This day and age everything is already made for us and most ppl never question what it took to make anything .let alone the learning process and trial and error U definitely get not only a better understanding making something urself but a deeper appreciation.
This weekend I finished my first spoon. I think it's beautiful. Handling it feels wonderful and it weighs nothing (7 gms!). It feels a bit strange in my mouth being wood and not metal. I designed it originally as a teaspoon but it's big enough for an eating spoon. It's one of the few practical things I own that I made myself.
Awesome, I’ve just started a hand carved bowl this evening with an adze. I’m using a bit of bay from a tree that came down in a customer’s garden. I love the work bench, I’ve been looking out for a suitable lump of wood to come along as I’ve seen that style on other videos. Got a piece of radiata pine off a tree surgeon who was working in the graveyard where I take the dog for a walk, it was a pig to split so the longer piece might make a good mallet in the leg of lamb style. That last gauge with the swan neck looked the business as I have a problem finishing the bottoms with a normal bent gauge, so it looks like I will be asking Santa for one in my Christmas stocking. Very instructional and inspiring video.
I use all chainsaws and power tools for carving, but I love the hand tools, very good stuff to watch for any one into wood working...I began carving large faces for totem poles as a teenager, with just a broad head axe, and a gouge... nothing like using hand tools to make wood, or even stone into shape...love the Bush craft work bench, I definitely want to make one for my shop...
Two comments mate. Fantastic tool skills and an awesome work bench. I can make the bench soon enough but will have to get a blacksmith friend to forge me some crude tools to work with. Good job my friend. Inspired to get away from power tools again. Mo-Re Mountain Refugee Buds & Bowls
Nice! My uncle did a few bowls of wood, but always used burl, because the grain runs every which way and it doesn't split. But this guy obviously does greater quantities, and has to use straight-grained wood. Beautiful to watch him work and make good use of the material in spite of the disadvantages.
Nice to hear some more of the queen's on your channel, Josephs :-) i really wanted to get to the bushcraft show this year, if i had made it we could have met up after all. Ho hum.
I am hoping that you might read this comment? Good video for a start, very informative indeed and how to go about carving a bowl. I did try freeze frame but to no avail :-( I am interested to know what size chisel you used ?? The pfeil chisel. What number, curve & width. Hope you do not mind me asking, Thank you. Les.
You are using green wood , correct? What about the cracks that will occur? U season the wood in a specific humidity before working it? My kuksas sometimes crack . Thanx
Yes, green wood can crack (also called a check or split). I have used green wood and boiled the project just before completion (average an hour per inch or more time if you wish as boiling longer will not cause any problems), then when the project dries, complete the carving and apply your finish. I have not had my piece split yet.
couldnt you turn the handle around or make one that just angles towards you instead of towards the the piece your working on. then you could get the bottom of the bowl
I would like to give it a try, but I am actually more interested in making the tools he used. The carving bench with the wedges and pegs fascinates me and the custom axe sounds like a great blacksmithing project. JB
The lignin in wood has antibacterial properties. Additionally, wood surfaces tend to dry fairly quickly, so water loving microbes won't fair too well, and the fibers will contract as they dry meaning aerobic microorganisms can't thrive. Also, if you oil your wooden-wares they will be less apt to absorb water in the first place, and if you wax the exterior, the water will just bead off.
Brando is absolutely correct! I will add though, if you're still concerned, like if you've used a bowl or wooden plate etc for meat, wet it down, then rub some table salt into it and leave it for a bit. This will bugger up any remaining nasties, as salt will further absorb water from tiny microorganism bodies. Rinse it off with boiling water and you're good to go. I actually use this method to treat my wooden chopping boards once in a while. If you have plastic ones, you should use this a lot more often, especially the salt part, as the tiny cuts in the plastic cannot dry out like what happens in wood, which is why they harbour more germs. Wood eating utensils are actually a lot more hygienic than you'd think.
They did a tour of some of thr european mainland (the Netherlands for example) and then England. I'm looking forward to see what the filmed at the royal armouries in leeds (if anything). Pax
That's how I get started, too. First, I'm going to flatten the bottom so it'll sit flat on my table. Then, I'm going to "start THINKING about carving out the middle." Usually I have a cup of coffee and a chair to do that bit.

So cool! I could watch you do this all day!
I love the cooking system in the background.
The looks on the faces of the boys in the background at 23:40 are priceless!

Best video on bowl carving yet!
One of the best bowl carving demonstrations I've seen.
Hermoso trabajo, gracias por compartir el video. Love from Perú

Great demonstration. A lost art and living history.
Perhaps better described as a "found" art.
You can tell this is last year everyone's friendlier.

