[cheesynounou]

[PIGpatrol007]

Mrs. Williams - Thank you very much for the great tutorial. I am a 37 year old man that has been working as a finish Carpenter for 20 years now. During this time I have never felt "in touch" with any of my projects. I decided to give carving a shot and I found your video here. I believe I have found a great headstart within your directions and I'm looking forward to a new, life long, hobby. Thanks again and enjoy all of your future projects.

[lukkha1]

Her Safety Rules Rule!

[canderso]

I'm so pleased that Spirit's videos are so inspirational! We've been talking about doing a followup. Any suggestions? Spirit's clips are the most popular that I've shot. I'd like to shoot another video that creates such interest.

Best,

Chris

[jamiegreenster]

@canderso yes please dat would b much help........=]

[DaHomieNick]

i can't explain it but watching this makes my brain tingle.

[corporallee44]

I bought the tools a year ago, never picked them up since because I have Arthritis and Osteoporosis in the Vertebrae, but after watching this I might just get myself motivated. Thanks for letting the world see the beauty of wood carving. We and of course yourselves in the States, have 18th Century homes that have fantastic carvings all over, Staircases and wall carvings, that is where I original got the urge to pick up some tools.

[HeilEvilCupCake]

what kind and how large are those tools?

[Blackoutx86]

The wood is probably scream OH GOD MAKE IT STOP.

[dogu9756]

and it's smaller than my hand.... how am I suppose to carve it without holding it??

I'm just trying to make a Totem Amulet....

do you need to use a sand paper???? O_O just to make it ~smooth~

[poodle2426]

@xiaoli26 try using the smallest clamp/vice you can get your hands on.

[gerlutter]

[9122345bjs]

very good!

[floringguy]

dear lady

you have a good sense on the grain... very good basics... look at for some good chisels... like swiss made... and onerule is from professionals, and from artists... (it's not me) a good carver use very rare ""hammer""...

but what is important you works with the grain... what many people don't realize...

thanks to share your experience

[ShadowSlayer103]

lol "you have to pay attention to what the wood is feeling" if thew wood could talk it would be saying ahhhhhh, stop slicing me aahhhh!

lol it was just funny

[Lineagerecluter]

estuuuuuuuuuuuuuupida

[canderso]

there is no part three. You're going to have to learn on your own

[vake001]

where is part 3?

[osprey02]

THANK'S SPIRIT,I like to carve and whittle for the fun of it also.Time does not matter,but everyone ask's how long did that take.I enjoyed your video

[locoxellas]

Greetings from Argentina!! i would like to know...wich is the best wood for carving?? could you tell me please? thanks

[perrococodrilo]

what are the best wood to do this job????????

[canderso]

Bass wood

[FrankenstienRebound]

This is a weird fetish

[Iampolynesian]

hmmmm...

[bigkingsha]

i like the way she beats that hard wood real deep

[BSsoccerJ]

she..likes touching your wood

[matata132645]

u r dickhead u know that

[twixn]

i wont cut myself... and i don't use clamps.

i use a small table with screwed in blocks...

blah.

[aritza27]

ouu yeaaa!!!

[muserwood]

Instead of traditional C clamps, I use a method I that the NW indians used, its a single rope that is looped through my work table, two holes drilled, and tied together under the table, so U place your carving under 2 ropes, that can be moved any way U want them, then U just step on the loop below and it holds the piece in place. It works great and beats any clamp.

[ogzbagsik]

nice

[decoralias]

I have been looking for these kind of artcrafts and found this and really liked me because it seems to be "easier" than I thought. Many thanks.

[ThunderBayCarver]

nice work and good teaching. how long have you been a carver?

[satrianiomgomg]

she said 35 years i think..

[randomdude124612]

wouldnt the clamps put indentions in da wood?

[tbarius]

hence the spacers under the clamp.

[BlenderFreak777]

anyone know of an site that sells chisels? I would really like to get started carving but i have no idea where to get them, all the stores with chisels have chepos, like menards and stuff.

[skullnbones85]

do a little research about chisels and which kind you would need for the task and then you would have a better idea of what ones to get. I'm waiting on a set that i've just bought on ebay. they have a selection from the cheap - to the not so cheap! lol but as i said you need to know what your looking for first.

[Callitasitis]

Great video. I'm a beginner wood carver and like to do relief carvings. I often don't which tool is the right one to use. I live in Asia and Camphor wood is in abundance here. Any suggestions or comments about Camphor wood? Could you do just a video on what situation is right for the chisel, gouge, veiner etc? Thanks.

[XxnicckkXx]

Can anyone refer me to a video of intro for sculptures?

[hubbadubchub]

bass wood stupid.

[masterofunicycles]

that was a brilliant comment. (it cracked me up.)

[GodDamn500]

What type of wood are you using spirit?

[randomdude124612]

bass

[shadowsofnineveh]

what is the wood telling you now? what are its feelings?

[Qloos]

Anyone who works on pieces of art needs to have imagination. Otherwise all they'll ever see is a piece of wood.

Now go toss your lumber in your fireplace, you clearly have no other use for it caveman.

[hakobg]

Very well done -- that is explanation and the art! When I carve I talk to the wood -- ask her what I want and mostly I get what I wanted :)

[scrantonian]

i like spirit , yes i do

[Marihani]

Its just plain fun! YEAH!

[rfeil]

Thank you so much for showing such detailed instruction! Please post more.

[canderso]

Check out Spirit Williams--Conclusions

[canderso]

If anyone is in the Hocking Hills Ohio USA area the next two weekends (10/14/06 & 10/21/06) Spirit is having a gallery Open House 23500 St. Rt. 180 Rockbridge, Ohio

[shadowsofnineveh]

do you ever find that while working on living and breathing wood, you come across examples of the wood in pain as you cut it?
