I am amazed with your videos. Trying to get back into carving after 10+ years. Even now as then I'm my worst critic.
@KevinCoates985 жыл бұрын
Thanks Marty, you know I have always been that way. Being my own worst critic. Never thinking my carvings were good enough. I finally gave up on thinking that way and just do it because I enjoy carving so much.

Now this is a great video.....it show that if you have the talent, which you obviously have, you can carve with just about any kind of knife. Thank you for sharing, I wouldn't mind seeing this piece finished.Btw I bet a few cuss words were used when you hit that thumb....OUCH!!!!!

doggylv Thanks. I'll get a photo on once I get the head cleaned up and on a body. I had a few choice words when I banged my thumb.

I have a really old homemade knife just like that, I've been carving since I was nine and I can hardly carve a tomato without cutting myself when I use it, It is crazy sharp. Wonderful display of craftsmanship.

sloanIrrigation thanks. The knife was originally used for filleting fish. I cut about 3" of the blade and turned it into a roughing knife. I'm working on what I hope is an easier video to follow.

This is the way I did it 17 or 18 years ago when I started. I still do it today. I guess old habits are hard to break. Besides that it takes some of the stress of my when I'm carving 7-8 hrs a day.
