Not a single youtube video comes close to your artistic ability you should be proud of that. I'm going to use your design and make a spatula. If I can pull it off I'm gonna start making spoons for Christmas. I only have to make twelve of them I'll hopefully be done by christmas I hope.
I’ve used knives to carve spoons, I’ve use a Dremel to make other carvings. In all the time I’ve been doing it, I never once thought to cross the two worlds over and carve a spoon with a Dremel.🙄 😂. Thank you. 👍🏻
Yes, there for sure is an appeal. I started roughing out my first large cooking spoon from a piece of wood I borrowed from my brother in laws pile of firewood. I began the rough in with a small handled axe. It takes a lot of concentration on safety ! About a year later it has yet to progress any more. This seems much more accessible.
@@LogsCarvingClub yeah, they're very nice to see. But then you realize "aw, i dont have a jointer, drum sander, tablesaw, router table,..." and stuff like that. I have to admit i bought a dremel with its box and some accessories the other week but i am a bit scared of trying it. I'm afraid i am too clumsy to not get hurt easily
I am glad I found your channel. I am new in Mini Grinder rotary tool carving. I am willing to learn more. This episode on how to carve a wooden spoon is very interesting. I have my new iNGCO mini grinder to use, hoping I’ll gain the confidence and the skill on how to carved using my equipment. I’ll follow you in this channel, blessings.
Thanks! I made one on my instagram if you’d like to check it out, I ended up carving out the middle of two pieces and putting them together. If I did a single piece stem I’d probably steam bend it to get the curve
You could use a couple of basic hand carving knives scorps and so on and they would get you to a place where the finer Dremel and hand sanding would finish it off
Excellent video, Dremel tools are the most underutilized tool in the box. People hope they’re routers often and most aren’t sure what to use them for other than as presents and one-time specialty something. Very useful tool, you just showed everyone how to use it. Thanks. P.s. I make pipes as a hobby, any advice on boring holes in curved wood like the beautiful spoon you made? Thanks again
Thank you for the kind words! Making pipes sounds like a fun project, I’ve made one in the past by boring out the center of two pieces and gluing them, but I’d like to try to steam bend one so that it’s one piece. Maybe this summer I’ll try it
Hi Logan !... Well done..your ladle shaped spoon is wonderful... I was thinking the sphere burr may have helped...I know you used Kutzall flame extreme and they have a fine sphere...or Treeline has the whisper saburtooth in a sphere...either way you made it work... I'll be watching for your next video...have an excellent weekend...🌿🌿🌿
I would consider using tung oil or an alternative all natural oil/beeswax infusion. Mineral oil is distillate from petroleum. They say its food grade, but so is Diet Coke with aspertaime in it.
@@LogsCarvingClub , walnut oil is absolutely food safe andd is a good choice. As is olive oil with a little beeswax in it to make a paste to whatever consistency you want. I dont recommend any specific brand, because i tend to make my own stuff. But i have heard people claim tung oil is fantastic, food safe and 100% natural. Pressed from nuts from a south American tree. I enjoy your videos btw.
Yeah, I’d use a diamond bit. Be very careful though to not inhale the dust, it’s very bad for you. I wear a really good mask and use water and a flex shaft to minimize the dust.
hey ! inspiring approche , i was wondering if you ever expérimentés off Brand burr from let's Say chinese seller ? i'm a bit frisky try some but Carbide bits liké thé 801 are hard to get in France . would liké to know if they are some good compétition ! good Luck on all your project, will definitely follow
also to carve spoon or deep cavity like that i Always use a drill with tape to dig my deepest point and then progressively carbe with a burr the surroundings , not a mindblow for you i Guess but it save some tool life !
Hi! Yes, I have plenty of off-brand tungsten carbide and diamond point burrs, some have been very good and some have been nearly useless so it’s hit or miss. I think I have the ones I use linked in the description of the video.
Hi, I don’t think it’s recommended to use larger bits on Dremels. You would probably need a larger and more powerful tool like a die grinder or a foredome to support 1/4in shanks
The right to left is actually because of the rotation direction of the dremel, the tool naturally will want to run left to right on the wood so going opposite of that helps to keep it in your hand instead of running away. I think I’d still go right to left if you’re left handed, just watch out since if you let go it’ll jump towards your right hand
Thank you for answering all these questions! Eye pro goes without saying but because of dust I was gonna ask about a face and nose mask. Sounds like you are absolutely working smart and talking the necessary precautions. I am super motivated, thanks for showing what can be done with minimal tools. For those that worry, I have an expensive Dremel, but 2 years ago, worked with my son to make a small wood carving for his mom for Christmas. I went to Harbor Freight and got 2 rotary tools, an entry level for him and a little bigger one for me to acclimate myself to the tool. Think I spent maybe $15 and $25 respectively. Cheap way to get my feet wet, and tons of fun to do a project with him. Thank you again.
Cool video, but for the love of god hold behind the bit. It may be uncomfortable but the more you do it the less awkward it will become. Or wear a chainmail glove..
If you liked this check out my more recent video for an engraved cooking spoon carving!

