wishes to you
Thans for this video, I'm just about to get into power carving & you gave me a good idea of which bits I will need.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for great visuals and explanation. Especially the tip on sandpapers!
Nice pieces you've got there !

I actually have one! It was posted a few months ago. Great job on a ring!
@@LogsCarvingClub Oh, damn, you're right. Totally missed that - thanks! 🙌
I like the Tungsten carbide because they leave no mark!
First thank you for the video. If you are brand new to this type of carving. What video of yours would you watch first? Thank you again
Maybe first the How to Use a Dremel video and then the cat carving one, most are pretty simple to follow along with
If you heat up the back of that particular sand paper it activates it own glue. It gets pretty sticky I don’t know if it would as well as the regular glue.
What would you use to cut and hollow out a 12 x 6 inch depression in a cedar log to make into a planter?

Hi. Want to start wood carving.. want to invest in a Dremel lite 7760 and not more. Will it do just fine or you think i Better to go for 8820?
