I find it quite relaxing too! 😊 i’ll put some music on and it’s a good way to relax 😊

I used a coping saw for years as well, it’s a great alternative 😊👍

Thank you! 😁👍👍

Thanks for the support! 😊😊 Appreciate it 👍

Thank you! 🙏👍👍

Thanks for your kind words! 😊👍👍

Thank you! 😊👍 scroll saw will definitely save lots of time. I made the pencil, I had some charcoal pieces which are good to draw onto wood but I didn’t want want to get my figures covered in charcoal dust so I just drilled a hold through a stick and glued the charcoal in place. Once you sharpen it it works like a normal pencil 😊 👍

It’s a clutch Pencil 😊

That’s awesome, hope you enjoyed it! 😊👍👍

Just a little bit of wood glue will hold them 😊👍

I’ve done the same as you and made leather covers, I keep them all in a big leather roll I’ve made as well so they’re all kept together 😊👍

It’s a Japanese dozuki saw 😊👍

A good trick I learnt is to coat the end grains in paraffin wax, this helps prevent further moisture getting into the wood while it’s curing, if woods going to be stored for a long time it’s best to do this. Another tip is to make sure the area where you’re curing the wood has a consistent temperature, is dry and isn’t going from hot and cold too quickly, this can cause the wood to expand and contract too much which can cause cracks as well or that the area isn’t just too hot as again this can remove moisture too fast from the wood. Hope that helps! 😊👍👍

Thanks for the support! 😊👍 I am indeed, I plan on making a lot more 😊

Thanks for the kind words! 😊😊👍

Thanks for the support! I’ve used a couple of brands, mora and pfiel are good, I’m using mora in this video. If you haven’t used the spoon knife before I’d recommend getting one that’s not as expensive though, mainly so you can get used to sharpening the tool before you buy a more expensive one. Hope that helps! 😀👍

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I use a short bladed whittling knife and for this carving I did some of the groves with a v shaped Lino cutting tool as well 😊

Thank you! 😁😁

Glad you found it relaxing 😊 Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate the support! 😊😊

Thank you 😊👍

Thanks for the support! 😊👍

Thank you! 😊👍

I use Limewood/Basswood 😊👍

Thanks for the support! 😊🙏👍

Glad you liked the video! 😁👍 if I remember right (I’ve had them for quite a few years now) the brand was Naniwa. The whetstones at the time were cheaper to purchase through a culinary website, I ordered mine from a Japanese culinary knife website, the same stones were more expensive through woodworking websites for some reason 😂 I’ve had my current set for about a decade now so they’re worth the investment if they’re looked after 😊 Hope that infos useful for you buddy, happy carvings 😊👍👍

Glad it was helpful! 😊👍

Thanks for the support, I’m glad it was useful for you 😊 Good luck with your own project I bet it will look amazing!

Thanks for watching! 😊👍

Really glad it was useful for you! 😊👍👍

And also the dorsal fin to the body?? Glue or a dowel and glue?

Just good old wood glue 😊😊😊

@@lpdesignwoodwork thanks 👍

Thank you! 😃😃👍

Glad it was helpful! 😊👍

😂 that needs its own video!

Once or twice 😂 I’ve been carving for a very long time so I’ve cut myself here and there but I can’t remember the last time I did to be honest (probably just jinxed myself!) It sounds silly but anytime I ever got a cut in the past it was because I was holding the carving at an awkward angle knowing it was dangerous and I could cut myself and lo and behold you do 😂

@@lpdesignwoodwork I slipped with my brand new ultra sharp long knife last week. Avoided the tendon somehow 🤷 3 stitches and omg so much pain. Tbh now I feel like a wally 😂 I'm a newbie carver prob trying something too advanced but hey, that's how I learn!!

@@rachthegardeneroh my gosh I hope you’re ok! Best thing to do is just heal up and don’t let it put you off carving, the more experience you have the more of an intuition you get when carving with what’s comfortable and safe. I would recommend a much shorter blade for carving as well, the longer knife I sharpen in the video I only ever use for spoons and bowls because it’s too big for intricate whittling. I’ll definitely do a video really soon on safety tips for beginners too. Hope you feel better! 😊😊👍

@@lpdesignwoodwork safety tips wd be good! I'd literally just taken off my glove to check out the smoothness of the wood! Thinking wraps as well just in case!!
