Nice work!! Kevlar gloves will protect little fingers while cutting :)

There is a lot of good information and knowledgeable people on this sub, they got me off on the right foot.

First and best piece of advice that I recieved: get a kevlar glove like this one. That is the one that I got and it has saved my fingers a TON.

If you have any other specific questions, feel free to ask. I am still a noob but if I can't send you in the right direction someone else might be able to.

Edit: Oh, and what kind of wood are you using? That can make a HUGE difference in the difficulty. Basswood is basic, relatively easy to carve and fairly cheap to order online.

I turned my nose up at moisturizing until I started working in a job that requires using hand sanitizer and washing my hands every twelve seconds, and my hands started drying out and cracking. The patients are supposed to bleed on you, not the other way around.

I also was unsure of it because I didn't like the idea of getting grease all over everything after putting moisturizer on my hands. My ex wore fuzzy cotton gloves, but it would still get through that and grease-stain everything. Then I found gloves like these, which let you retain a lot of dexterity and sensitivity, but don't let the stuff through, and now I moisturize my hands every day.

For cold weather I just go to a local hardware store and try some on since I want something that doesn't fit too snug in the winter. I try not to get the winter ones dirty so that they last longer especially getting oil based liquids in them.This are what I use for general use. If it's decent outside these are my go to. The cut resistant seems to let them last longer. These have been the best rubber gloves I've used. I worked an airline that had them free stock and we dealt with skydrol and they worked like a charm. They fit tight so you could grip things easily. I use these currently for general use and they work okay. 5606 won't cause issues but fuel, skydrol, and solvent cleaner melts them. I used these when I was a fueler And I still have them in my garage. They worked well.

If you are interested in carving things like these then head over to Doug Outsides YouTube and he has great tutorials on all of them.

The only thing you will need to get yourself started tomorrow for very cheap would be the Xacto carving knife which you can get from Michaels for $12 but they have coupons every single day of at least 50% off one regular priced item. Also you can pick up a pack of basswood from there for about $5. So for less than $15 you can carve those items in my picture by tomorrow night.

If you enjoy it I can point you in the direction of better knives et cet.

Also a cut resistant carving glove is a must but the fastest you could probably get that is Amazon prime in about 2 days

Get at least one counter lowered to chair-height. You can cook pretty much anything you want while sitting in a chair.

If you're reasonably coordinated, but lack strength, you can cut lots of stuff with a mandoline (make absolutely certain you buy and use a safety glove)

This is gonna sound crazy, but cheap woven Kevlar gloves are the best thing ever, you lose almost no dexterity, they won't ignite, or conduct, and will withstand 500c temps. I have been using these solely for about 10 years now tig welding, and the only time my hand ever gets to the point of feeling burning is welding heavy aluminum when i'm burning down to the last nub of filler rod. 99% of the time i wear a single layer of them, occasionally i'll double up on high amperage parts. The nice thing about them is that unlike leather gloves they won't get hard spots at the finger tips from over exposure to heat, and they last just as long as more expensive leather gloves

Can’t recommend Dex Fit enough, they’re the best ones I’ve ever found. Thin enough to handle bolts and set pins, warm, super thin and grippy, last reasonably well, cut resistant, work for touchscreens if needed, machine washable (I use them for gardening too now), available in black.

They're cheap, and they're your buddies:

If it is alright with you, I'd also like to strongly recommend cut resistant steel gloves, such as these.

Even if this is only an occasional activity, nothing takes the fun out of a job well done than an injury.

I use dexfit bought them from Amazon.

There touch screen compatible just put your t.c (if you ever get one) on glove mode.

Huh. I've never had a whipped cream dispenser get so cold that it was a problem before. If it were me, I'd try something like these gloves:

For gloves I would recommend something more like these

Don’t want them to be too hot. If they have specific requirements, they should be providing the gloves.

Carving gloves similar to these - and you really only need one for the hand holding the carving. Throw the "always cut away from yourself" out of the window - it won't always work. I'd suggest looking up Gene Messer and Doug Outside on YouTube for some good carving videos. Tools will depend on what you want to make.

Layers are key for any outfit, as is caring for your gear.

Boots: Waterproof boots are a must. I like Wolverine's. Whatever the brand, get them large enough to wear at least two pairs of socks (a liner sock and an insulative) inside. For me that's about a ½ size larger. Get "wide's" if necessary. If the boots are the right size, then the sock layers will stay dry and warm. Too tight will result in cold, damp feet.

Gloves: if he's required to wear cut resistant ones, I'd recommend these. Get two pairs. One for general use, and one to keep clean for handling finishes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07892TQ3N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cWB3Db3AABXG6

I prefer a good pair of insulated bib overalls with a hooded sweatshirt and warm hat for most of my warmth. I'll wear a waterproof Carhartt coat over the top if it's snowing. Buy high quality stuff that will last a long time- I usually get about 5 years out of my big pieces of outerwear.

I use a combo of these two. Dex Fit first then the fingerless over them. Can still handle mail easily and my hands stay warm. Fingertips still do get a bit cold when it’s real freezing out, but much better than bare skin.

Sorry for formatting. On mobile.

Curious at how are your thumbs getting hurt? Without knowing that I'm not sure what type of glove would help you or if it would be better to just change your technique. That said just to throw one out there I know a couple people who use these gloves for other types of work and like them. Supposedly work well so long as you aren't dealing with grease or oil.

I'll look into all of that, cheers.

I think trying that would require al least something like this

NAH. Buy him one of these chain-gloves tho that the people at panera and delis use
