Had to go the hospital twice after splitting my hand open while whittling, wish I had found this video first. You've re-inspired me to get back into whittling, so thank you.
Oh goodness!
Having safety gloves is important for myself as I sometimes loose track of where my hands are the more I focus in on my projects. While they arent 100% protection, they have made what could have been serious injuries to minor cuts just needing a bandaid

We all deserve to go to hell because we have sinned. But God loved us and gave us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the punishment of all of our sins for us when he died on the cross. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and yet God the Son also. God the Father (God)has raised Jesus his son from the dead. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!!!! Repent of your sins, and believe in who Jesus is and what He did for you and that God the Father has raised Him from the dead and you WILL BE SAVED FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE(hell).
Sinner’s prayer
Lord, I know I’m a sinner, I believe that you died on the cross in my place of burning in hell forever so I wouldn’t have to go to hell. I accept your sacrifice for me. Please save me from the lake of fire and forgive my sins. Thank you for the gift of eternal life!
Amen.
Now turn from your wicked ways towards Jesus Christ and surrender your life to Him!
If you have any questions please ask me!
God bless you!😊♥️♥️♥️

I completed my first project! I carved the bark off a twig and made an albino snake!
Finally, i found someone who goes in detail of the what and how on whittling. Thank you so much. I will follow your advices and tutorials in order to learn how to do whittling properly.
I'm glad you found the videos helpful!
If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask :)
I have a good set of knifes and the mantinace kit for them and no knowledge of how to get started (I bought it all wanting to make my son something for his 1st birthday he's now 1 and a half) maybe his second birthday I'll have been able to make him his own little ducky (loves ducks) thanks for this getting started has always been the hardest part for me

the only time i ever whittled was about 3 weeks ago, I made a little spatula for raticide paste for some traps, using a box cutter and a tiny scrap of fir from the neighbor's attic. Those 5 minutes of whittling calmed me more than any meds or meditation technique my therapist suggested. now I'm all about watching youtube and buying a knife and whittling the crap of any wood I find while imagining said wood to be my boss
I like that you gave the pros and cons for each of the options and also gave sources for where to find equipment as well as sources for information. This is the most complete beginners guide I've ever watched and I appreciate the heck out of you for doing this. Thank you so much.
I whittled a wooden coat hanger that i could place into metal holes at work and keep my jacket clean. I used pieces that chipped off pallets in the warehouse and i went through quite a few of them. Seeing this now. I’m seeing a lot of the techniques you used are very similar to what i would do and it almost came naturally with doing it so much. Just thought that was interesting.
You can usually figure some stuff out on your own by actively practicing it yourself with repeated practice, which is how many of us learned the craft to begin with :)
wow, the knife sharpness demonstration was REALLY great, it was good to see how much of a difference sharpening made
Thanks!! What is considered "sharp" in one person's mind will be different from another.
I tried to get into whittling a while back and didn’t get very far, sharpening was extremely intimidating. Watching these videos has gotten me excited to break it back out and get into it again, thanks so much for these there was a serious lack of content this good for this hobby.
HI Brandon I used to sharpen freehand exclusively and still do some. But I bought a lansky set that has 4 different stones and is simple as pie and will get you a razor sharp edge easy they are abou.t the same price as a good whetstone
I highly recommend the Burrfection videos here on RUclips to supplement what was taught here about sharpening. The Burrfection guy is also a good calm teacher who knows how to explain himself well.
I’m so happy I found this video. Been wanting to whittle for years, but didn’t know where to even start. Thanks man
You're welcome!
My great grandfather taught me to whittle. He always had had his pocket knife and would whittle sticks on a bench swing, while we played in the yard. He would say, “Whistle while you whittle.” 😊
im 14 and from young age i was interested in woodworking and making things from wood. this video motivated me to start so i will ask my parents ect. ect. and i will hopefully start.
I love when someone can make an intro video and can just clearly say dont cheap out in these areas, these are less critical, and make getting started feel doable. This IS that video! Thank you!
i just want to be a grizzled old cowboy carving wood by a fire while i tell my apprentice my dark past
Man i just want to say thanks to you (and the YT algorithm). I had my great grandfather‘s carving tools ( ~50 Stubai and Cherry tools) laying around since I was born and allways wanted to learn whittling. My first few pieces are allready done and many more are on the way, just because of your high quality contet!
Thanks a lot and cheers from Austria!
You're welcome! Im glad that these videos are helping you get started!
