Surely if you have a circular saw, a band saw and a scroll saw etc, then it is pretty obvious how to cut out blanks. It’s a lot more difficult to do it without power tools. Just very envious!
Sorry for the delayed reply. Somehow I missed it. Everywhere the glue is sprayed on the wood is wastewood. It goes into the trash. So no need to remove it. I also use glue sticks. Less of a mess and very easy to apply.
Hello, sorry but i don't understand english i used the translator. I love your beautiful work, I would like to ask you a question, is it possible for me to get the plan of these animal figures to print? Thank you.
Would a scroll saw suffice for cutting blanks this size? I'd be doing mainly smaller carvings. approximately 2"x2"x6. I wanted to cut down on some of the time and guesswork in the rough out process. Just a bit unsure of whether it would be the appropriate investment. I can get a used 16" delta of skil online for pretty cheap ($50).
Thanks for your question. I have cut out hummingbird blanks on a scroll saw no problem. I would look into how much height clearance the saw has. You could always scale down your carvings to miniature size which would definitely work.
Thanks for your question. I have made planks with a scroll saw. But they’re pretty small like a hummingbird. I believe most scrolls souls are limited to an inch and a half to 2 inches in height. Can be done I’ve done it.
Not really. But you do need to tape or fasten the sides back together to get an accurate cut on the other side. I appreciate your question. Thank you very much. I’m sure this will help other people as well.
Thanks for your question, sorry for the delayed response. My second bandsaw the 10 inch delta has a 1/8 inch blade in it. It’s the smallest one I can find and spins around just like a scroll saw blade. I installed a carter blade Guide designed for small blades and removed my guides to have that kind of flexibility.
Thanks for your question, yes I’ve had that happen many times before as well. Usually I can just pick the glue off. I started using a glue stick and that seems to work pretty good too.
Thanks for your question. Band saws can run from $150 to several thousand dollars. The bandsaw I own was about $600. I see used bandsaw‘s online for $50 all the time. If you do not own a bandsaw you can always buy blanks from wood carving supply stores.
Thanks for your question. Yes, basswood is considered a hardwood but it has very little grain making it easy to carve. I have never carved lime wood before but I’ve been told that it is identical to basswood. Tupelo is a very soft wood, so soft and light that a knife does not cut it very well do you need a rotary tool.
Thorough explanations sprinkled with smart tips, fantastic!
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it.

Thank you. I wanted to see it done before I did it. Your commentary included many useful tips as well.
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.
Thanks for the history lesson. You have done a great video.really nice
Thank you I truly appreciate it.
Very interesting, well done!
Awesome vid, very helpful!!
Thank you very much I appreciate it
thank you
Great to watch. Can you tell me what’s in the glue, does it need white spirit to clean up?

Interesting history

I love your beautiful work,
I would like to ask you a question, is it possible for me to get the plan of these animal figures to print?
Thank you.
Thank you! Look on Pinterest under bird carving patterns. Wood carving supply stores will have patterns, books and magazines will have patterns.

The sideview is facing backwards?
im new to whittling, would a scroll saw make the blank cuts also?
Thanks for your question. I have made planks with a scroll saw. But they’re pretty small like a hummingbird. I believe most scrolls souls are limited to an inch and a half to 2 inches in height. Can be done I’ve done it.
Does it matter what side you cut first?
Not really. But you do need to tape or fasten the sides back together to get an accurate cut on the other side. I appreciate your question. Thank you very much. I’m sure this will help other people as well.
What size blade was on the 2nd band saw?
Thanks for your question, sorry for the delayed response. My second bandsaw the 10 inch delta has a 1/8 inch blade in it. It’s the smallest one I can find and spins around just like a scroll saw blade. I installed a carter blade Guide designed for small blades and removed my guides to have that kind of flexibility.
Did you post a video showing your carving of these?
Thanks for your question. Yes, there’s videos of both of these being carved. One of the chef is called in the round carving.

I find when using spray glue the nozzle gets clogged up. How do you stop this from happening
Thanks for your question, yes I’ve had that happen many times before as well. Usually I can just pick the glue off. I started using a glue stick and that seems to work pretty good too.
@@markdmaker3173 yea that’s what I am using now.
What is the dimensions of the blade your using on cutting out the man. What’s the TPI of the blade. Thanks for the video.
Are use high-quality Bosch blades but I run them for a long time. I used a 1/8 inch for cutting out the little guy.
@@markdmaker3173 how many teeth per inch?
@@donburnside6448 I’m pretty sure it’s 15 TIP
how much cost of your band saw?
Thanks for your question. Band saws can run from $150 to several thousand dollars. The bandsaw I own was about $600. I see used bandsaw‘s online for $50 all the time. If you do not own a bandsaw you can always buy blanks from wood carving supply stores.
Bass wood originally came from the English lime tree .
Awesome! Thanks for your comment.

Obrigado. Eu aprecio suas amaveis palavras.
You said Basswood is a hard wood??????????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ I’ve always thought basswood is a very soft carving wood softer than Limewood!
Thanks for your question. Yes, basswood is considered a hardwood but it has very little grain making it easy to carve. I have never carved lime wood before but I’ve been told that it is identical to basswood.

No
?
This is SO confusing for me. It’s not you, I’m confused no matter what video I watch explaining this process.
To simplify it, start off with clay. Get used to three-dimensional form first before you start carving wood.
