Chainsaw Carving for Beginners - By A Beginner- PT:1

(There isn't a rule book with chainsaw carving). Welcome Everyone! its my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY CHAINSAW CARVING!!! The first thing I want to say is that you don't have to follow anything I tell you in this video.- I would advise you to be safe and careful with chainsaws because they can be dangerous.-
SUBSCRIBE to catch part 2 - Tools and Woods and Part 3- finishes, sealers, cracks and moving forward. Head over to my channel to see more carving videos.
This video will hopefully answer or get you in a direction to find the answers that a lot of beginner carvers including myself have when first starting off.
I fully understand this video is long and is crammed with my own opinions I formed from my own experiences with starting off. Please know I am still a beginner carver and I continue to learn new things everyday.
Carving can be as simple or complex, as you the carver, wants to make it.
My thoughts may help but do not be afraid to make your own path.
PLEASE be respectful to others in the comments.
Be Safe and have fun!

Here is some shops , sites and channels I have been and enjoyed. I know they aren't the only places and please forgive for leaving off places or people. I'm still new and going down the rabbit hole of carving as well.
