I've had some luck with used pallets, it's total wood carving kit etsy videos over the timber used but they have the advantage of being reasonably common and free. Junk furniture the hidden framing might be lime. My thumb guard will usually last me months before it gets cut through. Welcome to the forum and to our hobby. Quick View Item 05J Number 2. Autosol is also a really good shout.

I've gotten ahold of a few books, am following Doug Linker and like his ethos of 'goofy' carving and making things that make him smile. My focus for the foreseeable will be on whittling little figures and animals. Is this a seasonal thing or a COVID-related supply issue made worse by people like me joining the hobby.. Tags: None. Brian T. Welcome from the far west in the Rockies. In part there's a very small niche market for woods and carving tools.

You might need to find off-cuts from cabinet makers. Junk furniture the hidden framing might be lime. Knives, you're stuck unless you have an appetite to build your own. Are you game to try? It's a flake of steel in a handle you carve to fit your hands. Might be various blades that you can repurpose with hand tools, not a metal shop. Comment Post Cancel.

Welcome to the forum and to our hobby. Ed Living in a pile of chips. Whittling with knives is perhaps an American form of carving. Traditional European carvers are taught to use gouges, and knives are "frowned upon.

There are a lot of different tools available to the UK. You can find a lot of these on Amazon UK. As to the wood, search for hardwood Wood Carving Kit Etsy 200 timber merchants. Welcome to a great hobby and starting out is full of questions and learning. Not familiar with the UK but maybe some carving clubs around you?

Many people carve pine and other species, although basswood is the most popular in the US. Good luck and glad to have another UK member.

BTW, Doug is a great person to learn from. Bill Living among knives and fire. Not sure were you are in the UK but there are a carving glubs or groupes in many of the Shires.

They are a great source of information about tools and timber. Here is a page that may be helpful. We live in the land of the free because of the brave! Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond and good to see where everyone is dotted about. Brian - I'm itching to get involved with more to do with the hobby, but one of the reasons i took it up was to have a 'shoebox' hobby, where all the kit I need could sit in a single shoebox I've allowed for a bandsaw too.

My other hobby is homebrewing beer, which takes up a significant space around the house so I'm gonna hold fire on knife-making for a bit. Beer and sharp knives are also not a good mix Thanks to those who posted links - some of them don't appear working but I appreciate the sentiment. As regards tools, I've got some flexcut knives on order, so I'll have to be patient.

The shout on carving clubs is a good one. I'm down in Kent in the South East so once we get out of this wonderful lockdown 4 months and counting now..

I hope to meet up with some likeminded people! Last edited by WoodyWoodpicker ; , AM. Just as an idea on the "knife" issue, take a look at Outwest Woodcarving and see what Lynn D does with a plain, ole boxcutter.

Welcome dude. I'm only new to forum too. Hi Woody, I'm at much the same state as yourself, I've also been watching Doug and I've had some success with a few of his simple carving projects love his new Wednesday live shows, great humour! An Open Forum Discussion What tools do you need to start carving?

What tools do you recommend for your first time carvers? Can you suggest a blog, thread, article, or posting that you believe has valuable information for our first time knife-to-the-wood hobbyists? My personal opinion: What tool sets I do recommend. This common question is very hard to answer because the tools and knives you may be using one year from now could well be very different than those that I suggest for a newbie carver.

If you are just starting wood carving I strongly suggest a simple set of carving tools. Sets are available in 6 to 12 tools, and often come with a storage box or cloth roll. To this set add the best bench knife or large chip knife that you can afford.

Your bench knife is your primary tool in carving and the better quality steel makes all the difference in how easy your carving flows through the cuts.

Interchangeable blade sets are also excellent for the new carve. As an example I use the FlexCut 11 piece Interchangeable set all the time for whittling, relief, and cane carving. This set has every tool profile that a new carver needs while keeps your initial costs low. You will also need a sharpening set to keep the edge of your new tools crisp.

Sharpening tools can include ceramic stones, a leather strop, honing compound, and a slipstrop. What I do not recommend for the beginning carver!

These sets are very inexpensive because they are not manufactured from high quality steel. Often they come un-sharpened or only partially sharpened, which means that you must conquer sharpening techniques before you ever put a knife into the wood. I know, those sets are just beyond beautiful and the very best you can buy. And I know that I just told you to buy the best bench knife you can afford … But … neither you nor I know whether you will love wood carving with the intensity that I do at this point in your new hobby.

We also can not predict what style of carving you will finally chose. These tools can be purchases after you discover that you are addicted to carving! So, at this time, save that money to purchase wood. While I do list utility knives as a possible starting tool kit I do not recommend them.

Utility knives are made to be disposable and do not have the steel strength that true wood carving tools do. Utility knife blades can crack, split, and pop at any moment, and create a danger of injury.

Last edited by Irish ; , PM. Tags: knives , sharpening , tools. Hello Who has never carved wood, do not know how difficult it can be to carve. I am also a German carver forum. There I have already seen many who once carved something, and then never again! Often one can read at manufacturers of carving tools, "wood can carve everyone".

That's not true! They just say it because they want to sell their tools. For the beginner, it depends in my opinion to test whether he has fun at all carving. A good carving knife and a piece of "soft basswood wood" are enough to test this. Best regards. Comment Post Cancel. I don't know you feel Claude but if she keeps posting great info like this the forum might have to open a section just for Irish Stickies!

Irish has given a good review of the trade-offs that beginning carvers face when choosing their first tools. Perhaps no choice can guarantee a rewarding experience with wood carving. How does a beginner learn what a good tool feels like in use? At our carving club meeting I saw a beginner struggling with his knife.

He had tried sharpening it, but it didn't work. I suggested that he try using my favorite knife - brand unimportant. It was an instant "A-Hah" experience. He knew immediately what stood in the way of his rewarding experience. We have all seen the videos of carving experts, their tools slicing effortlessly through the wood.

Beginners need to experience the FEEL of that process. Let's not forget safety. At the very least, one needs a thumb guard or some kind of thumb protection.

I personally prefer a good carving glove on both hands , but maybe that's a just a habit I formed back when I used to drink and carve at the same time DON'T!!! Honkety Hank toot toot.
