Finally, a video that shows you how to "do" something and not just what it looks like when it's done, granted it's very rudimentary but it shows you how to "start".
I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfPgcZ5_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.
Cornelius, I don’t often leave a comment below a video... but when I am impressed, I certainly do. YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER!!! Sure, there will always be people out there who may not use or find your methods the best, but that does not take away from the fact that you did a super job on filming an instruction video. In my eyes, the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched tons of them on all sorts of subjects. A good teacher is someone who can put himself in the shoes of the student and can think like a student. A good teacher has a good "rhythm" to his teaching that captivates and keeps the student interested. A good teacher is someone who explains in words, then shows in practice what he has just told you. A good teacher uses a step by step approach, never going too fast or too far ahead. A good teacher will make the craft look like fun and who is modest, not claiming to be perfect or the best himself. That is you! You are a good teacher! A GREAT TEACHER is someone who makes the student who’s completely new to the craft, hungry for more. Who possesses a pleasant personality, is patient,, kind and understanding, and above all, very encouraging. You are a great teacher! Combine your great teaching abilities with your friendly face and easy-to-listen-to voice and you have yourself a wonderful instruction video made. You are simply awesome and I want to watch many more of your videos. Thank you so much for being that missing link between wanting to do a craft and actually doing it. You are the best!
Wow, I don’t know what to say! I’m really glad that this video is helping people! Thank you for the time to write the kind words. I really didn’t expect this video to get the attention it has. It is very humbling to say the least! Thank you again! I should have a lot more videos releasing soon!
I always learn when I watch you ..Been carving for 25yrs have some very good projects Ducks ,birds ,wolves .horses ,landscapes, faces , relief carving and so on still learning . Thanks Julien
Thank you for a great tutorial, Matt. I have had the Dremel 4000 for months now and haven't opened the case. A friend saw the case and asked me what I have made with it. I was embarrassed to tell them that I hadn't used it yet. I decided that I was going to look on RUclips to see if there were any ideas floating around. There you were. I am going to take it for a test run. I am no longer intimidated because you made it look relatively easy. This disabled 64 year old is going to have some fun. Thank you for the inspiration. Clare
I just purchased a Dremel and learned something new by just watching your video. Thanks so much for teaching me something different. Now I've got to find some scrap wood to practice on.
I'm gettin' ready to dive a little into power-carving, and this was a mighty nice video to see! I appreciate your kind teaching demeanor and overall attitude. Thank you for doing what you do!
The Crafsman!! Hey bro! It is an honor to get a comment from you! Thank you for the kind words. I am a huge fan of your channel! Glad you found my video useful!
@@CorneliusCreations I'm tickled to hear that you enjoy my channel! :D Thanks so much, my friend. And keep up the great work! P.S. I'm debating between a Foredom and a Wecheer at the moment. Either way, I'm excited about the possibility of foot-powered control. :D
I’m sure the WeCheer will be fine. Although, in my personal (biased) opinion, the Foredom has been around longer than I have been alive. And there 40 yr old units still sell for close to $100. I’m a huge believer in them! Not only quality, but there consistency in carving. All my knife maker friends swear by them. Anyways, that’s my 2 cents haha. Can’t wait to see what you make my friend!
you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me
im only 4 and a half minutes in and already your a great teacher, i think this video is going to motivate my son into trying his rotary tool. thank you very much.
Thank you for the video. I bought the dremel stuff about 10yrs ago to crave used it once to crave a crow on some copper then put it away. Honestly I thought I was working with it wrong. But now I may try again. Thank you for video.
Bought myself a rotary tool for my birthday and these videos will be a great help in the projects I have planned. Although my domestic partner can just pick up anything and use it, I like someone else show me how to work with something that knows more than I do and I've never seen him use one of these... So... Yeah. Thanks for the vids. Have them saved and gonna watch and practice with my new toy over the next few days.
Hello from the UK! Your video is everything I needed to see in order to start my projects! Thank you so much! I love the fact you chose to carve a heart ❤️ You are an amazing teacher! All the best! Patricia
I really like your clear instructions and explanations as to "why" you do each step. And I appreciate the way you describe each tool/accessory in terms of why you've chosen it for the corresponding step. Any chance you give instruction on engraving glass for beginners? Thanks for sharing your videos!
