your giveaways are unfair as im in Australia. For example its 7:16pm in Newcastle NSW right now n its 3:16am in New York

[@hanneliediedericks3025]

I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine kzbin.infoUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

[@rjpeters40]

As a retired teacher, I'm reminded of a phrase I used a lot: Errors are critical to learning. Thank you for posting your opportunity to learn! And congratulations to your family on your new arrival.

[@LeonardGreenpaw]

KNow whats better than learning from your mistakes? Being a genius and getting everything right at the first try.

[@udalimb384]

Sounds like you were an inspired teacher. In 7th grade I had an art teacher ask in an annoyed voice, What's your problem? It wss impactful and not in a good way. As an adult I discovered I love making art.

[@malimcallister4659]

15:13 You don’t suck at wood carving you have done way better then I did my first time, I impaled my hand with my tool the first time my doctor said I was very lucky that I didn’t hit any nerves or tendons. 😅 keep up the good work love your builds!!❤

[@jasonbrouse4635]

damm. you got my luck. im re groing fingernails. not giving up though

[@ssmalls5451]

It's the self roasting at the end. This is how we know he is worthy. I'll be here for the next vids.

[@motleybadger1023]

All snakes are excellent swimmers. But this looks more like a sea monster because non aquatic snakes usually have their whole body on the surface of the water.

[@jamingaming9251]

I've looked at some pictures of snakes swimming and they do have some of their body under the water.

[@archgen1]

Sea monsters are cooler anyways

[@Swamp72]

Pythons and stuff can swim along riverbeds when crossing them, I think

[@nickwilliams309]

This isn't quite accurate. Venomous snakes, like a Cottonmouth or Eastern Diamondback will have their whole body on top of the water, they float. Non-venomous snakes, however, such as the Northern Watersnake will only have their heads or front third of their body floating. The rest of their body will be submerged as they swim.

[@Kingkee777]

Snakes bodies are mainly muscle. Muscle isnt like fat and sinks rather than float. So a snake as big as an anaconda would sink

[@corwinweik5224]

I'm just now getting into carving with Dremel bits myself. I learned a lot from this video! Thanks for trying and show us your "failures" Failing is just an opportunity to learn.

[@1Tibs1]

And not to get too comfortable.

[@richfasel1637]

I applaud the attempt. It is always a good feeling to move out of the comfort zone and try something new. Practice, practice, practice, there are only a few who can do something right off the bat. There is a carver on youtube I have watch for a long time ( Stinnett Sticks ) who do a lot of snake walking canes/sticks. I have learned a lot about carving watching his videos. Might help if you ever want to try again. Have fun.

[@carbon-structure]

Hey at least you tried! Thanks for sharing, we still all learnt something!

[@TomLangenstein]

Thank you for doing this! 😂 I'm a relatively beginner wood worker and carver who, like you in 19:18 this project, just gulped and decided to wing it! And I think I'm getting better! Lol I just traded a hand carved cane to a friend for his servics! Consider using a pyrography tool to give details or shading. It's also fun! You can often sand away mistakes if you don't get too carried away.

[@peterthompson888]

As a first carving item its amazingly good the more you do the better you will get please keep carving you have a talent for carving Remember there's no mistakes only a new shape

[@loukalicious]

You are so right! Making "ugly" things every once in a while teaches you the most! It is a joy to watch.

[@littlemonk2610]

I admire you, and everyone else, who tries new things and shares the experience with others. Encouragement is almost always a good thing! My brother used to tell me life was a series of learning from mistakes, just don't repeat the same ones! Bless you!

[@cornflakeusa]

As a rookie carver, I've started carving on things many times and get to a point where I'm afraid to continue out of fear. I had spent a lot of time on something and didn't want to screw it up. Something that sometimes helps me is to put it aside a few days or weeks and come back to it later. It takes time and many projects to get good at it. No one is a great carver after one carving. I keep those first time projects to reflect on later just to see the progress I've made. It's hard when you get down to the detailed work. Like you, I get my Dremel out and take off less wood. That way any screw ups will hopefully be small ones. Hang in there, you do amazing work.

[@IanWilson-es4wi]

I've seen a lot of woodworking videos but I've never heard anyone say that they didn't like the end result. Thank you. It's hard work anyway, and natural material like wood varies in its constituency. It won't always turn out well, but the next one will probably be better.

