Hope u caught your breath, love the way you present yourself.
It just cracks me up.
Keep up the good work.
FYI my favorite knife is the OCCT, totally disagree with flexcut,
I do have a helvie but my occt is my best knife.
Stay funny Alac

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks for your input! I love the OCCT too! Can’t go wrong with all 3!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

The main reason I didn’t choose the Helvie or OCCT was availability for beginners!

[@tomevans4402]

Same, I have 4 Occt knives, one helvie, couple beaver craft and , 2 flexcut. I use Occt 90 percent of the time

Guns and knives can only hurt people that they are pointing at.and support your wood .
I can't believe that handle has turning grip I've always thought the hand grip is a V shape
..lots of great tips thanks for helping us 👍

[@ordinaryhuman1309]

I have a question for woods that i can use to carve, im based in England and have access to leylandii, is it any good for carving?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I’m not familiar with it!

[@pantango5503]

Alec, great beginners video. The glove is very important, one slip can ruin your day.
Was wondering, where is a good cotton wood bark supplier? Is there a place in our general area? I'm from Macomb county

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I have given up! lol! That’s why I’m heading out west to find my own!

[@pantango5503]

@@AlecLaCasseArt I have a few friends that some cottonwood on their property. Hunting season is coming and they will be scouting their land soon. I asked them to look for some. Fingers crossed

[@mixedmediaartgirl300]

Thanks for the ovwrview, getting my tools in a couple hours, can't wait!

[@ryansparks2359]

Ive always wanted to get into wood carving. Specifically with making wizard staves, as ive personally need them wiith disability. Any videos something like thst? I started with a knife and sand paper when i was in 6th grade but never learned more about it

[@mikereed4876]

Finally a carving video as scattered as me! Great info, seriously.

[@rumpple4skin976]

Thanks for the info lol have a great nap.

[@sandyharper-moss4668]

Hey Alec, where do I get that butter knife? 😂😂😂Just kidding. Really have enjoyed your videos. Hoping to sign up for your online school this spring. Inspired by your carvings. Thanks

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks a lot Sandy! If you subscribe let me know what other videos you would like to see!

[@SewWhittle]

Hey Alec, I think you forgot to link that specific Flexcut knife. 😊

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

It’s the first link in the affiliate links list! I missed it on first glance too!

[@monikasturm2575]

I have painted for years and found the little spit cups you used for brushing your teeth and mouthwash are much easier to contend with during clean up and better for the environment.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Great idea!!

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

Great video Alec! I would love to see a video of how you carve hair. I use gouges and v-tools, but the hair I carved (including beards) always looks too flat.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Great suggestion! Thanks !

[@MrSteamDragon]

Excellent....channelling a bit of Dougie here Alec 😂 👍🏻

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

It’s inevitable!

[@Youtubehandle579]

Why is this so rushed?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Because coffee
