It looks like great fun. The thumb protector is a nice addition to the carving tool set. It's not something I knew existed! I find tools in general to be fascinating, especially the ones involved in making pieces of art. So much fun to be had! Thank you for this demonstration. 😊
Hi Huw... Thank you so much... You should give it a go... it would help to pass all the spare time you must have... Haha Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy ,cracking little demo on those cuts.The thumb guard reminded me of when I worked on a rose nursery, we also had one for the fore finger ,very handy for stripping thorns of rose stems prior to budding rose stocks.cheers mate and thanks for the tutorial and taking me back nearly 60 years,Bram
Hi Bram... Thank you very much... It's amazing how something can trigger a distant memory... Those rose thorns can be very painful... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Salut Andy’s où as-tu appris à faire cela c’est incroyable ça me donne envie de le faire 😇 merci pour cette vidéo explicative et prend soin de toi mon ami 🙏
Thanks Andy...I came across a Fiel chip knife...getting some Basswood from Amazon...you do inspire a lot of folks to try new things...one comment about a chip carved box lid is a cool idea...stay safe...press on 😎Joe
Hi Joe... The Pfeil knife should be a beauty... I love to hear that someone has been inspired to try something new, having watched my videos... Please send me some pictures of your work... Yes... the carved box lid sounds like an interesting idea... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Robert... Thank you very much... I hope that you are enjoying your new hobby... I have a few videos out on RUclips if you look back at my older releases... I do intend to make more in the future... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Todd... That sounds like a great idea... Definitely on my "to do" list now... I have only carved in Basswood before and it doesn't polish well so I will try it in Oak I think... I'm glad that you liked the video... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Nice demonstration of how to work the cuts, might have to give it a try. I know about bass wood, what other types of wood do you suggest to use? Thanks Andy.
Hi Marcia... Thank you so much... I am very much a beginner when it comes to woodcarving and have only used Basswood... But .. Lime..Alder..Willow.. Poplar.. Butternut.. and Birch are supposed to be good carving woods... I would like to try carving some Oak as well but can imagine that it's hard... Please let me know how you get on... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Nice Andy. I've only just started turning & have never whittled or carved before. You've encouraged me to have a good go at it. I'm not expecting wonders though. Is the glove you wear cut proof.? Thanks mate 👍🏴
Hi Jim... Thank you... I hope that you are enjoying your woodturning... I do find whittling a nice addition to turning ... I would encourage you to have a go... my first efforts were not good but I am improving... Don't be afraid to try something even if you throw it away, you will have learned something... The cut gloves are NOT cut or stab proof but will stop minor cuts.. Usually just a careless slip but safe practice is the best way... I would recommend the leather thumb guard on the left hand to stop your thumb getting sore... Also as with turning sharp tools are the safest... Learn how to sharpen the knife correctly... Remember to have fun with it and not make it a chore... I hope that this helps... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Mark... Omg... ouch... I'm very sorry to hear that... I do try to constantly remind myself of the dangers of woodworking... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

Hi,
Great explanation of the different cuts. Other than the triangle cut, what is the best use, or application for each of the other cuts? Thanks.
Andy, have you tried turning a lidded box then doing some chip carving on the top or sides? This was a nice little tutorial! 😊
Hi Todd...
That sounds like a great idea...
Definitely on my "to do" list now...
I have only carved in Basswood before and it doesn't polish well so I will try it in Oak I think...

@@AndysCornishCreations thanks Andy. All & any help & advice is of great use. Keep well & stay safe mate 👍🏴
That thumb protection wouldn't be too good for me, I had a fight with a tablesaw a while back and lost.
Hi Mark...
Omg... ouch... I'm very sorry to hear that...
I do try to constantly remind myself of the dangers of woodworking...
