Still loving your videos Matt, but I have to tell you my best friend (my granddaughter) is fascinated by your accent. She insist your name is Mit. 😂 She'll learn. 👍
Thanks Matt I'm watching all your videos , then I'm off to buy some kit. I'm thinking a Dremel 3000 with the burrs you recommended and a Dremel woodcarver set should do it. Looking forward to my first attempt 🤞
@@MattCarves Thank you Matt I will have a look at the 4000 ,the flex shaft makes sense I was going to get one so if in a kit probably make sense. Thanks
Have you considered testing your wood carving skills by carving the Eye of Agamotto from Marvel? It's a unique and intricate design that would showcase your talents. Some specific wood carving techniques you may find helpful for carving the Eye of Agamotto include: Relief carving: This is a technique where you carve away the background around a design to create a raised image. The Eye of Agamotto has a lot of relief carving, so this technique will be important. Chip carving: This is a technique where you use a small chisel or knife to remove small chips of wood to create a design. This technique could be useful for creating some of the smaller details in the Eye of Agamotto. Incised carving: This is a technique where you carve lines into the wood to create a design. You could use this technique to create some of the intricate details in the Eye of Agamotto. P.S I've always wanted to create a piece like this but I don't have the time nor the skill; only the knowledge
Cheers Luke, I'm not familiar with that eye of agamatto but just checked it out and it certainly looks like a challenge but an awesome on. Thanks and have a great day
Hi. I just discovered your channel. I really like your creations, too. Thanks for sharing and teaching. Can you please share what type of color dye/stain you use on the gnome's cap? Thanks, Matt.
Welcome to the channel 😊. That is spirit based wood dye from briwax. You can see the bottle in this video towards the end. czcams.com/video/H8aPkZMF1xM/video.htmlsi=RAHFyGlWHQvqj5S_
Thanks. That whale and wave are spectacular! I guess the briwax dye is not sold here in the USA. I'm going to use Transtint dyes instead. They are alcohol based@@MattCarves
Hi. I just found a great deal at CraftSupplies USA. I got 7 1.8 oz bottles plus shipping for $29 U.S.. The dyes are premixed using alcohol. Great deal ending 8/ 828.
Hello from Auckland. What's the wood you're using here? I'm currently doing a wooden puppet making course and struggling trying to locate good carving wood. They use lime/linden/basswood. I might need to have a go at your little marionette some time.
Cool, I would say they are the T shaped burrs. Have a look in the description of this video. I list them also inverted cone shaped burrs are good to. They are pretty cheap too. czcams.com/video/lqh0l1aIi_g/video.html
New to your channel. Love how you explain and the process. Thanks.
Cheers for the feedback. And thanks for watching 👍
Nice video Matt. I firmly believe too in using the bandsaw as a helper in getting rid of some of the big stuff.
Yeah The bandsaw is awesome for that. Especially on harder woods.
These are so fun. I love it.
Thank you Linda, yes they are fun. 👍

That's a lot of videos. I would recommend getting the dremel 4000 a kit with the flex shaft in it. If you can.

That's macrocarpa. So pretty easy to get here in NZ. Yeah would be nice to have those carving woods here.
Question: what is the number for the flat bit you use?
Not sure which one you mean. Could you give me the time it appears in the video? Cheers
@@MattCarves you used it to carve eyes. It was in a short video. Your work is outstanding!
