I’m going on vacation soon and was excited to have the time to whittle, but worried about having a place to do it. I will now be sitting by the pool with my whittle box. Thank you! 😊
@@whittler0507 We do go back a long way! I'm amazed at the number of videos you have made since we first talked about those first ones! Keep on being an inspiration my friend! You're the best in my book!
Thanks my friend .. so excited to hear your working with WCI ....Their going to be lucky to have you Doug .. Thank you for all your doing for carvers everywhere ..Goid Bless
Love your videos. They are all full of useful tips. Always learn something new and you are so clear in your instructions. Definitely couldn't take your mobile carving box out in the Dr's waiting room..... they would have a fit of the vapours then get you arrested. LOL .... but a great idea for the car. 🏴 😁
I use a reusable shopping bag the same way and you can even arrange it so no one can see what you're doing if that's an issue. Whittling is much more interesting than staring at a phone the whole time.
Hello Gene, thank you for another video! for the ladys I have a big tote bag. I have my knives in a pencil box. plus a small V and gouge. keep them in my big bag with my glove and thumb guard. I also keep a plastic bag in side the tote bag for all my chips. and if a few do inside the tote easy to clean. I call it my " On the Go, waiting room bag."
Gene, check out a carving apron with pouch. It’s specifically designed to catch the carving shavings and you can carry it in your harbor freight box. I wear mine when I’m carving
I know what you mean..this is so crazy! On the other hand I guess you can go and have a picnic somewhere with a much bigger kitchen knife. People don't understand that it's all about bad intentions, not the "knife" that can hurt someone. You may have a different object that can hurt someone much worse than a little knife..
I do, if you have good reason it's OK. Yes I've been questioned by a passing community support officer - twice on separate occasions (pretendy police person) and given the all clear
I was just thinking the same thing as I watched this. Can you imagine going to the doctors and pulling out a knife while you waited (if you could get a doctor appointment that is) 😂😂😂. I can find very little on RUclips for carving/whittling in the UK do you know of any UK channels? I am just starting out in this hobby, in fact my first order of a couple of knives and some wood are arriving today, really looking forward to it.
I do, whittling is good reason. I sit in the nature reserve with my carving jack and a bit of wood. Never had an issue and I've been seen by both rangers and the police patrols.

Great idea Sir. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you John .. Thank you so much
Your encouragement to whittle in or outside is very much appreciated, thanks Gene.
Thank you Mrs. Gina ..Please carve safely
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Would love another video on how to carve those knife blade covers you have on your knives in the box.
Mrs. Lisa ..those are corks ..I got some from amazon and drilled a slight hole in them and they work beautifully
Great idea, Gene. It beats playing on your phone!
You got that right my friend
Nice video my friend! A simple way to encourage newer folks to expand their enjoyment of this wonderful hobby.
Thank you Garrett ...The way to have fun even on the road ...Thank you my friend for watching
Great tip Gene. And indeed - there nothing better than to sit & whittle & enjoy the moment. Thanks.
Thank you Bruce ..yes there is nothing like it ..so relaxing

I take my box to the Dr's all the time ..I guess everybodys different ...Thank you for the kind comments and God Bless
Good to see you again, brother! Great ideas!
Thank you David ...Thank you for tuning in
I like simple ideas like this. Thank you Gene.
Thank you for watching
Thanks Gene for the endless source of inspiration and advises 👏
Thank you so much my friend

your right Robert ..good idea about the bag ...whatever works to help you enjoy carving ..Thank you
Thank You for sharing, that’s a great idea
Thank you Mark ..Carve safely

Sounds like a great idea Mary ..so many wonderful ideas I have heard from carvers
Great idea. Iv sat on my tailgate and caved into planters in parking lots. Add to the mulch
Thank you Tom ..it just makes it easier and relaxing ..God Bless
Greetings sir, great channel!
Thank you sir and thank you for watching
great video, thanks , new subscriber
Thank you for subscribing ,,your kindness is appreciated
You'd think people would be more concerned about the knives, lol.
You got a point there >> i remember one time going to California ...I whittled on a plane ..But times are changing ..Thank you for watching
Gene, I use an old pillow case split down the side seam and drape it in my lap between my legs to catch the chips
Sounds like a good idea ..excellent ideas for whittling outside the home
great ideas
Thank you for watching
Gene, check out a carving apron with pouch. It’s specifically designed to catch the carving shavings and you can carry it in your harbor freight box. I wear mine when I’m carving
I will ..Thank you
I've got one and put in extra little pouches to hold my knives so they dont get buried in the shavings..I love it
@@clivegreen5492 Sounds like a great idea Clive ..Thanks for the info ..God Bless
Gene do you use corks to cover your knife blades?
Yes I do ..very easy to slip on and off and a great knife protector
@Gene Messer where can I get them.
What if you left the tray in and let your shavings go in there? That way you don't have to take your tools out to dump the shavings.
The tray in this box was very small and wouldnt hold many ..but not a bad idea ..Thank you
Thank you
Thank you my friend
Shame we couldn't get away with doing that here In the UK..the Police would soon whisk us away for having fixed bladed knives in public 😔
I know what you mean..this is so crazy! On the other hand I guess you can go and have a picnic somewhere with a much bigger kitchen knife. People don't understand that it's all about bad intentions, not the "knife" that can hurt someone. You may have a different object that can hurt someone much worse than a little knife..
Truly sad what the world has become.

I’m not trying to judge but your voice sounds like Johnny Knoxville
🤣🤣🤣🤣Now I havent heard that one before .....Thank you for watching David
