Have just received a Dremel… so excited to see the magical things that can be created… I ‘m 77- and starting something I have never tried… what fun it will be!
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.
Hands down the best dremel powercarving tutorial for beginners. Idk why but compared to others out there, you really make something seemingly daunting into a very simple, step-by-step process.Thank you! I think this will be a christmas gift this year :)
I used to carve alot of wizards, native Americans, old men ect about 12 inch tall but I cheated and roughed them in with a bandsaw after blistering my hands on the first couple, back then there was no dremels, I used a utility knife small files and sandpaper but I just bought a new dremel with about every attachment available, I just cleaned up a long piece of driftwood for a walking stick I’m going to carve multiple figures down the whole length except handle.
Sweet! I've wanted to carve a makwa and this video is great to learn from. I try practicing on Jenga game pieces first. When I'm done with my seahorse, I'm definitely going to try a makwa (bear). I'm Ojibwe and the bear is my dodem. Makwa Dodem (bear clan).❤❤❤❤ 🐻
I just got my rotary tool. Not dremel brand tho. I like to try this wooden animals and give to my son to play with. I'll subscribe to your channel for more ideas.
Got a phalanx months ago! I begin today using it as an artist tool. You are the very first instruction I ve seen. Excited. Just got some wood. Going to begin my journey momentarily! I'm a sculpture but never electrically!
I just got a Dremel yesterday can’t wait to start carving & making things. I’m planning on going on a hike tomorrow so I can hopefully find some wood 🪵
I’m getting ready to try carving I will have to start wil a well rated off brand I very impressed I how yo go from a one dimensional picture to that great three d model U
@@Matsersuperkul Maybe a mix of both. I try not to put too much pressure, keep it around a 45 degree angle, and do many shallow passes. Some very hard woods though are just not worth trying, and even tough ones I can cut like hard maple take a long time which I mostly edit out of the videos for the sake of time
I typically do carvings with a flap disk on an angle grinder but I will try this by hand soon on some beach so I can build experience. Thanks for showing me how
Awesome video, awesome results !!! Idea, Instructions, description, camera, everything were perfect. Thank you very much. Keep it up ! Awesome gift for a kid as well. Thank you
Great video! I’ve done a little bit of carving and want to do more, this was a great video to help get my brain in the right space. Do you like any cordless rotary tool options?
Hi Bethanie! Glad you liked the video. I use the Dremel 8220 for routing so the cord doesn’t get in the way and the Dremel lite for little engravings and very small projects. Usually when I’m doing a larger carving though I prefer the corded options
Me dejas impresionado, yo vivo en Santa Cruz de Tenerife, y no conozco esa madera que usted menciona! Me gustaría saber un poco mas, ya que aquí solo abunda es el pino. Y es muy difícil de trabajar por la cantidad de nudos que presenta.
Espectacular!!! Gracias por este vídeo 😊 Me gustaría saber si también se pueden tallar las cáscaras de las nueces .Y si es que si … si algún día puedes hacer un vídeo . Es algo que me gustaría hacer algún día 😃
I know it's 4 months later, but you mentioned about getting an angle grinder. I don't know if you went and got one yet but all I can say is be careful because those things are hella dangerous. Angle Grinders are useful, but there's some discs/attachments out there that definitely should NOT be made/sold legally. In other news, just found your channel/video today. Pretty neat! I was using a dremel to sand down some spots on reindeer that I made on the bandsaw and got to wondering if one could carve something out of wood using a dremel. Didn't see why not! And wouldn't you know, somebody has a youtube channel doing it.
@@LogsCarvingClub nice! Blacktail Studios does some carving and uses some pretty snazzy ones. Might be worth giving him a look to see what he uses. I think the video with the table he made for a giveaway he talked about them a little.
What a beautiful carving, it looks really brilliant 👏 you have a real talent. This is my first of many of your videos. I am not a carver but I would love to try but I don't have the confidence to do so, afraid to make a hash of it then be disappointed. Many thanks keep 🙏 up the fantastic 👍 work ( brilliant )
That’s SO COOL… the Dremel was the first tool I bought myself as an “adult” when my wife and I bought our first house. I didn’t find it as handy as social media proclaimed it to be…. 5 years later I’ve gotten into woodworking and it seems like I was trying to use it wrong. Would love to give something like this a try…. Subscribed! Btw +8k subscribers in 6 months, keep it up!
@@LogsCarvingClub it may, but you mentioned having 3k subscribers, and you now have 11k and the vid was posted 6 months ago so I just did some maths lol
@@darodes ah gotcha, good maths! The growth has been really cool! Need to get around to editing more videos but I prefer the carving over the video making
I've only made one bear since I started 3 years ago, and I made it with a chainsaw, not a great success, but it looks like a bear 🐻😅! I'm going to try with the Dremel thanks! Do you use the flap sander that you can make yourself? I also discovered this thing for water, but for certain wood, including basswood, I didn't like it because we never stop sanding the fluff!
Hi, I don’t make my own flap sanders, I usually hand sand these or use abrasive buffs. And yes for getting it wet then sanding some woods seem to be eternally coarse, like a recent experience I had with birch. Usually very dense hardwoods don’t do that though. Good luck on the bear!
dude..... am just captivated! hahaha. Awesome job!!! So cool that you can do that with a dremel! I have some woodworking idea that I want to work out and was looking up some dremel videos. I love woodworking and woodcarving!! Really cool!
Amazing, thanks for showing me how to get more out of my Dremel, I have a long way to go. Doing the carving you do, approx how long would a burr bit last you, just curious as to how fast they wear out, I know you can’t give an exact, but how many bears for example could you do with one burr bit? Thanks again. Ont., Canada.
Hi Jay, it depends on the bit but most last a very long time. For example I’ve roughed out dozens of similar animal carvings with one kutzall extreme flame burr without getting a new one, the 561 and 562 are also very durable, I’ve only gone through a couple of each of them. Some bits don’t last long like the sanders or grinding stones depending on how you use them. You’ll end up getting a feel for each of them as you keep making carvings
Have just received a Dremel… so excited to see the magical things that can be created… I ‘m 77- and starting something I have never tried… what fun it will be!
I’m glad you’re excited! I love to use mine. Make sure to be safe when you’re using it!
Good show, enjoy!
@@LogsCarvingClub thank you…. I wear all the protective gear and totally enjoying!
What type of wood do you use?
Never to old brother, just getting mine today and im 36, good little hobby and you can make stuff for your grand kids or great grand kids. Enjoy!

