Carving in fast-forward

[jamis]

After showing a coworker a picture of one of my recently finished projects, he suggested that I record the process next time and edit it into a movie. I took him up on it with my most recent project (picture attached), and finished editing the movie just this afternoon. It's on YouTube if you'd like to see a 3-hour project condensed into just 6 minutes.

Jamis, I really enjoyed the video. For such as small piece, there is still alot of work involved.

Thank-you, Patrick. That is the truth! I've only been carving since August, and I stand in awe of those who carve larger and more intricate pieces.

That was fun watching you carve the spoon, nice job too. Skip

I have three things to say...
1) Wow,that is a small spoon.
2) The Video is awsome. Great job filming, editing, and making it. Always interesting to see other people work. I seem to pick up pointers every time I watch.
3) I think I'm missing out on half the fun of carving because I don't have a bandsaw to do my roughing out. Looks way more efficient than doing it with a knife.

@kitaye, amen to #3! I've had a lot more fun since I got my bandsaw.

Great flick, Jamis! I didn't think you were going to have any metal left on the knife, the way you were sharpening it! LOL Thanks! It was a treat to watch a GOOD movie for a change!

That is a great video. Thanks for posting it. It's good for people just starting out because of the techniques shown.