I like that statement, “If you’re not making mistakes you’re not doing anything.” It’s a good way to put it. I’m always afraid of messing up so I often find myself not doing anything.
Nice video!!! You know, at 1st I didn't think this was gonna be that great of a video, and ended up actually being really intuitive and well explained especially for people who don't have a lot of experience in this. Very nicely done, and well demonstrated. Subscribed.
A very good teaching video, if you’re not a teacher, you should be. I am and I can see you have a really excellent technique for explaining. Thank you so much.
Man, you just solved all my issues in the first five minutes!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Mine was always running away from me. I'm so glad I stumbled on this video today!
Cornelius Creations Weaponry No, no you wouldn't want to see them. They're disastrous. 😂😂😂 But I'll be honing my skills with my newfound knowledge & when I get a show-worthy piece I'll be happy to post it.
As an artist it's easy to see people on RUclips never make mistakes and get frustrated but I learned from experience to get to that point it takes 100s of messed up failed projects (I make guitars, jewelry, fine wood pieces, and knives so there is a box of failed projects I learned from)
Love the video. i'm working on starting up carving as a hobby and the tips and lessons in your video's are absolutly amazing thank you for taking the time to do this.
Really good video, very informative, and clearly explained. I appreciate the time and effort it takes for you to make these videos. I have owned a rotary tool for many years, always wanted to try carving, but never had time or guidance to get in to it until now. Your videos are just what I needed to get me started. Thanks!
I'm very new to carving with a dremel and I'm practicing on other names words etc. but I have no idea what the different bits do and your videos have been helping me so much thanks
Can you show us how to do something with EACH bit? I want to learn the limits of each one. Also, I assume there is some functional overlap (as you explained with the burrs). Thank you.
Roland Salvato agreed. I’m new to this and want to get into some crafty stuff so a video on the use of the bits and what materials they are for would be beneficial
There are so many bits and attachments that you could do videos about their limitations for years and barely make a dent. Dremels and rotary tools in general are versatile like that.
just found this video, well done, extremely helpful with the bit about the angle for the first burr. Multiple camera angles are brilliant. thanks a lot for taking the time to do this.
I am learning a lot from your videos and am applying it to my work. Your tutorials are very simple and very useful as well. You do it selflessly which is a great gesture. Wish you happy a life!
Thanks man, great video! Regarding creating symmetrical patterns - if you take square sheet of paper and play with it, folding it in half and from corner to corner, you could figure out how to make square, hexagonal and octagonal symmetrical designs. Cheers!
You can compensate for the drawings by doing multiple sketches so imagine pencil markings over themselves until you get a defined shape that you can specify. So your heart shape keep redrawing it upon itself whether the curves of the heart or the pink at the bottom or overall and one big shape until it looks uniform and you can smooth it out. The other thing you can do is you take a piece of paper an outline the shape you do want and use that as a stencil for the other shape so it's identical. You did a great job by the way drawing is definitely a great skill. But creating templates requiring the patience of drawing more than ascetics. It still helps to have a steady hand though. Artist have an ability to draw and envision the object AC which is something more abstract. In this case just finding your template buy compounding the markings until a defined shape is created is relatively simple and effective. You did great in nice video. I love the tips you gave
thank you i have a dremel 4200 and like you said, there is a lot of videos but without teaching. and sorry for my English, i'm a french canadian !! thanks again!
I just came across your U Tube. I am looking forward to watching more. I like and appreciate your style. You are down to earth, sensible, and just an overall nice guy. Thank you. Michael.
@@CorneliusCreations ok i have some picture's i can show you. I just sold one for $300 USD last week. Im not tech savvy so how do i go about showing you the pics?
Thank you very much, you see im just getting into pipemaking and carving, and seeing how my main focus will be very complex and advanced shapes, i am trying to find as much information about carving with an dremel as possible. But there are really as you say not a lot of videos that teach dremel carving, only many videos that show it. I can't wait to watch that video once you upload it!
Yeah, ive been experimenting a bit too, well it aint a dremel, its called a FERM combitool, but its pretty much the same thing more or less. And ive got about 100 extra bits for it.
Thank you for your teaching video, I am a 54 year old man that has suffered through 3 strokes, I am giving power carving a try for the first time. I have a new Dremel with a power shaft so I get to play with my new toy. What speed do you recommend setting your Dremel on while carving ?
