You are a great teacher.

[@gigiscustomwoodsigns5471]

New to wood carving and seen numerous videos and so far your my favorite... Thank You for explaining everything so good...Keep them coming😊

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you found them helpful!

[@josephhemel3]

Hi Cornelius, getting a Dremel for Christmas and watching your videos, I want to tear into it right now and start carving. Thanks for the videos, you’ve helped me get an idea on how to use it. Looking forward to seeing more of you.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Happy to hear that!

[@ederdstark1128]

You really care about what you wish somebody taught you and you share it with others. That's a " Good Samaritan" right there.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you! I appreciate that

[@MrCoffeypaul]

Always nice to watch someone who knows what he's doing!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@hollysmith2697]

I appreciate your way of thinking!

I appreciate that you appreciate my way of thinking!

[@kimsharpzook461]

Trying to learn a new skill. Thanks!

[@Tweetheart67]

Love your videos, love your soul. Keep them coming. I get a lot of good tips. I'm going to share one with you as a Jane of all trades.. Now hear me here...😊 😂 Yes sandpaper is a must-have, another must have is nail files, go to your local Sally's Beauty Supply or whatever you have in your state and they will have any grit, the soft foam ones, the hard Emery boards, metal files, snub nose, point nose you name it. BONUS Emery boards are much cheaper than sandpaper. They help me get a straighter line everytime. Great for getting into little spaces, easy to handle. Every nail file has at least 2 sides, some of them have 4 sides with 8 different grits on one board. You can have all different grits of sandpaper right in your hand and not have to keep switching out either. 🤷 ✌️❤️

[@willkress8309]

Great tutorials for starters like me, well produced videos and quality advice. This channel is sure to take off.

Hey there Tommie! So glad the videos are helping you!

[@TheJofrica]

I like your philosophy about "catching" something. That can be applied to so many areas of life. Thank you for that, in addition to the wonderful wood carving tips!

[@CorneliusCreations]

It most certainly can! So glad you liked the video and got much out of it.

[@TheJofrica]

[@mr.knownothing]

Fantastic tips about the best direction to move the tool and how to rough it up. Love the texturing on both pieces!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad it helped you!

[@RobbyStar1985]

Thanks man! Definitely caught something.

[@kencase2325]

Cornelius I AM new o power carving and have been watching you videos and learning a great deal. you open the carving a perfect star with a shot of your work desk. it looks like you have created a lazy susan to place the piece on while carving. I would recommend a video on that item and also about the benefits of using a downdraft box or table to help with dust control. these would help us newbies! so in depth discussion on the lazy susan and some details on building it. great idea using a shelf liner to help hold the piece in place. Please keep up the great work and helping to introduces us new guys to this art.

[@hughtempleton8640]

Great video mate and very well explained . 😀

[@CorneliusCreations]

[@dorothyvedder7869]

Hello Cornelius, what a fun and instructive videos you make. I've used a few now. what I wonder is the rotating table construction, did you buy it or did you made it yourself and if so do you have a tutorial for it so I can imitate it or maybe even better to spend a video on it so other members can make one too. Best regards Dorothy Vedder Belgium

[@davidmorgan6187]

Could you use a hand held multi grinder for this

[@db4u19]

Loving your tutorials.. They are self explanatory and really in depth.. can you add what's the RPM you keep while operating the flex-shaft. That extra small info will help beginners like me to become more perfect.. :)

[@CorneliusCreations]

I will have a video out soon covering that. The rpm's are dependent on the wood you use

[@db4u19]

Cornelius Creations thanks Cornelius 😊

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you sir

[@deborahcheseldine4349]

I love your videos. Such a great teacher! I have a stump in my back yard that I would like to carve on as a memorial. Can this be done and what can I put on the wood to preserve it?

[@stevpace1]

Please share the information for your rotating tilt table. Thanks!

[@robertbusek30]

Thank you again for your tutorial! I know that you don’t recommend carving pine. What about poplar? Is that hard enough? If not, what cheaper woods do you recommend for a beginner like me?

[@kencase2325]

just an additional thought regarding use of the lazy susan turn table for a sanding or carving platform. Have you considered adding a small drill press vice on top of the turn table to hold the work in place and free up one hand while carving or sanding?

[@murrayoreton4481]

Loving your videos very informative

Hi Thanks for the tutorial I would like to ask how could we ensure that the depth carved is even?

That rotating stand looks interesting. Is it something you've made? My wife heard the bit about covering your mistakes with other mistakes and wondered if I'd made the video! Very helpful ... Thanks

They are easily made but I actually ordered this. Makes things a lot easier! Glad you enjoyed the video!

That rotating angled stand you're using - I can't find that mentioned anywhere. Where did you get it please?

I am interested in the turn table you are using. Did you make it? If not where did you get it?

[@robertheld4947]

Nice video, curious about your carving table with the lazy Susan type top. Did you make it or purchase it somewhere??

[@Impulse_Photography]

Hey, that lazy Susan thingy looks a lot like a cake decorator turn-table, just covered over.

Soo my friend connected a round piece of wood to the back wheel of what looked like a kids bike 🤷🏻‍♀️.. he has the break closed instead of open and turns it with the pedal.. idk it’s really cool though lol.: he works on big wood sculptures

At :30 I like those hatchet heads in the background.

I am new to carving. I was looking for the tool extension you are using. May I ask where you got it, I have small woman hand?

[@diamond6256]

Foredom Woodcarving tool. Do you have to have the kit or can it be attached to a Dremel as a flex-shaft?

[@susie7121]

Did you make that little table top thing your using? If you bought it where.?

[@retiredtom1654]

Video well done! Robert Held had the same question I have. What information can you give us on the Lazy Susan carving table used in this video?

I just got a wen to help me try this out. Along with a whole bunch of wood pieces from Dollar Tree's new Crafters Corner. I was really hoping to find their newest wooden articulated snake. I think that would be neat to add scales to.
