    Terrible Ted, I carved this from an old English Elm beam and added clock and watch parts to make my steampunk bear, the gun stock is mahogany and the saw blades are old bowsaw blades.

    Anyone know what this type of chisel is called? It came in an otherwise-standard cheap set of palm chisels I bought online and is extremely useful for carving, but I can’t find any higher-quality chisels with this shape

    [Help!] Having trouble cutting concave curves.

    [Help!] Having trouble cutting concave curves.

    I've been carving now for about a few weeks total over the last year. I don't get a lot of time to do it, and I'm honestly struggling with it more than I've struggled with similar crafts.

    I'm currently trying to carve a chess set for myself. I figured it was something nice and simple, a good skill-building exercise.

    But when I cut concave curves, I cannot seem to get the knife to come out of the cut. It just seems to want to either cut deeper or just split the wood. You can see in these pictures the inside of the curves all have bits where I've gotten the knife stuck and had to pull it out.

    ​

    A more-or-less finished piece that needs cleaning up.

    A WIP piece that's on its way to being a clone of the above piece.

    I have two carving blades: One traditional one and what I think is a spoon gouge (I don't know the terminology).

    ​

    My knives

    It seems to me that I need to get a thinner blade, but I've seen people cut sharper curves than this with exactly the same knife I have. I've tried using the tapered end to get in there to some success, but I still seem to get caught in the deeper parts of a curve.

    I've tried to use the curved edge of the spoon gouge in these deeper areas, but it just gets stuck in a curved cut, rather than a straight one, which leads to worse tearouts.

    The knives are both very sharp; I do my own sharpening and I don't have a problem with my other tools. That was the my first instinct when I noticed the issue.

    These pieces are cut in basswood, simply because it's supposed to be a good beginner wood.

    Any advice?

    Dremel 3000 or Dremel Stylo - small handed person problem

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 03:33 AM PDT

    Hello everybody,

    I am rather new to wood carving and just hand carved a few easy projects (spoons and mushrooms). I am now looking into buying a Dremel. Now my question is: do I buy the Dremel 3000 or the Dremel Stylo? I've got the impression that the 3000 is much more versatile and probably the better choice for more projects. Thing is, my hands are pretty small (like, real small) and I don't know if the 0.5kg wouldn't be a bit rough to handle for me when it comes to detailed working.

    I'd be very happy if anyone could give me any advice since I'm a little lost and really want to start working with a Dremel but also don't want to buy the ´wrong´ thing.

    Thanks already - I wish you all a very happy day!
