Beginners Dremel Carving

[@gc-1981]

Hi Matt, i have been interested in this hobby for a while now but haven't really had much time but due to an injury I've picked up some gear to get started, I'm glad to find someone here from New Zealand, who shows how they do things, thanks for ur detailed instructions, i have now subscribed to your channel

[@MattCarves]

Welcome to the channel Gary. A good wood to carve in here is Macrocarpa, but with power tools you can carve most woods.

Thanks for the video Matt . I love your carving style. I’ve been carving into “purging buckthorn” these last few weeks. The wood is extremely hard but it’s the prettiest wood I’ve ever seen. I’ll upload a vid hopefully today.

[@JoeCarvesWood]

I’m a big fan of the longer vids btw 👍

[@MattCarves]

I haven't heard of purging buckthorn sounds interesting👍

@@MattCarvesit’s when people puke down the thread after feeling an attack. I believe china was born in the 90’s; but still, thinking if I can embroider a purse by copying an old medieval design of a dragon strangling a deer onto it in metal threads, it could be my new profitless hobby of making carved pelmets for my bedroom curtains. Since I can’t acquire them anywhere else.

@@JoeCarvesWoodsee how much money and fingers I can lose on dremels and bits; safer than a sliding chop saw at least. I could start with just a stylus, even etch some modesty panels in the glass, before carving a hole out the brickwork to make way for stained glass arches. (If only I knew how to make stained glass that is; can’t be skilled at everything). As frustrating as it is for one’s skills to be too inadequate to realise their visions.

[@timwhitington8330]

Thanks for this. I've been meaning to start using my Dremel for ages. You are inspiring me to really start.

[@MattCarves]

Great to hear bro. Relief carvings like this is a great place to start. Good luck Tim

[@oldncarvingJohn]

Wonderful thanks Matt. Your tutorials really provide a great details. ❤❤

[@MattCarves]

Cheers John, think I went a bit overboard on details. 😆

[@gustavcarlsson6090]

Great work as always. Congratulations on hitting 10k🎉

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Gustav. 🍻

[@lechatbotte.]

What a great tutorial. I’ve broken out the dremel,well some of it but have been using it for carving and cutting things other than wood, so not good or expensive burrs. O live dragons so anything with them I love.

[@MattCarves]

Thanks Linda. What is the material you are carving?

[@lechatbotte.]

@@MattCarves foam and a few other things

[@Wingman115]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@markanthony559]

Awesome stuff Matt, your relief carving is getting better. I really like that dragon, the background pattern makes it pop! 👍👍👍

[@MattCarves]

Thank you! Cheers! yeah I love that background.

[@WedoweeHandyman]

Nice work Matt like always!!

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Joe, that's an oldie.

[@jorggardenier]

[@joecrowe7062]

U could print that pur ink on it and paper

[@carmenfernandez9263]

Qué lindo trabajo!!

[@MattCarves]

Thank you 👍

[@mrk7309]

Wow excellent timing; I just acquired a 4000+flex shaft. Question: are you using breathing protection? I've got a big beard and don't want to shell out for a PAPR..

[@MattCarves]

Yeah I use a 3m half mask. Welcome to the channel 👍

[@frocurl]

I practice on cheap bamboo cutting boards. I get at a local shop that's like a dollar. The bamboo is a little strange to cut or should I say to drimmer on? I also cut up 2 x 4 s used in lumber for framing

[@MattCarves]

Can't say I have ever carved bamboo, sounds fibrous.

[@frocurl]

@@MattCarves I really don't like the bamboo I'm done with it

[@irelandtheemeraldisle4548]

What wood is used for this ?!! Matt

[@MattCarves]

its Salusalu. Probably only available in the Pacific area.
