Enjoying carving with you. Like the style a lot. As you do.. helpful to keep little finished carving on one side. I'll take some pictures of finished pieces. Thank you

Have fun at the event

Carving is with purpose and whittling only about relaxing with a smooth cutting knife making only shavings. Or exactly as you said 😅

Where’s it start though? If you take a tree down with a saw is it now woodcarving? If you start with a cut out, is that woodcarving because a saw was used?

After I try my hand at carving your dwarf I’m going to follow this painting tutorial. Thanks for posting it. By the way, which video show how to make the antiquing wash?

Whoosh! The best definition I have heard.

Thank you for this. I just ordered the danish oil, paste wax, brushes, and some 2x2 blocks. I’m looking forward to following one of your carving tutorials soon!

Enjoyed this a lot, Johnny. Quick question: After washing, do you allow the carvings to dry (completely, or at all) before you paint/stain them? Thanks very much!

Thank you, this was helpful.

Very nice ranger, clean and simple and full of character, just like your presentation of the carving process. PS, you missed a few phone "ping" edits at about 11:00 and 34:00

Do you ever sign and date your pieces?

Love the ranger gnome!! I started carving gnomes and now I’m going back to them.. can’t wait to see what is next! Thanks Johnny.👍🏻

I really like painting videos, I always learn something new.

Great looking piece, I enjoy doing 1x1 carvings. Looking forward to the painting video.

Johnny it seemed weird to see you put a glove on

I enjoyed part 1 and 2 of the gnome Rangers. Your carvings are fun and simple. Which makes it fun🎉 instead of tedious and depressing 😢. The more complex the carving, the easier to fumble and cut myself. Lol. Thanks for spending time and us.

Those are great pieces Johnny ..Love the look of the pieces

Very cool little project…thank you sir.

Great video. I like that you’re having such a good time. 👍

Thanks a lot, Johnny, and I just finished a few 1x1 scaled down Viking Warriors. Will start this one tomorrow. Really like the 1x1's carvings.

Awesome ! Good job. Looking forward to it...............

Thanks for the lesson, I think I might try and attempt it.

Great inspiration and great video. I really like the dark colours on your Thor figurine - what kind of oil do you use?

The only downfall is finding a place to set it down. If you need to have both hands-free, I made a little stand that the dowel fits into so it holds the carving as long as it’s not too heavy.😊👍🤷‍♂️

Small dowel size of a pencil take a wood screw drill a small hole in the end of the dowel cut the head of the screw off stick in the hole screw it down in if you can then the sharp point you can screw into the bottom of your carving and hold a stick and you don’t have to touch your painting

Great video I’m gonna write some of the measurements down on a piece of paper and then I’m gonna try carving one but also like to see a video on those flowers over in the corner by your carousel they look interesting. Thanks for the video.

Please keep these videos up, the carving world needs more RUclipsrs like you ❤👏👏👏

I also love Danish oil

Love the red accents- someone credited this technique to you on Reddit which got me in to watching your videos I’l be having a go at painting like this!

Love this design- will be trying it! Subbed

Correct but for storage problems, thanks Johnny

I got told the same thing when cos I've ordered so many blocks haha😅

I believe you have a gift in teaching.

Harder to stay focused on safety but I think sharp tools and firearms should never be aimed at anything you don't want to cause damage to.. Thanks for reminding myself and everyone safety and perhaps you do prevent a or many people from pain or real damage .

Cute!!! 🥰

Second video of yours that I’ve watched. Dude, what a great demeanor you have. Informative and entertaining. Kudos. 👍 Edit: They sell slow or variable speed grinders. Food for thought. Edit 2: Noooo, not the Flexcut! 😂

Just got the vice for my DMTs from Woodworkers. Well worth the money…

Wow. You’ve done a fantastic job on this video. 👏 I have zero doubt, that you’ve helped all the beginners to carving that have come to realize that wood carvers are first, sharpeners. Well done. 👍 Edit: Subscribed

Great video Johnny ...I love power sharpening and thank you for expalining

So cool!

Thank you Johnny, I'm new to wood carving and didn't know how to sharpen my new knives which my kind wife bought me, they are beavercraft knives which are great from watching your video on how to sharpen them I'm not so worried about making a mess of them thanks again for your kind help Kind regards Tony

What, no beard ??😊

Thanks bro! Tremendous video!✌🏻😎

I ordered this system a few yrs ago. Tried to like them but due to all the faults you mentioned I took them off and haven’t used them since.

Great video! As you said, I can see how it might be easier when sharpening the flat grind knives, although you are dealing with a thinner blade and less metal. When adding the grit, I wonder how uniform you can get that on the wheel. Maybe it's not a big deal. What are the slots for on the honing wheel? Is that for catching excess polish compound? I've been looking at these and trying to figure out how to mount to my lathe.

Hey Johnny, I use a Tomz Knife massager from Tom Ellis. It turns slow so you don’t have to worry about burning up a knife.

300 degrees distory the temer of blade have a glass of water or better a air hose can cool the blade and be no mess such as water.Yed seeing blue or discolored is a sign of damage.

I ordered a system like this just before Christmas. It’s taking a slow route via France. Will hopefully reach the UK soon. This review was perfect timing for me Johnny. Thank you

Johnny I've saved an old sowing machine because they are slower and speed control and reverse if needed something I haven't built myself but RUclips teaching

Honestly I cringed when you said 180 grit. I use a 1x30 belt sander (when needed) but I start at 600 and go to 2400 then leather strop on sander. I find that method more forgiving.
