    Seriously Doug, if I wasn’t interested in wood carving I would still watch your channel. You enthusiasm and your gentle humour are a balm for the weekly chaos. The fact that I am interested in carving makes your channel a double bonus.
    I want my boys to get started but trying to come up with a plan to introduce them to knife safety.

    thank you for magical tutorial, sielulintu (soul birds from Finnish folklore) are wonderful charms/talismans, traditionally created by grandparents for children (to hang over cradles or just in the house to bring calm and ward off the evil). they are connected with shipbuilding and mostly were made of mast pine, so great to see them evolving and transforming, keeping the antient craft alive) hope i would be able to create some birds of happiness too

    Well this is your last video so I will comment on this. YOU ARE BEST for me, I am 1 year of watching you and trying to repeat things like you.well I have not knives like that because in my country (Georgia)nowhere is this kind of things. Here wood workers only carv like religion things and none of them doing it with tools like you so mu dad make that kind of knive for me (he really knows working on iron) so now I have that one knive and trying to repeat your moves well I write this because I want to know you that .YOU change 15 year's old boy's life I am really happy of doing this things and my dream is to work with you maybe just only one time and have tools like you. LOVE YOU from Georgia and you are not one who is happy of doing this thing I am happy too to just watching on it and trying to repeat.i can't stop writing this text ...... LOVE You so much

We are supposed to take down our bird feeders and baths an bleach them and not use them until they figure out what it is and stop it. They said song birds. Your supposed to use rubber gloves to pick them up. They have swelling in their eyes and discharge. Thank you great video!

    I am a beginning whittler and I love your videos in which you explain how to....
    The thing is... I live in Europe and we have different measurements and also complete different sizes of woodblocks we are able to buy.
    (Chopping down is prohibited overhere).
    And that frustrates me because I cannot whittle your fantastic creations by following your videos step by step.
    Unfortunately whittling is not a populair thing in my country and there are no videos about it with our measurements and block sizes.
    But I absolutely love the way you show people how to create nice things from wood.
