I really appreciate you taking the time to have Woodcarver’s Corner. I have learned a lot from you my friend. I have a couple of your VHS tapes and they are like a treasure to me. There is nothing like the feel of taking a razor sharp carving tool and cutting into good wood. Take care

[@bransonartworks]

We're so glad to know that there are still some tapes out there helping people learn. And that we have a new way to welcome people back to the Corner. We appreciate you watching.

People still think that work safety is always a top priority, but as long as we are a little distracted, accidents can still happen. Wishing everyone good health to work😊

I like the wqy you explain what you are carving and what you use, and I like your finished carving and the way you seal them! Do you have any drawings on how you made your vice I would like to make one myself. Thank you so much for showing us! how you carve

[@bransonartworks]

Thank you very much! We did a video about how the carving stands are made: ruclips.net/video/h3GLqwixH7M/видео.html

Great video!❤

[@SewWhittle]

Where might we get the patterns to your beginner projects? Or could you show your drawing on the screen so we can take a snapshot?

[@bransonartworks]

He doesn't have any patterns at the moment, but we will try to do better in future videos making the drawings easier to screenshot. :)

Loving the commentary and history - must admit the "it's not if but when you cut yourself" does kinda make me wince xD I like having 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.

[@bransonartworks]

Thank you! If you're really worried about your fingers and thumbs, there are a lot of carvers that use kevlar carving gloves or the chainmail ones butchers use.

[@pastuh]

purchased carving gloves even I still don't have carving knife :X

[@sparker68]
