That's just terrific... a really classic effect. I inherited a set of good quality carving tools from my dad, who had started geometric chip carving and also made a few decent looking ducks, and sign carving has been on my to-do list ever since, so this is an inspiring and helpful tutorial. Cheers!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Very interesting to see that it is possible to do this kind of carving with a knife. I always thought that cisels are necessary for that.

Thanks for the great demonstration and explanations. Much cheaper than a CNC too. 😊

Thanks Steve, this is a great video. I'm inclined to make an investment in a good one of these knives. Glad someone asked about the hardwood, I'm hoping to practice on a pallet. Really sweet that you carved all those dates for your family, too. Hope it's as relaxing as it looks.

Hardwood is actually easier to cut than softwood. As far as pallet wood, the wood is not labeled so it is often a guess as to what it is. Since it is free, if you mess something up you can simply toss it into your fireplace or barbecue.

Hi! New to your channel but I love this video! I want to make a very extensive carving along a banister in my house and this is the first video that came up. Where can I get this exact knife, how do I sharpen it, and what else can you share to help me have a successful carving? Thanks again!

What kind of blade do you use

@jphoffman1 5 жыл бұрын

You mentioned rubber cement to adhere the paper? What type? The only stuff I’m familiar with comes in a bottle with applicator and is very gooey! Can’t be the same stuff can it? What brand? Thanks.

@claudb1029 5 жыл бұрын

Rubber cement can be bought in any art supply store. I would test it on an obscure spot before sticking a pattern onto a finished cabinet. You want to be certain the solvent in the glue will not damage the cabinet finish.

At last, someone who teaches properly instead of showing off. I would like to see how to do this using a Dremel too.

is there any way to use a poket knife of the same sharpness? i cant afford the tools you use, but still want to try

@baileylineroad 6 жыл бұрын

Good Morning! Yes, you could use a pocket knife, but it would need to be very sharp. As sharp as a razor blade. Ideally you'd want to reshape the blade a bit, too. The main knife you'd need only costs $25 and it would last you a lifetime. Thanks for watching. Steve

@GrimTheguy 6 жыл бұрын

the knife itself costs more than the entire project im working on, and where could i buy the proper knife? that way i can purchase it next month

@baileylineroad 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Again! Yes, the knife might cost more than the particular project you're working on, but the knife will work for you for a lifetime. I buy my stuff at Lee Valley Tools. Here's a link to a knife that'll do well for you. Item A is the one I'd buy: www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=49714&cat=1,130,43332,43393 Take care, Steve P.S. What are you carving?

@GrimTheguy 6 жыл бұрын

I'm carving the words "the reasons I love you" into a wood panel and making a notebook and filling it with reasons to present to my love as a way of asking them to marry me, ring in the back of the book. after 6 years, I should probably do something more original than taking a knee, which is a little hard in a wheelchair anyway. thank you for the link!

@baileylineroad 6 жыл бұрын

Well, that sounds like a great reason to carve! I'd like to give you your first wedding present. May I send you that carving knife I sent you the link for? I'd be happy to buy it for you and ship it your way. I also have a video ebook I made and sell on sharpening tools. You'll definitely need to know how to sharpen. Just drop me a note at steve@stevemaxwell.ca if you're okay with me sending you these things. Take care, Steve

Do you need a lot of experience in wood carving to pull this off?

@carmonacrafts1972 6 жыл бұрын

Justin Why? No you don't I've only been wood carving for about 2 years and I'm sure I can pull this job off like he said just takes some basic knowledge about carving and a very sharp knife precision and patience

*With a name like Maxwell, despite being Anglicised, you should use a Celtic font.* My name is Charles Nickolas Thomas and I've a wife, Susan Lorraine, lol, that's only the craic, but I could't resist. Using a print over, is a very good idea, cheers.

Odd, I was just wondering today what the name Maximillian means. Thanks for reminding me to look it up.

@hitewakeasllielimsolls8443 6 жыл бұрын

I'll guess it's Latin. Most European languages are now, since their Empires trampled over Ancient Europe.

May someone do this work be in hardwood?

@baileylineroad 6 жыл бұрын

Hello Andrei! Technically speaking, basswood is a hardwood because the tree has leaves, not needles. That said, basswood is not all that hard. You can carve letters in harder woods such as maple or oak or ash. Cherry and walnut are hardwoods too, and easier to carve than some others. You might enjoy the articles, videos and tool giveaways on my website. Drop by for a visit some time: baileylineroad.com Bye for now, Steve
