How to Wood Carve/Power Carve with the Dremel Stylo

[@conniehigbee347]

I’m a 68 year old grandmother and I have wanted to learn how to do this for YEARS!!! Thank you so very much!!!

[@CorneliusCreations]

You are going to LOVE it! So glad you are getting a lot from this video, Connie!

[@MitchellMetz-ej9ly]

Hi

[@kittyrings]

I've owned the Stylo for quite awhile, and I love it!!! I do metal and glass..and that has not disappointed me one bit. Anyone starting out or experienced will appreciate the Stylo. I've learned a lot from you about wood and what to carve...You help a lot of folks.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Right on! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@answerchick7890]

I just got my first rotary tool and i cant express how helpfull this was for learning the basics. Its a great place to start out if your interested in basic wood carving.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GurmukhSingh-tz6kb]

Good work

[@ethan_parr0456]

I’m 16 and really want to start carving because my Grandpa does the same thing. Thank you for the tips, a lot of help

[@CorneliusCreations]

Happy to hear that! You will have a lot of fun with carving. Start while you are young and apply yourself. You will be surprised where it takes you!

[@isaacyauk2966]

I had an elderly neighbor gift me his (older) dremel as he was moving out. Intrested in carving and learning how to do that sort of thing with a dremel and without. Your video is a great beginning reference, thanks!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Awesome! I am glad to hear this!

[@cutflower36]

Got a tool like that, never thought about carving. Bought it for sanding bird houses opening. Had it for years. Thanks

[@alicemiller3139]

I am teaching myself how to carve and wood burn. Found your channel and I am happy to say I figured out the bits and how to use on my own, but now with your channel,I can learn more.

[@LK-3000]

Years ago, I tried carving with a Dremel. The darned bit flew off on Bass wood. I thought maybe I didn't tighten it enough. So I tried again. The second time the bit splintered and flew off. I didn't apply very much pressure either time. I had someone check it to make sure it was on tightly enough so it wasn't me. Maybe these days they make them better. But that experience turned me off to Dremel tools. Even so, your video was awesome and you explained everything pretty clearly. Thank you.

Very recently I retired. I am going crazy with so much time on my hand. I have always loved working with my hands. For the last couple of Christmas's my wife had bought me all kinds of Dremel tool stuff. Maybe a hint that I'm driving her crazy always being in the house, hehe. Anyway, I really want to learn how to work with wood on a small scale for a fun hobby and maybe down the line for a little extra cash. Thanks for your videos. I'm watching them all.

[@nikkilesley2525]

You’re videos have gotten me to start a new hobby! My husband has an old style dremel that feels a bit heavy. This one you are demonstrating seems lighter and easier to handle. I might have to invest in one soon. Thank you for your videos. 👍

Few days ago (before I saw this video) I found an old cabinet door, weathered with chamfered edges. I also have an old Floral Stencil book. So I had the idea to use those with my Dremel, to turn that cabinet door into something pretty that I might sell as rustic home decor. This video was a wonderful affirmation to those suspicions. I will proceed as planned.

Hi and good morning!!! I just now came across your video, and dude let me tell you.....I just loved it!!! Love the way you explain and demonstrate how to use the tools in which you use to carve and drill. I love to create but not that all expert on it. So thank you so very much for your time and patients for people like me. I'll keep watching.....stay safe and keep on "drilling/carving" .

Thank you Rosa! I am not an expert either :) Just showing what I know and bringing people along on the journey

i have the battery operated one. from ebay yrs ago. 1 speed..LOL. oh well. but I do own 2 rotary tools..and flex shaft..def need to prcatice.as im not an artist, and need some stencils too. nice video..

[@shastastan1935]

Nicely done tutorial. I was not aware that Dremel made the stylo. I have acquired 5 dremels over the years. Today I received my Ryobi battery powered rotary tool. It's very similar to the Dremel and I really like having the motor in the hand piece rather than a drive cable from the hand piece to the tool. Ryobi does have both types. It's really great that so many innovations have been made for rotary tools over the years. I've become partial to the ryobi battery system and the convenience of battery tools. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with others.

