Matt Carves
New Zealand
Приєднався 18 жов 2020
Hi everyone, welcome to my power carving channel. My name is Matt (Hence the channels name) and I love carving. I mainly use a Dremel as my go to weapon of choice. I mainly carve small sculptures out of wood and broken skateboards.
I taught myself how to paint in my 20s and fell in love with creating all sorts of objects, in 2007 I went to art school and ended up doing a bachelor of fine arts (with Hons), specializing in Sculpture. Although I did not learn to sculpt wood at university the basic principles of making art applies to any medium. Thus, over the last 3 years I have been making wooden jewellery to sell, and on the side, I have been making other projects out of wood. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand with my wife in a small beach settlement, we live a simple life, but it is full of creativity.
We also foster dogs that have been rescued. This provides me with a little company in the daytime as it is sometimes a bit lonely in the workshop for 8 hours a day.

Beginner Dremel Carvers what size should you carve?
Our brand new dremel 3000 kit did not come with Collet AND none of the shafts fit thru the hole on the collet nut. What the heck? Guess we are going back to Ace Hdwe. Okay. Collet jammed up into collet nut so with it now loosened shank fits. Glad I took another look at it.
Got it, rings for each 16th of an inch, not how to identify the size of the shaft of the burrs?
Dang, Now I need to get a different collet for the tool
That's the life of power carvers. Always buying more tools. Cheers for watching 👍
@@MattCarves so true.

Found Collet, it was jammed up into collet nut so tight no tool shank would fit. Once I got it unjammed all was good. (Wife was “helping”, so that’s my excuse…..)
Good to hear you got it sorted 👍
@@MattCarves I looked at it BY MYSELF…
Good to see you breaking out the big tools! I always regret burning my larger carvings too, never works for me but you brought it back to make a great wizard!
Cheers Claire. Yeah it looked terrible sanded it back for ages. Probably will stick to wood dyes in the future. Hope your well and enjoying summer ☀️
Where you buy those bits ?
Here is an Affilate link for them 10 Luo ke 7 Pcs Diamond Cutting Burr, 1/8" Shank amzn.to/4aXX3bQ

Great video Mat loved it I’d love to see beach combing one day NZ has some of the best beaches 🧙♂️
Yeah we have some great beaches. Unfortunately no cedar on our beaches though. I did carve this from a piece of driftwood ua-cam.com/video/syIvryyZHM0/v-deo.htmlsi=HNT91iToetPhW0q4

@@MattCarves Oops I expressed myself wrong! You teach us to take our time!
Cool carvings. Does the hard wood blunted your tools
Yep, hard woods are rough on tools. Cheers for watching 👍
@@MattCarves thanks for posting. Awsome
Nice wood spirits and mellow music.I like your band saw,my's 38 years young and 6 feet tall and runs like a top for a use $80. one is not bad Matt🎉
Awesome, cheers. Yeah it's good to have a nice band saw, yours sounds like a keeper 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
Another winning carving. Very nice Matt. I have been doing some carvings in Red cedar after I burn the logs (Shou Sugi Ban). The color contest is amazing I have made a few videos on the carvings. I’d really like to see you do some carving with this material. I’d really like to see what you could make from this!!
Very cool! I just looked at your video. It got me thinking for sure. 👍😊
I just bought some red feeder for carving. I would really like to see your videos but can't seem to find the link to it.
@@MattCarves awesome

What are the dimensions of your original block. I love your variation of the comfort bird and the way you added in the wing feature. Keep on carving.
The birds dimensions are 2.5 inches long, 1.9 in high and a width of 1.6 inches. Cheers for watching 👍

Great video bet that took ages to edit ❤❤
Yeah, for sure. Only other video editors would catch that. Cheers for watching Roy 👍
Matt your work always speaks for itself. Most outstanding to be sure.
Thank you Linda for your kind words. 👍
Not one word spoken in the entire video .....& none were needed!!! The carving did al lthe talking, I was mesmerized the entire video, perfect music choice, absolutely amazing Matt
Cheers Criss. Might do a few more non talking ones in the future.
Very cool vid and carving!🌝
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful carving , matt . ❤
Thank you very much! 😀
Wow, from the big burrs to the tiny ones, such an amazing carve Matt! 😊 So many details and all. Just perfect 👌
thank you Sylva👍
Amazing work, and a great video 🙌
Thank you 🙌
Loved this video Matt! The eagle is beautiful, very well done!
Actually turned out better than I thought it would. Cheers for watching Claire
Wait.. your in New Zealand. Don’t you have cool fallow deer and dinasours there
Lol. Lots of Hobbits running around, too. 👍
That makes you even cooler
I want to see Australia someday
Even better a second time round. Love the detail on the feathers 👍👍👍
Cheers Mark. Hope you had a good weekend 😊
@@MattCarves yeah not bad, ive been catching up on some carving work. It's to wet to do the gardening and lawns.
Great to see how you did the eyes. And the feathers. And the finish. Guess I liked it all!
Cool, cheers 🍻
I’m curious how long did this take you to carve. I’ve been watching at least one of your video a day and have been for about a month awesome
It took a good 8hours, that includes filming it. It was also the first eagle I have carved so would be faster on the 2nd one. Cheers 👍
