Nice work

As mentioned by others thank you for this great video. How did you get your block to stay in place? What kind of padding is that under the block that grips it so well? Also can you advise on where I could order? Cheers!

I sure enjoyed your video of this Rose on a stem. It provides such a goal for newcomers. Can you make the rose artwork available or direct me to its design. Thanks,just bought the SCHAAF tools

Good instructions now cotton were do you get it?????

Interesting

Thank you for this video.

Mrning your teaching method is very good, im from canada i want to buy cotton wood from the use ,do you think there custom issues ??? Tim

Are they the large or small handled ones?

The explanation is great. The one error I see is the upper rows of block above the doors are not angled to match the plane of the doors

I cringed every time you had your fingers in front of the chisels and when you were pointing back towards your body. I’m new to carving but I know the rule about pushing blades away from you. I also have enough scars on my fingers and hands to prove it is an easy role to forget.

Mais Reseita

Hi! Are the tool sets still available? I clicked the links and I'm getting an invalid URL warning. Thanks for a great tutorial video.

How do you not split the wood drilling the bark into the 2x6

How do I get a decent edge on your knives and why don't they come Sharp enough to carve well with?

Very nice video. I see you dug into wood like butter. What kind of wood is that. Is it Bass? I had a piece of oak. I tried your technique. My wood was splintering instead of cutting. Either the wood is too hard, or my Loew Cornell 12 pc set is not sharp enough. Now, I'll have to find sharpening tools.

Nice one 👍

Can I suggest u paint ur block black so we can see the cuts better?

Great idea buddy ,not only does it save you money ,which is a plus ! it also gives you another nice project and sense of accomplishment ,thanks for showing us , ive liked and subd you .Greetings from Wales UK ,Ant .

Wow Lucas, first thank you so very much for presenting this tutorial. I can’t imagine what time you spent on creating this and compiling all the added information. Thank you so very much. The tutorial is fantastic.

Is there any video on the entire piece?

This is outstanding

I made one similar out of two pieces of MDF glued together. One side was a concave side for the outside of the gouges and the other was a convex side for the inside of the gouges. You have to strop both sides sometimes.

What type of wood did you use?

Fantastic carving series I loved every minute of it! I bought all of the tools as a beginner I figured this was the best and cheapest way to go forward

Excellent job Lucas. I’m a 72 year-old newbie to wood carving, I live in Alaska, and have ready access to all the cottonwood bark I can carry, lol. I’ve done about 10 Wood Spirits and everyone that sees them really likes them but they’re not where I want them to be. My goal is realism and I want to see that person in the bark looking out at me. This series is exactly what I have been looking for and I will buy every tool that you have recommended in this series. I want to make sure you’re compensated For your work, as you are a master, both has a wood, carver, and an instructor. I greatly appreciated the way you did this series and I know that my next Wood Spirit is going to come out much better. Thank you for a job well done and tell me how to buy the schaaf tools so you get credit for them.

If you want to learn letter carving please watch the video "W055 How to Carve Letters by David Reilly" The reason the madcarver is teaching this slower and much harder way to carve letters is because "Schaaf tools" do not make all the correct chisels and gouges that are proper for letter carving.

What wood are you using here for carving ?

WOULD LOVE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS, BUT NOTICE YOU HAVENT POSTED IN QUITE SOME TIME. Has this channel been abandoned?

Thank you great tip and video 👍

Awesome series very helpful 😊

The exact info I was looking for. I probably gonna build my own mallet after all :) Thanks

I watched the whole video by thought you were going to show us how in the carving we create the illusion of depth like tapering from where you place the line with a V gouges something like that.

Love it thanks you make it look so simple

Brother what kind of wood you use for carving

Dear brother is softness or certain types of woods required for carving ?
