Just cut my hand open ......the blade went straight through the glove . Bled out for a while .....just had a beer ....ready to whittle again 👍

I've found a good source of the athletic tape to be farm supply stores. Seems to be exactly the same as what's sold elsewhere. It's used for horses and comes in double the width but is half the price of the "human" stuff. I just take a sharp utility knife and slice the roll in half, then I'm ready to go.

Nice one, thanks. I like the idea of the thicker/wider tape.

for thumb i personally prefer the harder material, with multiple wraps, but easy on tightness - they come off easily, and are way better for leverage

Thank you. Very useful information for me as for novice in a carving.

Love my Dex Fit gloves. I use them for everything!

Informative and helpful. Thanks for doing this video.

Great video! I was curious about what you used so I could start trying my hand at this hobby. this really helped

Yes! I have good gloves, but bad finger guards. I will use this. Thank you!

I've been looking for this new info for weeks, thanks my good man. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🖐👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Look in Walmart in the pharmacy you can get the self adhesive tape cheap and you can get 2 rolls in a package

I didn’t listen to you and didn’t use protection so I absolutely cut up my thumb. I’ll be using athletic tape now. Learned my lesson

I butcherd some metal working gloves really good for thumb guard

Hey Brian! Would you have an opinion on Flexcut's interchangable tool sets (SK107 or 108) and how they compare to their fix blade tools? Also on your website you gave stone carvings, do you do those with regular carving knifes/tools or do you use something else? Love the channel! Keep up the good work!

I'm using finger bandages, mine have every 10cm a wound pad. Sure they are slimmer, but if you place the part with the wound pad where you could get cut they are awesome! Just a little bit more protection than just the tape

I actually bought and use the same Green tape as you!! I'd never used it before - it's like some witchcraft/star trek future tech shit! 🦈

Thank you.

I just bought some Amazon branded cut-resistant gloves. I didn't think about the black stuff potentially rubbing off the gloves and marking everything. Hopefully mine don't have that problem.

The black on the rubber on my pair rubs off onto the carvings. I’m switching to non rubber ones

I just sliced my thumb pretty bad with a hook knife guy the other day. I shoulda listened to you lol

If I'm carving something small I usually just use regular platers. That sport tape is probably pretty nice also since one can re use them. But I just can't find any gloves that I like. I wish there was some super thin gloves out there (and there probably is). But everyone I tried just don't feel right,the thin garden gloves with those little rubber dot's is ok. But when I carve, I like to feel what I'm doing. And if the gloves are too thick,you basically don't have any feel of what one are doing. That's my biggest issue with gloves.

1:12 ...At our home depot , they sell 3 packs of A5 Firm Grip Cut Resistant Hi Visibility (L) for $15. These should be fine for safety eh ? 3:19 ...appreciate that tip with the tool wrap vs Athletic tape self grip....I will hunt for that today.. Thank you again for these budget tips for carving. cheers

Brian, I tried using the contact link on your website, but it is not working right now. Is there an email I can contact you at?

Please do not use the basic gloves: they are not puncture-resistant. I learned that today when my knife went right through the basic glove and cut me to the bone on my index finger.
