@Linocutboy It also helps that I got some nice hand made Italian cutting tools recently, which have completely changed my attitude and confidence. You explain everything really well though. You should make more videos. Seriously, I got a lot out of this and I've been watching shot tons of similar videos lately. You nailed it though.

This was a really interesting, helpful series of videos. I've been looking for technique tips on rubber stamp carving but they seem to be hard to find. I know the basics but I need more technique help. So I'm gonna try some lino, after watching this, because I'm thinking maybe it's a little easier because it doesn't stretch like rubber does. It just seems like that would make carving easier. And I like the idea of coloring the lino before you cut so you can actually see where you've cut. That's something I can apply to carving rubber, too. Anyway, thank you! I'm a subscriber to your channel now!