[@MrsGump]

Hahaha the rustic & unsightly like ur mum made me snort chicken noodle soup thru my nose 😂 Can always count on you JB for the best one liners & dirty innuendos! Makes you the best channel imo ❤

[@waxon7]

Thank you for posting this, you are being real...you do more good being honest and vulnerable, i know you weren't trying to be preachy and I honestly got so much encouragement in my journey. first video I've watched, im a fan for life.

[@browill9]

Even though it wasn't perfect, I'm sure you inspired a few people to try it themselves, which is awesome in itself. Thanks for sharing.

[@Armor3dprinting]

I am so happy you posted this video. I have tried a few projects that never come out as i imagine and over time i can be frustrating watching a bunch of youtubers who havent been doing this stuff since birth succeed on every project. So its refreshing to see the goofs shown. Btw this table is still 1000x better than anything i could carve lol

[@jasonbrouse4635]

i agree. i am just starting. just got my first "palm sander" today. im 49 and dont no anything.

[@bgpappy30]

Rattlesnake, thank you for showing us that you are able to do whatever you put your mind to. I think it came out looking amazing. Thank you for sharing. One love to all!

[@pbjanonymous]

I don't think it's that bad. Honestly an amazing first attempt, and way better than my first attempt at carving a dog lol. This has motivated me to get back to finishing a picture I was having trouble with (way out of my scope of knowledge).

[@Hakuwoodworks]

Holy crap you had me laughing at the end! The Springsteen line was both brutal and appropriate.

[@wengxleng]

I found BM Sculptures a year ago and have always loved the sculptures he made and I think you did a really good job too! Definitely a lot better than I ever could! Would love to see you do more!!

[@lenoragood9238]

Jonny, I write poetry, and at a workshop once, the leader, a well respected poet, told us the most important lesson we could learn from is is: "Give yourself permission to write a bad poem." Obviously, you, too, have had a workshop with him. You've given yourself permission to build/carve something ugly and to learn from it. ;-) Good on you!!!

[@RamboVonDangerSchlong]

It's the Loch Ness Rattlesnake. If you've ever seen a snake swim, pretty much the entire body is under the surface except for the head and maybe 2% of the body behind the head.

[@romeoC9968]

I really enjoy the honesty in your videos, thank you!

[@nick83rocks]

Loved that last dig at Springsteen!! I agree whole heartedly…about him being a bad musical artist. For the carving, not a bad first attempt at all!!!

[@astzfat3319]

A blessing to laugh at ourselves and at life! ... not to take things too seriously.

[@RUNE-66]

The Springsteen reference really made me laugh. Guess we share some taste in music.😁❤

[@Jud_24]

little tip i saw from another woodworking youtuber, when trying to remove excess glue use a drinking straw and you can usually get it in one swipe.

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

Nice "Your Mom" joke at 4:20. 🤣 I use beech here in Australia for carving because it's so soft and takes a finish really well. Not that I'm any good at it though.

[@scottsegaloff8131]

I'm impressed bro weather you fail or not keep going. You did as good as I could. I've been a carpenter for 35+ years. I just started doing wood work and mess up all the time however it's so much fun to me I just try n try again. Keep up the great videos amd don't let idiot comments even concern you. Table looks fine. Yes almost all snakes swim on top the water.

[@DrachenGothik666]

The way you roast your efforts at the end was hilarious... *chef's kiss...* Seriously, while I can't say much for the snake carving--it really is pretty bad--I like the table itself. I carve stone & bone & it isn't easy to plan out pieces, or get what's in your mind to the material when you're still learning, so I think you did pretty good on your 1st try. Keep going, you already know how wood acts under your tools. I think you got this!

