Hi Sharon Elliott, I subscribed, Im 75 and have whittled a little in my life and wanted to learn go to go about things carving. I signed up for your little people class before going to a group class on wood carving at Cedar Lakes Conference Center, in West Virginia for a week. Even though the class instructor had over 20 years experience, you did more exacting and progressive way of teaching what needed to be done and why. I have shown parts of you video to others in the carving group and they are surprised and impressed at your technique. Thanks for helping me chip away.

Could you please just write down the size of the wood you use for the projects, would truly mean a lot for me. Thank you so much for sharing your videos, i love it!! Cannot wait to start anymore!!

Hi, Sharon There are wood carving blades out there for X-ACTO knives. They're less expensive than the knife you're using. I'm new to this hobby and I'd like to know if I can use an X-ACTO as an alternative to using your knife. Also regarding the wood being used to carve these guys, I thought an alternative to basswood would be something like pine or perhaps balsa wood. Is there anything wrong with these alternatives?
@patrickwoolery60005 жыл бұрын
Basswood is really the premium stuff to use. Pine tends to split easily and balsa is just so fragile and has a fuzzy surface. You can see how nicely the basswood holds detail with a sharp knife in this video. I suggest Heinecke Wood products for good prices (I'm not affiliated with them). A search is your friend. That said, I really like to whittle found wood - branches, random bits of pruned wood, that sort of thing. If you want consistent properties, get basswood, if you want character in your material, get free wood. I have never been happy carving pine. But that may just be me. Regarding knives, you can certainly carve with X Acto blades, but you will eventually want to move up to a better quality knife. The round handles are not as controllable as a proper carving knife. If you already have the XActo, use that. If not, look into a decent pocket knife. Victorinox makes a 2 blade one called the Pocket Pal that is great for whittling. It isn't expensive - under $20. The Tinker might be even cheaper and it comes with a can opener. You want a handle you can control, a blade that is thin enough to be really sharp without being too long, and a look that says "not a weapon" to anyone who sees it. You will want proper sharpening tools, too. A fine grit hone and a small strop with compound will be all most people ever need.
@FrugalShave5 жыл бұрын
An X-ACTO is not designed for this type of work. You can make it work probably. It will take longer and you will break blades. A good properly sharpened small blade pocket knife would be much better. But then again, the best carving knives in the world are only $30.
@mikeowen4115 жыл бұрын
I'm assuming you don't expect me to use the same knife you have. I use a carving knife, a gouge, a chisel, and a V carving tool all made by Flexcut along with a Dremel tool and an occasional X-ACTO knife. I also have the Flexcut sharpening strop

@ToddAndrewCole4 жыл бұрын
Hi Tia! She said she has carved over 2,000 of these little people, so I imagine she has developed some muscles specific to carving. Soaking the wood in water before you carve it helps soften the wood also. Also, make sure your knife is razor sharp so that it shaves the hair on your arm. These guys sure are a lot of fun to carve and make great gifts. Take care.

Gene Messer Not to be critical or anything, but wether or not she learned from him doesnt make a difference. I pass along lots of things I learn from others. Is it wrong for me to share a video showing crochet stitches my mother taught me? It is also quite posible that there are many people who think alike in this world. How can you be certain she didnt do these first, or learn the technique from one of her grandparents or something. Besides, Price uses a different technique. He cuts a silhouette of the subject then defines it. Ive seen these same figures she is carving EVERYWHERE. I really dont think they should be labled exclusive. I also dont know why you have complimented this carver in the past if you felt this way.
