We have come to the end of our “Getting Started in Woodcarving” series, and in this final episode Shaun is going to give you some beginner projects to help get you started. He has thought through three separate projects that progressively get a little trickier and build upon the skills you have already learned. We’re starting things off with a spreader.
Health and safety should play a major role in any work industry, and woodcarving is no exception. There are lots of little things that can help aid you in staying safe – like protective gear, or correct technique – but one main way to stay safe is to work in the right frame of mind.
This will be a much shorter episode today, but don’t be fooled, it will still offer you vital information to aid you in your wood carving/spoon carving journey. Today we are going to be discussing the materials you will be working with: wood. After all, you can’t be a wood carver without it.
You’ve finally chosen what tools to buy and have spent a lot of money to get them, so why do people at this point neglect the regular maintenance needed to keep them in good shape? Tool maintenance is a very crucial, yet largely overlooked, thing. Despite what you may think, a sharp tool, is a safe tool, especially when it comes to carving.
In today’s episode, we will be talking about Shaun’s spoon carving tool kit. Shaun is going to talk through his toolkit and give some recommendations and tips on finding the best tools for you.
Now that we have fully introduced ourselves and our podcast to you, it’s time to get into the meat of our content! For the next few months all of us will be speaking on our individual crafts, typically we will be talking about the general history of the craft as well as how we started doing it and some information you’ll need to help you learn. First up is Shaun’s craft; woodcarving.