I am happy to hear that Keith! I am sure you will absolutely love it! I could sit for hours doing it. The speed really depends on the type of wood. The higher the speeds the more the wood will burn. I suggest somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 - 18,000 RPM's. Let me know your progress and how you are doing after you get started!
Thanks for this great video bought my first dremel with 260 accessories and not a clue what any of them do, tried woodcarving and messed it up going to try your tips and hopefully do better next time
In addition to the mask, you need safety glasses. Lots of wood chips come off with the dust and catches can blow out some chunks. The burrs have been known to shatter and come apart too.
Thank you for the instructional video it's something that I've wanted to start to do on my wood turning projects after that done just to add something extra to the outside. And like you said most of the people that posts carving videos don't instruct you how to do it.
Thanks for the video 'how to', i'm new to this power carving thing so i need all the help possible ha ha ha, i know this video is a year old but i'm going to go back as far as possible to play catch up on your videos, oh and i'm going to subscribe as well so thanks for the nudge in the right direction. Barry (ENG)
OMG, first time seeing any of your vids, I will be subscribing! What got me was that just yesterday, a coworker said what you just said @ 2:40ish. You're not doing a thing if you make no mistakes, thanks for that reassurance while crafting.
I bought the miter attachment with the drill bits at Menards for around $17. Then you just have to unscrew the black grommet off and screw the attachment on, you can also adjust the depth of what you are engraving and it works really well for what you're doing.
Hey Matt, great video. You mention not being able to talk through a mask. Have you considered doing a voice over instead of talking in the video so that you dont sacrifice your health for the sake of a youtube video? Just a thought. It works well for me. :)
This is how people should make suggestions lol youtube is full of those toxic demanding suggestions lol great video and great comment . Much appreciated
@@ChamberlainCodyTotally. Agree 🤗. I swear that's exactly what could change much of the world. How much wiser even, would we be... if we all didn't think we were ALL experts on EVERYTHING? How many relationships could be enhanced instead of destroyed!? Sorry, just had to throw my 2₵ in.. I have a huge heart for wanting to help ppl hear ea other & respectfully respond, & couldn't help myself 😇. I'm always interjecting myself into others (sm) arguments, as well, lol... y'know... to soften their blows 🤪 😬 😊 💜!
@oiewey You are right, but if he is doing this every day or even every other day, he is getting exposed to a lot more wood powder than he is getting exposed to walking to the park, specially if he's using power tools. Better be safe than sorry, constant and long exposure is dangerous. dangerous
Nice video, very instructive. Thanks for sharing. I watched the link to the tool you used. It's quite expensive for somebody who wants to give wood carving a try but is not sure yet if he will do often/like it very much. Are there some (much) cheaper alternatives to this tool? If so, what can you recommend?
I use a couple of relatively inexpensive tools that serve me well. For 1/8"-shaft bits, I have a Black & Decker RTX-6 (about $35) with a Dremmel flex shaft (~$30). For 1/4"-shaft bits I have a Heavy Duty Flexible Shaft Grinder/Carver from Harbor Freight ($50).
B Farley -- how funny! You must have done the same research as I’ve done. Because I bought the exact same equipment as you, several years ago. The B&D was cheaper than Dremel and had a better motor. When you buy a Dremel, you’re paying for the name and people don’t realize that there are other brands that make rotary tools also that may even be better, and that take all Dremel bits and more. Thanks for posting your reply!
Yeah, if I were to do it again I would buy the same tools. If these break, I would buy the same tools. The Dremels and Foredoms are nice, but I'm carving wood, not buying party wear, so cost is important, especially after what I spent on all the Saburr Tooth bits and a few good hand-carving tools -- all that cost 3X what the power tools did.
Great vid! People often forget 2 look @ pawn stores. You can get top grade tools 4 way less. I think the flex shaft is often an important attchement many beginers skip & struggle with weight of rotary tool instead of freeing the hand for more precision & not tire out hand. . If not just stick with dremel or BLUE HAWK ( almost exaxt same as dremel but cheaper) every holiday especially father's day and can get 500 bits for $20 on some deals . I always watch people buy most expensive tools for something they want 2 learn as hobby or new skill ,use it 1x then never again. Start cheap learn the skills & got great advice from an old timer @ a craft fair. He said learn on hand me downs & only buy better tools off the $ you made from what ever you make. That way as your skill improves so does the materials you can work with & get into custom orders & demand higher prices. I would also recommend the dremel work station as it basically turns dremel into almost every tool for diy projects
Thank you soo much for the video and instructions. I have been just going over the thought of doing wood carving with a dremel that I got from amazon India but was not very sure whether I could actually waste my time or make something useful out of it. AFter watching your video, i am sure i am going to do something good. Thanks a ton again.
