Thank you for these videos. My husband passed, unexpectedly, before he could even start a new project for our sons. The wood arrived the day after he passed and I know what he was planning in a general sense. I'm going to start and finish the project but I have a huge learning curve to overcome. These videos are a really big help!
Hey there. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Picking up a tool and continuing what your husband was going to do could be no higher honor. I am happy the videos will be here as a reference for you. I wish you the very best of luck. -Matt
I draw with charcoals and you're 100% right about confidence. In case it's still hard for people to have confidence in themselves, just use this little mind trick. Pick a project that looks extremely difficult that you'd be super proud of if you were able to do it and get to it. It's a win/win as long as you attempt a very difficult piece. If you don't do a perfect job, everyone will still be super impressed because they can see just how difficult it is and how well you still did. No one expected you to be able to do as good as you did. On the other hand, if you do a great job, you still win but then you'll see just what you're capable of and that project will become a keepsake you'll never part with.
There is something so wonderful and kind about the way you speak to everyone in your tutorials. You are a great teacher, thank you.
astonishingly simple yet sound advice, esp that last bit on confidence.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm just starting out and I get easily discouraged that I can't do a project so thanks for the encouragement and your videos.
It just takes time my friend, hang in there. Catch my livestream that was recorded and you will have a lot of foundation to build on.
Just getting started myself after past year I just want to be able to create from home . Mostly carved images , lettering, and small toys maybe rings. Im starting with Tacklife and small whittling kick. Unfortunately Tacklife has some form of power issue when holding up. An I was warned about dust as I'm working in small room (only room left 😅). I'm absolute beginner never really bought tools in my life unless you count paint and big hammer. So I've mostly been try to work on my rough sketches and get small whittling cuts down. Long winded way saying thank you be interested in future content. Good luck all beginners 🙏☮️
I really liked your last tip to “believe in yourself.” I just finished my first wood carving project - a Christmas present for my wife - and I was really skeptical if I would be able to do what I wanted to do, let alone finish it in time for Christmas. So I got my siblings in on the process and would send them pictures of my progress so they could help me stay motivated. I’m proud to say that I did finish it and I think it looks pretty good for my first project. I can’t wait to do more!
That is awesome Colton! Glad that you are getting into carving! You may have found a new hobby!
Ohhhh! Thank you!!! #1 Believe in Yourself!! I was talking to the owner of a gallery where I have sold many of my art pieces. He said to me: Start wood carving on your work. I said, "I don't know how." He said, "Learn how and start doing it. Why haven't you?" I said, "I'm afraid I'll cut my fingers (joking)." He said, "Get gloves. Start now." You inspired me! Thank you again!
Haha! Happy to hear you are getting into it! I’m glad you are finding the videos here helpful!
You are my current instructor as this is new territory for me. I appreciate your precise and clear instruction! I know there is lot of "bros" watching your videos but some ladies out here too.
Believing in your abilities is as powerful as knowing your limits. Having faith in yourself is how you overcome those limits. We are capable of so much more than we often realize. Good stuff, Matt!
So glad I found your channel! I'm planning a project for a wedding gift to my soon-to-be husband. He's great with tools, especially the dremel. I, however, have no experience. So I thought this project would surprise and impress him. Luckily a family friend of ours is gonna help and supervise me.
I really needed to hear the #1 mistake. I am easy to fall into those self-doubting moments. Thank you so much for your time, effort, and encouragement.
Hey Toni!! So glad to hear this! Be sure to join our FaceBook group, Wood Carvers of the World!
If you think you can't, you are probably right. Don't defeat yourself. And be humble.
Very good points and tips you are sharing. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it man! Good quote!
I don’t agree with that. I we lived like that no one would try anything new or challenging.
You, kind person, are delightful. I really appreciate that your number one tip is: Believe in yourself. I appreciate the way you informed us you were going to be vulnerable with us for a moment. I apologize if that last sentence is strange, but the lack of vulnerability that is displayed these days means more and more younger people and young adults do not really know what it means to be vulnerable or what that looks like. It takes much courage and strength to grant others' access to our hopes, dreams, insecurities, weaknesses and strengths. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! Keep making these amazing tutorials, and I'll be confident enough to transition from wood burning to carving in no time :)
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video!
All of your videos are extremely inspiring and informative! They've taught me so much even before I engaged in my 1st project! ..
Half way through now, I am having tremendous success , and can't believe what I'm seeing and doing thanks to you and your videos!!!
I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and skills with us !..
Unfortunately I am completely obsessed and addicted now, also thanks to you and your videos!!!! lol
Anthony

Right on man! So glad you are getting into powercarving!
Gotta respect a man that knows enough to teach. Thanks and stay safe bro🤙
Thanks for the confidence tips!! I’m trying to regain my confidence in life and it’s a daily effort
It’s an ongoing process my friend! Put the right things in and you will be reaping the rewards of it daily!

