  • Carving is easier then it looks. with jsut simple bench chisels, anyone can start learning how to carve. A Celtic weave is a great place for a beginner carving. you can make it simple lines or you can take it deeper and do more. Today we will be using basic tools. bench chisels and a couple gouges. this is basic woodworking tools just like Uri Tuchman would do it... but different.

  • @machfiver753
    @machfiver753 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    There's a couple things I've noticed that are rarely covered. One is with moisture content of the wood. Dried out wood is way harder to carve and certain woods makes it easier to have tearout and folded broken grain no matter how sharp your tools are. Yet green wood can crack up but is easy to carve. I've found that dried wood that I then leave out in the rain a while then carve once it doesn't feel wet anymore is best. The other is the types of wood to use. I've seen people carve wood that definitely isn't basswood yet carves like it is. I've bought yellow cedar lumber that is terrible to carve yet yellow cedar is what Native Indians carve with. I find carving hardwoods is better than softwoods especially with tearout and bits breaking off accidentally.

    My father taught me the leaves,flowers,eagle feet and peacock design. As a 15 years old it's not easy it takes a month or even a year of practicing.This pandemic I am now practicing in how to cleaning the area of the wood with basic tool and it's hard if someone that are not willing to teach you but my father gave me a lot of technique to make it easier.

    This video changed my whole attitude about carving. You are great at teaching! (I subscribed immediately.)
    I used to carve ivory as a jeweler, with a Foredom, and I loved it, but I left that skill behind years ago when I got out of the jewelry business. I've been wondering if it would apply to carving wood, since I'm now in possession of exotic wood scraps that I would like to make things out of. Watching this got me excited- which is exactly the feeling I had back when I first started carving fossil walrus tusks.
    Thank you so much for your clear teaching and attitude. Looking forward to watching your other videos!

    What a great video. I work with great colleagues in our local Men's Shed here in Dublin, Ireland. A lot of our projects like buddy benches for local schools, flower planters, so we're mainly wood working based. I've learnt so much since our shed started [2015]. Since we've an additional sheltered workspace I hoped we would expanded into arts & crafts. I've followed a few tube vids on carving and I reckon this is a line to follow and who knows other will learn just like me. Love Celtic knot work....this is my heritage

    If you live near one, stop by a Harbor Freight, they have a couple of fairly simple chisle sets, pieces of which I still use 6 years later, they're excellent for beginners.
    Also, I never could figure out what to use that V chisle for, so THANK YOU, oh my gods I've just had it sitting on a tiny frame like an oddity.