Just came across this. I was diving into relief carving starting off with gouges and V-tools. Finding some woods that it's a beast to work with and learn. I had an old generic "rotary" tool from being a mechanic I no longer use at the shop. Decided to try it out. Though it's a bit large and ungainly I am still taking a swing at it until I know I want to upgrade to something like you have. Any preferred set ups for straight beginners that are cost effective? One question on my first foray into it I found it easier to control the cut letting the tool run with the rotation of the bit, tends to get spastic on me when I go against it. Is there any harm in this approach? Also want to add in. Looking through your video list- probably binge watch tonight. Absolutely love your "Viking" designs. Life goals!
Hey Don! So glad to hear you are getting into powercarving! Setups: I have a link to a rotary tool for beginners that are around $40 in my storefront link. Direction: the burr will spin to the “right” which is clock wise. You need to angle your hand piece so that your burrs is always moving backwards toward your or to the left. Rule of thumb* pull the hand piece in the opposite direction the bur wants to “run too”.
@@CorneliusCreations - Gotcha! Thanks! Been watching a couple more vids since. I saw your list. I think I may either try and get a flex adapter to fit on what I have ($8) or get that Tack model on your list. That was a head slap moment. After I typed what I did I saw your list and your store. (hopefully you get kick backs). Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a safe Holiday. - Don (from NC)
I love your videos. I have a quick question that might not pertain to this video but I'll ask anyway. What bit on my dremel can I use for making scallops around a wood sign?
This is a god start. I have a Foredom Carver I bought a year ago and have had no luck with figuring out how to learn to use it. I enjoyed 5his tutorials. Any other advice would be excellent. I’ll be checking out all your videos. Thanks
Hey Jared! That’s awesome to hear man. I have my Sam’s club rotary tool in front of me now while working. Be sure to pick you up a handvac and you should be good to go

Thank you for another interesting and really informative video, very well presented and explained, I will definitely give it a try. Take care and here’s wishing you a belated happy Christmas and hope you have a great new year Sam
Enjoyed👍👍 you have come a long long way from your very first tutorial. Doing a great job. PS we do learn from every step and mistakes. God Bless. Keep sending the videos. 😊 😎😎 THANKS
I hand carve a lot of heart bowls for my son,s friends,when i need a outline i just get a bit of paper fold it & draw half of the heart @ the outline then cut it out gives me what i set out for,i do not have a multi dremo but i have a powerline & drive shaft going to get back into power carving because it is great for passing time & gets the job done now i will un pause & watch the rest of your video thank you.
Hey Allan! Than you for the comment! What an awesome gift for your sons and friends! Glad to hear your are inspired to get back into power carving. I would love to see your work!
Thank you for the information, drawing may not be a self proclaimed strong point of yours...but teaching, in the point you're making, is coming in strong, Good work man! peAce.
I’ve done wood burning off and on over the years, and I have Dremel and some tips. I haven’t used it in a long time but I didn’t think about doing the stencils transfer with the paper I use for wood burning till I saw your other video. Why it didn’t cross my mind idk. But good work.

"If you're not makin' mistakes, you're not doin' anything." My new favorite quote!
Old quote I've used for a lifetime #74 years # made plenty
Yeah but not doing anything is a mistake in itself
And that's why I like this video. Cause it teaches you first how to make a REALLY UGLY piece first.
Kathleen Reynolds I cracked up when he said” so what I’m gonna do to counter-react that.” That’s a new one to me. No offense I like this guy’s style
Yup!
I love your comment about the difference between “Showing you how” & “Teaching you”... That’s quotable!!!
Glad you liked it!
Very good instructor who explains the process but in a way that is easily understood. Video moves along smoothly,
Words can not express how much I appreciate the way you impart instructions
Thank you for the kind words!
This is so _amazing_ ! I was trying to carve a bowl in a spoon with my rotary tool this afternoon and I had _no clue_ ! And then this video pops up!

