    Definitely try again, I was apprehensive about how this one was going to turn out because sculpting is really a different skill set than woodworking, but y'all managed to pull off a great 1st attempt.

    • @Hellsong89
      @Hellsong89 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, though might try to have foresight to design the material usage little better. Could have just cut that front peace in 45degree and save some material. Since exotic woods around here are really expensive i hate to see even tiny peace go to waste and i mean tiny. I could use just under a inc off cuts in my projects to make it pop, but walnut here is hella expensive. Closest thing to exotic is northern juniper and with massive luck some white oak, but cant really get anything with color and yes i know staining is a thing, but that is not the same.

    • @bebophippie1781

  • @jeffharvey8283
    @jeffharvey8283 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I think your first try was awesome, and we all know you learn so much after each attempt. As an artist, what I think would help a lot is the prep work. Draw a rough look of the whole shark, and then draw a straight line across to represent where the table top would be, that way you aren't guessing at sizes or anything because you have the whole shark drawn in proportion to start. That would help a ton with the flow of the whole piece. Then from there your awesome woodworking skills take over.

  • @OldManLondre
    @OldManLondre ปีที่แล้ว +71

    Super cool! One suggestion if you do this again: make the teeth separately and then glue them in place after you’ve carved the sharks mouth - this should give you more space to work in the mouth and allow you to carve the teeth more carefully.

    • @michaelrice6315
      @michaelrice6315 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel like making the raw shape before it goes on, including the 2 piece head (upper and lower jaw) would make this much cleaner. Though I love the way he worked the walnut grain in to it.

    Looks really cool. So awesome to see you tackle a new method and just go for it. Obviously, there is room for improvement, but that was pretty freaking good! I'd love to see you do something like this again, but combine it with some of your resin pour skills. I think a river table with a giant Anaconda or Crock coming out of it would be pretty amazing. Might even make an epic collab with The Dow. He does the animal, you build out the table with the resin pour around the carving. As always, thanks for the great content!

    #1, do you art at all! You don't carve because you're a wood worker, it's because you're an artist and you've accumulated skills through many years of hard work. Welcome to art my friend! Good luck, you now feel how every artist feels every day, disappointed but excited to try again!

    Looks great for a first attempt. I think you should go bigger next time. I would have thought it would be a little easier with a bigger piece as the smaller details like the teeth wouldn't be as tiny to carve. Great work though loved this video!

  • @ShrikeZeta

    turned out really well hope to see more carving soon.
    on that note I carve aswell and one of my favourite tools is the triton super jaws, it makes manipulating the piece sooo much easier also made larger custom jaws for it
    should also take a look at manpa tools they have some amazing power carving tools that might tickle your fancy.

  • @jasonhardin8383
    @jasonhardin8383 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely should try this again. I would also recommend cutting the rough shape on the blocks not attached to the table. You could then use silicone to pour around the rough shapes in an enclosure so you have a complete flat surface to clamp down on. The silicone may compress a bit requiring more force to be applied, though in theory, should still work. Test in small scale before committing to a large piece.

  • @spicydragon3881
    @spicydragon3881 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would definitely try again. Your first go at anything is always your roughest. You now know your strengths and weaknesses and will learn from the mistakes made here. Every piece will be better than the last. Definitely go for it.

  • @matthewryan8463
    @matthewryan8463 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Looked great - I particularly loved how charring the 'waves' around it came out, that looked awesome. A couple minor critiques if you try again, the lower jaw looked a bit too much of an underbite, and maybe some more rounding at the back of the head where it comes out of the water or something, felt a little too squared off (that's also where adjusting the proportions will help too, I think).
    As far as catching the teeth on fire - maybe not that, but possibly adding some charring inside to darken it up for that "razors that rip you to shreds before you disappear down a dark gullet" look could be cool ;)

  • @jasonlewis3620

    Good job for a first try for sure! There is a pretty wide gap between the artistry of a woodworker and a sculptor and you should be proud of the outcome. I watch a bunch of makers who carve crazy stuff from XPS foam and maybe that would be good medium to practice in before tackling another project in wood. It's cheap and carves easier and might help you improve your technique with 3D stuff like this.

  • @nafy118
    @nafy118 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Absolutely try this again, you were sooooo close to nailing it but the head was just not quite to scale and those lower teeth either needed moving back or removed entirely! Though saying this they might have worked with a larger head. To clarify, no, i can't do better, but as a marine biologist with a liking for wood working those are the bits that stood out to me.

    As a wood carver myself, my best advice/suggestion for another project would be to start with something more simple like a squid. It might help with your perception of dimension and organic shapes with carving since it's just a series of cones/tubes so it should be far more simple. Maybe you could add a little wooden ship and make it the Kraken for shits and giggles lol

    I think you should absolutely do it again but have him come and do a collaboration.

    Do it again for sure! This was a ton of fun to watch. Just remember that the scale of the shark is very much set by the size and location of the eyes. Making them as big as you did makes the shark seem small or juvenile.

    Nicely done man! Trying something new and killing it! I love carving in the round but you have given me ideas to try something like this as well!

    “I don’t have a clue what I’m doing but we’re doing it” sounds exactly like me doing anything for the first time

    Process modification: Glue up blocks, sketch on blocks, bandsaw to rough shape, glue to table surface. Just putting it out there. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but the time savings in shaping are definitely there.

    Even if the piece had ended up a complete disaster, the video deserves a like for the sheer amount of work that's gone into it

    You gotta do it again! You did a great job considering you have such little carving experience.
    As a sculpter and wood carver tbh the simpler the shape the harder it is sometimes because everything has to be perfectly in scale or its very noticeable. When you add tons of details, if something is a little bit out here or there, it's harder to see because the shape is more irregular. Just my two cents!

      I agree. a beginner should always start with a fantasy creature as there are no "set rules". he should also have started with way more wood, he was so scared of carving anything away at all. that piece on the shark's cheek was bothering me the whole time
