How to Carve a Wooden Spoon with a Dremel Rotary Tool
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2023
- Hey guys, here's a quick and easy Dremel rotary tool project that's great for beginners (or anyone for that matter). Wooden spoons are a classic carving project, and although usually they're carved with knives it's also fun to make them with a power tool. The design of this one is a more classic cooking-style spoon which makes it useful for you or for a friend as a personalized gift. Enjoy!

If you're looking for more wood carving designs and videos, I recommend watching the video where I carve a greek paddle with a Dremel 4300. I use Walnut, Poplar, and Epoxy! The epoxy was a hassle but came out really cool. 
Хобби
Not me blowing on the screen to get rid of the dust
Not the best hobby if you like to stay clean that's for sure.
Spent the last few nights following and made myself one! I went with an unfinished look because i like how it looks better and it was easier😂, this was my first project ever! Thanks so much.. had a hard time getting it as smooth as yours but i assume that's a skill that comes with time..
That's great! I'd love to see the finished product if you could email it to me. How's it working for you?
Thanks for the tip to help those with arthritis!!! This is the first video I watched when I searched for making a spoon with a dremel! I think it’s the only one I need to watch!! 🫶🏼
That's great to hear! Thank you for your support!
Definitely inspires me to make one now... wondering what wood my brother has on his property that I could use🤔
Cool! I'm happy you're inspired!
That is wonderful!! Thank you!!
Thank you Cindy!
I love your videos! I am an absolute beginner at woodcarving and I only have a little Dremel Stylo, but seeing you do all these cool things with only a dremel and some bits gives me hope to make something amazing some day too. The spoon looks great, keep up the good work! Best regards from Brazil!
Thank you! I’d like to get a Dremel stylo, do you like it?
@@LogsCarvingClub i do have Dremel Stylo. I love it, but it's not really that powerful and it will lose speed easy under pressure. I mostly use it for detail engravings on wood and brass, there it's small size and lack of vibration is a huge benefit.
@@LogsCarvingClub I've only used it so far for some easy works like cutting/ carving MDF and light engraving in acrylic and brass, but I love it. It is great, but it is definitely less powerful than the other Dremels. If I'm not mistaken the max speed is 22000 rpm. It has a nice little mechanism that when you put too much pressure or the bit is struggling to cut/ engrave something, it stops itself as to not break the burr and not damage the motor. But if you'd like to check some work done with it, Matt from the channel Cornelius Creations does some carving/ engraving with it and seems like it can handle itself. Like @nekoandpiano said above, it has very little vibration so you can make some really steady lines. I hope this helped you!
Never seen your videos before but the almighty algorithm seems to have liked this one, suggested it to me and I'm happy I watched it. I've had the tools to do this for some time but have never tried to to something like this before so now I kind of want to. I also happen to have a Laser engraver so I may be able to carve something nice then personalize it further or do something like this for gifts. I've always loved "making things" so this looks like a fun hobby to explore, though cautiously since it seems like could be easy to get careless and skin part of your hand.
I love this hobby - it’s pretty accessible since it doesn’t require a lot of equipment. Caution is good, I’ve slipped up a couple times but nothing too bad. Do you like the laser engraver? I was thinking about getting one
Love my dremeltime spoon! Love spoon you too. Come to Brazil
Muito legal! Obrigado
I ❤️ your videos. So I wanted to tell you that I inherited a Dremel. My first project was making a cave out of sticks for my daughters mice. I burned the wood more than carved it. But the mice love it. And if it weren't for you, I would never have had the confidence to even try! ☺️
That is awesome! Thank you - the cave idea sounds great
That is awesome! Thank you - the cave idea sounds great
Glad to see your back posting 😊 😃
Trying my best! Got a bit busy/lazy for a while
Very nice simple video. No distractions or acrobatics. Thanks!
Thanks Neil! I appreciate the kind words
Super cool
Thanks! Appreciate it
Great work. Thanks
Thank you! Appreciate it a lot
Great video. Great Spoon. Love the product!
Thank you Mark! More similar projects on the way in the coming months probably. I make a ton of these as gifts but procrastinate making videos.
Thank you for the new spoon video! Really want to do spoon for the tea now)
A tea spoon sounds like a fun quick project! Thank you
Spoon looked awesome. You did a great job on it
Thank you Thomas!
This looks great. Fun video to watch. Well done
Thanks so much!
Good job thank you continue
Thank you! More to come soon
I loved the video. I'll definitely try !! I am sticking around for more cuz i bought me a mini grinder with flexible shaft.
Great to hear John! Thanks for being here!
I love your videos, super satisfying! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you dami! Will do!
Thanks!

I'm Thinking About Carving Out
A Tablespoon Just To See If
I Can Do It. & I Might Try Carving
Out A Coffee Scooper Too.
I also want to make a coffee scooper! Seems like a great idea
Yes another video
Another soon! (Hopefully)
Thank you for your video! I subscribed right away! I just got to open and learn how to use my dremel 3000 & I must confess I am inspired to use after watching your video! Started wood carving less than a year ago and I can’t wait to try out carving a spoon! I have a question though: do u carve indoors or outdoors and do you have a video on how to use your flexible shaft?