Incredible tutorial! Most in depth yet not overly complicated, and comprehensive guide I've seen!
This is so thorough and helpful, thank you!
Can't wait to start doing this it seems so fun and relaxing
Lots of excellent up front necessary info- thank you
Thank you so much. That's exactly the information I need to know for now
Just ordered my supplies I’m so excited!!
My first whittling supplies arrive tomorrow, I can't wait to get started!
Ruh roh! I'm hooked already, can't wait to finally get into whittling!
New to whittling thank you!!
Thanks for comprehensive explanation 🌷🙏
Fantastic guide.I finally understand how to use a strop . I especially like the sharpening section since having a sharp knife is essential.
Thanks for a very thorough class on all the basics in about 33 minutes
Super informative! Love it
This is a great introduction to whittling. I want to learn and I am happy that I watched your video
Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to get into whittling but there aren't enough videos talking about what you need to get and do in order to get started. This was so helpful and you've earned a new subscriber :D
I’ve always wanted to try my hand at whittling but never knew there were this many things to know about it! Honestly made me more interested in trying it out
You inspire me to pick up whittling again...
whittling always seemed real cool. I'm inspired to start
you've inspired me to try whittling again :) I tried once but I had zero experience and I couldn't find things that I wanted to make. but ur tutorials are so helpful and not too complicated and I love all ur little animals and things, so I'd love to try making them too. ty for putting all I need to know in one video, makes it easy to go back at refresh everything haha
Excellent tutorial thanks
thank you for this helpful video.
Growing up I was always curious about whittling but I had no idea where to start or how it works. Your videos are amazing. Tyyy
Whittling and carving looks so incredibly fun, I will make sure that I am going to try this and enjoy it! ^^
Nice video! Stumbled upon it and may try whittling myself now. Great breakdown. Thank you.
Great video! helped get me started
Thank you, sir.
Cheaper blades are good for beginners because they teach you how to Sharpen your tools. Sharpening is one of the most important things you can learn if you want to enjoy working with wood whether it be whittling or anything else. This is my advice for anybody who wants to start with woodwork.
This is a fantastically helpful and well presented video. THANK YOU!
Just ordered my first kit from Amazon, going to build wood toys for my son.
Your video is teaching me a lot going to keep watching thank you.
Thanks for the video, I've not started whittling yet, but this was a very helpful primer. It's also given me the confidence to have a go at sharpening my swiss army knives too.
Got my kids each a kit for Christmas and really appreciate your video for them to watch
Quality training video. Kudos sir.
all the other beginners guides realy arent actualy easy until i saw this channel thank you so much keep up the good work
So cool! Thank you for the description of each step. The figures in the background are very beautiful. :)
What a fantastic tutorial!!! Thank you!!!
You're welcome! Glad you found the video helpful 😀
Nice introduction. Thank you very much!
Thanks, this should make me a whittle bit better!
Great and clear introduction! Thank you for this video, I'm going to start whittling with my swiss army knife and we'll see where it goes :)
Very helpful
Thank you
You are so good at telling people the things they don't even know they should ask... You are truly a teacher. You are a scholar. You, specifically you, could teach _anything_ you wanted to. Thank you for teaching us about this hobby.
I went into this blind after needing something to do with my hands while out camping. I made a whetstone out of a river stone I’d ground flat and it served me well enough to whittle a bird out of young wood. This is a big step up from what I was doing, and I’m excited to learn more. Thanks for the valuable info! 😁
Just ordered my first pieces, I love this channel and been following it for a while. Since I realized I spend most of my free time at home, this seems like a very relaxing thing to do when I don't feel like playing guitar.
As a newbie I found this so informative & comprehensive. Looking forward to my knives coming next week.
Thankyou !
Just bought a beaver craft kit. feeling more confident after watching this video. :)
Just as I was thinking about 3d art and getting into whittling, I found this video... Is this a message from the master woodcarvers?
Thank you so much Brian. I listen to your videos while I do my boring chores. You made my day! Thank you
Fantastic video man.
thank you for this video! it was easy to understand for a complete beginner and non-native English speaker like myself.
Very cool! Thank you! Now I know a bit more about how to use the carving kit I just got.
I draw and I was looking forward to try wood sculpings, this video is really interesting and relaxing, it's good to see other types of art and maybe try it
Amazing sir!!! thanks a ton..god bless you...
