Hi Lloyd! Thank you. I think they look more realistic now. Thanks for stopping by. Stay awesome!

Hi Gerry! Thank you. I show the figures when I first carved them in this video, but I made resin castings of them, and then re-carved them since then, making some significant changes: ua-cam.com/video/i7MX0Bop1QI/v-deo.html To learn how to carve small figures, I would check out SharonMyART's channel. That's where I got my start. She teaches you a lot of good carving fundamentals, and the little people are great fun to carve: ua-cam.com/video/41JmTFjCLPM/v-deo.html Good luck with your carving! I sure love to carve, and the more you do it, the better you get, and the more satisfying it becomes. Warm greetings from Wishram.

@ thanks for the tip. I’ll check your other vids and sharonmyart as well.

Hi Lynn! Thank you. Musicians are always fun to watch. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are doing well.

Hi Charles! Thank you. i'm just having me some fun. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Lloyd! The devil is in the details as they say. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend too my friend!

Hi Ducelick! Thank you. I think they look more life-like now. I'm trying to figure out how I can get a frog in the canoe, playing a ukulele, wearing a straw hat. That might be some fun! Have a great weekend!

I don't think I would have the Frog playing music. It wouldn't look right if the Frog was very large. So, I think it would look funnier to have the frog laying in one end of the boat stretched out with a straw hat down over his face and perhaps moving his foot back and forth or tapping his toe if you wanted movement, but I don't think movement would be necessary. Just the Frog stretched out with his arms hooked up underneath his head like he is taking a nap.

Hi Lynn! It's just a piece of plastic, so I think he'll be okay. Thanks for Christmas card! Have a great weekend!

@ We are enjoying our first snow in 3 years. 🙂 Well, I enjoy it unless we lose power. The grandkids are having a ball.

@@lynnstillwell2 That sounds like fun!

Hi Susie Thanks! Wishing you Bill all the best in 2025! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Ducelick! That's a good idea. After I finish with the ukulele players, I'm going to make some caneo-paddling figures, so I'll make one like that then. I'm thinking of making them out of Fimo, polymer clay, that you can bake in your oven. Then I can make a mold of it and resin castings. Have you ever done any Fimo clay work? If you could make a head for me, I could graft it onto a body. Might be fun! Wishing you a blessed and happy New Year too!

Hi Deb! Thank you. Wishing you and yours all the best 2025 too! I hope it's filled with whirligigs too. Warm greetings from Wishram. Peaches says hiiiiii!!!!!

Hallo Freund! Ich würde gerne ein Bild Ihrer Zwerge sehen. Das Holzschnitzen macht mir sehr viel Spaß. Vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch. Herzliche Grüße von Wishram.

Hi Joo! Thank you. I sure had fun on that project. The scene on the propeller blades is supposed to be the Columbia River Gorge, a National Scenic Area, which is where I live. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Joo! Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing this whirligig working in the wind. I'm definitely going to make one for myself too. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Lloyd! Thank you. I hope you had a great Christmas too. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Max! Thank you. Yeah, I'm hoping to bring whirligigs to the masses, and when that happens, I will be king of this world! Thanks for stopping by. Happy Holidays to you. Stay awesome!

Hi Lynn! The first crankshaft I bent up, I forgot to put any bearings inside, so I made sure I had enough the next try. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas too.

Hi Heidi! Thank you. I'm excited to be working on this project. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hi Charles! Thank you. I appreciate you stopping by. Merry Christmas to you my friend!

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Holidays!

Thanks Joo! I'm going to study the drawing of Jon, and see if I can make some improvements. Check out this new saying Stud Walker came up with this morning: "When you are great-full, you are full of greatness!" Thanks for stopping by. Have the great-fullest day ever!

@@ToddAndrewCole both Jon and I like Stud's new saying! It is GREAT! 🧡🙏🌻

@@piekia I'm grateful for your comment. Oh, would you look at that?!!! Now, I'm full of greatness!

Hi Joo! I have a lot of SpongeBob stuff because my mother used to buy it for me. I even have SpongeBob underwear!

I think her art is amazing! Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

That was fun!

Hi Ducelick! Thank you. I like your idea! I'll have to think about how to do it. Thanks for stopping by. Merry Christmas and Season greetings from Wishram.

Oi amigo! Obrigado. Enviando saudações calorosas de Wishram.

I think I will hang onto the bird until the Spring, and then I'll see how he's getting along. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Ducelick! I love your imagination! I was imagining something like too, but you put into words, except the girl wasn't rowing. That sure would be fun to make. I'll keep your vison in mind. I may try again with a rowboat instead of a canoe next time.

Hi Heidi! It sure is! I'm making good progress. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Sun Day!

Hi Lloyd! Thank you. I think they will be fun. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Fry Day!

Hi friend! Yeah, I was thinking that. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

Hi Joo! It's fun how things come together sometimes. I guess I sound happy because I'm very excited to be working on your whirligig. Could you send any pictures of Jon when he was young? Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

@@ToddAndrewCole thanks again Todd! I have sent you an email with couple photos and links!

Hi Lynn! He sure is! He's made an amazing recovery. I've been feeding him my dove's eggs, and lots of walnuts. Have a great weekend!

Hi Lynn! Thank you. I like how things are working out so far. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi friend! Thank you. I'm excited to see how this project comes out. I'm glad you're still out there. I always enjoyed your videos. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

Thank you my dear friend. I hope you are safe and well. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

Hi Lloyd! Nature is resilient. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

Hi Joo! Thank you. I sure love the artwork you sent. I'm very close to starting on the whirligig, and I'm very excited to see what will be created. You are most welcome. I sure enjoyed visiting your channel yesterday; it's full of wonderful surprises! I hope you are safe and well. Warm greetings from Wishram.

@@ToddAndrewCole Thanks for your warm words Todd. I have neglected my art lately. But I am very well. Jon is very well too. I am very excited to see what you will create! Talk again soon!

Thank you my friend. I wish you could teach me your sign painting skills. I'm hoping to make some canoe paddlers out of resin soon. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Lloyd! They sure are! She has a fun imagination. I will try to do my best. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Samir! Yes, they are real treasures, especially because they are so personal to me and my bird. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

@@ToddAndrewCole It's a warm private corner , God bless

Hi Lynn! It sure is! I just love having them on the wall where I can see them from my computer chair. I went to the thrift store and found some frames for them. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful Son Day!

@ I especially like the really colorful one with all the detail! 😊

Hi Lynn! Yeah, he did a fantastic job. They probably wouldn't like it. My mom used to have Fllicker woodpeckers come and bang on her metal gutters every Spring. They are very territorial. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. I'll be baking pies and rolls today.

Hi Lynn! I don't know, but I have heard the starlings around here mimicing red-tailed hawks. That's interesting. I'll have to watch for it. I bet you were going crazy looking for that hawk; I know I was!

Hi Charles! Yes, he is very nervous, but I think he will calm down eventually. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Joo! Thank you. I'll take what comes. Who knows, I may be the lucky one! It's like the old saying, "No one is your friend, no one is your enemy, everyone is your teacher." I'll see what I can teach this bird, and we'll see what this bird teaches me. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.
