What tools do novice woodcarvers need to get started?

Wood carving beginners' tools include hand knives, electric knives and saws.

Tools 1: Woodworking Carving Knife-Hand Knife:

Round knife: the best, most commonly used and most important knife. I bought a whole set. Basically, the most commonly used knives are round knives of various sizes. Therefore, it is necessary for beginners, and it is recommended to start with a set from big to small. Irresponsible recommendation: the blade width is 2cm, 1cm, 0.5cm. It is not recommended to buy a shallow bend, and it is not recommended to buy a small hand knife.

Flat knife: it is enough to buy a 1CM. What's the use of digging a right angle? Basically, it has been replaced by a round knife in function. In fact, cutting with a flat knife is more labor-saving and easy to use than with a round knife, and the blade is smooth.

Tool 2: Woodworking Carving Knife-Electric Knife

The first tooth pusher. Concentric axis means that the electric carving knife is fixed on the wood and stands still after being fitted with a fine-pointed knife. You can see whether a small round hole carved by it is a hole obviously larger than the tip of a knife or a circle. This is the mass of the concentric shaft. Good machines with concentric axes have high engraving accuracy and precision. Therefore, the dental machine for drilling teeth has become a good friend of the wooden friends. You don't think concentric axis is good. When filling a tooth, I accidentally opened a big hole in the tooth and the whole tooth was destroyed.

There are two kinds of drill bits (engraving heads) with diameters of 3mm and 2.3mm, both of which can be used, and there are many drill bits. Which one to choose depends on your hobby. After use, I feel that 3.0mm is better, with more grinding heads and more choices.

Tool 3: Saw

Hand saw: it is mainly used to saw wood, or to saw rough wood to the required size, usually geometric figures. Wire saw: it is mainly used for shaping, cutting out the outline of carving sketch, reducing the workload of carving and improving efficiency.