Thank you very much for the fabulous tutorial and information. Super easy to understand and clear for someone even with audio processing issues, and the visuals are clear and concise.
I decided to try and make my stepdad some morel mushrooms!
Great video, god bless you
Wow, I tried getting into this 2 years ago but I remember there being no good video guides on how to start. This channel is awesome I'm definitely gonna get a set
thank you
Exactly what I was needing. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I am fast approaching retirement age and have wanted to get into carving for a long time but didn’t really know where to start. Your how-to videos are invaluable. I bought a set of Flex Cuts based on your reviews. I look forward to getting started. Keep up the great work.
I love your channel, thank you!
As a Cub Scout leader, I feel much more prepared to teach my Bear Scouts knife safety and help them earn their whittling chip! I’ll be including this video in the materials and guide for parents too! Thanks
Teaching young scouts can be a bit of a challenge, especially when it comes to wood hardness. I would advise you to use balsa as it provides faster results which keeps them engaged for longer.
@@CarvingisFun thanks for the suggestion. I also like the idea of the grippy gloves to prevent us needing to practice out first aid skills too.
Thank you for this! You've provided a great resource here. I make tables with my grandparents' woodworking/resin business, and I've been curious for a while about finer work. Have explored the channel a bit, think I'm hooked :)
You've taught me so much after 2 videos! I already know 3 cuts, (stop cut, wedge cut, sweep cut) you are so educational and fun!
Thank you for this video. I've wanted to whittle since I was a kid but never knew where to start. I spent the evening looking at knives on Amazon and after ordering a set (glad I decided to go with the Beaver Craft ones and not something cheaper) I decided I better get an Idea of how to start and this was perfect, I'm much more confident about getting started than I was.
Great Video, very informative, many thanks!
Great video. I've been wanting to get into whittling and bought some books, but you videos help out more where the books lack explanation. I was going to start buying the tools but was hesitant on which brands, but your video helped out a lot and I have ordered the knife, basswood and strop. Thank you.
Great video thanks!
Thank you for sharing this Very interesting and tutorial video
Great video, well explained. Awesome close up, really can see the details
Screw you so much. Arrived at this video wanting just some mindless entertainment, and now I have a full cart on Amazon and will be trying to make the little fox. You've converted someone who had not even thought about doing this in the first place 😂
Joke aside, lovely video. Thanks a lot for it 💜
Ha!! It happens :)
Really nice video, Thanks!
Great video Brian. Really appreciate the tips provided here.
Thank you!
Im glad you found the video helpful 😀
i love the way he says "dont worry about it" at every point because i did infact worry at every point
Used to whittle as a kid, sort of lost touch with it. I think I might have to go get a new knife, feeling inspired.
Thanks for the quality video sir. Your attention to detail is appreciated. Also I can tell you like to pay attention to your viewers/subscribers. I'll be back for more videos. Thanks for the content!
I was fortunate enough to inherit several of my grandfather’s woodcarving knives, many of them made by himself, a few by various knife makers in South Texas. I need to get them back into use. His name was Les Visor, and he was a proud member of the Texas Woodcarver’s Guild. I love that his work is on display in at least a few places, I have a few of his works myself. Pieces of Pop.
It's good that you show your 'war carving' wounds. I have been carving for better than 25 years on and off, and always find new ways to get cut while carving in places I thought never existed...lol! It's not that carving is a risky thing, it's that 'human nature' of bravado takes over. Silly things when you drop your guard. I think because I take my time now and more so 'a little wiser', I don't get 'war carving' wounds as much.
Great video! Thank you!👍
I will prolly never whittle a thing in my life, but I dig the chill vibe you got.
Thanks! The whole hobby itself is relaxing to me and I guess it shows in how I present it :)
what an incredible video, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience (:
thankyou very much
i really appreciate this small crash course, it's really helpful :) i find carving and woodworking really interesting and wanted to get into it to make something small for my boyfriend's birthday
I really like this video, and found it very informative. I came to this channel because I recently acquired a hand carved from ebony wood. It really made me curious, so I had to do some of my own research.
Tried whittling hardwood with an axe. Turns out they're incredibly sharp. And fingernails are softer than jarrah. 😅
Thinking of buying a gerber downwind caper fixed blade knife, 7c steel should be 60-63 rockwell hardness and it has a nice choke on the blade. not sure about the edge angle though, will need some more research
Nice!!
Awesome video, thank you for a great lesson.
You're welcome!!
thank you for this tutorial!!
You're so welcome!