Good luck! Making twelve in a row sounds like quite the commitment. Thank you for your kind words
I’m thrilled I found this channel - buying a band saw is a bit beyond my budget at the moment, and I didn’t even realise my Dremel could do this!
I’m glad you like it! Thank you!

I think it's much easier! Knife carvings do have a certain appeal to them however.

I began the rough in with a small handled axe. It takes a lot of concentration on safety ! About a year later it has yet to progress any more. This seems much more accessible.
Finally a video that shows a feasible carving with no.more than a tool and a couple accessories! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! That's been my main goal for this channel. Not a fan of "DIY" videos with massive wood shops required
@@LogsCarvingClub yeah, they're very nice to see. But then you realize "aw, i dont have a jointer, drum sander, tablesaw, router table,..." and stuff like that. I have to admit i bought a dremel with its box and some accessories the other week but i am a bit scared of trying it. I'm afraid i am too clumsy to not get hurt easily
I’d start with the smaller engraving bits or sanders just to get a feel for it before trying the cutters
@@LogsCarvingClub yup, that's good advice
Not having a bandsaw, I seriously appreciate seeing you rough out like this! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! I like showing you don’t need a bunch of tools to make something cool, I also don’t have anything other than a Dremel and a power drill
I really like that handle patterning. Beautiful little ladle.
Thank you! Not a great spoon design for function but nice for aesthetics
Oh, gosh! Great work! So amazing that you do it with just one rotary tool!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful spoon!
Thank you Evelyn!
This is beautiful my wood working brother😊
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Nice looking scoop.
Thank you Valio! A scoop definitely describes it better than a spoon.
i dont love the design, but the Dremel is strong with this one.
Me too honestly so I’m making a new one
Beautiful
Omg I have all these tools I got 3 years ago justes opened it up I’m inspired to try this for sure 😊
That’s great to hear! Thank you
OK. I think I'm ready to give it a go!
That’s great! Good luck
You did a fine job!!!
Thank you Dave!
Great video! I love how you did the handle. Overall great job!
Thank you!

Awesome! That would make a killer pipe. Is it possible to somehow bore a hole down through the handle into the bowl?? So intriguing!
Thanks! I made one on my instagram if you’d like to check it out, I ended up carving out the middle of two pieces and putting them together. If I did a single piece stem I’d probably steam bend it to get the curve
Well done!
Thank you for watching!
I just found your channel. Really cool spoon. I’m just getting into carving with a Dremel. Can’t wait to go through your other videos.
Thank you!
Nicely done!
Thank you Charles!
Nice spoon!
Thank you!
You made a very cool spoon and pipe 😁
Thank you hahaha
Cool! You've inspired me. Thank.
Glad to hear it! Thank You
You'd be an excellent pipe maker!!!
Good future project!
Very nice!
Thank you!!
I love your work!
Thank you Mr. Cunningham
Nice work!
Thank you!
nice design!
Thanks so much!
Woow
Thanks!
You could use a couple of basic hand carving knives scorps and so on and they would get you to a place where the finer Dremel and hand sanding would finish it off
I'd be curious to try that, I had a cheap one in the past but slipped up and cut myself pretty bad so I've been a bit hesitant.

