How to make a sun dial tutorial - carving the oak beams in the studio

Now that the wood has been hewn from the oak, it's time to start refining. This is a long ol' process in which I need to gradually carve the oak for both sundials into some form of geological formation.
Wood working and wood carving is pretty new to me so my skills aren't particularly refined. However apart from nearly losing a fingernail and getting minor RSIs it's actually quite a soothing process. Anyway there's a lot of work so this is only part one of the process...

Well, the algorithm put you in my recommended list. I like the details in process and thought process, but I have to say I mostly skipped ahead. I am deeply in the list of folks that wants to see the end product before I watch the whole video. It does two things for me as a viewer who actually makes things 1) it let's me anticipate your techniques and then learn new things when you vary from that and also allows me to introspect the question "was my way wrong or just different?" 2) avoid watching stupid clickbait better suited for tiktok that fill the subreddit r/diWHY
So, not sure who your intended audience is, but seeing that you were brand new I thought I'd offer my two cents. Will be watching the next few videos regardless. Good luck!

Thanks man! Yeah TOTALLY new at this - all points very welcome! Tbh it started as kinda just documenting one bit and then got carried away. I’ve also only just finished them so kind of found making the videos was a useful way of driving me onto the next process / only have the concentration to edit a bit at a time at any rate - thanks for watching hope the final reveal will be worthwhile!
