I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine kzfaq.infoUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

@nickwilliams309 10 ай бұрын

This isn't quite accurate. Venomous snakes, like a Cottonmouth or Eastern Diamondback will have their whole body on top of the water, they float. Non-venomous snakes, however, such as the Northern Watersnake will only have their heads or front third of their body floating. The rest of their body will be submerged as they swim.

@Kingkee777 10 ай бұрын

Snakes bodies are mainly muscle. Muscle isnt like fat and sinks rather than float. So a snake as big as an anaconda would sink

There is a carver on youtube I have watch for a long time ( Stinnett Sticks ) who do a lot of snake walking canes/sticks. I have learned a lot about carving watching his videos. Might help if you ever want to try again. Have fun.

I’ll say this, it’s a better snake and carving than I could make. I know for sure with time and many mock ups you can make a better snake table. I learned to do crazy curves in sketchup but it took practice and patience to do it. I even made a sign recently, it’s simple and has many screw and nail holes from changes in the legs but it’s now to what I envisioned and it’s to practicality. You get there eventually it’s just a winding road of success and shotty work but you get there and every piece reminds you of the creativity journey.

I can honestly say it's the best snake-coming-out-of-a-table carving I've ever seen. You might get some of those paper templates they make for people to learn whittling, but use them with your power tools instead and try that on scrap wood to get your mind around how to carve what you want into a piece of wood. I know you were trying to create your own with your print-outs here, but it helps to start with ones other people have already done before you move on to making your own.

Had a cool idea for the scales. How about cutting a design on your cnc and then essentially making it a veneer using your bandsaw and oscillating sander or dremel tool. Not sure how well that would work but definitely an idea for those of us with nonsteady hands.

First: thank you for your service. Second: the first time I carved a little bear, it turned out looking like a sick Ciotti, so I did it again. Third: I think the table is a great idea, just needs a little more refining. Some ripples in the water and maybe fangs on the bottom jaw with some scales carved on the Boddie. all in all, the wood you used was a good choice, hard wood may be hard to carve but you can get more detail to hold in it. Thanks for sharing the video.

You're conflating art as a form of expression and art as a professional skill. You absolutely are an artist in terms of expression, if you're creativity in form and material choices are too mechanical for you to accept the term there, your videos alone are fantastic examples of expression. However... DON'T YOU LIE TO ME! "I'm not a skilled artist", your ability to see the form inside the rough block is legitimately impressive, even if you don't have experience with the tools.

from what i have seen in arizona yes they do swim. i used to live in a very largely populated snake area and have seen them swim very fast in water. as an artist i think you not knowing how to do art you did well. I like it and with some more time i believe you could make it even more detailed. I would have done the detail to the snake before putting it onto the slab to make it easier to add more precise cuts and shape to it. i think you did great
