@@dougLinker Hello, I am a new subscriber this video I am from Mexico many greetings
@@soy_meraki
welcome new subscriber, you are really gonna enjoy Doug's work, "CAUTION", it's addictive 😁!
thank you i am an 80 year old i must tell you God bless for you care to use your talents to help several people you do not even know keep up the good work.
🙏🏻
It just occurred to me that you are the Bob Ross of carving! You are an inspiration. Thanks for these videos. Such fun and the grandkids love their carvings.
I was just thinking, "Their happy little V cuts!"
totally agree with that statement
Bob Ross, exactly!
Get a real treat watching your videos. There are so many others carvers out there but you are the only who takes the time to share your thoughts as to why you are doing certain cuts. Have been carving along with you for a while its like being home with a freind.
Doug, it's like spending time with a dear friend when I watch you. Thanks for sharing your gift with me.
Enjoy your videos. What I especially like is how you leave it so the viewer can take what you provided and still make it their own. For the "Pocket Penguin", I also made a snowboard and posed him both with the board, and going down the slopes. You truly make it fun! Thanks
Doug, love your videos. I'm recovering from some medical stuff that had me too fatigued to carve for the last several months. This project is perfect for me to retrain and strengthen hands and wrists. Getting back means a lot to me and my wife. She teared up when she saw I am back in the game. Many thanks!
Hi scott McElroy, I am just starting out with wood carving. Back in August I had C-spine surgery, which had me down for 3 months. Only to break my ankel on DECEMBER 1st. needing to have surgery one week later. So now I am back down and cant walk for 6-12 weeks, due to the type of injury I recieved. now I am trying to stay positive, so I picked up my carving knife that I bought several years ago but did nothing with. So far I have learned how to strop my knife and I have carved Dougs new Owl and the pocket penguin. Due to my neck muscels needing more time to recover I can only carve for a short time, with the exception of my faith in Jesus, wood carving is the only thing keeping me going right now. I really needed to see your post this morning. I am wiping back my tears as I write this. Thank you Scott. My new montra, " Life sucke? Trust Jesus, start wood carving". I hope you Get better soon, I will be prqying for you. Brian
Thanks Doug your calm and stress free attitude has been why I have now taken up carving I am pretty useless at the moment but getting there it really is therapeutic and calming I love it thanks again you’re priceless
It's great to see how you really have fun and enjoy carving all your little fella's, you almost give them voices. "Like I said" before, thank you so much for all your teachings. 🐧🐧🐧
Thank you for being you , your easy on the ears. I started carving when my brother ended up in a coma, ultimately he passed away, but it helped to ease the pain of my loss, and he would be proud to see the accomplishment I've made thanks to your tutorials .
Another of your "must try that" videos Doug. Nice to see you so relaxed and enjoying the process. Just brilliant. Thanks.
Love it. You make it look so easy. Watching your RUclips videos is like therapy for me. Absolute delight.
I took your pocket penguin and put a little spin of my own on him and added a hat. Maybe I was thinking of Chilly Willy. The antique look is great. I have one now with a hat and one plain. Thanks again!
You’re voice is as soothing as your carving thank you
I stumbled across your videos by accident and I got stuck on it! I love wood as a material and I would have long liked to set up a small workshop. Unfortunately, I have no space for it. You have me so excited with your videos and your characters that I ordered today the first knife and wood. Both should be here in a day and I can't wait to get started! Thanks for making videos like this! It's super fun to listen and watch! Keep up the good work. Many greetings from Germany.
I enjoy your videos. I’m a beginner woodworker. And now I think I’m going to become a beginner carver. Thank you.
You were talking about people asking about wood and knives. Some bass wood us softer and some knives are sharper. In one of your older videos you said you were a carpenter, which is a hands on hard work occupation. Your hands are young and strong enough to make carving stone look easy. The way you teach makes things easy to follow and you choose easy things to carve. Keep up the good work.
