Transfer your artwork to your carving surface.
Secure your artwork to the wood block, then trace your pattern with a metal stylus (or pencil if you are using transfer paper)
Pencil in your design directly onto the wooden block
Save the paper with your artwork, you'll need it again later
Timestamp [1:40]
Using your Skew Chisel, outline your design, just to the outside of your pencil lines
Remember, only outline the outer lines of the cube
This creates your initial stop cut
Timestamp [3:20]
Now we will use the 5-8mm gouge to create depth around your design
Carve away the outside areas to raise the cube above its background
Continue to use your skew chisel to create deeper stop cuts as you take away more and more of the surrounding wood
Timestamp [5:14]
You should be left with a deep, good-sized trough around your design
Now we can start to form the Cube
As you begin to angle the sides, the artwork for the top is going to disappear, and you'll need to redraw it on
Timestamp [7:22]
You should now have a depth at one corner that is slightly lower than the depth at the corner of the other edge
Even this out with your 5-8mm gouge
Timestamp [8:13]
Draw back in the line of the top edge of your cube that has been carved away
Timestamp [9:14]
Begin to think about the perspective of your cube
Now you will carve the top panel
Draw in the artwork of the top edges again
Carve in the angle with your 5-8mm woodcarving gouge
Timestamp [11:44]
Put the finishing touches on your cube
When you're done, the last step is to cut off a little bit into the cube on its sides to give it more shadow
Carve a small diagonal on the bottom of the cube as well
It was helpful that you showed the process.
Thanks ! 👍
Dear brother is softness or certain types of woods required for carving ?
A question! Does “S” means skew? “F” means finish, etc? I just got some sets of Schaaf chisels
Hy what is the type of the wood
I’m learning lots of technique from these videos. What should we be doing to keep the tools sharp?
If you're tools are already sharpened, get yourself a strop to keep them sharp!
@@SchaafTools that might be good to show in the videos. Or at least mention to remind people that these things need to be maintained.
@@MrMNRichardWright That's the next video we're working on!

👍👍👍
I really want to get good at this whatever it takes, I’m intimidated by the techniques in sharpening tho, I’ve had bad luck in that, suggestions plz
AS A BEGINNER HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DO THIS JUST LIKE YOU HAVE DONE LET ME KNOW PLEASE THANKS
I have been told to clamp the wood and have 2 hands on the gouge.is your way safer?
From Randall: "The technique is important and meant to achieve the shaping wanted but in a way that keeps the user safe. I use what I have coined the "dominant / non-dominant hand" method. You cannot hurt yourself or anyone around you with it's use.
My method has both hands on the chisel at all times as they provide power/thrust (dominant hand) & steering/guidance (non-dominant hand).
As for clamping, I never clamp anything unless I am glueing blocks together. My rubber mat holds the work in place which negates the need to ever clamp."
Hope that helps!