Thank you for your motivational comments and reassurances. I feel those negative feelings about everything I do but am able push through them in most intances. You have given me a positive boost to pick up my dremmel, my drawing pad, sit down at my sewing machine and serger, and do what I'm told I am good at.
Self-belief...so hard to acquire...foster...encourage...maintain, so once again thank you.
So glad the video helped you, Tracey!
This is great. I’m just trying to teach myself to use a Dremel to carve. Many thanks 😊
Great tips, especially for a beginner such as myself. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you found them helpful!
Thanks for that humble reminder
Thanks for the tips. I can't wait to see your next project. Merry Christmas hope you have a good one.
Merry Christmas to you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for the encouragement! I needed the part at the end. Thank you!
Very Encouraging all beginners. Very Nice of you. Great talent and Human touch.
I got a power carver today for Christmas and I came across your channel looking for tutorials great channel
Happy to hear that Henry! Good to have you there!
Thanks - your videos are excellent because you take people through step by step. 👍
Witam za pana sprawą, sam spróbowałem rzeźbić w drewnie. Dodam, że nigdy czegoś takiego wcześniej nie robiłem. Teraz odkryłem dzięki panu nowa pasję. Dziękuję bardzo i pozdrawiam🙂
Your #1 tip is so very true! I was tasked with building a large draw leaf dining table for my in-laws. I've never even heard of that style before and one thing I learned from that is take the project in steps and believe in your skills to build your confidence so you can build upon your existing skill set. I want to get started in carving and have been watching your videos to get an idea of what to expect and they have been very helpful and informative, this one especially.
Glad you have been enjoying them!
I'm about to start engraving and your videos are so awesome and helpful, thank you!
Glad they are helping my friend!
Matt,thank you for such wonderful videos, I enjoy them so much especially because I am a beginner.
Fantastic video thank you so much. Love your videos you have really helped me start out. Love carving now. I was told a tip once that "every project goes through an ugly stage". I used to give up at that point and feel a failure but that really helped me. Hope it helps someone else. Happy carving you crazy awesome people 🤪💝🌈
Just starting and I'm learning a lot from your vids! Thanks so much for helping us beginners out!
Glad they are helping you out!
Love the message of self-belief at the end. Great video 🏆
Thank you for your succinct and positive video...really enjoyed it😀
Thank you so much for this amazing video. Loved it. I am just a beginner and it does get overwhelming sometimes, so thanks!
I've watched several of your videos, and I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.This video, however, I think is the best. Why? Because you shared what you've learned, but most importantly, the last tip..."Believe in yourself" Those of us struggling to learn carving in general. And believing that we can do it. At 66, I strive everyday to learn everything about wood working, but more recently learning how to carve. Than you again for your videos.
Hey Mr. O’Connor! I really appreciate this comment sir! Thank you for your support on my channel and I’m very happy to hear you are learning something!
So glad I have found your tutorials. Thanks from Australia
Glad you are enjoying them!

Thank you brotherman that last thing you said really helped me out. I feel terrible before I even start it and that bad vibe last throughout the project. One day I'll be good as you! Thanks again man 👍🏻 your videos help the most out of all of em

Great vid, bro!
Interesting videos . I’m just beginning to carve.
I so believe in your number one of the Five Mistakes That Wood Carvers make as on a day if I am feeling not so confident that is when I will not produce a good carving however when I am feeling the confidence it seems I can just about carve anything.
You are a very well spoken instructor! Thanks for making these videos
Glad you like them, Victoria!
Last Tip was the best, thank you

Oh man, you helped me a lot with that lighting trick. I give you a subscribe, thanks!!!
Right on! Glad it helped you! Thanks for that bro!
Your a great instructor 💯💥
Great tips. Especially #1. I, like most, need to work on this one. Thanks for the pep talk my friend.
Hey Laurie! Glad that you enjoyed the video and got something from it!
Yes i liked #1 best. For me it is not a "I think I can't" but more a " I don't know how"!
So since i am semi retired and want to work with wood on all sorts of projects...i just don't know how, so videos made by Cornelius teach me the HOW! Back in the mid '70s girls were not allowed to take wood shop classes. Now that I am semi retired, i am teaching myself how to use wood crafting tools. Today my project to use a torch to make a rustic wooden USA flag. The only tool i am actually fearful of is the a Table Saw, the potential of kick back and i have seen first hand seasoned professionals run their hand/fingers over the table blade...is serious business.
Very useful bro... thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sound very useful tips, many thanks mate.
Glad it helped bro!
Hey man, Thank you so much. I started wood burning recently, and my latest project got me thinking about getting into wood carving as well. Your videos are a God send and I really appreciate it.

Hey Dominique! I appreciate you taking the time to write this. I am happy to hear about your creative journey. Keep up the great work!
Good info , I am killing it...Fun
Thank you for sharing bro😊

Lotting...
I was born in Tennessee, lived in North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina, and now Virginia. I have never heard “lotting” before. I actually thought you were talking about some carving technique when you said that. 😂 I was stumped until it dawned on me you were talking about the lights! I know we have our own distinct vocabulary here in the south but that was a new one! I love it truly!
I’m new to woodworking in general but just got a dremel 4300. I’m primarily interested in doing decorative inlays and possibly some minor furniture carving (small table legs, corbels , etc) and I’m unsure of what all I can do with the rotary alone. I like your videos and definitely look forward to seeing what else you have to share!
I hope you take what I said to be as light hearted as I meant it!
Hahaha! You’re fine, I get it all the time lol. It’s my thick Arkansas accent! So glad you found the video helpful! With what you are wanting to do I’d say a good rotary tool should serve you well! I’ll be here if you need any help! Just make sure you have good “lotting”! Haha
I'm from south as well. We do have our own way of talking.
Just love your videos!
Glad you like them!
Thank You !

Great tips! Just finished my first wood carving sign. That video will be out christmas night. How do you get more clean carves on soft wood? Was using new bur bits but still frayed the fibers but sanding got rid of it.
Glad you enjoyed it! A mixture of light passes with your flex shaft tool then multiple passes with sandpaper
Thanks a lott bro❤️
Thanks for all the info
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Advice, Thanks So Much and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you as well! Merry Christmas!
