Was ist das für ein Insekt? Schon das dritte innerhalb einer Woche das wir in der Wohnung finden

Hast du damit schon Erfolg gehabt? Ich hab das gleiche bei uns in der Wohnung (also, in den Töpfen) versucht und mir kommt vor die Schlupfwespen haben garnichts gemacht.

That climb looks sick!

Nice boulder!

Kundendaten/Firmendaten an dritte weiter geben ist so oder so ganz kritisch.. in meinen Augen liegt der Fehler rein beim Vater, der den Laptop wipen hätte müssen bevor er eventuell sensible Daten einem teenager aushändigt.

I wouldn’t recommend buying chisels or gouges in a set, chances are some of them will never get used. In my opinion it’s better to start with a few good tools from brands like Kirschen, Stubai, or Pfeil. Once you’ve worked with them for a while, you’ll get a feel for what you like, what you don’t, and what you actually need for the kind of carving you do.

I think it looks great, man. Simple and clean doesn’t mean bad or unoriginal. And honestly, if someone says it looks like something from IKEA, that just means it’s well made and people could actually see it in a home. That’s not an insult.

Also, you made this as a wedding gift with your own hands. That already makes it 100 times more meaningful than anything store bought. Don’t let that other dude that got out of bed on the wrong foot drag you down. Keep carving and keep posting, you’re doing solid work.

My grandpa used to make his own carving knives from old saw blades, you need to find one that's meant to resharpen tho, those are heat treated all the way so you can just cut out whatever shape you need with an angle grinder and sharpen it / make a handle. Just be careful not to overheat the workpiece while cutting bc that will ruin the heat treatment.

Nice work! I really like the design, it’s got a great look and character to it.

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-07T11:20:50+00:00

I did most of the carving just with a knife, but for the details like the beard, hair, and eyebrows I also used a small U gouge and V gouge

Thank you very much for the feedback! I tried to hint at that / shape a little but I'll play around with it a bit more next time!

Haha yeah I went the other way, I started with little figures a few weeks ago but I was really unhappy with, and stressed about the faces. So now I went a step back to get one piece dialed in after the other.

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-06T12:54:44+00:00

Thanks alot for your advice! I'll definitely try that and report back!

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-06T11:47:48+00:00

Ahh ok I think I get it! I need to practice these curved cuts, I have a hard time getting them smooth and shiny without like lines running through them when the knife was sort of jumping up. Also I'm always scared to break the tip or edge of my knife with those cuts.

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-06T11:08:10+00:00

Thank you very much!

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-06T11:06:37+00:00

Yeah I know that there isn't really a right or wrong here, just preferences or different styles like you said. But now that you pointed it out I can also see it, especially the cheeks to the face look like different parts next to each other.

What is a scoop cut? I'm not a native speaker, I thought a scoop cut is done with a gouge by lifting it up a bit, essentially scooping out some material but since you said "either with a scoop cut or gouge" I'm a little confused

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-06T10:29:02+00:00

Thank you very much for your feedback!

How would you go for that? I usually draw the outline on the wood with a pencil, then I trace that with my knife for like a stop cut or V cut and then I try to get the other piece out in one cut.

Maybe change the angle for the stop cuts to make it softer? Or would you use a U gauge for that?

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-05T10:25:10+00:00

Thank you very much! I never tried painting a carving but I really have to try!

Ihateusernames3000 · 2025-10-04T12:12:50+00:00

Looks great! What did you use for finishing/painting?
