One of the best how to videos I,ve seen - nice choice of music. You've inspired me to finish a carving of a flower I started a couple of years ago. I sometimes get afraid because I don't know how to sharpen my carving tools properly - my Dad used to do it for me and he did show me but I couldn't get the hang of it .Hint hint!

What are those carving clamps called? Thanks for uploading - really great!

[jondi59]

@rosiethebear300 thank you very much. I am really happy that you finished your piece. It is a wonderful thing to be able to carve and loose yourself in it. Being afraid is the worst enemy of carvers but the best thing is...... you can start again. The clamps are veritas. You can google them. Good luck and if you ever need a teacher just set up a course and we will be more than happy to come and teach.

@jondi59 tried it and I failed pretty much..

[jondi59]

@kurogane2x Just try again, one day it will work out for you as long as you don´t give up. Believe in yourself my friend!

[kurogane2x]

@jondi59 Also your tools do it like butter :))

[kurogane2x]

We were gonna carve a relief tomorrow. and the only thing I can afford are not those heavy duty carving materials but those 2 dollars 3 piece china made small carving tools :\

[jondi59]

Great video! I learned a lot. I think the key to carving being able to mentaly visualize the carved object a in real life 3 dimensions.

Wow! awesome dude! u did a fantastic job. turning something so simple into something so pro! haha. I was planning to carve something out of clay for my mum. like an actual standing plant. But with this. i might carve my mums face or something for her birthday. Maybe mothers day :D. But that was an awesome vid. Great job. Must've taken a long time for it aye? haha :P