[@SakuraBarrientos]

4:23 😂 YOUR MOM. I mean I never know what the Easter egg is and I’ve never tried to find it but I saw this and it cracked me up. 🤣🤣🤣

[@SakuraBarrientos]

Also, RATTLESNAKE. And it isn’t bad like you think it is. It’s the fact that you tried something new that’s bad ass. Plus I’m pretty sure someone would pay for your table. 😊 Congrats on your daughter and how did I not know you’re a retired LEO? My husband just retired in Jan. ❤

[@scrapple8741]

I love it. People never show their failures. I love to shoe my failures. It makes me better and proves that I'm not perfect. Not only do I learn from my failures but the keyboard warriors also give me advice on ways I could have done it better. Thank you for doing this. Looks good anyway. Great job

[@Ron_DeForest]

It looks fine. I have issue trying to do shit I have experience in because I know I’m going to fuck it up. You not only gave it a shot but recorded it and post. You could have tried and lied about it later but you didn’t. That’s awesome.

[@Naztalgic]

Wow!!!! your'e not kidding What a crazy few weeks!!!! Hey when things are down the only way to go is UP!!!! Fantastic carving!

[@jamiejones8559]

That was a great first effort. I look forward to your next carving video. It's not how many times we fall but how many times we get up!

[@bakedpotatobish9069]

Love how the tool ya use says YOUR MOM at the 4:20 mark 🤣

[@chancesimpson6545]

Youd be suprized how much added a little detail improves a project and when making any snake related carvings they never really look good until you get the scales in it.

[@SphinxKingStone]

Glad you still posted it (btw you can just remove a snake, redo a top and you'll have a decent table)

[@eldonrollins162]

I'm going to give you kudos for the effort and taking on something completely our of your comfort zone. I can speak from experience; the one way to make sure you never fail is to not get into the game...of course, it's also the way to make sure you never win. I enjoy your content, can't wait for the next one.

[@rafaelramos1486]

You got a great and caring neighbor. Also great job on the table.

[@EscapeReality94]

Rattlesnake 😋 Is that Jules Winnfield played by Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction i see at 15:54? 😏 great movie! My friend and i secretly watched it when we were left at home alone at 13ish years old 😅

[@mouse6196]

Razor rip wood burners work great for scales etc. I use the to texture feathers on birds. Lots of video of feather wood burning out there.

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

You did well for your professed experience. 1. All carvings look terrible before they are done. 2. The fear of taking too much off never leaves LOL. 3. If you really want t get good Look into Ian Norbury, he has some great info on how to become a better carver. Great Video dude. Don't know how I didnt discover you sooner. Subbed and whatching.

[@tbone12051]

It looks good, especially for your first go at it. I just started learning how to do leatherworking. I understand the struggle

[@sassyyak4954]

leather working is very fun been doing it for abt a year and definitely learned so much

[@Iruko]

That self-roast at the end just got me dude. You're awesome!

[@crimsunred]

RATTLESNAKE I liked The Roast of Jonny Builds Table” there at the end, that was some funny stuff. The new born baby one was quite funny 😂😂😂 Oh and congrats by the way, hope the baby was healthy with no complications.

[@rustymuckybottoms]

You learn by doing. Was this your "Mona Lisa"? No. But that doesn't make your drive worthless. You learn, grow, gain, every time you put yourself out there. Keep striving to perfect your art!

[@iambadatnamingthings3547]

Hey man, don’t worry about failing, most people forget that making hideous things is a huge part of making beautiful things

[@andreseduardotaylormoreno6737]

¡Gracias!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks!

[@Merennulli]

I can honestly say it's the best snake-coming-out-of-a-table carving I've ever seen. You might get some of those paper templates they make for people to learn whittling, but use them with your power tools instead and try that on scrap wood to get your mind around how to carve what you want into a piece of wood. I know you were trying to create your own with your print-outs here, but it helps to start with ones other people have already done before you move on to making your own.

[@rickbrenneman3913]

Rattlesnake! This was very entertaining to watch. All woodworkers can learn from other people's mistakes too! 😅

[@JohnBrown-bx5rc]

I really like this table. It may not be a Rembrandt, but it looks good. Thank you for sharing.

