Hell yeah -- any recommendations on places to start, things to know? I bought a bunch of basswood, a Flexcut detail knife, a Narex chisel, some accessories (gloves, strop, etc.). Going in totally blind off the high of seeing Youtubers who know way more than me lol.
Totally fair, don't mean to conflate the two because they're definitely different. No goals! I think I'm gonna make some spoons and bowls, little figurines and jewelry maybe. Again, just want to produce something with my hands and put energy into something like that.
Honestly going to go into it not caring and just learning cuts and techniques for a while before trying anything for real.