It's good to see what the cutting tools are used for. I'm presuming that hard wood is best for this type of work
I prefer carving softer wood. But some people use hard wood.
I gotta say ... in the first 30 seconds I was already impressed with how you use the 2 cameras and your presentation style. Really enjoy watching.

That’s awesome to hear Tim! Glad to hear this video is of some use!
Your videos are great. You have the only ones I’ve found so far that actually teach the art. Awesome
Thank you my friend!
These rotary tools are great! I have used my Dremel for so many different kinds of jobs.
Janet McPhail yeah beats the hell out of a Water Pick 🤔
Yup! I'm bored ✌❤
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together for us.
Fold a piece of paper, and make one half of the shape...then flip it for the other side, so they are identical... (-;
+Floyd Burdett great tip!!
Floyd Burdett
Yeah I was just about to suggest that tip :) that's the quickest & easiest way to draw symmetrically.
Or maybe buy a cricut and make way better stencils by computer
Floyd Burdett that is a great idea. Then you can trace it onto the wood and work from there
I LIKE SNOW FLAKES:
I'm very new to carving with a dremel and I'm practicing on other names words etc. but I have no idea what the different bits do and your videos have been helping me so much thanks
Glad the videos are helping!
Can you show us how to do something with EACH bit? I want to learn the limits of each one. Also, I assume there is some functional overlap (as you explained with the burrs). Thank you.
Yes, this is on my to do list! Glad you found the video helpful!
Roland Salvato agreed. I’m new to this and want to get into some crafty stuff so a video on the use of the bits and what materials they are for would be beneficial
There are so many bits and attachments that you could do videos about their limitations for years and barely make a dent. Dremels and rotary tools in general are versatile like that.
Thank you. I just ordered my first rotary & I'm trying to just learn the very basics.
You can do it!
Fantastic !!! Thank you so much for taking the time out to show and explain how to do this carving, it has been a very informative video
Thank you Joanna! I will have more videos like this soon :)
I refurbish hammers and make new handles. Now, I am at the point to try something like this out. I already bought the bits for my dremel. Thanks!
Right on!
just found this video, well done, extremely helpful with the bit about the angle for the first burr. Multiple camera angles are brilliant. thanks a lot for taking the time to do this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes this took very long to shoot and edit lol.
I am learning a lot from your videos and am applying it to my work. Your tutorials are very simple and very useful as well. You do it selflessly which is a great gesture. Wish you happy a life!
Hey there! So happy to hear you are getting a lot from the videos! Thank you for the kind words!
Great video. I respect your skill and attitude about mistakes.
Thank you!
Speaking as someone starting with zero experience, this was quite helpful, thanks.
So glad it helped you!
You are an awesome person for posting such an incredible video with such a humble attitude. This made my day. Thank you so much sir
Hey Ryan! Thank you for this comment bro! I appreciate the kind words! Glad the videos are helping you!
I agree. I've been just experimenting with them but would love that.
I’m new to this, bought myself a dremel 4300 for Christmas, can’t draw, but want to try carving in wood… perfect video for me!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks man, great video! Regarding creating symmetrical patterns - if you take square sheet of paper and play with it, folding it in half and from corner to corner, you could figure out how to make square, hexagonal and octagonal symmetrical designs. Cheers!
Thank you man! That is a fantastic idea bro!
Just started engraving/power carving you by far have the best tutorials and ive learned so much from the videos
Thank you bro!
You can compensate for the drawings by doing multiple sketches so imagine pencil markings over themselves until you get a defined shape that you can specify. So your heart shape keep redrawing it upon itself whether the curves of the heart or the pink at the bottom or overall and one big shape until it looks uniform and you can smooth it out. The other thing you can do is you take a piece of paper an outline the shape you do want and use that as a stencil for the other shape so it's identical. You did a great job by the way drawing is definitely a great skill. But creating templates requiring the patience of drawing more than ascetics. It still helps to have a steady hand though. Artist have an ability to draw and envision the object AC which is something more abstract. In this case just finding your template buy compounding the markings until a defined shape is created is relatively simple and effective. You did great in nice video. I love the tips you gave
thank you i have a dremel 4200 and like you said, there is a lot of videos but without teaching. and sorry for my English, i'm a french canadian !! thanks again!
