    Thanks!!

11. So then if I understand what you're saying is, take small CUTS not deep gouges.

12. Very good tutorial for those starting out

13. first time a youtube video's animated intro has impressed me

14. James, I might suggest that you stress at the beginning of all of your carving videos the single most important and very first skill anyone interested in woodworking in all of its forms needs to learn- how to sharpen and maintain their tools. I know you have done videos on it, but it is still very much worth while stressing all the time, because as we both know there is nothing more dangerous to the novice carver than an almost sharp blade or gouge/chisel. Your viewers will thank you as will their fingers! After all, every time you teach about power tools you stress safety glasses, etc, right?

15. Your straw analogy is AMAZING. This will really help me to visualize how and where to cut.

16. Fantastic video

17. I have long wanted but never actually spent the time to learn how to do this, and this video was extremely educational. Thank you for putting it up. I have a small design that I want to carve, only a couple of inches across, but I had zero confidence that I could do it before watching just this video.

18. Thanks!

19. Great video!!!!!! You are an awesome teacher and illuminated the right points perfectly. Big fan now ?

20. Nice video

21. I usually can't stand the how to videos with a lot of talking. I mostly wish they would make the videos silent. Everyone gets so long winded. Like their talking to a child, or their just full of themselves. Maybe I'm just an ass hole,idk. But this one was excellent. Thank you.

22. i was trying to concentrate on what he was saying but keep getting distracted by the amazing tool rack behind lol. What a rack.

23. I'm just starting in wood carving…I wish I had watched this video earlier

24. make me happy to support … no thank you effort

25. This brief video offers guidelines I have never seen in the many woodcarving tomes I have read. Good on ya.

26. رائع

27. Does anybody know where I can get good advice for a beginner carver in an urban setting? Meaning, I live in an apartment, no shop & am looking for advice on best type of clamp to use on an indoor table, tips for that work environment, such as managing debris, etc. If you could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. Zero prior experience but dying to try it.

28. James, it helps when you have a bit of skill as an artist. 2 D looking like 3 D. Nice tutorial sir!

29. Thanks for the lesson. I am retired as a Graphic artist but I still do paintings in acrylics. i regret not seeing yours or having any instructions on carving in my life until this morning. I have tried to do wooden relief carving four or five times during the past fifty years. i really wish I had help before especially since visiting Florence Italy.

30. very very very good of job
