A Carvers Life | What Happens Behind the Scenes

[@larrywheeler9797]

How charming Tay! You seem to have adapted very quickly to the skid steer for sure! A lot of logs to move and buck in one day and you still had energy to spare. So glad you did this type vlog Tay so more people will know how sweet and darling you really are. Please do more of these in the future wont you? Trailer backing was spot on with a little guidance from Marco! Kisses Nami! Blessings cutie! 💛

[@TayMarie23]

Haha thank you! I just need to drive my trailer out to a big empty parking lot and play around for an hour or so until I get the hang out it! Doesn’t help that my truck doesn’t have a rear view mirror 🙃 That will hopefully be resolved soon lol! Will definitely do more behind the scenes vlogs!

[@keegantimber8571]

Nice chaps Tay! Can you put me in your back pocket! Lol. Betting you like that Bobcat! Hi mom and dad! Nice log cabin getaway! Tay is a lucky girl! With that new trailer, I’m betting on some road trips and carving competitions Tay! Your looking trim and fit after that workout Tay! Hi Nami! Feel free to bite on those new chaps! You can prob give mom a blood blister! Moms a tough girl. Lol. The worm clamps remind me of Monsters inside me! Thanks for your Service to all of us in need Tay! Thumbs up everyone! 👍👍👍

[@TayMarie23]

I love the Bobcat, I am a very lucky daughter 🙌🏼😁 And thank you, I’m loving the new chaps so far, it was very nice of YardMaris to send them to me, chaps are not cheap!

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

You need a log bucker. You haven't even been carving for a year?! And you're already that damn good? You have been blessed with a wonderful talent. The skid steer can do incredible work if handled properly. Great content btw! Loved it. You are going places.

[@frankieoraiz7116]

Awesome trailer😊 ..big step to a busy carver😊

[@TayMarie23]

I can’t wait to use it for shows and storing things! It’s going to be game changing! 😊

[@diegoalfonsoperezrojas250]

Hello, greetings from Colombia. I am an admirer of yours. I am also a wood sculptor and I like your work. You are an inspiration to me.

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you very much! 💛

[@markdecker8020]

You are doing great on the skid steer cleaning up is kind of fun it let’s you see what you have watch your back be safe

[@TayMarie23]

It’s so fun to drive, especially as I get a little more comfortable with how to operate it 😊

[@ellisyork1817]

TayMarie you are very blessed in your art form to be able to take a chunk of wood and make something beautiful.

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jeffreydye181]

Great video. Skid steer nice tool to have!!

[@TayMarie23]

I’m so unbelievably grateful to have access to one for the summer, it’s going to save my back and make bigger jobs possible!

[@alid8646]

Good work Tay, moving logs around is a pain alright, the bobcat definitely helps! look forward to other creations, ive been so busy lately with other things that ive had to put my carving on the back burner! hopefully summertime now i can get back into it. Just checking some of my carvings lately...those pesky wood cracks/splits everywhere!!!

[@TayMarie23]

It’s such a pain, logs are so much heavier then they look too! Definitely a long but needed day and I reclaimed about 15’ of yard space which is huge! And yes there is no escaping the wood cracks 🥲

[@nospin1394]

This content is good too for change of pace. I had a good chuckle, found it ironic when you apologized for your neighbors chainsaw noise. New to your channel, keep up the great craftsmanship! Already bought the respirator through your link, looking forward to trying out the quick latch.

[@juleswins3]

Those larvae look like really good fish bait!

[@TayMarie23]

I bet they are! Luckily, since I started debarking my logs, I have seen many!

[@warrenpeace7095]

Love this behind the scenes video. You entertained and taught me a couple things at the same time. I’m going to go watch all your videos now. My first bear (done yesterday) would have been even better had I watched your videos beforehand. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@TayMarie23]

There is so much more to carving then the carving part! To keeping up with the enormous amount of sawdust build up, the cut offs, maintaining the tools, sharpening chains, mixing gas and oil, debarking logs, drying logs, ohhhh the list goes on and on! I think the carving part is the easiest part 😂 Welcome to the world of chainsaw carving, I hope it brings you as much joy as it does for me! The carving community has been amazing, some of the sweetest people I have ever meet 💛

[@KimPhaneuf]

Great job hard work looks good

[@Wood-lq7pv]

Same as me lol I started last year too and was baking in the sun I just moved under the trees lol ..I was so into learning last year I didn't think about moving out of the spot I started in lmao😅

[@TayMarie23]

Hahaha I feel that! The shade has been game changing! However the bugs are worse down in the shade! We have BAD misquotes and black flies here in Maine, I’m eaten alive every day! I miss winter all spring and summer haha!

