Trial and error technique for over 10 years now, and I can 100% say I have *NEVER* watched a dremel tutorial for engraving or taken any class. And this video taught me some very useful things. Great lesson.

Videos like this are better than the garbage on TV. Great job Matt!

When I was a teenager, I used to do this, but with glass. It never occurred to me that you could do this with wood! I might have to give it a try.

Thank you for a very clear step by step tutorial!!! Best I have seen!!! It explains exactly how to do it the right way!!!

I want this tool. Thank you Cornelius for a great lesson. I've seen other videos that don't use the 45 degree angle and they use the burrs around the flower to have the flower stand out but they leave it rough and I didn't like the look so I decided it was too primitive a tool. The flower you carved is lovely and the way you finished it it is something I would do because I am too damn picky to leave something looking rough. I'm not getting any younger and my father has passed away. My father was a master at wood turning, carving, cabinet and furniture making, and any kind of fine wood working. When we remodeled my home which was built in the late 1800's he made replacement molding and rosettes that were damaged while it was an apartment building. I was too busy remodeling my home to learn carving from him but on one occasion I decided that it was my turn to help him. It was a lesson that caused him to give up buying patterns for carving what he wanted to sell. He would copy photographs of flowers, animals, griffins and other mythological creatures that were in back then when we were all stoned, he carved whatever he thought would sell. I learned to embroider when I was 6 from my grandmother and after she died I kept going and learning beyond what she taught me, and no we didn't have YouTube and experts showing us how to do it we had people in shops who would offer lessons for very little and books on the subject to buy. My father wanted to carve a large piece of wood from a design given to him by a good customer which was copied on architectural paper as the man was an architect because the original was too fragile. My Dad practiced on a piece of leftover plywood and tried using the carbon paper taped together but it would slip and he was left with blanks where he didn't press down hard enough and where the tape overlapped and hand prints that smudged the work because it was a beautiful and complex drawing of the man's ancestral village in Japan. My Dad tossed the plywood out the door into the garage and took a break. I had an idea and I took the large drawing and selected a complex section and traced it using tracing paper and an embroidery pencil. I then borrowed an old iron from my Mom and taped the tracing paper on the piece and transferred the pattern as if it were fabric. It worked. Keep in mind that when you use the direct transfer method you are flipping the image which doesn't matter with a flower like the one you used. Once I learned that it worked I helped him with his project by using pencil on the tracing paper and then flipped it and used the embroidery pencil on the flip side of the image. We marked each section with a dot that would come out in the sanding and the carving came out beautifully and his customer was ecstatic. My Dad's thank you gift was a light box he made out of wood with air holes, a sheet of plexiglass and a small florescent light. I loved it and used it, he'd borrow it but I still have it and I use it still. I have so many images that I have saved on my computer but whenever I go to make something that has carving I settle for standard cheap molding because I can't afford real carving knives, which went to my older brother who probably sold them, so I buy molding that is as close as I can get to the design and then it isn't what I want so I sell it the piece. I hate to compromise. Now I get to learn to carve and hopefully my Dad will be looking down and saying to my uncle "yep that's my daughter, always willing to try something new." Hey, just a thought but does this also work on marquetry as

I Remember one Time I Made
A Napkin Holder Out Of Some
Treewood & That Turned Out Good Too.
& I Also Made A Guitarpick From
Some Wood From An Old Cutting
Board I Got From A Friend Of Mine
& That Turned Out Prettygood Too.
I Traced Around A Spoonrest &
Cut It Out & I Put Some Corn Oil
On It & It Looks Just Great.
I Felt So Proud Of Myself.

Matt I watched a vid awhile back you made carving a heart that had awesome newbie tips. Now seeing this and how far you’ve progressed as a carver, it blew me away. Great work man and the way you teach is easy af to understand. Subscribed.

Thank you so much for answering some of my questions and also please keep creating because your videos inspire me everyday

[ZVXM-mmgv]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been searching for very clear explanation about how to begin carving. Please continue making these awesome videos for very very beginners like myself!

[tamikodesiree]

I’m completely new to woodworking and this helped give me the confidence I need to start on my first project. Thank you for sharing these great tips!

[anaarias]

Hi, this tutorial was so amazing and easy to follow. Thank you for your time!

I recently bought the Stylo, and liked it so much I bought a back-up just in case one fails (it's actually called hoarding!)... which I've never burnt out a Dremel as I work mostly with hand tools, but I do enjoy using them from time to time! 😂👍👍

[TheWrightTimes]

That led lamp is great. So handy. The rechargeable multi head screwdriver kit looks decent.

[MarkPeyton]

Awesome video bro! Love the thumbnail as well!!

[rdEyeOpen]

Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial and for sharing the links!

[lauragraves]

Beautiful work sir thank you. 😊 it's amazing what a person can do with one of those.

Just received a Stylo+ as a gift. Glad to see it has guts for that flame burr. I use a Kutzall flame (most Kutzall burrs) now, due to arthritis. Now I'm not so scared to put it in the Stylo. Hope you have tons of videos with your Stylo, I might just have to have a binge watching weekend 🥳. Thanks a bunch for your time to share your work/artistic talent/enthusiasm, for wood working. 👏🏻
