Chainsaw carving tips and tricks 6 making hands and claws, basic instruction. Plus added bonus!

Here's a fun video I made, laying out the basics of claws, tallons, hands or feet. Bigger is better in this case, but you can simplify, and change technique, or style as needed, when working smaller.

You do amazing work. I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you.

[@badasswood]

Thank you! Im hoping to get more serious about videos... been mostly for fun the past few years...

[@osmanerinc7316]

Öne world "AWESOME" 👍 Salute from Turkey👋

[@goblin20101]

Great video

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Cool carving I like all the detail .

[@TheTrock121]

My mind is blown! You get more detail w/ a chainsaw than I'm getting w/ a dremel trying to make a chess set.

[@badasswood]

Lol... thanks, it's all in practice...I think of the art side of carving more like a martial art, than a creative art, it's all in the moves , efficiency, and purpose with direction.

[@youremybiggestfan]

Very beautiful and inspiring..im into making art and i use a chainsaw daily.. but ive never really used the chainsaw to make anything like this. Its amazing

[@beaustjohn2342]

Wow! Incredible work...

[@jesusc.b6327]

[@haroldarmstrong6288]

This is a cool video I've been debating the whole claw hand thing for a while I love it thank you

[@mikehellekson]

That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! You have serious talent!!

[@badasswood]

Thank you, gotta enjoy it some times!

[@M5tworude]

Inspiring. I'm staying at my off grid cabin in Alaska, I'm going to try it out.

[@kreardon16]

Very cool

[@seiwa5203]

Beautiful

[@badasswood]

Sorry about the crappy, loud music, I'm not much good with technical stuff, or editing ,the editor I use only allows use of so many times,and once edited and published, it's all in one format, and very difficult to change. I'm trying to use the KZbin studio app to change it, but that's a very limited approach. KZbin won't let me down load my own video,so that I can re edit it properly.

badass

[@jhomer38]

awesome video. how often do you go through chains making a piece? looks like using it to grind would wear it down. just wondering

[@badasswood]

Not sure what you mean by grind,. no, they don't Dull quickly, because the saw oils well, and I use wood that goes through a process to have clean wood.

[@badasswood]

Good question though... the side ways cut is a very regularly used technique in chainsaw carving, its easy to ruin your bar tip by going too fast, or pushing in too far...I have videos on that subject on its own...

[@jacobp9767]

How did you change the sprocket on the makita?!!!

[@badasswood]

Its explained in other videos,its not easy, its a drum sprocket, on floating clutch spring washers...

[@CrazyBoysCrazyToys]

Where did you get the 1/4inch sprocket for your makita saw

[@badasswood]

Made it from parts, and frustration. Used a rim sprocket,on a turned down Makita hubb, the spring clutch preasure plates on the Makita hubb are what holds the sprocket in place,difficult part is turning down the o.s. spline for the 3/8 pitch to accommodate the rim sprock and stay centered. Then putting the preasure plates back together is nothing short of a wrestling match with a pissed off squirrel😂🤣🤣 but it can be done, and well worth it if you succeed😁

[@user-hq8kq3xk8m]

Класс!!!

[@kunkelandson]

music is way too loud! I'd rather hear your comments better.

[@badasswood]

Yep,it doesn't do what I ask it to do in the editor, lotta stumbling blocks in learning how it translates across, lotta good videos ruined by power directors provided music,I've stopped using their music altogether. It comes out nothing like it shows pre publish.

[@abegawthrop8299]

Music is terrible, had to stop watching

[@badasswood]

Sorry about that, editor volume control, and timing doesn't keep true through publishing. Sadly I am forced to stop using any music altogether,because of so many good videos ruined by the provided music, and lack of sync with what I'm seeing in the editor dashboard. Sorry about that.
