- Here’s a video of my favorite bits and burrs for carving wood which I think everyone should have. These work for Dremels and any standard 1/8th inch rotary tool. They're not that expensive so I really think you should purchase them if you want to get into wood carving. Comment if you have any questions or recommendations! I’ll list the accessories and their time stamps below. Thanks for watching!

If you're looking for more wood carving designs and videos, I recommend watching the video where I carve a greek paddle with a Dremel 4300. I use Walnut, Poplar, and Epoxy! The epoxy was a hassle but came out really cool.
I apologize for the couple of points at which the video glitches, I tried several times to fix it and couldn't figure it out.
You really don't need to invest in a lot of tools to make something cool! Other than the initial purchase, making carvings with a Dremel is pretty budget-friendly, and you can make some really inexpensive gifts as long as you have the patience. Check out some gift ideas on my channel! Thanks for being here!

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.
I don’t even own a dremel I just watch these vids because they’re so calming and interesting
Thank you Jordan!
Jordan, get one! They are _great fun_ and you will find _many_ uses for it!
@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! 😁
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.
Thank you Joshuah! Glad it helped
I like the Tungsten carbide because they leave no mark!
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
This is gold. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing, Logan. Good info.
Thank you Shane!
Well explained. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
You videos are absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Thank you Vlad! More to come
Thank you for great visuals and explanation. Especially the tip on sandpapers!
Nice pieces you've got there !
Thank you so much Dee!
Loved it Sir ,thank you for your info on different burrs for carving. 🙏
Thank you Mahendra!
I am loving your videos! And that tip for the flat sanding disks is amazing!!
Thanks so much!
Great vid. This will be my shopping list when i buy my carving set
Thank you!
Thanks, that was a well-made and helpful video for demonstrating wood carving burrs. Best wishes
Thank you jay! Best wishes to you
super useful. thanks !
Thanks so much !
Great tip at the end there, thank you!👍🏼😎
Thank you! I'm happy you found it helpful.
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!
Great Content!
Thank you soldier
Wow thank you so much
My pleasure!
Thank you thank you thank you!❤
Thank you for watching!
loved this video! i thought the sanding disks were so clever!
Glad you like them! Thank you Natalie
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.
So cute.
Thank you!
Great video ❤
Thanks Hugh!
Thank you.
Thank you!
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! 😀
I thought this video was for that! But I also have a new video about bits if you want to check that out. Thank you for your support!
New subscriber. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate it
good video!
Thank you!
This was really helpful, I have been wanting to get those kutzall burrs .
Thank you! I really enjoy them, even though they are expensive.
You just gave me a great idea for laser cutting sand paper with my laser. Thank you!
That sounds super convenient - what laser do you have? Would love to get one
@@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.
bro the thans for watching was hilarious to me 😂 great video
Thanks - not sure why I said it like that haha
Good advice on making your own sandy thingy lol.. my b, I'm new to this and generally bad w nouns
Thank you!
thanks for this, really helped me with my first project.
Great to hear👍
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.
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! ✨
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! 🙌
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
Essas pontas são da dremel?
Quais as numeração delas?
Bro you misspelled Thanks XD , no really though, I love your work bro keep it up!
Thank you!
What would you use to cut and hollow out a 12 x 6 inch depression in a cedar log to make into a planter?
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!
And one time at band camp.....
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?
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
I’m starting to wood carve as a new hobby. What’s some tips?
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
Just kidding bud. Good video👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
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
@@LogsCarvingClub hey thanks. Better than nothing right.
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!
I have also used very very thin files in the past, like the Rockler mini needle file set
@@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!
What corded Dremel do you use? Looking to buy my first!
I use the 4300, but in my experience they less expensive ones are just as good
@@LogsCarvingClub what’s the difference between the dremel 4000 and 4300?
@@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
Yo,what rotary tool do you recommend for like 30 bucks?
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
@@LogsCarvingClub Yea because I am thinking of buying a Ryobi cht-40k witch comes with a flex shaft and some accessories and does go from 0-30,000 rpm
Otherwise what do you think
@@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
Do you wear mask while you carving? Not sure if I should worry about wood dust.
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
@@LogsCarvingClub Thanks for feedback
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.
