Subject: [Puptcrit] Wood carving videos


Collection of wood caring videos I found interesting and instructionnal.

>From seeing the people work, I realize my chisels and gouges are so darn 
dull it's no wonder I can't cut wood fast! Note to self: search for 
how-to-sharpen-chisels videos...Done!
Now I've got some not-yet-perfect-but-workable chisels and u-gouges!
Sharpening videos at the end of the list.
Sorry, I couldn't find any sharpening video featuring u-gouges. Therefore I 
messed up one of my u-gouges, but now it's "more than ok".


WOOD CARVING VIDEOS:

Puppet carving course by John Roberts at the little Angel theatre in London.
Was posted at least twice on Puptcrit before, but it's always fun to see.

Extremely detailed carvings in Teak wood, from Thailand.
Some pieces take two workers an entire year to make.

Maskmakers in bali:

This seems insanely thin for a wooden mask, yet is probably strong enough!
Marvelous! Look at his tools  and practical tool holder!

Another bali mask maker. This one seems to earn a good living from his masks 
(house, temple, land). Some carving scenes near the end of the video.

Chainsaw Art.
This can be an example of boldness married with precision.
I don't have a chainsaw, but as soon as I can get a cut-off saw (toothed 
wheel) on my Dremel, I'll try a similar approach, in a much smaller scale.

Scott McNeill bas relief videos:
Very very nice, deep, and detailed carvings! Some of his videos are filmed 
closer to subject than most carving demos I've seen online so far.

Cellars with sculpted bas reliefs
I find out after the web search that he's from my hometown, and that I've 
seen some of his Shop signs downtown when I was there last week.

SHARPENING WOODCARVING TOOLS VIDEOS:

Sharpening flat chisels

Other sharpening approach, with safety tips. The narrating is so dull-toned 
it becomes funny.
