Thank you for these videos. My husband passed, unexpectedly, before he could even start a new project for our sons. The wood arrived the day after he passed and I know what he was planning in a general sense. I'm going to start and finish the project but I have a huge learning curve to overcome. These videos are a really big help!

[lynjermey]

There is something so wonderful and kind about the way you speak to everyone in your tutorials. You are a great teacher, thank you.

[jeffreyletscher]

I'm just starting out and I get easily discouraged that I can't do a project so thanks for the encouragement and your videos.

I draw with charcoals and you're 100% right about confidence. In case it's still hard for people to have confidence in themselves, just use this little mind trick. Pick a project that looks extremely difficult that you'd be super proud of if you were able to do it and get to it. It's a win/win as long as you attempt a very difficult piece. If you don't do a perfect job, everyone will still be super impressed because they can see just how difficult it is and how well you still did. No one expected you to be able to do as good as you did. On the other hand, if you do a great job, you still win but then you'll see just what you're capable of and that project will become a keepsake you'll never part with.

astonishingly simple yet sound advice, esp that last bit on confidence.

I really liked your last tip to “believe in yourself.” I just finished my first wood carving project — a Christmas present for my wife — and I was really skeptical if I would be able to do what I wanted to do, let alone finish it in time for Christmas. So I got my siblings in on the process and would send them pictures of my progress so they could help me stay motivated. I’m proud to say that I did finish it and I think it looks pretty good for my first project. I can’t wait to do more!

Just got a dremel today your video helped alot

[wolfveinandroses]

So glad I found your channel! I'm planning a project for a wedding gift to my soon-to-be husband. He's great with tools, especially the dremel. I, however, have no experience. So I thought this project would surprise and impress him. Luckily a family friend of ours is gonna help and supervise me.
I really needed to hear the #1 mistake. I am easy to fall into those self-doubting moments. Thank you so much for your time, effort, and encouragement. <3 Hopefully all goes well and who knows. I may find a new hobby.

If you think you can't, you are probably right. Don't defeat yourself. And be humble.
Very good points and tips you are sharing. Thank you for sharing.

Believing in your abilities is as powerful as knowing your limits. Having faith in yourself is how you overcome those limits. We are capable of so much more than we often realize. Good stuff, Matt!

Ohhhh! Thank you!!! #1 Believe in Yourself!! I was talking to the owner of a gallery where I have sold many of my art pieces. He said to me: Start wood carving on your work. I said, "I don't know how." He said, "Learn how and start doing it. Why haven't you?" I said, "I'm afraid I'll cut my fingers (joking)." He said, "Get gloves. Start now." You inspired me! Thank you again!

Thanks for the confidence tips!! I’m trying to regain my confidence in life and it’s a daily effort

[traceyhall]

Thank you for your motivational comments and reassurances. I feel those negative feelings about everything I do but am able push through them in most intances. You have given me a positive boost to pick up my dremmel, my drawing pad, sit down at my sewing machine and serger, and do what I'm told I am good at.
Self-belief...so hard to acquire...foster...encourage...maintain, so once again thank you.

[ROSSMAC]

So glad I have found your tutorials. Thanks from Australia

[henryfarron]

I got a power carver today for Christmas and I came across your channel looking for tutorials great channel

[coritraylor]

You are my current instructor as this is new territory for me. I appreciate your precise and clear instruction! I know there is lot of "bros" watching your videos but some ladies out here too.

[karthiganapathi]

Very Encouraging all beginners. Very Nice of you. Great talent and Human touch.

[michaelguida]

Love your videos. I am a real beginner at high speed carving and have learned a lot from your videos. Since finding your channel I've been binge watching. Cant. wait for warm weather to get back out to the garage and try out what Ive learned. Thank you for the great videos

[drkngel]

Your #1 tip is so very true! I was tasked with building a large draw leaf dining table for my in-laws. I've never even heard of that style before and one thing I learned from that is take the project in steps and believe in your skills to build your confidence so you can build upon your existing skill set. I want to get started in carving and have been watching your videos to get an idea of what to expect and they have been very helpful and informative, this one especially.

[anthonydalessio]

All of your videos are extremely inspiring and informative! They've taught me so much even before I engaged in my 1st project! ..
Half way through now, I am having tremendous success, and can't believe what I'm seeing and doing thanks to you and your videos!!!
