To answer your question about what “we” see and what not…This is one of your things I most admire. I do not see it, and I understand it depends on years of experience I lack. It may be also that at the moment I’m studying copying existing models and “your” way of creating based upon our common past gives the maker the chance to explore it even more…
Being able to see those beautiful forms appear is one of the nicest thing of looking at your videos…
Thanks.

Thank You!

Dear Alex, you are using a lot of cuts in this project #9-5mm. But I don’t still understand what it is? Is it Aurio? Where you getting it? And what is the proper discription of this tool?

Michael, Thank You for the question. Yes, You are correct. This gouge #9 made buy Auriou. It is a fishtail gouge and a very short cutting part. I love this tool because I can get with it to spots in my carving that standard tools won’t be able to. Otherwise, it is just a gouge like other gouges. It is #9, and it is true half round.

Hi, and thank you for the excellent lessons. I was surprised to see you roughing out the right hand pipe with a straight cut, not curved to match the general movement like the pipe on the left. I thought, “That will look awkward: he will change that later.” But you didn’t and it looks really good. I’m not sure why it looks good! After all, it’s a straight line in a world of curves. Maybe because it fits the mix of the other elements around it? Why does it work?

It does fit other elements around. I am looking at overall movement.