I carve outdoors - I also have a video on the setup for the flex shaft, but not so much how to use it if I remember correctly. Good luck carving and stay safe!
Simplesmente show, Você é muito talentoso 👍
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Obrigado!
I have a rotary tool I haven't touch in over a decade. All I used to use it for was drilling tiny holes but now see that it's useful for so much more. Can you recommend an accessory kit that would have all the attachments needed for this project? I have a Harbor Freight nearby and of course there is always Amazon but I cant find a set that has everything that I can tell. Great video and nice outcome. Thanks.
ya got a new sub from me. just got a 4300
Great to hear Zach! Thanks for the sub
Great video! I love the fact that you throw in little details about what to do and what not to do such as “go in this direction when using this tool” I’m having the hardest time figuring out what does what and when it skips Of course I’m new to all of this and just got my dremels
Do you have any videos that go through some bits and how to use them ? I didn’t see one
Thank you! I do have one - it’s from about a year ago. There’s also the general ‘how to use a dremel’ one that covers some bits, but I don’t remember it very well
Great video! Personally I’m of the belief that wooden utensils shouldn’t go in the dishwasher. I don’t have a good reason as to why not, just what I’ve always heard.
I bet they age better if you don’t, but I think I’ll just make a new one when this one gets too old. I also like to think the heat from the washer will kill the bacteria growth for when it sits dirty for too long
Great work. I love all things carving. Still very much a beginner but have carved many spoons by hand. I now own a dremel 4000 and love it. I've carved a few wood spirits and am currently working on a mahogany love spoon for my partner. Is there somewhere I can send you a pic of it?
Anyway, new subscribers here. Can't wait to watch .ore of your content.
Cheers 👊
Thank you Tim! I think I’ll make an email account and include it in a future video for people who want to send pictures, so stay tuned! What are you carving into the love spoon?
Where would you get a board like this untreated? I assume most at lowes and home depot are treated and I'm brand new to dremel so i was just curious.. awesome video i love the simplicity of not using 5 $2000 tools that i don't have 😂
Thank you! That’s the goal of this channel to keep tools to a minimum. I believe I got this at a local lumber yard and just made sure it was untreated by asking the employees. Lots of times they have hardwoods that are untreated, it seems most softwoods are treated though.
Thanks for the lesson on the Dremel 4300. I have a 3000 Dremel, w a number chart that goes up to 10.
Also I have some of the same tools & bits that you’ve used. I like that little do-hickey small thing for sensitive hands, maybe I could get 1 of them…any suggestions on where or what kind to use? I’m gonna give it a try on the spoon soon.👩🎨🎨
You’re welcome! I use a Dremel flex shaft, I got mine either at a department store or Amazon, I can’t remember
@@LogsCarvingClub thank you 👩🎨
Love your content and just followed on Instagram. Do you know if your bits would fit on my Goaxee rotary tool? It's one of those off-brand Dremel that I bought without doing research (my bad I know)
P.S. what's a good mask and pair of gloves to get as well. Right now I'm just using a regular face mask but I don't have gloves
Thanks! I’m not sure about that tool, but it would probably work. For mask I am really careful and wear a 3M p100 mask. I don’t wear gloves because I’m scared of getting them caught in a bit and twisting a finger off
❤❤
Thank you Noel!
❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Nice handle, it's stout and not "DAINTY" looking. I guess in a place with a lot of users, that works well!
It’s lasted really well so far! Thanks Mr. Reed
What are your thoughts on the battery dremel?
I use a couple battery powered ones but I prefer not having to wait for them to charge. Usually I don't need the portability.
Dremel time
pkr time
Hello, I find your work really very good and I have a question.
Could you send me the references of the tools you use.Thank you so much
They should all be in the description, thanks!
Oh sorry, I'm not used to it. Indeed, they are there. Thank you so much@@LogsCarvingClub
and what did you cut out at the very beginning?with a simple drill bit?
No, it was the Dremel 561 multipurpose cutting bit
@@LogsCarvingClubThank you!!!
Can you tell me all the bitts you used to make that spoon please
I mention them each as they come up, but mainly the dremel 561, 562, and kutzall extreme flame burr, and the drum and disc sanders for the dremel
I heard that Dremel dies after a month or two...? Is that true or false? Is it worth the money if I plan to carve small things from wood daily?
I can’t speak for other brands, they very well be just as good and less expensive, but I’ve only used dremels and they’ve lasted me years. I’ve had to replace the brushes on them as they age, but only one has died on me and it was covered under warranty so I got a free replacement
Are you making a spoon or dust?
I often ask myself the same question.
Spoon redemption video
So true😄
Do you sell your spoons?
Sorry Dan I don’t, my day to day lets me carve only about a month a year now which means I only do things for myself and friends and family.
First Video i saw from you.😊🙈
