Love your videos, love your soul. Keep them coming. I get a lot of good tips. I'm going to share one with you as a Jane of all trades.. Now hear me here...😊 😂 Yes sandpaper is a must-have, another must have is nail files, go to your local Sally's Beauty Supply or whatever you have in your state and they will have any grit, the soft foam ones, the hard Emery boards, metal files, snub nose, point nose you name it. BONUS Emery boards are much cheaper than sandpaper. They help me get a straighter line everytime. Great for getting into little spaces, easy to handle. Every nail file has at least 2 sides, some of them have 4 sides with 8 different grits on one board. You can have all different grits of sandpaper right in your hand and not have to keep switching out either. 🤷 ✌️❤️
Now that's funny...I was about to say the same thing! I'm literally doing my finger nails while I'm watching this...lol. I also call myself a Jill of all trades...great minds think alike!
Hi Cornelius, getting a Dremel for Christmas and watching your videos, I want to tear into it right now and start carving. Thanks for the videos, you’ve helped me get an idea on how to use it. Looking forward to seeing more of you.
I like your philosophy about "catching" something. That can be applied to so many areas of life. Thank you for that, in addition to the wonderful wood carving tips!
Cornelius I AM new o power carving and have been watching you videos and learning a great deal. you open the carving a perfect star with a shot of your work desk. it looks like you have created a lazy susan to place the piece on while carving. I would recommend a video on that item and also about the benefits of using a downdraft box or table to help with dust control. these would help us newbies! so in depth discussion on the lazy susan and some details on building it. great idea using a shelf liner to help hold the piece in place. Please keep up the great work and helping to introduces us new guys to this art.
I will be 54 next month and will be using a rotary tool for the first time. I am very impressed with your videos and am learning a lot. Thank You very much.
Fantastic tutorials Cornelius! As a brand new user of rotary tools I find your instruction to be just right. You teach in a direct clear cut manner. Thanks and more videos please.
I ordered a dremmel yesterday. Hoping it'll arrive today so I can get carving. Some great information in these videos. Cant wait to get started. Thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
Hello Cornelius, what a fun and instructive videos you make. I've used a few now. what I wonder is the rotating table construction, did you buy it or did you made it yourself and if so do you have a tutorial for it so I can imitate it or maybe even better to spend a video on it so other members can make one too. Best regards Dorothy Vedder Belgium
YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. I LOVE IT. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US. WE DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE HOME AND GO TO A CLASS, WE CAN JUST WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND LEARN ALL THAT WE NEED TO LEARN.
Nice video! I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot! This is always something I've been interested in and now I'm gonna give it a try. Looking forward to more videos!! Thank you!
just an additional thought regarding use of the lazy susan turn table for a sanding or carving platform. Have you considered adding a small drill press vice on top of the turn table to hold the work in place and free up one hand while carving or sanding?
Loving your tutorials.. They are self explanatory and really in depth.. can you add what's the RPM you keep while operating the flex-shaft. That extra small info will help beginners like me to become more perfect.. :)
Thank you again for your tutorial! I know that you don’t recommend carving pine. What about poplar? Is that hard enough? If not, what cheaper woods do you recommend for a beginner like me?
Thanks to your videos, I gained the confidence to create a wooden sign to advertise my leather business. It is still a work in progress but I enjoy working on it! Thank you for another great video! PS, I caught your sandpaper 😉
I love your videos. Such a great teacher! I have a stump in my back yard that I would like to carve on as a memorial. Can this be done and what can I put on the wood to preserve it?
Soo my friend connected a round piece of wood to the back wheel of what looked like a kids bike 🤷🏻♀️.. he has the break closed instead of open and turns it with the pedal.. idk it’s really cool though lol.: he works on big wood sculptures
Wow. You should offer a complete beginner kit for those of us who are serious (therefore want all items necessary) and beginner meaning (the less expensive version to get us started making money to afford the better stuff later)
Great video, did you make that revolving table yourself or was it purchased, if you did make it are there any plans at all, have a nice day !!! Brian UK .
That rotating stand looks interesting. Is it something you've made? My wife heard the bit about covering your mistakes with other mistakes and wondered if I'd made the video! Very helpful ... Thanks
Go buy a lazy-susanne and some rubber pad or dish mat, cut dish mat to fit top of lazy-susanne, put thin layer of gorilla glue on top of lazy-susanne and then apply the rubber mat or dish mat. Whola!!! Easy-peezy lemon-squeezy! You're welcome. 😉

Love your channel... thanks for the tips and tricks.
Glad they have been helping you!
Thanks 😊. I really need this lesson
You're welcome 😊

@CorneliusCreations thanks for the lesson. I could really use your non slip lazy Susan...did you make it or buy it please?
Please share the information for your rotating tilt table. Thanks!
Thanks man! Definitely caught something.
Loving your tutorials.. They are self explanatory and really in depth.. can you add what's the RPM you keep while operating the flex-shaft. That extra small info will help beginners like me to become more perfect.. :)
I will have a video out soon covering that. The rpm's are dependent on the wood you use
Cornelius Creations thanks Cornelius 😊
Thanks you have help me I have been doing this for several years now but you have tough a old dog new tricks
Wow! That is an awesome comment! I am glad it helped you sir!
Where did you get your stand for carving? Did you build it? Are there plans?

