Simple Carving With Basic Tools
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- 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.

Any tips for new ppl sir someone who likes none power tools way and likes in depth work sir
Happy little trees. Nice Bob Ross reference. Loved the video and I gave it a thumbs up and subbed!
@@jakecarter2775 nope
“This will never be inside your skill until you give it a try” you are fantastic!
thanks!
i read your comment as "never inside your skull...", had me pause for a moment.
@@MrColophonius but it will be inside your skull
looking forward to making all my picture frames ornamental AF
you're not even going to do one
@@snekjuce weird comment, I finished one last week. Going to try out different designs for the next one. Found it hard to get the paper to stick to carve through it so had to mark the lines in with a knife but it came out great!
@@saraht855 you came out great
@@snekjuce tf is wrong with you, why do you want to spread negativity
@@saraht855 they deleted it because they noticed how shitty it was..whatever it was. Good luck! Curved carving tools are even better
It would have never occurred to me to attempt this with straight chisels. Thanks for the tip!
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.
Great video
Very talented will give it a try with power carver
Just found my moms old carving set and youre videos are already such a big help!! Sculpting has always seemed so fun and i can only imagine how cool it can be with wood!! Youre videos are really high quality and easy to understand and consume, i really appreciate that!!
I like your style, more people should make videos as informative as you. Very well done. You welcome newbies, and ease any second guessing they might have about stepping into a new skill
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.
congratulations
Something that doesn't take much time or much skill! I'm in!!!
This really broke it down in a way I could understand & makes me realize I don't need a big set, just 3 or 4 can get you pretty far actually... great instruction! New sub!🖖🏿😎👍🏿
"It'll never be inside your skills if you don't try it "... so true! Thank you...that's the kind of stuff to get an old guy inspired, love your work!
When I used to have time to play I would carve things to give away to friends. I never was never able to look at something I made without seeing the small flaws that either no one else could see, or that they were too kind to ever say anything. I never thought of trying to use them to get people to buy crap on Amazon so I could make a few pennies... I guess the motivation really does make a difference.
Ima be honest with you. We want hour long videos of you doing this with and without talking. Its hypnotic watching you work.
I actually did that a wile ago. It was a fun time in the shop.
This is the best video I’ve watched for starting to gain carving skills. Simple, easy to understand, and I can use the hand tools I have in my bag. Thanks James!
thanks Chris. glad I could help!
Awesome video
It is now 2021. There is no longer any such thing as scrap wood 😂
It's 2024 and it's still Hella expensive
I love that you do this. Celts, Danes, Egyptians--people everywhere like to add some flare. Because it looks cool, it's fun, and--y'know, why not?
Doing something like this is really help your mind set.. this is a big trash can that's let you put all your tress ...👍.. focus on something mean forget a lots of things..
There's something special about watching a master work at his craft. Beautiful
I bought a harbor freight carving set months ago. I never thought I'd be able to figure out how to get started with it until now. Thank you!
Its cool and raely
easy
Good to watch and easy to follow- I really don't understand how 81 people could dislike..what's to dislike?
I really enjoyed this. I'm a great fan of Mary, as well.
Very cool.
Great video, man! it's easy to understand and i really like how passionate you are when you talk. i still don't have money to try this lol, but i will watch this again when i can. thanks!
I'm preparing myself to start a carving project. Searched on youtube and the majority of the videos I found are of people using a CNC... thanks for the tutorial for someone who doesn't want (or can) invest in super expensive power tools. Cheers!
Awesome, just came across your channel…you are like the Bob Ross of engraving
Great stuff, thanks! Do like the jump in you can do it encouragement.
amazing, im about to start!!
Thank you for the vid!
Great video and you have a very good teaching voice. Makes me want to start wood carving. Greetings from Africa.
Liked how you start using an inexpensive Aldi chisel.
I just was gifted my late grandfather’s carving tools so I got a lot of cool tools I have no clue what to do with them can’t wait to learn from you
I am moved by the genuine enthusiasm in this video. It has empowered me to try carving sooner, rather than later; a miracle in motivation.
thanks dude great vid
Happy little trees, nice shout out to bob
I'm so grateful for you, thank you for this video! About to try this with my teenager, spending time carving and listening to audiobooks. 😊
You're like the Bob Ross of Woodworking
Here you go. czcams.com/video/akr6RzodDtk/video.html
Cool very helpful lots of fun and looks to meke
Nice Video, It help me so much
Just subscribed. I got a chisel set reciently gonna start practicing soon
Sweet. Looking forward to seeing what you make.
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!
Amazing
I a totally newbie and your encouragements were most needed , Thank you so much.! Much obliged.
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what you make.
Great, easy to follow and very encouraging - thankyou!!!
This dude is wholesome af damn
Thanks.
I think I can do this. You rock man! Thanks!
I am truly enthused by your positivity and skill - thank you! I will try and make something now!
I'm going to give this a try when I get a chance. I really like the looks of the Celtic knots.
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.