Thank you so much! I’m glad these are helpful. Handmade gifts are always the most special, let me know how it goes.
Okay! I just finished my first bear. I want to do it again....only better. Thank you for the motivation! This is a great place to learn!
That's fantastic! If you email a picture of it to me I'd love to see the finished product!
I would also love to see your first bear carving! Amazing videos thank you

Amazed what a Dremal can do… Thank you for sharing
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Those 60 Gritt Sanding Drums
Work Good Too. I used One
To Make My Spoon Rest.
That’s a great idea for the spoon rest - I know a lot of people use them for carving and not just sanding

Hi! Have you tried carving a bear yet? I'd love to hear how it went.
My mother car is pretty good at it and you’re right up there with her
Thank you, I think about mother cars often
Thats so clever my friend, but do-able thanks. Nice to see so few tools used, it can be daunting for a beginner.
Thank you Richard! I try and keep these mostly beginner-friendly with minimal tools.
I love that you give your hints as you carve. Beautiful carving.
Thank you very much!
You give me the courage to move towards something like this!!!
You do a fantastic job with camera angles and instructions. I’d love to see more carvings soon.
Thank you!
I agree, I wonder how they get the camera so close while still seeing what they are working on?!
I bought my Dremel for 3d printing finish but this is tempting to learn too. Thanks! Dremel should sponsor you :D
Thank you! How do you use it to finish prints?
Sanding I guess
Sanding/smoothing out some edges, cutting supports, polishing. Pretty much what you do with wood 🙂
I just got my rotary tool. Not dremel brand tho. I like to try this wooden animals and give to my son to play with. I'll subscribe to your channel for more ideas.