Thank you for this video. Is the gauge from Pfeil? What is the type and size?
Thanks for filming and the gentleman allowing. I learned quite a bit.
K oy
That Vice block is genius!!
I know right! JB
Rope vises are cool too, there's also tong vises. Couple other types as well.
Fun to watch... always liked the rural shows.
Excelente trabalho, very beatiful. Gostaria de saber quê madeira é essa ok? Forte abraço thanks.
Well I just learned another trick, the folding ruler as a depth gauge, GREAT VIDEO ! ! !
Is the wood aged and dry, or is it still “green”?
Green
Nice to hear some more of the queen's on your channel, Josephs :-) i really wanted to get to the bushcraft show this year, if i had made it we could have met up after all. Ho hum.

Wow you are a Master bowl carver
Que pena! Tão bonita e quebrou! Trabalho de mestre! Parabéns 👏
I am hoping that you might read this comment?

Thank you.
Les.
I'm not sure what size the chisel was. JB
Wood is the most versatile material in any type of construction, in Brazil this tool is called "GAMELA"
Good job
Awesome lesson 👍
What does one call that kind of work bench?
Nice job .
You are using green wood , correct? What about the cracks that will occur? U season the wood in a specific humidity before working it? My kuksas sometimes crack . Thanx

I would have enjoyed so much more without that music and the sound of the axe chopping instead! Thank you for the video!
Ive wonderedwhat the cut out in the axe head is , had a theory was for that . or leaverage . now i know for sure .
It's called a beard and that and the grind or bevel differentiates a carving axe from a normal woodsplitting axe.
Great skill, you make it look easy, I wouldn't trust myself lol
Where did you pick up the ruler?
I love his cup too!
Where did you get your swan neck chisel?
Gotta love the Flintstones mallet! 😁
I love his Cup too!
Good video
What kind of wood is that? Also are you going to be making these?
Birch,
Correct. JB
I would like to give it a try, but I am actually more interested in making the tools he used. The carving bench with the wedges and pegs fascinates me and the custom axe sounds like a great blacksmithing project. JB
@@GoodandBasic the bench and tools were very cool
@@GoodandBasicIts a fantastic bench. Has a really mediaevil ambience.
What the name of this wood please?
It looks like silver birch, its very common in the UK.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Hey mate. Pls tell me the name of the tool where the guy is using at 6 min. Thank you

In indonesia the tools name is kadukul/cangkul kayu

Stupid question alert: What makes wooden bowls, cups etc. hygienic?
The lignin in wood has antibacterial properties. Additionally, wood surfaces tend to dry fairly quickly, so water loving microbes won't fair too well, and the fibers will contract as they dry meaning aerobic microorganisms can't thrive. Also, if you oil your wooden-wares they will be less apt to absorb water in the first place, and if you wax the exterior, the water will just bead off.

Rinse it off with boiling water and you're good to go.

Wood eating utensils are actually a lot more hygienic than you'd think.
I would probably steer clear of laburnum or yew if the end use is eating utensils.
@@TheMurlocKeeperA friend of mine used to just chuck his chopping board into his swimming pool.
Can someone please help a newcomer and list the tools used in this video? 🙏🏻
Carving axe, bowl adze, bent gouge(maybe #7 30mm?), swan neck gouge.
Nogal?

Nice to hear a british voice on this channel. Did he come to you or did you fly to the UK?
A quick google says the Bushcraft Show 2019 was in the UK midlands, near Burton on Trent
They did a tour of some of thr european mainland (the Netherlands for example) and then England. I'm looking forward to see what the filmed at the royal armouries in leeds (if anything). Pax
Very good

Tea for me. And I do a LOT of that. Staring and thinking.
Très beau travail à l'ancienne. 😊
Very interesting
Driving the adze with a maul.... Oh d'oh! So obvious, and absolutely never occurred to me... right there, worth watching the video ;)
I am here watching a man carve a bowl at 2 am
2:20am here in South Africa.
Bagus , mangkok kayu yang indah👍🙏🏻
bowl carving
Byan bravou bravou
👍👌🏿
Legal 👍
Why notget a axe made at a British blacksmiths? You could have bought a piece of better steel.
This is my dad and he now uses an adze made by josh Burrell, a uk blacksmith
I just watched a guy making a wooden bowl not sure why ? I prefer paper plates no cleaning up
Use a leaf. :)
Wait until you eat off a plate you've made yourself.
Super bravoooooooo
And you make paper from the waste
We make a bowl, we cut it in half. :)
