  • Thanks a lot , now I know it might look stupid but basic normal toothpaste is a good alternative for sharpening of knife on leather as well for those like me who don't have access to the proper material.

  • i DID learn something, the green compound by zam seems really cost effective, next time i need to buy some more stropping compound that is what I will go with. Thanks Alec!

  • 2 mm is something that I truly need to know as I'm making my own tools knife gouges and chisels. I did buy a cheap set to get some ideas about handles and length of blades and curve as design follows functions I'm starting out with 3 each, then testing out to improve and at least have great handles that fit myself As a Blacksmith hobbyist, I'm confident in at least suitable for myself as it's costs a fraction of most tools that would work Thanks again, Alex Like your Satting Bull video too

  • I have a one inch detail knife I haven’t used in months. I carve with a inch and a half or two inch. I use a spoon knife to hollow out the back of Christmas ornaments

  • I love the shout out to Beavercraft. Too many people like to dismiss them in the knife making companies. I think, in part, because they sell some starter kits. They are doing a lot to make carving accessible. I’ve been pleased with my Beavercraft knives.

  • I'm a little flustered that hard wood carving seems to be avoided. If the topic came up, I suspect that tool steel would be a big factor. Maybe I'm stupid.

    @clintstinkeye5607@clintstinkeye56073 ай бұрын

    • Nope that’s really smart. If you read knife steel nerds web blog he does deep dives into the different steels. Most wood carving knives are made with low alloy steel because it’s cheap, easy to harden and shape. It’s also one of the worst for edge retention and toughness, the traits most valued by a knowledgeable carver.

      @woodrocksandplantsandstuff721@woodrocksandplantsandstuff7213 ай бұрын

    • The steel is super important ! Equally important is the slightly broader grind angle used on the blade for harder woods!

  • Is there like a beginners kit for chisels? I carve stone and want to do some wood carving. I use mostly rotary tools for my stone and will for wood as well but would also like some chisels to get me going. Is there somewhere I can find a beginners chisel kit? Or what would be some primary hand tools you'd recomend starting out with.
