Would it be possible to get a video in the future of how you fix small mistakes? Often I find when I mess up a cut or a bit breaks off I end up ruining the piece by trying to fix it.

[@QSOutdoors]

This is a really good idea. I'll have to figure out how to make something out of this but I'll see what I can do! Do you have some examples of mistakes you might have done before?

@@QSOutdoors a few things that come to mind are when carving smaller details and a bigger piece than you intend breaks off, or if you accidentally chip off a piece of nose, if you make a cut (say for the brim of a hat or helmet) at the wrong angle and it looks off? Hope this made sense and thanks for the reply!