If I was going for efficiency I’d definitely get one
I get it. I wish I had your patience.
Hi Logan !...
Well done..your ladle shaped spoon is wonderful...
I was thinking the sphere burr may have helped...I know you used Kutzall flame extreme and they have a fine sphere...or Treeline has the whisper saburtooth in a sphere...either way you made it work...
I'll be watching for your next video...have an excellent weekend...🌿🌿🌿
That’s a great point! I should definitely try some saburtooth burrs
❤ Great Job. 💯👍💪🤝
Thanks so much!
😊nice, thanks 😊
Thank you Quinn!!
What you did just saved my soul from buying some huge scary power tools lol 😅-small girl problems
Great to hear! I also stay away from big tools (mostly because I don't want to spend on them)
I don't like the patterning but the ladle is _cool_ - I have a rotary tool and would like to try this!
I agree, I’ll make another without the patterning
I wonder what the millilitre capacity of that little scoop is - looks like it would make a good coffee scoop - and an _amazing_ gift!
Thank you Sue! Its probably 15-20ml. Pretty small.
I like that coffee spoon idea.
Great project man! I was wondering, where do you get your wood from? I have a hard time finding different woods in the dimensions I want.
I usually get it from a local woodworking store, or for thinner planks I just go to Home Depot
I would consider using tung oil or an alternative all natural oil/beeswax infusion. Mineral oil is distillate from petroleum. They say its food grade, but so is Diet Coke with aspertaime in it.
Do you have any brands you recommend? The ones I’ve seen in my local supply shop that have beeswax also have additives that aren’t safe

@@mr.zardoz3344 Thank you! I’ll look more into other oils. I heard not to use olive oil since it goes rancid
Looks nice. Looks so much like a pipe. Not sure how it works as a spoon.
It does haha, I don't know what I was thinking. It was an improv spoon, making another soon that should be more useable
Spoon? We used to call it a bowl. Lol
This one's bowl was a pain I keep them shallower now.
Круто! Спасибо!
Один вопрос - какая древесина?
I believe it’s mahogany. Thanks!
Great video...! How many hours did it take you to make the spoon? Its a really cool spoon 👍🏼
It was probably about 3-4 hours, thank you!
@@LogsCarvingClub legit question: what do you sit on? I love a dremel but no matter what my sides n back seize up on me
@@jesshasnofilter hey, I sit on a cushioned rolling stool, not sure if that helps
@@jesshasnofilter When doing this I sit on the floor and pre-pop a couple extra-strength Advil 😄
Dremel 3000 can use for carving stone
Yeah, I’d use a diamond bit. Be very careful though to not inhale the dust, it’s very bad for you. I wear a really good mask and use water and a flex shaft to minimize the dust.

Здравствуйте!А что вы за дерево используется?
This one’s mahogany
How long did this take
I don't remember but probably a day or so.
When you say you soak it in water, how long do you soak it for?
Just a couple seconds to wet it before air-drying
What kind of wood is this?
It’s black walnut
Where can I find ur adapter for biger bits? Standard is 1/8 but can I buy somewhere adapter from 1/8 to 1/4
Hi, I don’t think it’s recommended to use larger bits on Dremels. You would probably need a larger and more powerful tool like a die grinder or a foredome to support 1/4in shanks
Hi! Question. I see you go R to L - I'm a lefty. Should I assume that's reversed? Thanks.
The right to left is actually because of the rotation direction of the dremel, the tool naturally will want to run left to right on the wood so going opposite of that helps to keep it in your hand instead of running away. I think I’d still go right to left if you’re left handed, just watch out since if you let go it’ll jump towards your right hand
@@LogsCarvingClub Thank you! Very helpful - I appreciate your quick response and I love your videos.
@@ruthgrossman9231 thank you Ruth!
Cutter works both directions - that means that you will see/feel things a bit different and you will compensate accordingly .
@@dc85337 Great, thanks. Sounds good!
can you use grapeseed oil for this application? I don't have mineral oil
Sorry I’m not sure, I’ve never used grapeseed oil
👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks Pedro!
Dremel 3000 can use
That same bit burns my wood too
Yeah I need to figure out how to avoid that
What about eye and breathing protection
Safety first! I make sure to wear a nice dust mask and safety glasses so it doesn’t get in my eyes or lungs
Thank you for answering all these questions! Eye pro goes without saying but because of dust I was gonna ask about a face and nose mask.

Seems alot of work.
200 grit? I sand up to 600!
Hi, the buffing wheels sand it up to 400 and then I touch it up a bit with a 1000 grit. Works for me but I agree 600 would be better.
That’s a weed pipe.
That’s the beauty of carving, make it whatever you’d like!
kinda looks like a pipe
Haha I guess so!
Cool video, but for the love of god hold behind the bit. It may be uncomfortable but the more you do it the less awkward it will become. Or wear a chainmail glove..
Great to see it. I did it too. The plans from Woodglut helped me a lot :)
