I tried viral animal carving and carved a snake into this live edge walnut slab table top. This is my first time to try wood carving. Jackery Prime Day Sale is now on! Discount up to 44% off from July 3th to 20th, Best Deal on July 11th and 12th! Check out Jackery Official:bit.ly/3CWtGqH

Good job
Less talk and more work. We're not stupid! You don't have to explain every single little detail. First and last time viewer!
I hope Jack was armed because if those punks were there be another story being told here.
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
I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine kzhead.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.
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.
KNow whats better than learning from your mistakes? Being a genius and getting everything right at the first try.
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.
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.
I've looked at some pictures of snakes swimming and they do have some of their body under the water.
Sea monsters are cooler anyways
Pythons and stuff can swim along riverbeds when crossing them, I think
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.
Snakes bodies are mainly muscle. Muscle isnt like fat and sinks rather than float. So a snake as big as an anaconda would sink
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!!❤
damm. you got my luck. im re groing fingernails. not giving up though
It's the self roasting at the end. This is how we know he is worthy. I'll be here for the next vids.
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.
And not to get too comfortable.
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.
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.
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.
You are so right! Making "ugly" things every once in a while teaches you the most! It is a joy to watch.
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 ❤
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
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).
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!
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.
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.
Hey at least you tried! Thanks for sharing, we still all learnt something!
I really enjoy the honesty in your videos, thank you!
That turned out AWESOME!!! You definitely need to keep powering through because I can see a lot of awesome wood carving projects in your future!!😊
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!!
The last minute made the entire video worth watching.
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!
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!!!
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
i agree. i am just starting. just got my first "palm sander" today. im 49 and dont no anything.
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.
My name is kofi from Ghana.... I love the perfectly done job.
The Springsteen reference really made me laugh. Guess we share some taste in music.😁❤
It looks good, especially for your first go at it. I just started learning how to do leatherworking. I understand the struggle
leather working is very fun been doing it for abt a year and definitely learned so much
A blessing to laugh at ourselves and at life! ... not to take things too seriously.
Burn tool is great for details and the wire loop is great for scales.
I carve birds, for detail on feathers I use a wood burner with a knife edge filed at the tip
I love all the office clips😂
First time? I say it’s a win. Impressive beginning
Rattlesnake. FYI, I really enjoyed your commentary throughout this project.
Some diamondback detail would make your rattlesnake so much more palatable, as well as a little motion-detecting recording of an actual rattlesnake rattle!
One of the best videos ive seen in a while. Very true and honest.
something missing from the internet as a whole, being able to laugh at yourself when things do not go as expected
I really like this table. It may not be a Rembrandt, but it looks good. Thank you for sharing.
Holy crap you had me laughing at the end! The Springsteen line was both brutal and appropriate.
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.
There is a guy on youTube who carves walking sticks often with snakes on them. He uses a burning tool with a shield shaped attachment to burn in the scale of his snakes. You might look for him for future carvings.
You are so much fun to listen to! Love your collection of T-shirts. Great job 🪱🤗
Rattlesnake. I think you did a good job. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be fabulous. I love it.
"RATTLESNAKE" (Do I win the t-shirt?) You could have stenciled parts of the rattlesnake you know....but I ain't arguing with a cop! 😁😎
Wow!!!! your'e not kidding What a crazy few weeks!!!! Hey when things are down the only way to go is UP!!!! Fantastic carving!
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.
You're conflating art as a form of expression and art as a professional skill. You absolutely are an artist in terms of expression, if you're creativity in form and material choices are too mechanical for you to accept the term there, your videos alone are fantastic examples of expression. However... DON'T YOU LIE TO ME! "I'm not a skilled artist", your ability to see the form inside the rough block is legitimately impressive, even if you don't have experience with the tools.
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!
I want to see the second time you´ll attempt wood carving!
TO BE THE BEST ITS ALWAYS BEST TO STUDY “MASTERS OF THE SKILLSET”
Failure is how one learns you did an amazing job for your first time at carving great piece my man ❤👍👊
The snake looks like the Lockness Monster. I like it!
fun fact: every species of snake is capable of swimming, albeit some better than others. you swimming rattlesnake is 100% plausible.
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.
Rattlesnake! This was very entertaining to watch. All woodworkers can learn from other people's mistakes too! 😅
“Not all heroes wear shirts” 😂
Glad you still posted it (btw you can just remove a snake, redo a top and you'll have a decent table)
RATTLESNAKE I checked while watching, Rattlesnakes ARE Swimmers. They swim to slither away from predators and to eat seafood when there's little to no land to prey on.
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.
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.
“Now i’m not an artist,” *continues to create art*
Hey man, don’t worry about failing, most people forget that making hideous things is a huge part of making beautiful things
Best ending EVER. You made me laugh
BRO you literly killed it man this is not no failure man this is near perfection!
Im going to carve one of these...tip. Use a bigger tree slab or a log and carve it down with chain saw & smaller saws so its all one piece & no gluing block of wood...
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.
Please the office clip is sending me 😂😂😂😂
Time to get my router out and play. Stunning piece
i think that table is happy to see me
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.
I appreciate your spirit. Never let fear or common sense keep you from attempting something you know nothing about. That's what people say about me.😄
thanks for reminding us that making mistakes is okay, such a humble man! greetings from Cancun, Mexico
Had a cool idea for the scales. How about cutting a design on your cnc and then essentially making it a veneer using your bandsaw and oscillating sander or dremel tool. Not sure how well that would work but definitely an idea for those of us with nonsteady hands.
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
Damn, couldn't figure out the easter egg. Incredible work as always though. Definitely progress, but not far off from perfection! Keep it up.
🙏🙏
keep making man. love your work!
I think it looks great for your 1st go. Getting out of my comfort zone is my biggest issue.
great effort! keep trying.and thank you for posting
You did a wonderful job with your first craving! Rattlesnake
From 1 artist to another you’re a fucking artist
Reminds me of Nessie the Lockness Monster. Great job, just don't do it again. 😂😂😂
Rattlesnake. Mate I give you 100% for effort. Wood carving is an absolute art and so impressive have tried and failed myself but like anything practice is what it takes and acceptance for a while and lots patience. Have you seen steve snikett his a snake carving genius...
I like it. Better than I could do for sure.
We all have to start somewhere, none of us are good at anything until we try it.
It's not a failure, it's learning and I like it.
For your first time! You did a damn good job. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
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.
I think it looks great. You have a ton of talent, keep it up your skills will only get better. Don’t know if you have ever seen any of his videos but Mike Stinnett is a master at carving snakes. His KZhead is under Stinnett Sticks.
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.
For a first time carving you have done remarkably well.
Great courage and awesome you just went for it ! Enjoyed your video very much! Look forward to watching more !
I enjoy listening and watching work keep going never stop learning
Jonny and Bruce: a match made in heaven. Rattlesnake, Jonny - _rattlesnake._
YOUR MOM!!! I love it!
Overall way better than what I would have done. Like you said you gotta take the failures and continue to improve on them if you want to get better at it. Oh,and that paper with the drawings is just the inner Marine in you coming out. SFMF
Rattlesnake! You got it a lot farther along than I could have! Nice work! BTW, just picked up a Festool domino this week... LIFE CHANGING!
Nice 🙌🙌
The only thing I hate about this video is that you are hounding on your amazing work
Nah, it turned out great, Jonny! Fantastic work! 😃 But yeah, it's never easy to start to learn! And you chose a pretty difficult first step! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Carving wood is hard big thumbs up for giving it a go
