Doug Linker's videos are great! I admire his style. Keep going and I am happy that more and more kids are homeschooled these days. My brothers 4 daughters are as well and I can see huge difference. love it :D
Wow! Thank you so much for your video. I’m just getting started ( I’m 74 ) and had to give up scroll sawing after lung cancer and chemo. Looking for something to occupy my time. Thanks again.
Thanks for showing, that a wood spirit can be created with a knife. No dremels of fordoms in sight or more to the point ,the noise. Good fun can be obtained with a good old-fashioned knife and a little imagination,plus patience. 🏴👍😁🧙♂️😁🏴
I am retired, disabled, and just started woodcarving three months ago Wishing for a good set of Pfeil carving gouges for my 70th birthday in a couple of months. I watch all your videos and am learning, Thank you and Wood Carvers of the World.
Thanks and all the best to you. I am looking forward to see your creations.. :-) you can join me and other friendly whittlers in our facebook guild here: facebook.com/groups/wood.carving.and.whittling.homewoodspirit
This Is excellent. I guess I didn’t realize that the bottom of any nose is NOT flat. It does have sort of a small dip. Thank you for these videos! 👍🏼🇺🇸. And your English is just fine.
Thank you again. You gave me a pep text a year ago when I kept cutting off the noses 👃🏼 of everything I try to carve. Now this little carve is just what I needed to get me back on track after a very bad winter where I couldn’t carve at all for 7 months. Sense I was just learning to carve, I almost gave up. Thank you again for a easy enough carve that I could do even if it’s not they good it was still fun. 🙏🏼
I love how you say "chip" every time you make those S cuts, great tutorial and very relaxing to watch. You could market your channel as an ASMR channel
Thanks Vladimir! I'm just getting started teaching myself woodworking. The books I have start out with Wood Spirits and Santa Clauses. Your one video provided me with more information and inspiration than both books put together. You're both very skilled and a good teacher.
This is a really easy way to carve, not too many steps and a great end result. I am going to try it on a little branch I have, just create a little corner in the wood to start from
What a splendid video. I really appreciate the care with which you make your videos. You are a very good teacher and your English is just fine. Thank you for such lovely videos!
Thank you for this! I haven't whittled yet but have some projects where I want to include carvings near the end of a stick for decoration. I watched some other videos and was worried about cutting myself being a newbie and didn't think about wearing a glove and the inner tube is a smart idea.
Hi Vladimir... MANY thanks for this - perfect introduction, superb explanation... thank you for taking the time - VERY much appreciated! I cant wait to give it a go....
Did one, nice variation. My collection is +1, as is my experience. Keep on creating, you're doing great. I'll be using your smile on more carvings going forward. Carving is a global community now, and every contribution like this has far reaching effects as dabblers like me integrate what they learn and pass it on. The bicycle tube trick is a good tip from our worldwide carvers. I'll be trying that one, the elastic always fails on the commercial thumb guards, and the tape thing is just enough work that I usually don't bother, consequently, I have a constant slice on my thumb due to my laziness. I've pretty well learned to keep my hands out of the blade travel, but you only have to forget once. Glad to have widened my woodspirit horizons! Thanks!
Nice job, just found this site. The step by step is great, I hope to get going on my carving at this time; I've got all the "tools" and wood, now I just have to practice.
Your English is fine brother. No worries there. I've seen several videos on carving wood spirits and have tried one of them. It was a disaster on my end. Your video is awesome and I'm going to try your way of doing it. Keep up the awesome work. Well done.
So cool! this remind me of my time at school, i used to carve tiki heads out of chalk sticks! dunno why i forgot about that! Thank you for reminding me about something i enjoyed a lot to do! And also great videos and skills!
Excellent!.... Very clear and well spoken. Great piece considering you did not use any other tool (V tool U gouge etc.), besides a knife!... Thank you for the lesson.
Vladimir, could you tell me what detailed knife you are using and/or what would be a good blade length and profile to use? Thank you for all of your tutorials...
I've copied your style for weeks. All I keep getting are carvings of Jackie Charlton (a local football hero from the 1966 world Cup fina)l. I visit his son's pub regularly, so plant my carvings in the beer garden for folk to find 👍🏻
Wow. I think I can make that. Your instructions are great. Thank you you got my subscription. I think I can learn and gain confidence thru your teachings.
New sub! I really enjoyed this and was able to follow along with pauses to catch up to you. I think this will be my new handle on my ferocerium rod. I think I need to invent foot controls for my computer to play, pause and rewind while watching so I don't have to put the project down.
This was really great, I've just found out about this whittling and I've been bought a kit as a gift and this was very easy to follow, so thank you....P.S, your English is great! please don't say sorry for something you do well. hey from the UK x
Good job. I shall try this during the next weekend. Suggestion: You are leaving the tip of your thumb exposed. I cringed a couple of times when you were pushing a cut real hard and your thumb tip was right in the line of fire. Maybe you should use a different thumb glove. Just a small suggestion.
Very nice and instructive video thanks
Your secondary language of English is better than alot of people where English is the only language they speak.
Thanks for the video.
never apologise for your english! most English people don't know a second language. thank you for the video :)
Thanks for support mate! :-) you are wellcome
Most English people don't even know how to use their language properly
Rowdy Yates And what is that supposed to mean?
@@Daniel-eu6gt Rowdy Yates was pretty clear lol
Lol 😆

Great demonstration thanks for showing us, greetings from Wales UK. ive liked and subscribed. ps your English is excellent.

What a splendid video. I really appreciate the care with which you make your videos. You are a very good teacher and your English is just fine. Thank you for such lovely videos!
Great video, well done, thanks
Great carving tutorial. Like your thumb guard. Looks like a piece of inner tube.
It is from bike inner tube :) thanks for your comment Robert
Hello, thank you for your video, I enjoyed and it's very helpful (I am learning)
Nice work and I love the idea of using a bike tube to protect your thumb 😀
it is ok solution. I just need to mention that it leaves black marks on the wood ;-)
Very well done!
Awesome video. Can you do or do you have a video that shows how you cut your wood in half to make the triangles your carving here? Thanks
Your videos are so calming and encouraging. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow.
Thank you for this! I haven't whittled yet but have some projects where I want to include carvings near the end of a stick for decoration. I watched some other videos and was worried about cutting myself being a newbie and didn't think about wearing a glove and the inner tube is a smart idea.
Thanks Max. I would like to see your projects.. maybe in our facebook guild: facebook.com/groups/wood.carving.and.whittling.homewoodspirit/

Hi Vladimir... MANY thanks for this - perfect introduction, superb explanation... thank you for taking the time - VERY much appreciated! I cant wait to give it a go....
excellent! I like the tips you shared .... especially the bike tire trick for your thumb. Will try that.
Cheers Kevin. Yeah this trick is funny :)
@@HomeWoodSpirit ... the bike tire trick..for your thumb. Was that a particular size tire or did you have to slice to fit your thumb and re-glue.
Also a beginner! I like the method you use in the video! From Florida, USA
Cheers Ronald! Greetings to USA from heart of Europe!
great video, love the hair
I've been having trouble with whittling faces. I tried your style and the faces look much improved. Thank you. Please keep up the great work.
