    Doug I have already told you ..that I believe your going to be the carver that interest more people in woodcarving and whittling then I ever did and I love it ..And your going to do it without even trying too ... Your idea right now is what I believe is the roots of what most carvers want ..Thank you my friend for giving so much

    Doug, It is so good to see you happy and enthused about your carving and life in general.. We all go through seasons of stress and it is good to find your passion again. Connecting with nature and enjoying the outdoors is always a good place to start. I look forward to the new playlist and any other videos you produce. Thank you for taking us along on the adventure.

    Doug, I picked up this hobby at age 56 because of a video of yours that showed me it is not hard or expensive to get into. It was your owl carving video. I have been doing it 2 years now and do exactly what you are talking about; making little projects and giving them away. People love them. I am very excited about the upcoming 1 x 1 series. I can't wait to carve along with you!

    This is my kind of whittling, I have been using 1 x 1 for a while. For me I order from Amazon I keep it simple because I don't have any big power saws so it's 1 x 1 for me. Thanks Doug I have learned so much from your tutorials I have been whittling for 6 months.

  • @Bootes1
    @Bootes1 Год назад

    Yes, now I can use up all that 1x1 I bought a couple of years ago. My first carving was one of your bigger "Hillbillies" it'll be nice to make him a few little friends. It's Great to see you so enthused and happy getting back to the little folk. Cheers Doug.

    Count me in Doug!! I have wanted to do just what you are talking about as the simplicity is what whittling is all about. Well as a 11 year old Boy Scout back in the early 1950's whittling for us was pointing a stick as we sat around the fire.

    Wow! Thanks Doug. I'm looking forward to the 1x1 series. Started my first carving watching and leaning from your earlier 1x1 videos. While the bark carvings were interesting it wasn't something I had the drive to time to do. You're attitude and approach to carving brings, as well as your incredible camera work brings me joy.

A lot of them in my truck or sitting on a curb while my grandson is at karate, yes I watched him to but after watch the same kick a thousand times I had to bail😂. I always carry a knife had have added some gouge’s and V tools to my truck bag. I love carving small branches to do I carry a folding saw in my truck also. Great idea and thank you.

    I wish to thank you for the Tutorials. My Beaver Craft kit will be delivered tomorrow with a carving glove and Strop. I also ordered 1.5” square by 6” long to start with. Hoping to do the Gnome hat and the hillbilly. I’m patiently awaiting for my journey to begin, and see where I end up. I’m glad my path has crossed yours and I do enjoy the simplicity of the art you so love. I’m a welding instructor by trade now working through becoming an electrician. This will be a nice way to enjoy my free time because I don’t watch tv. Now my RUclips is full on whistlers and it’s great.
    Thank you once again, Travel well and be Safe.

    MOSTEST EXCELLENT!!!!! I have been doing wood turning and cutting boards for a few years. Wanting to learn carving, I bought a couple sets of chisels and like everything else we learn how to to; started watching RUclips. :) Happened across a video of yours, and started binge watching. Ended up, a couple months ago, buying a starter kit if whittling knives and enjoying it. Frustrating as hell, but still having fun with it following along (at least attempting too). IMHO, you are the 'Bob Ross' of whittling and carving. Thanks much for doing what you do, and how you do it.

  • @kreech68
    @kreech68 Год назад

    Great video! In theory, this is the reason why I started carving - it is a winter hobby in front of a fireplace, but also the thing to do in the evening in front of a fireplace, or sitting on the porch on a weekend, or visiting relatives and need to get away for a while (or carve for nieces and nephews), ....

    Any hints on removing the bloodstains from a carving? Or should I just say it is a feature. LOL

    What a coincidence, today I was looking at all my larger pieces or bass wood and decided to cut them into 1x1xlong. I planned on cutting to whatever length I needed. One thing I was planning on doing was some 1x1x4" Santas. Whittle one then cut that one off and begin the next one. Looking forward to getting started. Really appreciate your videos.

    Personally, I'm glad to see it. This is exactly what I want to be able to do. I don't expect I'll ever have my own shop in Gatlenburg or even have any demand for my stuff on Etsy, but if I could do something like the little hillbillies and someone could get a chuckle out of them, that would be great. Too many people are still chasing happiness when they have what they need if they'd just stop and enjoy it.

    Fantastic...this 1X1 concept is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! I tried the dowel carving but the poplar was so hard to carve and was so hard on my knife. I had to strop every 10 cuts...took forever. 1" basswood dowels were impossible to find. I'm so looking forward to this simpler concept of 1 X 1 or square base concept...SBC (Square Base Carving) FANTASTIC!!!! I'm excited to get carving with you in this series!!! Making carving a happy experience again. Thank you Thank you.
