hey thanks for doing this video, i just got a kit today and like you i'm uneasy at starting. after watching you, i feel better about what i'll be doing. now to decide on the design.
The knife is clearly marked withe RR stamp on the blade. I think it is the RR Little Mustang. Some Rough Ryder white bone models do dot have a shield od a bolster stamp now.
I bought a tourist scrimshawed knife. I scraped the obviously machine ingraved design off, bought some india ink and am looking for information on scrimshawing. Your video was the first I found and will be ordering a kit. Thank you for sharing.
I wonder if the ink stains the polished bone parts if you leave it on to dry. If you darken the surface before carving, you'll see your lines a bit better (if you can wipe it off later).
i'm going to try this way then try my rotary tool. see which one is better. on different pic, ive traced.. cant afford the scribe set. USA then shipping.. just bout carbon paper and trace it that way...ive also cut my own (bone) made a few all bones knives,. from the butcher shop.
Great video! Scrimshawing is so much fun and relaxing. Definitely takes practice though. I have a real sperm whale tooth I want to scrimshaw but I need more practice.
this is what i need. for those who cant carv.. no skills really.lol now where did u get this? I may of missed it.i skipped to the good part.. sorry!! never mind i see it! DUH. great video..
@@BravetheWoods …not so much specifically your video but there are a lot of such videos. “I don’t know what I’m doing but let me show you how to do this.” I wouldn’t expect someone to come fix my plumbing who says, “hey I’ve never done this so let em take a crack at it”. I wouldn’t expect a professor to say hey I teach math so let me teach you how to bake this bread etc… take My nastiness is taken out here but it’s a general thing. I think ppl who teach should attain at least a certain level of expertise first.
@@bobrenda1618 sure I get that. I guess I just felt like my video was clearly labeled as my first attempt. Think of this more of a review or cataloguing my creative exploration. Figured if others were interested in trying they might want to see how hard it is for someone who has never done it. Never trying to waste a viewer’s time by putting hours of my time into making content to live on the internet for free.
@@BravetheWoods All true and fine and I think my reaction is also valid but it’s no biggie. As a viewer looking to learn something I want to see a video done by someone who is experienced and can teach me. I guess I’m not taking into consideration that youtube is also used as a hobby and a social vehicle. And yes it’s free and takes the one who posts time and effort. I assume the ones posting enjoy that process too so I’m not inclined to elevate it to the level of a big humanitarian offering (😆). At any rate maybe we’re on two different tracks in the spectrum of the “youtube experience’. I just want a fast reference learning thing and you seem to want to share your journey etc (I’m sure I haven’t fully considered your motivations…). At any rate there you have it…my over analysis and your take. In the end it no big deal. Maybe I should have kept my snark to myself. Peace. Consider this case closed.
@@bobrenda1618 thanks for the honesty. I shouldn’t really engage in these posts, just sometimes I have moments of frustration because of the time I put into content. I’m probably being over sensitive. Aside from all that, you made some very valid points about instructional videos. I feel the same way as a viewer and will make sure to keep that in mind for future, instructional videos I produce. It was a pleasure having a civil conversation with you. Thanks for even watching my videos at all. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for trying this! I guess I will have to try it, too! Good job on yours! Keep on having fun and learning (and showing us!).
Great video! Thanks for the instruction. I want to try this on deer antler.
hey thanks for doing this video, i just got a kit today and like you i'm uneasy at starting. after watching you, i feel better about what i'll be doing. now to decide on the design.
Of course! Best of luck with yours!

Great video thanks for sharing!! Im working on a project with this exact kit and I'm thankful that you shared your experience 👍👍🏹🏹
best of luck on yours! Thanks for watching!
Great video!! I have been wanting to try this for a while now, thanks for the tutorial!! I'm subscribing!!
Looks like an un marked Rough Ryder knife. Great quality knives.
The knife is clearly marked withe RR stamp on the blade. I think it is the RR Little Mustang. Some Rough Ryder white bone models do dot have a shield od a bolster stamp now.
So cool, never thought I could make a scrimshaw but you made it look very doable, thanks

Oh that’s amazing! Glad you found my video then. Let me know how it goes! It’s a good time.
Lovely design, well done man!
After you transfer the drawing with the transfer paper, scratch until the graphite is gone.
I wonder if the ink stains the polished bone parts if you leave it on to dry. If you darken the surface before carving, you'll see your lines a bit better (if you can wipe it off later).
Looks good man

2nd.
This is so cool
What if you don’t want to buy kit?
this is what i need. for those who cant carv.. no skills really.lol now where did u get this? I may of missed it.i skipped to the good part.. sorry!! never mind i see it! DUH. great video..
Haha glad you found it! Thanks 😊
No matter how hard I dig I can't get the ink to stay in
Is the knife made in the USA?
Where could I buy the pre drawn designs to transfer
Owen Jones it comes in the kit I bought from Mollyjogger. Link in video description. Thanks for watching!
You had the same problems as me
Scrimshaw from 17th century... erm. O.. it’s thousands and thousands of years old
The art of carving/etching into bone is thousands of years old correct. I’m referring to scrimshaw Art of whalers etching into bone on ships.
@@BravetheWoods yes again. Thousands of years
Why do ppl do videos saying this is the first time I’ve ever done this then proceed to show HOW TO DO IT!! Just dumb.
Sorry to offend Bob! Didn’t meant to put you out today with my video trying out a new art media on my channel.