Love this little guy, thanks for the tutorial Doug
I’ll be coming back to watch this, not watching it now, just wanted to let ya know on an easier to see video, you’re a great teacher, especially as a learner. Though I’ve been learning and doing other little projects and stuff I oddly like watching your videos on anything, while I whittle something absolutely un connected. Explaining the cut you’re making has slowly made me memorize certain habits that I prefer. The way you display and show your work/working is amazing when it comes to getting “click” moment. Love your videos, and dad humor.
I second this Doug. I've tried penguins before and never could make it look good. You just showed me every where I was messing up. My ole lady is gonna love the penguins 😂😂😂
This one looks just as much fun as the snowman! Can’t wait until my kit comes in.
"so you'll quit asking me if this wood will work, or if this wood will work..." Too funny. I love it!
Say "like I said " as much as you want ! Great project and advice on the fun and meditative part of our hobby
Hi Doug, I just finished carving my 6th pocket penguin. I didn't think he was going to make it, so I had to revive him with a little 320 sand paper. I know, its tragic but He is doing much better now. I will be naming him "Smooth Mike" : ) I will be painting him later today. I also started roughing out the simple, fast and easy Owl this morning. Thank you so much for putting on all these Tutorials, woodcarving and your videos have changed my life for the better. Thank you.
(Doug's lesson of the day) " If you mess up, make a smaller Penguin" . it works, it really does work.
There is a small art gallery in my town and most of the art in it is folk art, always reminds me of you Doug when I visit! The penguin is adorable!!
Carving IS meditative, for sure ❗️
A sharp blade on carving tool is most important. I made a bear, following your instructions, out of very dry piece of Juniper wood. The V cuts and detail work was difficult. Learned a lot on my first attempt. Going to try this penguin next. Thanks for your videos.
Fun, and much appreciated, as always. Have been following your carving and tutorials from the beginning (Sycamore Sam). I do always learn something and I do thank you for the kind way you share your talents. I also respect the fact that you want to stay in your "happy place." So, please accept this as a request if it generates any interest for you. I would love to see some tutorials that are a bit more advanced. In other words, some basswood caricatures that reflect the level of carving you have mastered. Some of us who have followed you for years would like to continue the journey by attempting some next steps. Whatever you decide, thanks for the excellent tutorials.
exellent tutorial thanks for sharing nice simple and relaxing carving
Thanks for all the great carving tutorials. I have learned so much watching you carve.
Thanks for you easy going approach to showing us the joys of wood carving and how accessible it can be to anyone. You introduced the “V” tool in this carving, which next to the knife is one of the most useful tools when working on small carvings. It would be greatly appreciated if you could talk about the “V” tool in more detail in an upcoming video. I would be very interested to hearing your perspective as to what sizes and angle degrees you reach for most often when doing your small carvings. Your videos are greatly appreciated and you have taught me much with it comes to the joys of wood carving. It is a very relaxing hobby that does not take much space or investment in tools to enjoy! Your efforts in promoting the joy of carving is greatly appreciated!
Thanks -if you go back i have videos on tool selection
I always thought watching Gene Messer carve was relaxing but after finding your videos, that has changed. I like your style and presentation. I am 80 years young and just finally getting back to carving. I think I've forgotten everything I once knew, which wasn't all that much, but after watching your vids, I'm ready to take up the knife once again. Thank you so very much for all your time and efforts. They are not wasted.
Thank you so much Doug for all of your you tube video's. This one is another keeper. You got me hooked on this whittling thing and I am addicted to it. Only doing it for the last 8 or 9 months. used to draw a lot. I was a Photographer for almost 60 years. Always loved working with wood. I watch you mostly , Gene Messer , Sharon my art, and a few others. Along with your camping vids. I carve and my wife of 50 years , Paints em for me. Quite the team. Thanks again.
It's a Penguin Pawn, part of the Great White North Chess Set. Really nice carving Doug.
Doug I am a big fan and have received many comments on my carvings all because of you. I like this little guy but I adore the one with the coat. Hope you will do a tutorial on him even if it's a fast one.
