How to use Special Woodcarvers Scrapers
www.woodcarvingworkshops.tv
Woodcarvers scrapers are not the same as those used by cabinetmakers!
In this video I'll show you what carvers' scraper look like, how to sharpen them and how to use them. If sharpened correctly, they'll leave a beautiful smooth surface with a lot of character and which doesn't need sanding.
Some carvers actually scrape with their chisels; I don't like doing this and prefer a dedicated scraper but it does point to the essence of the matter: Essentially carvers use a very sharp edge, not a 'ticketed' burr ('or wire edge') of the classic cabinetmaker's scraper.
I leave the scrapers straight from the grinder but you can sharpen them further on a fine benchstone 'for that ultimate shave'...

What's the difference between a carpenter's chisel and a woodcarver's chisel?
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
www.woodcarvingworkshops.tv/ How do woodcarving chisels differ from bench or carpentry chisels? Woodcarving chisels really are a different species to bench or carpentry chisels: sharpened and used for different things. However, carvers will find bench chisels useful for joining pieces, cutting wood off, making a bench, quickly shaping a form and so on. So, good to know about! #woodcarvingworksh...

Is this lime wood?

I like the low relief. It's emerging, while the high relief is nearly present. The low relief is a verb; the high, a noun.
Good starter project. Night
I watched this video a while back, and a short while afterwards, I was at a flea market. It was closing time and I was walking back to my vehicle to leave, and a vendor was covering up their stuff with a sheet, and I spotted a small rusty old gouge. I asked if they would take $3 for it, it's all I had left. They excepted. It was hard to read, but said, "W M Jackson & Co Shear Island works. The internet says it's old and English. The other side says cast steel. I broke the broken handle off of it the rest of the way, and soaked the blade and ferrule in Evapo rust. Then hit them with my wire brush. Cut the counter bevel with my slip stones, just like you said, (that thing was hard) and sharpened the other side with my Tormek 8. And then made a new handle for it on my lathe. I copied the shape of the old handle, and used the original ferrule, but I made it out of spalted maple. I know that maple isn't ideal for a tool handle, but I wanted to see what it would look like.
Thanks for this very informative video. Trying some of these on a spoon, right now.
I love your work and you were so detailed on how to sharpen the V tool video! I appreciate you so much.
What an amazing video. I love carving and this is so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Thank you for sharing this i just found your stream got some chisels , excited to start. Love your teachings 💜 from Seattle washington USA
Miigwetch, not MiiGretchen
I get so into your carving that at time’s without realizing it I’m blowing away your chips… You are truly a Master at your work… MiiGretchen for sharing
Fantastically done!❤
Hi can you tell me where you get your wood from please, I’ve just bought my first carving tools but I’m struggling to find decent size bass wood, Thankyou.
Fantastic--Thank you!
Where is the depth gauge instructions link?
This has been really useful thankyou A quick question ……What is the wood you are using?
Nice video, I learnt a lot, much apreciated
So simple & great idea & cheap 😊
Great video would love to join, but as a pensioner, it's just too much with the current strain on finances with prices increasing, shinkflation as well with no price reduction often increases as well. With the Aussie $ as low as it is, the exchange price is high for us. I'll keep watching your youtube videos. Would help having a listing of tools here once for those who can't sign up for financial reasons. The last thing I'd want to do is sign up for a month, download as much as I could, and then ask for money back. Wishing you all the best. Have a great 2023 xmas and a healthy and prosperous 2024 New Year.
Uau👏👏👏, que lindo trabalho, parabéns, você explica super bem, e olha que nem entendo muito inglês, mas somente pelo modo que você mostra, gesticula eu compreendi muito bem, parabéns pelo lindo trabalho e pela ótima maneira que explicou.
Hello, there is a nice historical context to the three rabbits in a circle. If you want, you can search in Google for “Christian Trinity symbol” or “three hare window in Paderborn”. Maybe you have a function for translating.
Good info. Thanks.
Thanks Chris this is really useful, I regularly use modified shoe knives, and old putty knives as scrapers but this is a good inexpensive alternative
Plunging the HSS creates micro-fractures. It's better to just let it cool slowly. 😎
@archiehebron8944 - Thanks for that point. I think I didn't make it clear in the video but I frequently dip the hacksaw blade in the water as I grind it, to keep metal cool; I never let the metal get more than hand warm.
@@woodcarvingworkshop1 I wondered about that as I watched. I know that I use a high speed grinder and my tools frequently get a small amount of bluing but that's no trouble as long as I don't shock them.
Absolutely brilliant. Thankyou for sharing
Thank you. I am a huge fan. I have all your books and I've utilized them quite a bit. I really appreciate your style of woodcarving education. The intricate photos and close up details of your tools and techniques are most helpful.
Fantastic, master! Thanks and share more like this!
Wow!!!!!
the number 3 gouge, where can I buy that
That's Love!
This man needs a Joy of Painting type television show. I would watch this for hours and just learn.
Hola, gracias por compartir su conocimiento y talento, hermoso trabajo
Can this be applied to stained wood without messing up the color?
One of the best explanations I've heard yet. Thank you!!
Super job 👏👏 looks easy until you try. Having a fair range of tools helps 😉 keep up the good work 😎
beautiful!
I enjoyed very much watching your video.
Will this also work for my cat?
Thank you for the detailed instructions. The end result is sublime. I love the fact that there is no sanding required.
Beautiful work. It's definitely got a touch of Celtic knotwork in there.
My god it's so frustrating to try and make my tools perform like yours. I can get pretty sharp but no where near as good as yours are. I dropped one of my best u gouges onto concrete which broke off parts of the edge. I have tried to make a new bevel and thought I'd succeeded until I used the chisel and snapped off bits of the edge in the wood I used it on. I went too fine. It looked ok but obviously wasn't at all. I think I'll take my chisels to a professional sharpener and pay him to get them all back to a proper state. It doesn't help that most of my chisels were bought used and hadn't been well looked after by the previous owner. They are all high quality chisels though so that is something at least.
Hello master, Since my English is not good, I did not understand much of what you said. Can you tell me the most suitable types of wood that are suitable for carving? What is the best type of wood? thank you
shahramvedaei8573 - For this style of carving, you need a plain , tight-grained wood. here i am using Jelutong, but you could use, Limewood, Basswood, Brazilian Mahogany, Walnut, Birch - that sort of thing. With open-grained woods, such as oak, the small parts tend to break off, especially where the fibres are short. Hope this helps!
Thanks Chris, an excellent overview and some great tips !
Thankyou. Great demonstration.
Fantastic. Thankyou
Really interesting!
Thanks Chris. A great video. 👴🏻🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing 🙂