This is fakin artisanry. Well done . It is vision and precision 🙏
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
Thanks for providing RUclips with something fun and wholesome!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
Just what I needed, thank you so much!! I carved my first thing today, with your help!
Got a phalanx months ago! I begin today using it as an artist tool. You are the very first instruction I ve seen. Excited. Just got some wood. Going to begin my journey momentarily! I'm a sculpture but never electrically!
Wow.Thank you. Great video. I learn and i learn....i never stop learning.
Same here! Thank you!
I just got a Dremel yesterday can’t wait to start carving & making things. I’m planning on going on a hike tomorrow so I can hopefully find some wood 🪵
Great to hear! I hope the hike went well. Did you find a good piece?
Well done. Use whatever tool you need for a good looking carving. Great complete instruction. Thanks.
Thank you! And I agree! Lots of roads to get to a similar result. Some are much easier than others though.
Great job can you do more of these types of carvings with a Dremel please? Thank you in advance.
Yep! I plan on it. Thank you!
Very nice.... Next time I would like to see Wooden Bull....
Thatd be fun! I’d be worried about the legs being very thin but I could try
@@LogsCarvingClub I told you to do so.... Because in share market both are important bear that you have made.... And Bull that is pending....
@@devis011 oh that’s hilarious, totally went over my head
Trust me sir.... It is not funny.... In share market there are 2 type of market Bull Market and Bear Market.....
This is a great tutorial! I’ve never tried carving but this video just gave me some confidence. Thanks
Glad I could help Cory! Thanks.
Great video. It came out so well. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
been carving for awhile but this video is really great simple and well done
Thank you very much!
Beautiful wooden bear, you're a talent in carving.
Thank you very much!!
This was fantastic. Thanks.
Thank you Joseph! Thanks for commenting.
Hi from Puerto Rico love your channel
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. Your a great instructor. Some carving with an angle grinder would be great.
Great suggestion! I may get one this winter. Thanks!
Your work inspired me. thank you
You’re very welcome! Thank you
Damm, you made that look easy
Thank you Juan! It’s not too hard
He sure does! Got me to thinking I can do this...mine not as good as his. I'm going to do it again...Inspiration is motivation.
Great tips! Do you have a video teaching how to use all the accessories? Thanks 😊
Very good video and a beautiful Bear!
Thank you for showing and you give me a Inspiration 👍
Thank you!
Wow that was awesome!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic job
Thank you! Appreciate it
Such cute bear! 😻 It would be so whimsical if it becomes salt and pepper shakers to the tables.
That’s a wonderful idea! Thank you!
I’m getting ready to try carving I will have to start wil a well rated off brand I very impressed I how yo go from a one dimensional picture to that great three d model
U
Thank you Robert!
You make it look easy. My dremel tool likes to attack me when I get to the edges
I had that same problem, learned to be extra careful around the edges haha.
You make it look like its easy
It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it! It’s also much easier if you have a model to look at while you’re carving
Thank you for such a good explanation. Now I’m waiting for my dremel to be delivered and your video is the best manual how to work with this tool 🙏🏻
I have everything I would need to do this apart from skills… I might try it some time tho.. great results… 🪵🐻
It’s not too hard! Thank you
I love carving birds and bears 🐻
Great to hear! I haven’t had any bird carvings yet that I’ve been happy with
That narrow bit can do work! 0:49 😮
Dremel 561, its really saved me from having to buy a saw
@@LogsCarvingClubhow do you cut so easy with it? It takes me forever. Technique or my wood too hard?
@@Matsersuperkul Maybe a mix of both. I try not to put too much pressure, keep it around a 45 degree angle, and do many shallow passes. Some very hard woods though are just not worth trying, and even tough ones I can cut like hard maple take a long time which I mostly edit out of the videos for the sake of time
holy. crap. Amazing.

Thank you! I also find it relaxing. I hope you’re doing well.
Would love to see you do sports logos of teams. NHL Hockey (Montreal), NFL football (Green Bay) … I was thinking of doing (trying) this myself.
That sounds like a fun idea! Do you mean like an epoxy or engraved sign?
Gorgeous!

What would you carve into them?
brutal....can you get the same results by carving it with a knife?
With a much softer wood, yes. With the woods I usually use though this would be really frustrating.
Nice cow
Ik that’s a joke but that’s actually a good idea for future - legs might be too thin though
That’s some awesome handy work ! How thick of a board do you start with? It looks like 1.5” or 2”
I don't remember to be honest, but yeah somewhere between those. Probably 1.5 since I have a hard time getting 2" usually.
First of your carvings I've seen, it's beautiful. So have subscribed to check your other works, keep doing what you do. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful, but I have to point out that quadripeds don't walk like that. If the front-left leg is forward, the back-right should be forward.
