Power Carving a Wooden Bear with a Dremel

[@jeanniet.8093]

Have just received a Dremel… so excited to see the magical things that can be created… I ‘m 77- and starting something I have never tried… what fun it will be!

[@LogsCarvingClub]

I’m glad you’re excited! I love to use mine. Make sure to be safe when you’re using it!

Hands down the best dremel powercarving tutorial for beginners. Idk why but compared to others out there, you really make something seemingly daunting into a very simple, step-by-step process.Thank you! I think this will be a christmas gift this year :)

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Thank you so much! I’m glad these are helpful. Handmade gifts are always the most special, let me know how it goes.

[@majkjems]

Okay! I just finished my first bear. I want to do it again....only better. Thank you for the motivation! This is a great place to learn!

[@LogsCarvingClub]

That's fantastic! If you email a picture of it to me I'd love to see the finished product!

I used to carve alot of wizards, native Americans, old men ect about 12 inch tall but I cheated and roughed them in with a bandsaw after blistering my hands on the first couple, back then there was no dremels, I used a utility knife small files and sandpaper but I just bought a new dremel with about every attachment available, I just cleaned up a long piece of driftwood for a walking stick I’m going to carve multiple figures down the whole length except handle.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Very cool! Let me know how it goes

[@mariabrati7202]

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

I agree Maria

[@unmgrad7319]

You do a fantastic job with camera angles and instructions. I’d love to see more carvings soon.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Thank you!

[@mishadoesthething]

I agree, I wonder how they get the camera so close while still seeing what they are working on?!

[@Hs5ab]

I love that you give your hints as you carve. Beautiful carving.

[@richardbarrett4104]

Thats so clever my friend, but do-able thanks. Nice to see so few tools used, it can be daunting for a beginner.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Thank you Richard! I try and keep these mostly beginner-friendly with minimal tools.

[@rogertyler3237]

Those 60 Gritt Sanding Drums Work Good Too. I used One To Make My Spoon Rest.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

That’s a great idea for the spoon rest - I know a lot of people use them for carving and not just sanding

[@leslielauts4343]

Got a phalanx months ago! I begin today using it as an artist tool. You are the very first instruction I ve seen. Excited. Just got some wood. Going to begin my journey momentarily! I'm a sculpture but never electrically!

[@dannydeeds3755]

I bought my Dremel for 3d printing finish but this is tempting to learn too. Thanks! Dremel should sponsor you :D

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Thank you! How do you use it to finish prints?

[@highfish2823]

Sanding I guess

[@dannydeeds3755]

Sanding/smoothing out some edges, cutting supports, polishing. Pretty much what you do with wood 🙂

[@murrayberger4344]

Dremel 561, its really saved me from having to buy a saw

[@Matsersuperkul]

​@@LogsCarvingClubhow do you cut so easy with it? It takes me forever. Technique or my wood too hard?

[@LogsCarvingClub]

@@Matsersuperkul Maybe a mix of both. I try not to put too much pressure, keep it around a 45 degree angle, and do many shallow passes. Some very hard woods though are just not worth trying, and even tough ones I can cut like hard maple take a long time which I mostly edit out of the videos for the sake of time

[@cerenelifozturk4328]

You make it look like its easy

[@LogsCarvingClub]

It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it! It’s also much easier if you have a model to look at while you’re carving

Hi Bethanie! Glad you liked the video. I use the Dremel 8220 for routing so the cord doesn’t get in the way and the Dremel lite for little engravings and very small projects. Usually when I’m doing a larger carving though I prefer the corded options

[@joshuarobertson5305]

Wat are the best bits to use as a beginner

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Whatever you have, I’d start with tungsten carbide bits and engraving bits for a while to get a feel for carving then move to 561 and 562. The sanding bits and whatnot are all pretty easy to work with I think

[@joshuarobertson5305]

Thanks for the tips love your vids

[@petelumley1578]

I carve with a Dremel but I can’t get a chuck that will take a 3/4 mm bits. If anyone knows where I can get them thank you. I loved watching your video.

[@petelumley1578]

@@LogsCarvingClub Very informative. Thank you

[@majkjems]

question: does it matter which way the grain runs? if so-top to bottom or horizontal?

[@LogsCarvingClub]

I responded more in depth to your other comment, but also usually I use this grain direction just cause that’s how the wood is usually cut

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

I've only made one bear since I started 3 years ago, and I made it with a chainsaw, not a great success, but it looks like a bear 🐻😅! I'm going to try with the Dremel thanks! Do you use the flap sander that you can make yourself? I also discovered this thing for water, but for certain wood, including basswood, I didn't like it because we never stop sanding the fluff!

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Hi, I don’t make my own flap sanders, I usually hand sand these or use abrasive buffs. And yes for getting it wet then sanding some woods seem to be eternally coarse, like a recent experience I had with birch. Usually very dense hardwoods don’t do that though. Good luck on the bear!

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

@@LogsCarvingClub You should try the flap sander, it helps a lot and it goes everywhere! But yes, hand finishing is a must!

Great question - I got this at a local exotic wood store, but sometimes I go to a place like Rockler woodworking or get cutoffs from local furniture makers. It’s tough to get thick blocks of nice lumber usually, but try to find somewhere that sells bowl blanks

[@betyil3013]

gorgeous. İs that lesson for begginers or advances? And what do u to suggest brand of maschine?

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Probably medium difficulty, but worth a shot regardless of experience. It took me a couple tries before I started doing them well. I’ve always used the dremel brand, but it’s more expensive, I’ve heard some people prefer the less expensive brands

Great job! I have some questions... At the begging, What type of drill bit did you use for the Bear silhouette? Is it the one generally used for flat cutting? And do you recommend any other bits from any other brand that work with this dremel tools? My English is too bad sorry if i made a mistake whit the writing... blessing from Costa Rica!

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Hi - I used the dremel 561 I believe for the silhouette. Other than that I have most bits I use linked in the description, some are other brands. Thanks!

[@jayking3898]

Amazing, thanks for showing me how to get more out of my Dremel, I have a long way to go. Doing the carving you do, approx how long would a burr bit last you, just curious as to how fast they wear out, I know you can’t give an exact, but how many bears for example could you do with one burr bit? Thanks again. Ont., Canada.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Hi Jay, it depends on the bit but most last a very long time. For example I’ve roughed out dozens of similar animal carvings with one kutzall extreme flame burr without getting a new one, the 561 and 562 are also very durable, I’ve only gone through a couple of each of them. Some bits don’t last long like the sanders or grinding stones depending on how you use them. You’ll end up getting a feel for each of them as you keep making carvings

[@jayking3898]

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!

[@LogsCarvingClub]

No problem!

That's awesome. I have a rotary tool and had no idea what some of those bits were used for.

This might sound like a dumb question but how do you keep your drawling on the wood

[@LogsCarvingClub]

I used white glue to keep the template on there, then used a regular pen to draw when I needed to. Sometimes if I carve it off I’ll redraw it with pen (not sharpie though since those bleed into the wood)