I know it's probably been said before but Doug is the Bob Ross of carving!
Doug you are incredible, thank you so much for sharing your gift with us all. 👊🏼
This is definitely on my list to carve, love it. Thanks Doug.
Appreciate your video & instruction. New carver here.
Very cute. Great gifts for the grandkids.
loving ur pengin. love making ur little stuff. ur great at teaching thank u
I have looked with envy at how easy Doug carves his basswood and he doesn't like to talk about the moisture content.
I struggled with mine (which had a moisture content of 10%), so I decided to try an experiment. I put a block on the radiator for 2 weeks and moisture content dropped to zero. It cuts without much effort!
So, getting it as dry as possible will help!
That is opposite to everything i have ever said - better to store beside a wet rag to keep some moisture in
@@dougLinker Interesting. I'll try that too.
Thanks for another great video! Like I said it was a great video and a pretty straightforward carve doing one on each end of the block made it twice as much fun.😀
Thanks for the fun tutorial. You’re so right. A fun, easy and satisfying little guy. I’ll try a few and may even make one purple😉
Am I the only guy who harvests his own basswood? Way cool video and thanks Mr.Linker.
I'm always thankful to you.
I love all your tutorials too, you are both great 😊
Awesome carving. I love it💓, Very cute
On my third one. So much fun and satisfaction and quick to pick up.
I can’t wait to try this!!!! Thank you Doug
Really characterful penguin, thanks for the tutorial Doug.
Great tutorial Doug! I like "pocket penguin". Well done geezer!! ✌️🇬🇧
Always enjoy watching your videos. Doug, you’re the Bob Ross of woodcarving.
This is such a cute little penguin 😊
I love cute little penguins🐧. Great tutorial 👌 👍. Live your channel. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃
New to carving Doug(actually only done 2 carvings 1 off your video and other from sitting bored), your the first video I saw completely by accident but your videos are very entertaining and informative actually inspired me to start, i even watched the kayak trip with your buddy.😁👍
Thank you , Mr Doug
🐺
Cool little character, as always.
Thanks Doug love this guy , can’t wait to get going on mine.
Glad to see your using a paint stick .now make a stand ,I used a 4x6 cut 45s on the long side about 7 in long
drilled some 1/2 holes to let my pieces dry . Also I add a few small stones in the paint bottles,to act as agitators .
👍😇
That is so cute, you could make that into a key chain.
Your creativity has no limits. What a simple, fun and cute carving. I'm going to make four of these for my grand kids. Thank you very much for sharing with us your talent both as an outstanding carver and an excellent teacher.
Super, 1 inch x 1 inch carving. A lot of demonstrations seem to use 1 1/2 inch x 1 1/2inch Bass wood. Here in the Uk we can mostly only get 1x1 + 2x2 packs of Bass wood. In the past I have tried to get some Bass from the USA via Amazon. Postage to the UK tends to be more costly than the wood itself. Keep up the good work Doug. I'm 74 and took up whittling last year. Love the site.
Ron in the uk look for lime wood thats equivalent to basswood in North America. I don't know where you are but there is a wood yard in Tamworth that has lime put aside for carvers 👍😊
@@jackierudd2010 Do you know the name? 20+ wood suppliers in Tamwoth.
Thanks Doug, good one. Looking forward to trying this. My Owls & Pelicans need some company....
Carve On!
Fun carve Doug.
Grea little project Doug, thanks once again.
Thank You Doug, this was a fun little project. Very satisfying. Made a few to give to friends.
Omg I carved one just like this for my step daughter like two years ago. So easy and satisfying
So cute! Would love to see you carve a squirrel!
Doug another awesome little carving. I love it when you throw in these simple quick carvings. Doesn’t matter how long you have been carving these quick carvings are fun. My sisters have been asking for a carving recently and I am doing these. Thanks so much!!!👍👍👍
My daughter loves those. Now i need to do them 😊
Thank you!! 😃🥰. I love it!