[@AngieWolfK72]

Also retired LEO and I appreciate the effort! Since it’s a black snake just call it a moccasin 😊. Thanks for your service 2*

[@brockmcconnan5396]

Easter egg is at 1:27. Song on your watch is "I've been failing you" by Nathaniel Rateliff

[@josephbrauer2573]

First: thank you for your service. Second: the first time I carved a little bear, it turned out looking like a sick Ciotti, so I did it again. Third: I think the table is a great idea, just needs a little more refining. Some ripples in the water and maybe fangs on the bottom jaw with some scales carved on the Boddie. all in all, the wood you used was a good choice, hard wood may be hard to carve but you can get more detail to hold in it. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@ChrisSmith-yj5fp]

I feel like you might have been slightly hard on yourself 😂. Love your videos and it’s great to see someone post a video where the project didn’t come out perfectly. This kind of video is way more helpful than constantly seeing people who are better than you make stuff better than you can. I think anyway. 👏🏼👊🏼

[@DavidJTooley]

I’ve heard of Black Mamba snakes but not a Black Rattlesnake, until now. I’m still confident that your carving looks better than what I a an do. My kids would ask, “Why did you carve turds into your table Dad?”. 😂

[@Cletus.223]

I've been trying my hand at power carving now for a couple years..My problem is..I'm poor and Kutzall bits are super not cheap..So I have been improvising using sanging drims on my rotary tool..and smaller burrs..lol

[@Cheo24]

Great courage and awesome you just went for it ! Enjoyed your video very much! Look forward to watching more !

[@David-uz9qw]

I wanted to carve Hawaiian fishhook necklaces, had no idea what I was doing. First three sucked, fourth one was one of the coolest I had seen, fifth one was truly unique and amazing. It was fun, and I surprised myself. Do something hard, run the experiment. Life is way better than way.

[@obliveousemoon]

I say, with the snake, remember dimensions and shapes. Small marks can give you a lot of detail. And don't forget, snakes don't look like they have human eyes. :D Great though! Looks better than the time I widdled a snake from a block of wood.

[@rhondakennedy819]

You tried! More than some people do. I'm a maker & learn from my mistakes, what works & what doesn't. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@christopherbedford9897]

Jonny and Bruce: a match made in heaven. Rattlesnake, Jonny - _rattlesnake._

[@JacobE-23]

Kinda reminds me of the graboids tounge snake things from tremors lol. I love the ways you described it at the end 😂😂

[@ElysetheEevee]

"My newborn infant daughter even told me it sucks." This one made me laugh. 😂 Wood carving is tough, honesly. As someone whose only natural-born talent is art (mostly drawing), I've told so many people over the years that any kind of art is 100% attainable. It just takes practice and learning. That's the great thing about art. Some people get a shortcut with natural talent, but with patience and determination, everyone can get to the same end point. Failures really do provide the perfect learning experience when creating things. Then, you teach yourself better methods and perspectives, which leads to innovation and refinement. Everyone starts somewhere.

[@kencross25]

Congratulations on your family's newest addition. Thank you for showing that all woodworking isn't as simple and perfit as most KZbin Woodworker influencer's want you to believe.

Why did you not CNC the raddlesnake? Had fun watching

[@jasonbailey9139]

The Bruce Springsteen line is how I know you really weren't happy with the results, but I love that you embraced the suck and took it as a learning experience. Personally, my success to failure ratio in woodworking is likely the inverse of yours, so I won't throw any shade at all.

[@ednatorres6173]

I enjoy listening and watching work keep going never stop learning

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

I think your doing awesome. I wanted to let you know they have some amazing Vinyl's you could cut them out then stick on his back.

[@jatdesign4495]

I’ll say this, it’s a better snake and carving than I could make. I know for sure with time and many mock ups you can make a better snake table. I learned to do crazy curves in sketchup but it took practice and patience to do it. I even made a sign recently, it’s simple and has many screw and nail holes from changes in the legs but it’s now to what I envisioned and it’s to practicality. You get there eventually it’s just a winding road of success and shotty work but you get there and every piece reminds you of the creativity journey.

[@wildtime845]

I can speak from experience that all artist (of all forms) criticize their work only wishing to do better so no matter how the project looks do just that strive to be better always even if you make a masterpiece

[@debraking7412]

[@leopardwoman38]

The snake looks like the Lockness Monster. I like it!

[@JohnBrown-bx5rc]

Do rattlesnakes swim? The short answer is yes, rattlesnakes can swim! And they're actually pretty good at it. These reptiles are strong swimmers and can move quickly through the water. They often use their swimming ability to escape from predators or to hunt for prey.

[@sheainfinitypaints9533]

It's not a failure, it's learning and I like it.