Where did you get your work surface….really like the angel surface

Haha! Glad to hear that man! You should post some videos of your leatherwork!

Nice one bro. Tell me about your little spinning table thing though :)
Cornelius Creations what’s the turn table you have your piece on? Not Sean one before? You have a link? Cheers
Need ear/noise protection with the FOREDOM that you recommend???
Hi Matt did you make the turntable yourself. If you did could you do s video on it
Alan
I am new to carving. I was looking for the tool extension you are using. May I ask where you got it, I have small woman hand?
Hi
Thanks for the tutorial
I would like to ask how could we ensure that the depth carved is even?
Did you make that little table top thing your using? If you bought it where.?
Who says old dogs won't learn new tricks . Keep um coming young lad.
Thank you sir!
Hi, thank you for your great job, but can you tell each tool do you use to do the star? I would like to buy, those is very useful for carving.
Loving your videos very informative
Glad you find them helpful!
I am curious about the stand you are using. Do you have plans for that?
That rotating angled stand you're using - I can't find that mentioned anywhere. Where did you get it please?
I also would like to know about your carving stand. Thanks for your videos!
Video well done!
Robert Held had the same question I have. What information can you give us on the Lazy Susan carving table used in this video?
Nice video, curious about your carving table with the lazy Susan type top. Did you make it or purchase it somewhere??
Hey, that lazy Susan thingy looks a lot like a cake decorator turn-table, just covered over.
Soo my friend connected a round piece of wood to the back wheel of what looked like a kids bike 🤷🏻♀️.. he has the break closed instead of open and turns it with the pedal.. idk it’s really cool though lol.: he works on big wood sculptures
Excellent technique tips
Thank you man! I appreciate it!!
Wow. You should offer a complete beginner kit for those of us who are serious (therefore want all items necessary) and beginner meaning (the less expensive version to get us started making money to afford the better stuff later)
Hmm, I will give his some thought!
Could you use a hand held multi grinder for this
What is better option. Dremel type or hanging motor? I'll used on small details
Hi. Do you have instructions for the lazy Susan table you are carving the star?
Where did you find that woodworking easle? I can't find one anywhere! :(
Great video, did you make that revolving table yourself or was it purchased, if you did make it are there any plans at all, have a nice day !!! Brian UK .
Amazing,i want to learn to u to became the best carpenter sir
Thank you sir
Thanks for another great tutorial. What is the rotating platform you are working on?
Glad you enjoyed it! I cant find exactly where I got it at but here is another place! www.pyrographystore.com/store/p217/Portable_Rotating_Easel.html
That rotating stand looks interesting. Is it something you've made?
My wife heard the bit about covering your mistakes with other mistakes and wondered if I'd made the video!
Very helpful ... Thanks
They are easily made but I actually ordered this. Makes things a lot easier! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Did you make or purchase the rotating stand? It looked real helpful for turning project and appeared to have non slip surface
I bought it.

Go buy a lazy-susanne and some rubber pad or dish mat, cut dish mat to fit top of lazy-susanne, put thin layer of gorilla glue on top of lazy-susanne and then apply the rubber mat or dish mat. Whola!!! Easy-peezy lemon-squeezy! You're welcome. 😉
@@ursulascheuch2565 ready my comment. Should help u out
I have a very similar easel and I just love it.😃💙
Awesome!
Thank you ,,new at doing this so tips really help 👌
Glad it helped!
Very beautiful, what are the names of the three bits you showed ?
I can't remember but they are listed in my links above.
Nice techniques
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, what do you call that rotating thing you do your work on?
That is a lazy Susan.
Thanks this is going to help me out!
Glad it is!
hi, I'm new to wood worki just bought the dremel 4300 , I was wonder how do I know if the wood isn't pine? whats the best wood to work with...
Awesome congrats! The best wood for beginners is Basswood. Just imagine a 2x4. 98% of the time those are pine.
Ask your local lumber store which wood is what. Typically pine is semi hard wood which is why it's good for construction but not so great for fine detailing (although you can do it if youre careful). Also pine has a pretty evergreen smell...like a Christmas tree only not as pungent.
Is there a build video of the turn-table?
Not as of yet
Love the wood carving that you do. Im wanting to make a cross for my son Gaiges grave.
Im wanting to put his name and his date of birth and when he died in the center of the cross and then some kind of design around the top and bottom. Any suggestions and advice?
He was 6.5months old when he was killed
I’m very sorry to hear of your loss, I think carving him a cross would be a great way to honor him! I suggest finding an appropriate size, pitting the name and date in the middle like you said. Then I would go for a “flowy floral design” that will really compliment the shape of the cross and work great inside of it.
I'm looking for a recommendation for a Foredom & flex shaft -
associated model # and any other pertinent information.
Will it accommodate 1/8 inch burs?
For woodcarving, I would use the Foredom SR. It will accept 1/8 burrs.
@@CorneliusCreations thank you for taking the time.
I seen a new dremel accessory called a dust blower. it blows all the dust away from your lines. Its a #490 Dremel dust blower have you tried it
I have tried it before, but I only use it when I am outside
