<p>Woodcarving is very satisfying. Back in the 90s I made puppets out of wood; I would rough them out on the bandsaw and then sit on the porch and whittle the days away. YouTube's <a href="http://youtube.com/user/whittler0507" target="_blank">whittler0507</a> breaks it on down. He's actually got over 100 videos about woodcarving, which is very impressive! Watch a few and you'll be good at woodcarving in no time! </p><p> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3H30bbEauzo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3H30bbEauzo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />You can get started with a few tools, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_9&amp;listing_id=11654150">a nice blade</a> and a V-shaped gouge. You can carve any type of wood, but I'd suggest getting some nice carving material, such as basswood. Once you get started, you may eventually set up with a bandsaw and more tools, but it's great to start simple. </p><p><em>If you've got any woodcarving tips, leave a note in the comments!</em></p><p><em>Check out our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/video-how-to/">past How-To videos</a>!</em><br /> </p>