You are doing a good job! Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
Got the passion ignited....always wanted to learn to carve...dig this way of doing it.....you got sub'd....thanks for posting!
Glad it inspired you man!
Only gotten through two videos so far but it's been super helpful. Thank you for all the tips!!!!
Glad they are helping!
I've been looking for such a video for a while now. Thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just came across your U Tube. I am looking forward to watching more. I like and appreciate your style. You are down to earth, sensible, and just an overall nice guy. Thank you. Michael.
Thank you Michael! Means a lot!
Thank you. I just got my 4000 and didn't know where to start.
Awesome!
You're a VERY good teacher! Thanks for these helpful tips! The heart looks great!
Glad it was helpful!
If your not making a mistake your not doing anything. Never heard that saying before but I like it thanks for the lesson
Glad you are inspired bro!
Thankyou dude you just brought my carving skills forwards by a long way! Exelent teacher ! Peace brother
Glad it helped man!!
Awesome video dude. I started carving with a dremel 1 year ago, wish I'd known about this 1st. I taught myself and its pretty much what you are doing.
Awesome man! Would love to see your work!
@@CorneliusCreations ok i have some picture's i can show you. I just sold one for $300 USD last week. Im not tech savvy so how do i go about showing you the pics?
Thank you very much for this video! Will you post a video that tells about the different bits aswell?
Isak I. M. K. No problem! Glad it helped you! Yes, I actually have that on my video list to do!
Thank you very much, you see im just getting into pipemaking and carving, and seeing how my main focus will be very complex and advanced shapes, i am trying to find as much information about carving with an dremel as possible. But there are really as you say not a lot of videos that teach dremel carving, only many videos that show it. I can't wait to watch that video once you upload it!
Isak I. M. K. Right on! Hopefully I will get to it very soon. Have you got your dremel already?
Yeah, ive been experimenting a bit too, well it aint a dremel, its called a FERM combitool, but its pretty much the same thing more or less. And ive got about 100 extra bits for it.
Whatever gets the job done! I have many rotary tools.
Great video. Felt like I was in the beginners class of wood carving, Thanks.
Awesome! Happy to hear it helped you!
Thank you for your teaching video, I am a 54 year old man that has suffered through 3 strokes, I am giving power carving a try for the first time. I have a new Dremel with a power shaft so I get to play with my new toy. What speed do you recommend setting your Dremel on while carving ?
I am happy to hear that Keith! I am sure you will absolutely love it! I could sit for hours doing it. The speed really depends on the type of wood. The higher the speeds the more the wood will burn. I suggest somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 - 18,000 RPM's. Let me know your progress and how you are doing after you get started!
Cornelius Creations Weaponry I am about to get started as we speak, I will either send you a pic or a short video..
Sound good my friend! My email is ccreations007@gmail.com
Thanks for this great video bought my first dremel with 260 accessories and not a clue what any of them do, tried woodcarving and messed it up going to try your tips and hopefully do better next time
In addition to the mask, you need safety glasses. Lots of wood chips come off with the dust and catches can blow out some chunks. The burrs have been known to shatter and come apart too.
Thank you for the instructional video it's something that I've wanted to start to do on my wood turning projects after that done just to add something extra to the outside. And like you said most of the people that posts carving videos don't instruct you how to do it.
Right on! Glad it helped!
Brother I am totally going to do this. I have been wondering for a while how you make that design. Thank you.
Awesome dude! When you are through send me a message on Facebook or email me, I'd love to see it!
Brilliant Video, really appreciate this and the one I watched before. Surely gonna subscribe and watch more. Thank you for doing a series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video 'how to', i'm new to this power carving thing so i need all the help possible ha ha ha, i know this video is a year old but i'm going to go back as far as possible to play catch up on your videos, oh and i'm going to subscribe as well so thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
Barry (ENG)
Awesome! I’m glad to hear that Barry! Thank you for subscribing and look forward to talking with you in the future!

Really want to have that flexishaft thanks for sharing and teaching how to properly use it♥️
Beautifully explained process😊I think I will go and buy those tools and start learning. Thank you so very much
Glad to hear that! Keep me updated on your process!
Cornelius Creations Weaponry sure I will and thanks again😊
OMG, first time seeing any of your vids, I will be subscribing! What got me was that just yesterday, a coworker said what you just said @ 2:40ish. You're not doing a thing if you make no mistakes, thanks for that reassurance while crafting.
