- It’s been quite some time since I posted a video of myself carving a spoon. I figured it may be a fun exercise to do another and see what’s changed in the last couple years. Something unexpected happened at the end of the video that would upset many people but I’m glad it happened. It proves that EVERYONE has mishaps, no matter their skill level. While these types of things occur less and less as you gain experience, it’s almost cathartic when they finally happen. It’s a quick little reminder to slow things down, grab another billet, and learn the lesson.
Thank you most videos don’t show failures, you make me feel better, been there don that!!!
Thank you for being so truthful and open.. quite refreshing
Keep them coming
Be Safe
11H5P you’re very welcome. I think it’s important to show people the highs and lows of this craft. It’s not all glamor and successes. But the “failures” often teach us more than the successes.
I have done this about 10 times out of 15-20 carving trials. My aggressive carving style and the old Birch branches lying around in the backyard may be the responsible factors . Now trying with some fresh cut green branches. We shall see!
It can make a HUGE difference!
I love your work. Sorry bout the miss hap.keeping it real. Thank you.
Jane Camisa thank you for the comment! I think it’s important for more experienced carvers to share their failures. I hate the idea that folks who are newer to carving might think we seasoned Greenwood workers never have these disappointments. While they may not happen as often for us, they still occur and should serve as a lesson to ourselves and others.
Thanks for keeping it real! Do more videos like this...minus the breaking.
John Garner haha will do!
FRIGGIN A RIGHT! YOUR BACK!!!
Did you just make your chopping block with 2x4s? I think I saw michigan sloyd do something similar. I really like that a lot. Not sure if you're in need of a second, but if you do, I'd be interested in seeing your process for making one.
Levi Kennedy yes the legs are made from 2x4’s. I have an album on my Facebook page that goes over the materials I used and how I achieved the result I did. While I generally don’t do videos for things like this due to lack of time to film, I do try to cover them on social media since a series of photos is often less time consuming for me
Great to watch. Thank you for sharing.
What number spoon do you reckon that was?
Maybe 350?
Can you do a detailed video on your carving block?
Gary Nipp what specifically are you looking for an explanation of?
@@HuronSpoonCo details on your carving block, the tool holders and the raised portion of the block with the notches.
Gary Nipp ahhh okay. Are you on Facebook? I have photo albums that cover both of those topics.
Looks so user friendly.
Bummer.
After you carve the spoon what do you do so it won't crack 🤔 thanks
The_kid ensuring the entire roughed out spoon isn’t too thick, doesn’t contain knots, and has no hairline cracks from your carving process usually promises positive results.
HuronSpoonCo thanks for the tips
Any time!
Oh gutted mate! It happens though, eh? 😡
jon holmes sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. I’m actually pleased this happened on camera. It gives me an opportunity to show people that it happens to us all and there is no such thing as an “expert”
That sucks
STiR Woodcraft I’m always glad to lose a spoon over a fingertip lol
Shiiiiiit. Sucks bro.
It happens. I used to let it really get to me. I’ve found out that I learn a ton from these little mishaps and don’t necessarily view them as a completely negative thing anymore.