[@ronaldainaire7086]

Great startup video. I have been carving for a while and have considered a much larger flex-shaft tools and cutters. Was shocked by overall cost to get started so have limited my carvings to knives and gouges. I do relief carving so this seems to be the go to tool. I will be getting one. Thanks for the video.

You can also snip a q-tip in half,mount it into your tool, and use it for polishing metal bore holes

Hey ya Matt. That little dremel looks like a lot of fun, it would make it a lot easier to do the detail on my carvings. Also I recommend using MDF when starting out it's inexpensive and easy to work with, plus it looks awesome with a clear coat.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Right on man! Great suggestion

[@guyh.4553]

Basswood (like guitar), here I thought that it was Basswood (like the fish)! Ha ha ha! Thanks for the tutorial. Love the vacuum! One thumbs down for the video is that lack of hearing protection. You protect every BUT your hearing. It's a personal pet peeve of mine as I have tinnitus. I would have to say, a Dremel tool, if you're considering just One, is far more versatile, especially when you need to run your tool a slower RPMs and has a lot of bits that can be used with it including sanding wheels. One "stencil" method to use print off your design (in reverse the way you want it) then trace it onto your carving material using carbon paper. I got my carbon paper at Office Depot for like $5 & use it lots. Good information for us tho!

[@joshrank2183]

I really love your content man. I've been blacksmithing here and there for a little while now and I just recently got the Dremel tools you work with and the full Kit. I've made a few Tomahawks/Hatchets and so on but thanks for the inspiration with the wood working, Sir. Keep up the good work.

Use a small amount of shaving cream and coat each side of the lens then use a soft cloth to gently rub the cream until it is clear again this layer will prevent any fogging and can be reapplied as required.

Fantastic tip!!

[@PootaurStuff]

I'm an instrument maker. I build violins, guitars, harps, and steel guitars. I bought the Stylo 2 days ago. I have several other bigger Dremels, but the are just too big and clunky. Even the flexible shaft one is a pain in the butt to carve with. The Stylo is perfect for wood carving. I highly recommend! I also recommend buy many bit sets. One can get bit sets from Wally or Harbor Freight for dirt cheap. Not counting drum sanders, disc, polishing wheels, ect... I have at least 500 different metal bits. Variety is best, one can never have too many metal bits. Each one has its own special cut. Great places to get wood is on the side of the road or at a beach. Why pay when you can get for free. But if you must, Hobby Lobby, Joannes, and Michaels have all sorts of good wood blocks. Now when it comes to carving, I NEVER carve recessed objects, like in this video. I only carve so the object is raised above so that it has the 3D look. Its just as easy to do, but takes more time, but looks so much better. With me being an instrument maker I also have about 10 sets of chisels from very small (1/8") to large ones about 1". I do all instrument making with absolutely NO power tools. So using a power tool like the Stylo is going to be a new experience for me. Too me, old 2 x 4's are the best practice material. Its cheap if you buy, but free sitting in someones trash pile. Its also soft using pine wood, so easy to cut. With it so easy to cut, any slips can cut out big chunks. This will teach you self control of the tool very fast. Once you master carving it, then go to the more expensive wood like oak, maple, or the best... mahogany. Anyone who has good hand control can carve, it just takes practice. Start out very simple in a design. In no time, you will be a master at carving... Go slow, go careful, control the Stylo like a pencil... Great video, thumbs up!!!

This is my first lap steel guitar but only roughly cut. The final has leaf and vine patterns and done in red. I use red food coloring for the stain, its so translucent that all the woodgrain shows.

I picked up one of these. The first thing I used it for was cutting down some #18 exacto blades to 3/32 for a project I have going. Even with the thinnest cutting wheel I could find it stalled constantly. Compared to a Dotco it's a POS. But you get what you pay for. I actually like the Model 1100 Stylo cordless one from about 15 years ago more. I've had and used Dremels since the 70s. Ones that were actually made in Racine. It seems I've got a habit of picking out power tools that get discontinued. A Ryobi BT-3000 and their Variable speed drill drill press from the same time period.
