If your a confused beginner wood carver looking at kutzall burrs this video is for you, I show you 3 kutzall burrs that I use all the time and they are also great for beginners. Please be aware power carving burrs can cause injury and the extreme kutzall burr will bite if not respected.

Kutzall burr suggestion in the video

1/8" SHAFT - FLAME BURR - Very Coarse (Extreme) Black in color

1/8" SHAFT - TAPER BURRS - 1/8" X 7/8" (Fine) Gold in color (The long skinny one ;-) )

1/8" SHAFT - SPHERE BURRS - 1/4" X 1/4" (Fine) Gold in color (the smallest sphere kutzall makes, if you carve big carving you could consider the large one)

This is the video I needed 15 years ago when I started using a dremel. These burrs would have saved me so much blood, sweat and tears

I think Kutzall need to pay attention and start selling a 3 peice Mattcarves starter pack.

Thanks Matt, an excellent video which is a boon for this oldtimer beginner, lots of good tips and a nice easy listening presentation, so thanks for sharing and well done to you. off to take a peek at your other videos now as this is the first of yours that I've come across. Kind regards, Tony, (UK)

I really enjoy watching you carve. I’m somewhat new at Dremel carving and I think I’m trying to remove too much wood at one time. I can see watching you, a lighter touch gives you more control. Thanks for teaching your skills.

Great video and just bought a set of burrs with your discount. Thank you! I'm so excited to have better tools. I bought a basic wood carving attachments kit from Ryobi But was excited to watch this video and see that there are better would removal tools

[Mike-oups]

Nice job Mr. Matt. Good beginner tutorial. I liked it. Am also jealous of all them bits you got. 😅

[jjuggernaut]

Yeah, the 1/8 or 1/4 question!!! I hogged out about two cubic feet out of a log THEN I realized they make a 1/4 that fits in a die grinder (HUGE Dremel!!!) OMG soooo much nicer to remove lots of wood fast!!!

Thank you Matt for sharing your wisdom regarding the burrs. I’ve saved the video for future reference.

[mwao]

Seu trabalho é excelente. Estou começando a esculpir e aprendendo muito com seus vídeos. Infelizmente ainda não tenho condições de comprar essas ferramentas maravilhosas, no Brasil não tenho acesso a elas. Muito obrigado pelos vídeos.

[cubaexpress]

Great videos, I would like to have my first Kutzall, is very hard acquire in Cuba, but maybe can I import from USA through family and friends!

[huso]

I would love to get great equipment, but unfortunately it is too expensive for someone living in turkey, but it seems that I will watch from the videos :(

[StanWatt.]

Kutzall is bottom puckeringly expensive here in the UK.

I just unboxed a mastercraft rotary tool I had for almost a year. I really want to try give this carving thing a go. My question is are mastercraft rotary tool and dremel tools the same thing? Can I carve just as good with the rotary tool? Because I always see people use the dremel and not the rotary tool. Anyone who can help I appreciate it
