Thank you for the quality content you produce. Wood carving is a dying craft/art form. Anything we can do to get folks INVOLVED, is worthwhile! I especially love working with kids. It is so rewarding

[williamdavis]

This was the best explained beginning carving video I have watched!! I can’t wait to take this video to the garage tomorrow and make this!

[chrisorcutt]

That's pretty simple for you. But you make it look like great fun. That what will bring young people in. Thanks again.

Loved watching your take on this project. It's one of my favorites. I first tried it after watching Doug Linker's video and loved it. Great beginner project... speaking of Doug, I miss the Coffee & Carving videos. Loved listening to you two talk about carving and life. My fingers are crossed in hopes that you guys will the channel back up again, but until then thanks for your great videos. 👍🏻

Fun! I made that 5 minute wizard in just under an hour! Haha. Warning: Caricature carving can encourage and reinforce OCD tendencies.

Great tutorial! I’ve always been intimidated by wood carving, but after watching this, I feel it’s something I can do! Just liked and subscribed! Thank you!

[garypaulson]

[Gormbauer]

That Badger state blades knive seems like it's cutting great 👍
I brought 3 of their blades for what the price of many good knifes sale for. The handle I made are a different method of making handles and stronger as my work is laminated, such as plywood, both of which are stronger than just wood.
I built my for a better fit as many knives varieties are smaller than I like .
I've tested my knives, and I believe they are good enough for my lifetime
I'm trying this .
You have slowed down your teaching, and it's more helpful to me .
I have pre-order your book and also the carving magazine. Sure, having the steps by step will help someone begin such as myself. I'm confident I can be fairly good with some skill building
Do you think that looks like Doug? I do.
Thanks for your inspiration

Great video, love these little characters 👍

[JohnKeating-tf]

Alec you forgot to mention to never carve naked, always have a good pair of sandals on! 😆

[judithvilla]

Good detail for a noob like me! I like how the hat turned out! Any tips to cut the blank on the diagonal when you don't have power tools?

[Will-nnpb]

One of the oldest traditions in human history. And we still do it.

[milanjovanovic]

What kind of wood you usally use, looks very soft

[jstevenanderson]

Any chance of you using metric sizes as well as imperial most of the world understands mm, other than that great video