Hey there! Thank you, wow that's wild! I am glad you found the video helpful!
good video Cornelius. thanks for explaining the technique and not just creating a video tutorial that just shows someone carving speeded up to music.
Glad you enjoyed it Neil!
I bought the miter attachment with the drill bits at Menards for around $17. Then you just have to unscrew the black grommet off and screw the attachment on, you can also adjust the depth of what you are engraving and it works really well for what you're doing.
Great tip!
Hey Matt, great video.
You mention not being able to talk through a mask. Have you considered doing a voice over instead of talking in the video so that you dont sacrifice your health for the sake of a youtube video? Just a thought. It works well for me. :)
That would be a great idea! I will probably incorporate this a little more.
This is how people should make suggestions lol youtube is full of those toxic demanding suggestions lol great video and great comment . Much appreciated
@@ChamberlainCody Communication, Communication, Communication 😁😁
@@ChamberlainCodyTotally. Agree 🤗. I swear that's exactly what could change much of the world. How much wiser even, would we be... if we all didn't think we were ALL experts on EVERYTHING? How many relationships could be enhanced instead of destroyed!? Sorry, just had to throw my 2₵ in.. I have a huge heart for wanting to help ppl hear ea other & respectfully respond, & couldn't help myself 😇. I'm always interjecting myself into others (sm) arguments, as well, lol... y'know... to soften their blows 🤪 😬 😊 💜!
@oiewey You are right, but if he is doing this every day or even every other day, he is getting exposed to a lot more wood powder than he is getting exposed to walking to the park, specially if he's using power tools. Better be safe than sorry, constant and long exposure is dangerous. dangerous
This is amazing ! I really appreciate you and hope all is well.
Nice video, very instructive. Thanks for sharing.
I watched the link to the tool you used. It's quite expensive for somebody who wants to give wood carving a try but is not sure yet if he will do often/like it very much.
Are there some (much) cheaper alternatives to this tool? If so, what can you recommend?
I use a couple of relatively inexpensive tools that serve me well. For 1/8"-shaft bits, I have a Black & Decker RTX-6 (about $35) with a Dremmel flex shaft (~$30). For 1/4"-shaft bits I have a Heavy Duty Flexible Shaft Grinder/Carver from Harbor Freight ($50).
The older dremmel models can be picked up cheap.
B Farley -- how funny! You must have done the same research as I’ve done. Because I bought the exact same equipment as you, several years ago. The B&D was cheaper than Dremel and had a better motor. When you buy a Dremel, you’re paying for the name and people don’t realize that there are other brands that make rotary tools also that may even be better, and that take all Dremel bits and more. Thanks for posting your reply!
Yeah, if I were to do it again I would buy the same tools. If these break, I would buy the same tools. The Dremels and Foredoms are nice, but I'm carving wood, not buying party wear, so cost is important, especially after what I spent on all the Saburr Tooth bits and a few good hand-carving tools -- all that cost 3X what the power tools did.
Great vid! People often forget 2 look @ pawn stores. You can get top grade tools 4 way less. I think the flex shaft is often an important attchement many beginers skip & struggle with weight of rotary tool instead of freeing the hand for more precision & not tire out hand.
. If not just stick with dremel or BLUE HAWK ( almost exaxt same as dremel but cheaper) every holiday especially father's day and can get 500 bits for $20 on some deals . I always watch people buy most expensive tools for something they want 2 learn as hobby or new skill ,use it 1x then never again. Start cheap learn the skills & got great advice from an old timer @ a craft fair. He said learn on hand me downs & only buy better tools off the $ you made from what ever you make. That way as your skill improves so does the materials you can work with & get into custom orders & demand higher prices. I would also recommend the dremel work station as it basically turns dremel into almost every tool for diy projects
Thank you soo much for the video and instructions. I have been just going over the thought of doing wood carving with a dremel that I got from amazon India but was not very sure whether I could actually waste my time or make something useful out of it. AFter watching your video, i am sure i am going to do something good. Thanks a ton again.
