I apologize and agree with you. My earlier videos had too much music and the levels were unfortunately set high. (I guess you have to start somewhere) I have since made that correction with my newer videos so that what little music I have inserted, the levels are very soft. Thank you for your feedback. Brett

I’ve made many of these horses using Poplar. It also carves beautifully and can be painted or stained. I’m currently working on one made entirely from Cherry and plan to stain it a deep mahogany. I also have seen oak used but if this is your first time, I would recommend poplar. Good luck and share your progress. Brett

Thank you for checking in, everything is good. Just taking a little time off to catch up on my “honey do list” that I’ve been neglecting. Lol.

Thanks for the feedback. That really helps me understand what works and what doesn’t. I totally agree with the music and have since cut it way back and in some videos cut it out all together. I may revisit this episode in the future and will add more instruction. 👍 Brett

Thank the good Lord, there is an incredible video for people like you and me named; How to watch, decipher and learn from how to videos with annoying yet relaxing music and very little verbal instruction.

There was but I was asked to remove it. However, I am currently working on a new head carving video of my own design that I will be making available soon. Brett

For a medium and large head, I use 3” thick wood the glue on 3/4” eye and ear pieces. I’m sure you have heard the expression “ it’s easier to take away than add on”. I like to have enough material to carve in and play with details than to not have enough. Hope this helps. Brett

@@Greenfieldwoodworks wonderful! I am very grateful for the information.

Thank you! I agree. Thanks for watching. Brett

Not offended at all. That horse is not my design just simply repairing it for a family. Hopefully soon, I want to carve a full size carousel horse of my own and will share it on my channel. 😊 Brett

Thank you!

I use a lot of Basswood for the horses and if I’m running a bit low, I’ll use poplar. I’m currently carving a horse out of Cherry and it carves beautifully.

Great idea! Right now it hasn’t moved but if it does I’ll definitely do that. Thank you !

Thank you!

Hi Wayne, I am going to record a head carving series using my own design. So that will be coming soon. Currently I’m down 55lbs. Feeling great! Brett

Thank you Will! I’m currently down 55lbs. Feeling Great!

Wow! Thank you. I may just take you up on that. I’m more determined than ever to get this weight off.

There is a link in the description to purchase plans from The Rocking Horse Shop. Great people with fast shipping. Brett

Yes it is but If you email me I might be able to help with that. greenfieldwood@gmail.com Brett

@@Greenfieldwoodworks no need. :) But thank you.

Fantastic! Glad it was helpful! Brett

Good idea! So far it seems to be holding but if it happens again, I’ll definitely drill it. Brett

Thank you Ron. Are you asking about the main paint gun or my airbrush? I know the paint gun is 1.4. I’m not sure about the airbrush but I can check.

Hello fellow Rocking horse maker, could you email me at greenfieldwood@gmail.com? I can possibly help you with ideas for crafting your own saddle. I normally just purchase mine from The Rocking Horse Shop but once in a while I need to make my own. I’m currently in Kentucky visiting family and will be back on Monday. Thank you for watching! Brett

Do you want a fixed saddle or removable one. I make my own removable but add two steel dowels that locate in the horses back and attatched to the saddle tree.

@@ronaldcumpsty5605 Hello, dear friend! It can be fixed or removable. Any help is welcome! Thanks!

@@Greenfieldwoodworks Thank you friend! Your videos have helped horse breeders all over the world, including me.

@@cavalosdebalanco do you have an email address and I will explain my method for you to consider. Might help, might not.

Awww thank you so much! It was truly an honor to create “JC” for Pam and her family. It was a fun project and it’s wonderful to consider Pam a friend. Cheers, Brett

Thank you my friend!

Thank you! Cheers! I just received word that he made it to his new home in Nevada today. Thank you for watching. Brett

It was an absolute honor to create this for you. I hope he brings you many years of happiness and enjoyment. Brett

I get to say good morning and goodnight to him every day. He's here in him ❤ now

That’s what I was afraid of it looking like. Taking a little bit more off really helped. I just received a text that he made it to Nevada safe and sound and she loves it. Brett

Yes! I absolutely agree. I’m also thinking about a wide belt oscillating sander as well. Thanks for watching. Brett

Thank you! 😊

Sooo relieved that my trick worked! The time capsule is a fun extra for people to personalize their horse. Thanks for watching. Brett

Thank you! This area is sort of difficult for me because sometimes they look fine and from other angles they look a bit tall. The consensus is to drop them by 1/2” and I actually think you won’t notice the difference a whole bit. Stay tuned. Brett

Thank you and thanks for watching! Brett

I agree but I talked it over with the client and the consensus is to drop the ears down by 1/2”. Then I think when the mane and bridle are in place, it will look right. Than you for the comment! It helps to get a feel as to what other people like. Brett

Thank you for the input. The consensus is to take about a half inch off the ears. I do think they stand a bit too tall and I totally understand and agree with you about the base of the ears. I’ll address that as the carving continues. Plus I think that when the mane and bridle are in place it will all come together. This is definitely a fun project. Brett

Thank you very much!

Thank you! I really do my best to make the class fun and enjoyable. Andrea did a fantastic job and took to carving right away. In fact, she has continued on and has made quite a few on her own. Thank you for watching. Brett

This has definitely been a fun project. It’s only going to get better!

Boy if that’s not the truth. I’m the king of “can’t leave it alone”. Lol. However,talking it over with the client I am going to take just a half inch off. I do believe they stand a bit tall. Email me a link for the smock you use. I’d like to look at it. I may start investing in some button down work shirts as well. Brett

@@Greenfieldwoodworks Hi Brett, sorry for recommending the smock that I have with elastic cuffs and velcro neck band, as I have just searched the internet including the UK and it appears that this one is no longer available. I can't understand it as I love it and lots of other enquiries indicate the same. I am looking forward to your next video so keep them coming.....Ron C

The consensus is lower the ears by about half an inch. I agree with that. It’s hard to see from the photos or video but I do think they are a bit too tall.

@@Greenfieldwoodworks I agree, you don't want them looking like mule ears.

Exactly! That’s what I was afraid of.

Thank you my friend!

Thank you! I’m glad that this video helped you. Thank you for watching. Brett

Thank You! I purchased the plans from The Rocking Horse Shop in England. www.rockinghorse.co.uk/shop/make-your-own/carving-plans Hope this helps and thank you for watching. Brett

Да я уже смотрел в этом магазине, в нашу страну доставка очень дорого выходит к сожалению ((

😂 😆

I’m having a ball building it for you! Thank you. Brett

Your next horse will go faster now that you made one.

A nephew that’s 6’4” and plays Rugby! Holy Crap! I think I’d run the other way if I saw him coming my way. 😂 😆 this is definitely a fun build. Brett
