Carving A Cigar Box - House Stark - Game of Thrones inspired

[@awesomecarsforever]

Another oldie popped up. What a beautiful box. See ya soon Brother!☕️

[@WienArtist]

As a fellow woodcarver, I also enjoy re-purposing found wooden boxes, and carving or wood-burning fancy designs into them. One of my favorites is taking Sache Torte or Imperial Torte boxes from Vienna-Austria (where I live), sanding off their logos, and carving designs - mostly chip carving as you have done here. It makes a wonderful heirloom box for the next generations to enjoy. Thank you very much for sharing your talent and skills with us to enjoy! :-)

[@Its_Me_see]

impressive that! weldone!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you!

[@b00nDAg00n]

Any help on beginning tools (knives, chisels, Dremel bits) would be helpful. Also the good woods to work with and practice on! Awesome work

[@RHumphrey]

I'm not loyal to the company, but flexcut makes some nice carving knives, and I like Phiel makes great chisels and gouges for carving. Basswood is my favorite. Thank you!

[@maryannsterling7210]

FANTABULOUS

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you!😁

[@debragrimes7169]

Love the cigar boxes. Do you sell them and where?

[@maramckenzie06ify]

Nice!!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you!

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent... Cheers...

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you!

[@mariedriskell8752]

Great, very nice. Thank you for the link. How much? BTW; I'm a great fan of your work and GOT.

[@RHumphrey]

I really appreciate that. NFS at this time, I'm planning to do a few more and maybe sell them as a set, but not 100% sure yet to be honest. Thanks again :)

[@mariedriskell8752]

R Humphrey keep us informed and happy carving the set would be great!!

[@DH-lq6lf]

Where do you your images you trace on the wood?

[@setphaser]

if i wanted to teach myself to whittle, which seems like a small less messy job, is ther a knife or chisel or wood type i should try?

[@RHumphrey]

I can't really name a brand in particular, but I've found that a shorter fixed blade is easier to control that a longer blade or a folding blade.

[@setphaser]

R Humphrey i have only just today realised you were replying, i could only see the hearts. so thank you so much for helping me find a way to get started. i will be slowly reading your replies with joy.

[@roby1782]

ficou incrível 😍

[@RHumphrey]

Muito obrigado!

[@kristoffslovijk666]

What type of carving knives are you using? especially the blade that you use to outline your work? Thank you. Great work BTW!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! The knife used for the outlining is the Pfeil #2 Chip Carving Knife. The others are various Flex Cut carving chisels.

[@marcosmarcos5031]

Superbe !!!!

[@RHumphrey]

Je vous remercie

[@РоманТарасов-л8л]

Молодец 👍

[@alexvieira967]

Parabéns ficou lindo .

[@RHumphrey]

Muito obrigado!

[@wolverinebear5357]

Did you make your knives yourself?

[@RHumphrey]

no, they are pfeil and flex-cut

[@thomasarussellsr]

Wow, that's beautiful. Sub'd

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! And thanks very much for the sub, I really appreciate it!

[@limpermeabile]

👏👏👏 😊

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! :)

[@jeffreyalford3548]

How would I commission you to do some work for me?

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you for watching! You may contact me via e-mail at [e-mail].

[@markman63]

Why did you change the hinges?

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks for watching! I just removed them while carving to make things easier. The same hinges were used once I was done, sorry I didn't show that in the video :)

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Very nice. I didn't know you could still get wood one but then I don't smoke cigars.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! If you have a cigar store nearby, they often sell the empty boxes for cheap, or even give them away sometimes.

[@DutchClawz]

Why would one do this? These boxed are not made to be humidors so storing cigars in them for a longer period of time would be a waste. What is the purpose of this box after the ingraving?

[@RHumphrey]

It turns a plain old cigar box (which is made of nice wood) into a treasure chest, or keepsake box, or even a jewelry box of sorts...or whatever one wants really. Re-purposing that which is usually discarded. Thanks very much for watching!

[@melaniecarmen4318]

Awesome, shame when they killed of Sean Bean (Ned Stark) am glad Winter is over and Spring has sprung... Lol... Sharpe (😉) tools is half the battle... Couldn't help meself... 🛠️😉🛠️...
