Carving Techniques, Volume 1: Overlapping

[@Solemn_Kaizoku]

This is my first video of yours. I have to say, I've looked through several channels for stone carving, and you're the first one who really seems to know what he's doing in the tutorial. New sub.

[@daopadilla5036]

Really enjoyed your video. I'm going to begin carving my first rock tomorrow. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

[@ladybug2663]

Ok this is prolly the best explanation for different bits I’ve seen. I’m new to this n it was a great help. Thank You

[@ehlokeay]

Thank you for taking the time. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain ;-)

[@wossified7687]

I cannot thank you enough for starting a series like this! I have been struggling to figure out what all the different burrs are the most useful for and HOW to use them. You explain what you are doing and why you are using specific burrs so well. Am really looking forward to this series. Thank you, thank you!

[@TheoKellison]

I'm very glad that the information was helpful for you! 😊 it can take a lot of trial and error to figure out how to efficiently use each burr, so I will be detailing the uses of burrs in an upcoming video! 😊

[@JeffEarnest]

Thanks for the info I see you have had these out for awhile just started cutting so I will watching when ever I get the time Thanks again.

stumbled over the vid and i love it. Thanks for teaching, from germany

[@neilrazdan1457]

This is sooo awesome! I did want to learn to carve rocks. I do have some cobble stones I picked up from river. Some are naturally polishd smooth. Some are more grainear. Now I know what to do with my dremel and those rocks !! Thanks so much for showing us this !

[@jamieeuceda4360]

This video is fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this to help others (newbs like me). :) Your videos are way more helpful than others I've seen because you show the burrs and talk about why you are using them and to what effect. Thank you so much! I hope you are continuing this series.

[@jewellerymagic]

Thank you. You explained brilliantly and showed which burs etc to use without going overboard on explanation. Feel confident now. I make Sterling Silver jewellery but loving the concept of carving gemstones. From Brisbane Aussie

Just came across your video!. I'm wanting to start stone carving when I know what tools are needed the most. I notice that you don't use water. I thought that was too hard on the bits. Thanks, and yes I subscribed right away!

[@timeenuf4200]

Thank you for all you are doing to save us newbie carvers time and money. I just got my new Dremel and I'm so excited to start using it. Your contributions help ease the uncertainty in getting started.

Well thank you so much!😄that truly means a lot!😄

[@donnalantz7981]

@@TheoKellison you are very welcome. You had a soothing voice when you are doing.your tutorials. All I have that I can do right now is sit and watch TV, movies and KZbin. I am awaiting surgery to fix my heart. Not allowed to do anything that raises my heart rate. So when it does start to go up I watch your videos and it helps. Well yours and a few others, like Katydid. I truly love all of your videos. Thank you for being so awesome. Can't wait to get my orders from your etsy store too. Super excited to see what I got.

[@dianerhymes1875]

Very informative video. You explained where I knew what you wanted to do. Then you showed how it is done. Love it mucho gusto.

[@MvE-bk1xf]

I needed this! Thank you!!!

[@janicewright6347]

This is perfect for a beginner wanna be stone carver! I love the specifics and step by step instructions. Would it be possible for you to provide links to the burrs you use in this video. Specifically the 80 grit ones . I’ve looked online and haven’t found anything similar to the ball, cylinder, or your “ most used” one. Those I have found aren’t aggressive or large enough to get the results you show. Thanks! Looking forward to your next video installment!

[@tedpreston4155]

It's fun to find another carver named Theo! The best way I know to control dust is to carve under a water drip, or routinely dip the carving into a container of water as you carve. Your diamond bits will last much longer too! This is the technique Chinese jade carvers have used for millennia.

Excellent, looking forward to the rest of the series ;) I have worked with inlaying things like a seahorse I cut out of Aluminium into different coloured slate (Green, Purple) and use the vacuum technique for that, otherwise my living room and everything in it, TV etc get coated or clogged with the dust lol.

[@jens_voigt]

thank you for that video and your explanations. Now I'm gonna try it out

[@Nancy4133nope]

This is very interesting watching and learning. Can I ask why you aren't using water when you carve? I see so many other folks using water when they are carving. Love your carving and the info you share thank you so much for this video

Are you using a Diamond Sintered Bur or? Noticed you're not using water while Carving, is it due to the type of material you're carving?

[@c.h.670]

What i miss is some info about the rotation speed when carvind stones, and why dont you water cool them to make sure those diamonds hold longer (or am i wrong and it makes no difference ?)

[@TheoKellison]

I usually only worry about water with harder stones, these rocks are just porphyry so they are extremely soft. Plus their dark color makes my drawn on lines really hard to see when wet so i usually don't worry about water with these, but any other stone i will absolutely use water! As for rpms i use a foot peddle on my flex shaft, and it is always maxed (60,000 rpms i believe this model is). I'll switch to lower rpms when polishing but i have never noticed too much of a difference when shaping. Hope that answers your questions!😊

[@TheoKellison]

I am so sorry for not seeing this sooner!😳

[@c.h.670]

@@TheoKellison Hi Theo, thanks a lot for answering my question, i just ask beause i would love to try a bit of stone carving and my rotary tool has a max speed of 30k rpm. i still have to learn a lot before i can start !

[@georgematys]

@@c.h.670 I believe my Chicago electic flex shaft has 30k rpm and I can carve fairly decent with it and noticed that sometimes just a good bit is more valuable than the brand of rotary tool you use. Hope these little tips can get you carving in the right direction 😆🙃😉

[@mikeulator]

This and our other videos are great, thank you for doing them. Do you apply a lot of pressure when carving or do you keep the pressure pretty light and grind away at the stone slowly? New to this and trying to figure out how to get smoother "cuts" and control the tool. It jumps around a lot sometimes, even going out of the groove that's already been cut. Oh and what do you seal with? Some kind of oil or wax?

[@swishh69]

Great info!!

Are you using a dremel? If so what version?

I have a thousand questions about your bits and the rotor tool itself. First What is a good entry level rotor tool and bits ? I leave it at one question today lol. Your background music reminds me of the song "Gypsy Queen " by Chris Norman (former lead singer of British rock/pop group Smokie) Thanks for this video I will keep an eye out for more :)

What are the tools used? Where did you get them? Best source? I have a 35000 RPM Brummel...the bits?

Very well put together video. What kind of dremel are you using? I am trying to find the best small dremel for carving because I am prone to tendonitis due to the vibration. I need one that is dependable, light and comfortable in my hand. Any information yo can give me would be appreciated. Thank you.

Please tell me what is the hardness of these rocks? 5, 6, 7?I am struggling with my rock carving but soooo want to carve my beach rocks. Living on Vancouver Island, BC Canada, so beach rocks are stunning.

[@joeldouglas493]

Damn, I was hoping I didn't need a wet tile saw to make a stone flower like that or similar things. That thing is awesome. I wonder how many bits it would take to grind that down without one. Do you have any advice on drilling holes in a stone like that using a dremel tool?

[@TheoKellison]

You absolutely can do all of the shaping with diamond burrs, i just trimmed it to save myself a little time!👍 as for drilling, make sure you have constant water on the stone you are drilling and put on a thin and evenly tapered burr. The only thing to note is go VERY slow; a little cut in, rewet, a little cut further, rewet. Otherwise your burr will burn out and lose its grit, or much worse, the burr can break off inside the hole ( which is a nightmare to get out) i hope that answers your question!😊

[@joeldouglas493]

@@TheoKellison Thanks a lot man! That definitely answered my question. The going slow part and using water makes a lot of sense.