[@Wood-lq7pv]

Ha lol I miss summer all winter here we are really lucky idaho we'll up north here is really easy with bugs not bad at all Maine is neat looking I'd love to see it someday I like the different trees

[@Wood-lq7pv]

Love watching your stuff girly you rock stellar art 🎨 🤘😁

[@diegoalfonsoperezrojas250]

I really like learning from you, I speak very little English but I enjoy your videos thanks you are amazing

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you, I’m so happy my videos have taught you things! 😊💛

[@rickrick7309]

Your a great person an you do a fantastic job carving

[@TayMarie23]

I appreciate that 💛

[@shingabiss]

I like your manner and wit!

[@chuckgurley4048]

Thanks for posting the links. You’re doing a geat job.

[@MasterpieceCarvingswood]

Thanks you are amazing

[@CreationDust777]

Wd 40 works real nice for Wood worms. The little straw stuffs real nice in their hole. Couple little squirts of penetrating oil, no more worm

[@TayMarie23]

I have heard of this! Luckily most of my logs come debarked and I’m much better at staying on top of debarking my logs that arnt these days! So the borers are rare but never gone 😂

[@Tator83]

Hey sis.love the videos. Get some forks for the skidsteer.You won't regret it.

[@TayMarie23]

It's not my skid, I only have it for a few months a year because my dad rocks 💛 But once I have my own machine, I will 100% be getting a log grapple and forks!!!

[@CreationDust777]

You should have a peavey. Saves a lot of back strain, and gives more leverage when handling the logs. I've found every one I've had at yardsales. Best of luck

[@TayMarie23]

Funny you say this because I was just at the local antique store the other day and I always keep my eyes out for a peavey! They are so useful!! I keep my eyes out on fb market place too, yet to find one! Definitely a must have though!

[@LagoonofMystery]

Do you ever spray your logs with a borax solution? We get powder post beetles down here and that seems to keep them away--also reduces mold and fungal growth.

[@TayMarie23]

I personally have not but I know people who do! I try to stay away from chemicals when ever possible since I’m throwing stuff in the air while carving and so many carvers get respiratory issues, I’m trying to avoid that! Luckily all my logs are debarked since I get them at a local sawmill now and no bark means no bugs! I was still scavenging for logs at the time of this video so they always had bark and if they were older logs they would be filled with borers! Live and learn!

[@NorAlb_Chainsaw_Carver]

Just discovered your channel! Great work, I'm jealous af! Cheers!

[@DAS-Videos]

I think you could use one of those cheap Chinese mini excavators for moving logs. I ended up getting one, mostly because I got old :-/ but I like it.

[@scottnei1377]

Amazing how you handle those huge logs. Who needs the gym? Haha!

[@TayMarie23]

Hahaha seriously! I always tell myself that I get payed to workout for a living 😂 Sometimes the carving part is the easiest! Harvesting logs, transporting them home, debarking, stacking them on pallets upright to dry…that along is a feat sometimes 😂

[@Wood-lq7pv]

Those are nice

[@AppalachianWoodcraft]

Great video

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you :)

[@pinkeyswoodshop]

Hey hey hey! I need to ask about something i just noticed hiding in your shop!.🤔 is that yours?

[@TayMarie23]

What exactly are you referring too? 😝

[@MichaelHerrick-qn6ld]

It was fun and if you don't have fun working than you get nothing done.

[@TayMarie23]

Right! I'm just so blessed to be able to do this for a living, even the chore days are better than what I used to do for work!

[@stevenbutler2824]

You need a 4 in 1 bucket tay, makes the job easier

[@TayMarie23]

It’s not my skid steer, I was lucky enough to borrow it for a few months! I definitely need a tractor, my poor back!

[@stevenbutler2824]

@@TayMarie23 watching you manually move those logs would not have done your back any good, I'm glad your still moving

[@stephanschmidt9578]

Yes the Work with Wood is the best Sport ever. It gives fitness and strongness. :)

[@TayMarie23]

Hh yes it does! Carving is great for the mind, soul, and body!

[@stephanschmidt9578]

Ja das glaube ich Dir liebe Tay, wie bist Du eigentlich zum Carving gekommen? Ich mein, es liegt ja sicher nicht Jedem. :)

[@epicweldepicweld5857]

Since you are doing a review may I suggest you work out a deal with that chaps company so that you can get a cut of sales. Say offer a discount through a link below type deal? Ya know ?

[@TayMarie23]

Great idea! I have worked with them a few times, great little company! Actually just got a new pair of full pant chaps sent to me this week to try from them!

[@epicweldepicweld5857]

You seen it before when people have that discount code you can click on? That what you need, why not ?

[@jessekincheloe2719]

They almost look like kevlar riding chaps

Hahaha in a way they are 🤣
