Two Stage Carving in Easel (Easier Than You Think!)

How to do two stage carving in Easel (a free software for the XCarve) is quite easy with this step by step video. I explain all the steps in Easel and show some of the pitfalls that get people into trouble that causes poor results. For this demo, I using the least expensive cedar which is extremely soft wood.

I also want to thank all my supporters for hitting this milestone of
200 subscribers to my channel is less than three months. I'm so excited at how fast the channel is growing and I'm so happy that people are finding this channel from all over the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Lol, I must be behind. Just caught on to your channel and have had my xcarve for over a year and now I’ve learned the 2 stage carving. Not without watching a few times. I going to have to watch more of your videos to catch up. Thanks for the info.

[johncoleman]

Loving your videos! Did my first few runs on my X carve last night and have had good success

[davidnordstrom]

You rock sir! Thank you for your service. I just got my X Carve. I have done a few things. Two stage is what I am having problems with. Both work area and wood shows both pocket and name. When it carves only carves the box. I have followed your steps on many others. This one is stumping me. Thanks for any advice.
