PS NOT A GOOD CARVER AS YOU LIKE YOUR CARVINGS
Really enjoyed watching you carve the Alaska chick nice carving I'AM A CARVER AND I AM 84 YEARS OLD AND JUST GOT BACK INTO CARVING. HPOE THE GOOD LARD LETS ME GO FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.
I am a new carver and the mystery of proper stropping has been a challenge. This is a great tutorial and has cleared up my confusion and giving me a direction on how to take care of my carving tools. Great job. Thanks so much.
Hey where are your old videos? I swear you had one on creating patterns from taking pics. Was hoping to reference it again. :)
WHERE CAN i GET THAT MUSIC? YOU ARE A GREAT CARVER!
Excellent work, very well done👍👍✌
Wow, amazing carvings james .
James, so good to have you back. I like your take on carving and such. Look forward to seeing many more.
hallo james, whats the matter with you, why were you gone
Hi, I have a question about the gouges and the v tools you use.I see tools are Swiss made. I also have them but I find they are a bit long and that makes them not so comfortable as flex cut. But I think they cut and work better than Flex cut. I'm not really sure but I noticed that you've made yours shorter. Is that right or I'm wrong? Tell me more about this, please.
No, these are as they came. Truth is I prefer both. The brand isn’t how I think about it. There are gouges I like more by flexcut and some I prefer by swiss made. That said I agreethat flexcuts are more comfortable but pfiel metal its better so the edges last longer.
Well-done James, the video was very enjoyable, can't wait for the next one.
What happened to all your other videos? Did you take them down? I was looking for the ones where you created a wizard. In any case, it's good to have you back.
I did, we are re-filming all of them.
Looking forward to them. Thanks for uploading them, they are very helpful.
Missed You, Thank You for Coming Back! Don't let IDIOTS get to you.
Thank you James, this video helped so much carving anything was always trial and error using stick figures. never thought about a tablet so going to ask Santa very nicely if he can see his way for one for Christmas. Fingers crossed I made the nice list this year.
Fantastic to see you back James.
Good to see you back James!
Welcome back, I was looking for your videos
Thanks. This time the sole purpose will be regarding the local club which was the original intention of Alaska Woodchuck in the first place. Because of that I will be taking my time to do it right and redoing just about every previous video aside from product reviews. This time will have access to four professional shop set up and be able to produce much higher quality videos.