Love it, just Love it 😍, great vid buddy.
Thanks 🙏🏻👍👍💙
Hi Doug. Thanks to you and your wood carving videos, I have tried my first ever Whittling! I did the Pocket Penguin! I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan on trying other carvings in your videos. 😊
That’s so cute Doug! Love love your setup there.
Lovely little whittle. Actually, I had a go at your version of Tom Hindes' 5-Minute Wizard and halfway through decided to make it what I might now call a Pocket Wizard, complete with little feet (and I do carry in my pocket); I'll add this little guy to give him some company!
Really enjoy your tutorials, especially when I can see the finished carving in the background of the video, it's very helpful! Thanks!
Mr.Linker, Im a long time fan but always sucked at figurines. I stuck with spoons for years. But today, ive followed this video to a t. And i am happy to say i have successfully made an owl. Lol i dont know how, but my penguin turned into an owl 😂.
As Bob Ross said " theres no mistakes only happy little accidents." Im currently painting it. And i am glad i tried figurine carving again.
Thank you for sharing these. If by old age, i get half as good as you ill be more than satisfied.
Cheers 🍾🥂
Really fun little carve. I'll add some of these to x-mas. Could make x-mas tree decorations for variety. Thanks Doug!
HELLO all i am frensh so sorry if i don't speak very well, just i want to say you very very thanks for all work! I love your tutoriel, i have see 90% of your vidéo and i love it! Your are very good! And your vidéo is perfect ! Continue this for à very long time! Thank for all! By
Thanks again Doug! Cute character and a great video!
Oh so relaxing...enjoyable...simple when you do it...great vid...Big Thank You
Pretty perfect pocket penguin.
Can you please show how you carve a 6inch gnome or something similar with more tools?
You're the best woodcarver on RUclips 👍
I have a 6 inch gnome video and his wife as well
@@dougLinker I know. I mean that you show how to work with more carving tools
What an inspiration. Great Idea for a carving. I will have to make some for the family. Thanks Doug !
I won’t get to see my twin grandson’s for Christmas this year. They are 3 and honestly we haven’t seen them any Christmas yet. Anyhow, they have a fascination with Penguins so I’m going to make a couple of these, painted just ever so different, as they are and send them for a Christmas present from Gramma. Thanks my friend.✌🏻🤍
This was a good one, thanks! I enjoy painting as well and always happy to see you go through your painting process. Thank you for your work.
All that reaching g Doug , and you didn't knock your coffee over !!!! Impressive!!!!!
That’s the skill part lol
Love your vids! I’m a new carver and am really learning so much from you! Thank you!
Hey Doug I know that everyone will love this, thanks! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏✅✅✅💯💯💯
Great to see you back doing some tutorials!
My little guy was asking me to carve him a penguin. This came at the perfect time. Thanks so much!! It came out great!
My little girl just asked for a cat. She's getting a penguin.
I figure the best wood for carving is the wood I have to carve. Some are easier, for sure, but the advice to just give it a try and see what happens is great!
Good work buddy! Nice job on the penguin!!
Gonna be my first carving and I'm planning on giving it to my wife for her birthday. Gonna do it purple since it's her favorite color and it just seems right since you said it 😄. Thank you for sharing
So cute, thanks Doug. I use neatsfoot oil, the same stuff I use on my saddle, bridles and boots. Gives a nice finish
Nice one Doug !!
Great video as always Doug
This is a great little project! Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing, he will look nice next to my bear. Awesome
Love these videos, keep it up Doug! Personally I love carving these animals more than people
Great to see you back carving Doug. Love watching the live ones and the coffee and carving with Aled! :D
Love this Penguin - a great design!
Such a cute little pocket penguin. Easy moves and fun. Enjoyed it. 💞
Really enjoying your videos in Fort Wayne, IN. Carved this last night and painted like yours, turned out great! Used poplar and a 3 1/4" Morakniv Sloyd #106. Shorter knives should arrive tomorrow but just could not wait to start my carving adventures.