You make it so easy to pick up a tool and try doing it yourself! You're so encouraging and you de-mystify the subject, making it so accessible. I'm going to ask my neighbour for some of his scrap wood, dig out and sharpen the chisels, and get going! Thanks so much for this video 🤩
Looking forward to seeing what you make.
Perfect!!! thank you so much, i'm going to make my own indian retro style coffee table with carved design!!
now that sounds like fun! looking forward to seeing it!
This was a fantastic tutorial! Your voice was so soothing, the techniques were easy to understand and clear! I can't wait to start carving my walking stick!
one video and 20 min later i spent 230 euros on a carving set. thanks for that
Sorry. I have forgotten a few guys in trouble with their wives for that.
I like the Celtic weave, can't wait to try this.
Thanks!
You are the first person to send a thanks! that means a ton!
I really enjoyed your video, you are a super teacher, thank you.
Excellent, thank you for enabling cc!
Waaaahhh this is cool actually i just started collecting tools for wood csrving,, thanks for this vid and words
Great inspirational video James! Thank You!
I have always loved doing this. I said the same thing let your mind do the work. I never had a kit to do this only a pocket knife. But I just bought a full carving kit and can't wait to see where it leads me 😁. Oh and this was a very good video, going to start a weave and other carvings on a walking stick for my ole man for salmon fishing. Thanks 👍
LOVE the AXE!!!!!
The price of carving tools went up in the last year. They seem closer to 45. For what I paid 34 for in 2019. Hopefully they will come back down. Great video enjoyed. One thing I still buy 3 or more of them a year. Well worth it.
Most all the companies have several lines of carving tools and some are the high-end premium and some are the low end. And then it depends greatly on the actual tool Some of the gouges are far more expensive than some of the smaller tips.
Thank you, all blacksmiths should know how to do basic carving Just wasn't a skill I learned ... tell now
Great vid and tips! Thanks for the encouragement, I will try this on some leftover pallet wood.
Very helpful video James. Keep up the great work.
Very encouraging, thank you
What would be a good V Tool to start with; angle & size? 🤔...(I followed your link but the $46 tool did not indicate its angle or size). Thanks 😊
A nicely presented video on carving.
Thanks
James
Wow, I cannot thank you enough. I am about to start my first ever knife handle for a seax blade and I've been looking for ways to embellish it. As a novice wood carver with limited budget and tools, this is pure gold. Cheers to you good sir!
Good luck on your seax blade handle 🙏🏻
Great video James. Certainly helping me be more comfortable in adding carvings to my work.
That is my favorite pattern!
I'm a beginner carver I've started carving with a couple of knives and I'm also like chisels and you are giving some good looks on how or what to carve really cool
Thanks 👍
I'm a new subscriber after watching this video. I learned more from this video than any other routes to learning how to work with hand tools I've tried. Thanks!
thanks that means a lot. let me know if you ever have questions. we love to help otu.
Thank you, this was very well explained!
This is really gonna help me with my Viking/Celtic style Mandalorian armor. Very informative and answered the exact questions I had. Definitely going to subscribe
I rarely get excited but this time I certainly did, Thanks for making this great video ^^
Glad I could help.
Thanks for sharing your skills and motivation
This one was brilliant! I need to get into this. Thank you very much
Thank you so much, I now will do my own!
I am a custom knive maker and did similar work on knive handles.Started also with chisels,but use now a dremel tool with different rotating milling heads and its so much faster and so much more detailed,especially on smaller scale carvings.Thank you for showing from Portugal
I recently had a patient who was into spoon carving.
He brought me a sloyd, hook, and a piece of cherry to turn into a spoon.
After years of being interested in these things, that little push has me itching for more. Glad to have found your channel and looking forward to picking up some new tools!
Thank You!!! Looking forward to trying this!
Great video, thank you so much! I really enjoyed when you mentioned that something like this will never be within reach until you try it, it’s a great motivator to try getting started with a project like this. Watching this has made me decide that it’s probably a good time to sharpen up my tools and get started myself! You’ve more than earned my subscription sir, and I can’t wait to see what other projects you make videos about in the future. Best of luck! :)
Made some of that and it was very fun and looked very good.
Great tutorial thanks for sharing.
This video is so clear and easy to follow.
Very useful. I can now carve my initials into my wooden handle tools for security.
Hopefully they won't be stolen!
Great video that was fun and encouraging.
Thank you
I subscribed!

Looking forward to seeing what you make!
Very inspirational video, many thanks. Subscribed!
Thank you for all you do!!! I have been watching for many years now!!!! Thank you for the encouragement that you bring.
thanks! that means a lot. We will keep them coming!
I've always found hand carving daunting, but you made it seem super accessible. I'm gonna give it a go over the weekend and see what I can do. Thanks!
thanks! have fun with it. just be warned it is a deep rabbit hole to fall down.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks for the warning!
Really enjoyed that. Great channel.
This is perfect for where I'm starting. I am grateful for you sir. Maybe some day I can share my creations with where my learning started.
I have a logo design with all straight lines. Going to try this.
Sweet. Looking forward to seeing it!
