    I absolutely love that you show your WHOLE process. I wish more people would be honest about the tools they use and just show it for the love of the craft. I am a huge fan of rotary tools, and I wish more people showed how they use them.
    Please make more videos like this. I absolutely adore watching them and learning the process you use.

    I am by no means an expert and I'm a huge fan of the final product but I thought from the thunbnail that you were going to use orange resin and form it to shape so that you could potentially put a light behind it and make it glow or just have a more eyball looking texture! That could be cool for a future project!

      Jonasolsenwoodcraft you should do a huge wall mural out of little pieces of wood carved into a scene from the Hobbit move like when the dragon is looming over Bilbo and looking down at him with one eye you carved the eye now all that is needed is the rest of the scene like the gold, Bilbo, pillars,etc. that would be very awesome.

    By the way, would you be willing to do a "tour" of your workshop and show what tools you have and what their primary uses are? I'm trying to get into wood carving/wood turning and I'm not really sure where to begin, or where to learn about the tools used in this craft, and I learn best from videos. Thank you! :)
