    I absolutely love that you show your WHOLE process. I wish more people would be honest about the tools they use and just show it for the love of the craft. I am a huge fan of rotary tools, and I wish more people showed how they use them.
    Please make more videos like this. I absolutely adore watching them and learning the process you use.

    @davisuko_ 6 лет назад +12

    I am by no means an expert and I'm a huge fan of the final product but I thought from the thunbnail that you were going to use orange resin and form it to shape so that you could potentially put a light behind it and make it glow or just have a more eyball looking texture! That could be cool for a future project!

    • @Jonasolsenwoodcraft
      @Jonasolsenwoodcraft  6 лет назад +3

      @jarredblanton6100 6 лет назад

      Jonasolsenwoodcraft you should do a huge wall mural out of little pieces of wood carved into a scene from the Hobbit move like when the dragon is looming over Bilbo and looking down at him with one eye you carved the eye now all that is needed is the rest of the scene like the gold, Bilbo, pillars,etc. that would be very awesome.

    This is amazing! ♥ I loved the "another woodcarving tip is to subscribe to this channel", lmao. I don't see a lot of channels that do wood carving using hand-tools-- most of the ones I see seem to favor wood-turning-- so I absolutely adore your videos!
    By the way, would you be willing to do a "tour" of your workshop and show what tools you have and what their primary uses are? I'm trying to get into wood carving/wood turning and I'm not really sure where to begin, or where to learn about the tools used in this craft, and I learn best from videos. Thank you! :)

    • @Jonasolsenwoodcraft
      @Jonasolsenwoodcraft  6 лет назад +3

    I know this is an old vid but just started watching your channel and I must say it is brilliant! I started my adventure with woodworking a few years back but unfortunately, it is still just a hobby. Still, from furniture, i proceeded to smaller projects and now I made stuff from popsicles, etc (tall ships, jewelry boxes) :) but to the shore... I love your content because it is co calm, has no frustrating music, just wood carving, and your comments.
    I have been watching YT channels related to the topic for quite a long time, looking for some inspiration and YT finally showed me your videos. I do not have such advanced tools and workshop to do the projects but the point is that you are a great mentor! your work is amazing, and it shows that nothing is impossible :)
    For the first time, I just sit with my jaw open and truly enjoy the video, watching how to improve my skills and learning a LOT!
