The wood I used is basswood, and I buy it in 1x1x6 inch blanks. I simply cut the 6-inch blank down into several 2.5" sections using a handsaw.
These blanks make your entire chess set very easy to measure and keep consistent, and if you'd like to buy your own, you can check them out in the link below. Thanks for watching!

    Okay so why didn't you just sharpen it yourself? Its like 20 bucks. Obviously, some finishing was left out to cut costs it's not a big deal.

    I recommend old timer carving splinter if your the lucky one you get it sharp there all different mine was very sharp I cut my finger first touch and cuts my wood very very good and also mine is the same exact one and does have a locking macanisuim and mine is the same alot sharper bc it came like that I hope y’all are lucky I was my 14th birthday present for 2024 on June 28th I just got it today I ordered it or my nana did I love it

    I bought the Old Timer and was disappointed. It was dull as a weeding hoe and would not take an edge. Don’t waste your money on the Old Timer. If you want a good knife to whittle get a FlexCut.

    Oh and by the way if you get the premium or Deluxe you actually will get a walnut or an oak handle even in the picture you can tell it's Walnut

  • @VdubSPAZ
    @VdubSPAZ Місяць тому

    Okay just to give you a heads up I have purchased both and a few other sets and I found out if you get the deluxe set or the premium set of beavercraft they blow the flex cut out of the water and let's face it there's not a one of us let's go to say okay this is the profile we want with this blade we always go and resharp it and re-profile them anyway you're going to do the same thing with the flex cut all of them come extremely Sharp but you need to learn how to sharpen your knives anyway add maintain them they both have the same ergonomic design and the same steel the only difference is is fit and finish and as I said if you get the deluxe or the premium the fit and finish is there any my opinion looks better than the flex cut

    beavercraft sets wont put me into debt, and is great for what i need, flexcut is to pricey to use for me, im broke enough that if i used a flexcut id be sweating the whole time about chipping or breaking it edit: beavercraft is my go to not just because of a tight budget, but because i prefer using a thicker blade

    I just went to Helvie Knives website. It is so unfortunate that their family is having severe health issues. They are NOT taking any new orders at this point. They used to state a 16 month waiting list for paid orders. I suppose that is gone now. I wish them all the best during this crisis. I just happen to have one Helvie knife that I purchased years ago and just put away. It is very sad that the Universe does this kind of thing to good people.

  • @InimitaPaul
    @InimitaPaul 4 місяці тому

    I’d say the Old Timer is perfect for beginners, no beginner wants to pay CJ prices especially if they’re not experienced in blade maintenance. They can start with the OT and any mistakes they make are cheap to fix, heck for the price why not buy two and break one down and see what can be done with it re modifications. CJ’s a way overpriced for a sharp blade and ergonomics, most beginners aren’t going to be carving more than a spoon or a bushcraft cup so it’s more than suitable for the occasional use it will get. If they find they love carving THEN consider stepping up but as I said, CJ’s are way overpriced.

  • @danielace7852
    @danielace7852 4 місяці тому

    Thank you for sharing this! I have carved many faces but few animals and a dog is my next project requested from a family member. Thank you for the honesty of the "oops". When I tried to carve a bird I accidentally performed a "head-en-ectomy!" so yes too much pressure. Also trying to carve a hat the material was thin so I too had to make a tiny stop cut then vertical cut like your tail that is a handy technique. I will watch your vid many times as I do to really get the techniques down.