I’m glad it motivated you! I would love to see what you create
Sure, very soon 😊 thanks again
Just came across this. I was diving into relief carving starting off with gouges and V-tools. Finding some woods that it's a beast to work with and learn. I had an old generic "rotary" tool from being a mechanic I no longer use at the shop. Decided to try it out. Though it's a bit large and ungainly I am still taking a swing at it until I know I want to upgrade to something like you have.
Any preferred set ups for straight beginners that are cost effective?
One question on my first foray into it I found it easier to control the cut letting the tool run with the rotation of the bit, tends to get spastic on me when I go against it. Is there any harm in this approach?
Also want to add in. Looking through your video list- probably binge watch tonight. Absolutely love your "Viking" designs. Life goals!
Hey Don! So glad to hear you are getting into powercarving!
Setups: I have a link to a rotary tool for beginners that are around $40 in my storefront link.
Direction: the burr will spin to the “right” which is clock wise. You need to angle your hand piece so that your burrs is always moving backwards toward your or to the left. Rule of thumb* pull the hand piece in the opposite direction the bur wants to “run too”.
Also, thank you for the kind words!
@@CorneliusCreations - Gotcha! Thanks! Been watching a couple more vids since. I saw your list. I think I may either try and get a flex adapter to fit on what I have ($8) or get that Tack model on your list. That was a head slap moment. After I typed what I did I saw your list and your store. (hopefully you get kick backs). Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a safe Holiday. - Don (from NC)
I love your videos. I have a quick question that might not pertain to this video but I'll ask anyway. What bit on my dremel can I use for making scallops around a wood sign?
Hi- from - Baku Azerbaijan :)
Hey!
This is a god start. I have a Foredom Carver I bought a year ago and have had no luck with figuring out how to learn to use it. I enjoyed 5his tutorials. Any other advice would be excellent. I’ll be checking out all your videos. Thanks
Glad the videos are helping you!
M8, thank you so much. It was very helpful.
Glad you liked it bro!
Just got my first rotary tool from Sam club. Beginner wood carving here. Since I'm semi retired. Wanted to pick up a new hobby. I live in a apartment.
Hey Jared! That’s awesome to hear man. I have my Sam’s club rotary tool in front of me now while working. Be sure to pick you up a handvac and you should be good to go

I just got a wood engraving kit to make my daughter a personalized wooden block for her first birthday was going to buy one but i figured I would try to learn to do it myself I really appreciate the videos man
I have not used my new Dremel 4000 with Flex Shaft attachment. You provided several ideas I did not know about. Thanks
You are welcome!
Thanks! but you forgot to put on your protective glasses.
Thank you for another interesting and really informative video, very well presented and explained, I will definitely give it a try.
Take care and here’s wishing you a belated happy Christmas and hope you have a great new year

Cool vid, thanks. Also hearts are always manly lol.
Haha thanks man!
James Golden
fine video.thanks.
Enjoyed👍👍 you have come a long long way from your very first tutorial. Doing a great job. PS we do learn from every step and mistakes. God Bless. Keep sending the videos. 😊 😎😎 THANKS
Ugly heart but the video had a lot of useful tips lol.
Haha!
I hand carve a lot of heart bowls for my son,s friends,when i need a outline i just get a bit of paper fold it & draw half of the heart @ the outline then cut it out gives me what i set out for,i do not have a multi dremo but i have a powerline & drive shaft going to get back into power carving because it is great for passing time & gets the job done now i will un pause & watch the rest of your video thank you.
Hey Allan! Than you for the comment! What an awesome gift for your sons and friends! Glad to hear your are inspired to get back into power carving. I would love to see your work!
Thank you for the information, drawing may not be a self proclaimed strong point of yours...but teaching, in the point you're making, is coming in strong, Good work man! peAce.
I appreciate the kind words bro!
Brilliant , just love your Video. I am a newbie to this and you have really helped me to understand how to use my new rotary tool.
Thankyou
So glad to hear this! Glad you are getting something out of the videos :)
I've found a new hobby! Thanks brother!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve done wood burning off and on over the years, and I have Dremel and some tips. I haven’t used it in a long time but I didn’t think about doing the stencils transfer with the paper I use for wood burning till I saw your other video. Why it didn’t cross my mind idk. But good work.
Right on man! Glad the video inspired you my friend!
Beautiful. Nice and simple intelligent instructions. Is there any difference if you're working with hardwood? Thank you!
Oh yes! Lot's of differences but same principles apply.
