Hand Tool Wood Carving

[@WoodByWright]

Sweet work there man. Lot of great information. love the spoke shave collection!

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thanks James, I got tired of working on videos for weeks on end so I just shot it with two cameras going to give it some movement and keep it bouncing then threw it together. We should do another collab soon ;)

[@ericluba6287]

I have watched hundreds of woodworking videos watch them everyday and this one video has given some of the best advice yet I got into woodworking truly about 8 months ago Granite all I make is jewelry boxes stuff like that small stuff and lately all I can think about is the next expensive tool that I need to get and are really don't need it when I should be thinking simple

[@bearkatwood6354]

Jewelry can be trickier than furniture. The attention to detail has to be there more. Thank you very much for watching.

[@ericluba6287]

BearKat Wood thank you for making videos people like you and James Wright are the ones that are helping me be a better woodworker without you guys I probably wouldn't be in to it as much as I really am

[@bearkatwood6354]

Awesome comment, thank you very much. People like you keep me going ;) Thanks a ton!!

[@sendingforth]

This is a great video for someone new to woodcarving. Thank you for sharing.

[@joncarroll2963]

Great video! Was like I was sat beside your bench hanging out. Thanks!

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thanks for swinging by..LOL

[@aviarior.j7962]

hola. amigo te felicito trabajas, muy bien la madera. saludos 🇨🇱🇨🇱👍

[@Elderos5]

Nicely done! This reminds me of the Queen Ann desk project I made years ago. Being new to wood working and carving, I ended up using a dremal with a cutting bit for the shaping of the legs and claw foot. Anyhow, good video.

[@strange-universe]

You do fantastic work!

[@bearkatwood6354]

Very kind of you to say. Thank you.

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

Never a straight line with you! Looks great!

[@ShogunJimi]

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Shogun-Jimi Don't get into to big of a hurry my birthday is in march than I have to LEARN how to use them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 😂😂😂 and at my age 😂😂😂

[@bearkatwood6354]

Right on Bob, can't wait to see what you come up with. It is very addicting.

[@bearkatwood6354]

I look forward to seeing what you guys do, I like the back and forth you have had. Good luck.

[@rick91443]

Thanks for the video(not even finished watching,) and ordered the shinto rap from Amazon(maybe they should thank you too.) Will be attacking a tradional Norman continuous hand rail when I attempt(am an amateur, just ask James Wright,) to modify the stair case in our old farm in Normandy. What an aide this tool should/will be! cheers...rr

[@BDM_PT]

Hi there from Portugal, Nice Technics :D Obrigado(Thanks)

[@vermithrax2571]

This is the video you should have done when you can put an amazon affiliate link in the description. That program can be very lucrative. Love the work btw, look forward to more project videos.

[@bearkatwood6354]

I would love to learn how to make money doing this, but I think I am a bit too lazy ;) while you can get some of the things I use from amazon, most come from boutique tool makers. Thanks.

[@chadderaps]

You should do a video on how you setup the boggs spoke shaves. I have a hard time getting those things cutting right :) You do amazing work.

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thanks, I was a little surprised that you have trouble with the boggs shave. I didn't need to tune up any that I have gotten. I will try to do a video on tuning up a shave soon. Thanks again.

[@hspringsteen]

Thanks for sharing

[@ВитражиМакиша]

Wow? nice!!!

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thank you.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Do you use power tools for gross removal? Hours? How many in sculpting the chair? Thanks!

[@bearkatwood6354]

I do like to use power tools when I am roughing out the parts. I like to call it lowest common denominator woodworking as "Hybrid" is over-used ;) Get it done the most efficient way possible, if that means power tools, great if not do it with hand tools which can sometimes be faster. The hours vary for each project, like this one will probably be around 30 hours total. Thanks for watching.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Thanks! Looking for a half round spoke shave I found Kunz??? on Amazon. Criticism was needed a lot of fine tuning. Price was good, Also checked out Curtis Buchanan.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thank you.

[@tonyy5482]

What sort of acid was that - "for livening up" files? BTW A couple of problems having "a surplus" of tools: keeping them all sharp, adjusted & rust free and ii. being able to choose, find and grab the optimum tool for each job (i.e keeping them all at hand). Everybody loves card scrapers - there is hope for mankind yet!

[@bearkatwood6354]

you can soak your files or rasps in muriatic acid for a few hours, but be careful to do it outside or with good ventilation.

[@tonyy5482]

Wow, that was quick! Thanks. I've never heard of muriatic acid but I looked it up and it is hydrochloric acid, which I am more familiar with. Never heard of this technique before but I'm thinking this must work like acid sharpening of fishing hook. I'm wondering if oxalic acid - sometimes sold as "wood bleach" as it helps remove tannin stains - would work; I gather is fairly mild - compared to say hydrochloric acid - but stronger than vinegar (ascetic acid). I suppose concentration would be a factor too.

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

Just an FYI: You can generally find Muriatic acid where they sell swimming pool maintenance supplies.

[@revhbateman]

I would like the link to the channel you recommended. Thank you Enjoy your channel

[@bearkatwood6354]

Oh, of course. I will also add it to the description. Thanks. kzbin.info

[@harmonj3]

Can you add links to some of the tools you mentioned?

[@bearkatwood6354]

I have added links and thankfully I looked up the one rasp I spoke of "Swordfish" I found them on a new site to me internationalviolin.com so I am excited to see what all they have. Thanks for watching.

[@josephKEOarthur]

how much do you use drawblades (draw knives?)

[@bearkatwood6354]

Sadly not as much as I would like, They are an incredibly effective tool. I do use them quite a bit for roughing out work, but I would like to get in the habit of using them more and learn to use them with the finesse of Peter Galbert. Doubt that will ever happen, but I can hope. Thank you for watching.

[@josephKEOarthur]

Yeah im looking at tools like Drawblades, other planing type of hand tools. - thanks!

[@josephKEOarthur]

yeah i always like to see the old school traditional tools used. - but on that other side most of my tools are all Makita (cause of the internal cleanliness of them);

[@pyrojarhead23]

To add to your tool list, the tool and die world use riffler files to assist in the sculpting of dies; although I have never used them on wood, I don't see why they wouldn't work. Here is a link to the Mcmaster page on them: www.mcmaster.com/#hand-files/=16iabnu

[@patclaar8090]

I must say that “pepe amazing plan” (Google it) is a wonderful woodworking book. Both beginner and a few experienced carpenter can gain lots of general information from this reading material. I`ve been very surprised how often I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and also salvage spots.
