    If you see this, I'd like to say I've never seen a TH-cam crafter who used carving knives before. From a person with two sets of knives who's a beginning whittler herself-- OUT EFFING STANDING! I never considered using them for scatter terrain before and you've given me some ideas. Thanks a ton!

      @Nat1videos  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Four sarcophagi, and four columns, but the columns are not portraits, because they all look the same. Would you not have had more fun doing individual portraits? That's an advantage of carving over moulding - each piece of a set can be individual. Also, if the scenario led the PCs to be looking for the pillar of Haldruin the One-Eyed, then there could be more potential there. Good stuff, though. Tempted to have a go. The carving gloves look awkward to me. Perhaps they could make them to cover just the highest-at-risk bits of your hands.

    • @Nat1videos
      @Nat1videos  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      oh wow! Thanks for the comment Lindy :D .. Thats a good point actually! I guess I was keeping it as simple as possible just to show the techniques... the attached tutorial is for this specific face shape. You should definitely give it a go. To be honest I never really wear the gloves, but with youtube I often get comments from 'Health and safety" / "PPE" nerds. So just demonstrating it for people not used to handling knives. Thanks again for watching and the comment ;)

    Hey, that's a great idea, using the wood carving knives on foam. Probably easier than the Olfa for detail work. Nice job!

    • @Nat1videos
      @Nat1videos  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! Its a much sturdier blade, takes a lot longer to dull the blade and the blade is also a bit longer... also the shape of the handle is really nice to hold in various positions , so very useful for this kind of thing :D
