Hi Matt. Thanks for your videos, I'm a beginner and would love to learn something. Once I cut out an eye like yours, I'll have a beer for your health. Thank you once again. Martin. Czech Republic

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Martin. Yeah eyes are difficult, but practice will get you there. 👍

Something very special about your channel and your vocal deliverance. Extremely therapeutic and educational. Not sure it's a marketing thing but there are very few bur sets that have all the necessary burs for carving. I have 3 or 4 boxes and the obligatory flame bur but still feel like I need some of the more aggressive aluminium burs that seem to be less common in the variety boxes.

[@MattCarves]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for your kind words. Yeah one day I should try out those aluminum burrs. Cheers

[@samueledemarco797]

Thanks a lot for your tips! As a very beginner i really find them useful! But i just realised that my (not dremel) rotatory tool is really bigger than your dremel, so it is not so comfortable to handle, but i think i will manage to follow your tips anyway! Thanks a lot 😊🎉

[@MattCarves]

Glad to hear you are finding the tips useful and adapting them to suit your Rotary Tool. Happy Carving Samuel. 👍

Matt, The partially finished lady which you featured in this video was a beautiful piece. Do you have a video showing the process of carving that particular face? Would love to see that one. Thanks and best wishes

[@MattCarves]

Yes I put that video on the members site, I actually carved that one from a Male face to a female face. I am just starting to carve female faces so could be some making it onto the main channel soon. Cheers

[@jayc3110]

@@MattCarves thank you. Female faces are very difficult to carve. Especially beautiful female faces. Best wishes

Great DREMEL tips!

@@MattCarves Dear Friend, I'm in Cuba, this communist country not sold DREMELs but I have a 3000 and 4200 models, and too following you and learning!

[@MattCarves]

@@cubaexpress cool, great you have managed to get hold of a couple of dremels. Have a great day 👍

[@AllenMingis]

Great points Matt. I have a question I hope you will answer. I only have a very small shop area. I can only have a scroll saw or a small bandsaw(tabletop). Which do you recommend for blocking out carvings? I do nothing large. Thank you

[@MattCarves]

Hi, I would probably recommend a band saw as it's more versatile. One thing I use the band saw for is cutting bigger pieces of wood down to smaller sizes. Actually I think this is a great video idea, I am going to make it this week. Cheers for the great question 👍. Stay tuned for that video.

[@AllenMingis]

Great thank you!
