in this video i take a piece of Basswood (Linden) and take you through the steps i take to carve out a little man with only a knife (Helvie 1 3/4")
-the thought behind this tutorial is to upgrade my existing smaller man tutorial and set you up to create your own style of carving just by changing a feature or two and putting your own spin on it

You talking us through the entire craving is the way a how-to video should be, I just wish everyone who does how-to/DIY videos would do the same. I subscribed to you for that simple fact. I have learned so much from your videos and I am glad you talk us through exactly what you are doing. I know we would watch these videos of your's even if they were 3 or 4 hours long.
What I love about your videos and instruction Doug is that you’re not just showing how to carve the caricature, but providing a “method” or “guide” for overall carving. That’s what most of us need. An approach that lets us go off in many directions. In this one, using the “finger” measuring method just shows how flexible and arbitrary a carver can be and still get great results.
Thank you so much for this one ☝️
❤
So I’m not the only one who loves to listen to you explain carving as you go,
So calming it’s a beautiful thing,
A meditation relaxation 😇🙏
Thank you🥰 Doug!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Elisha Joaquin Instablaster ;)
@Benton Leroy Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Benton Leroy It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Elisha Joaquin you are welcome xD
"It's such a happy little mustache..." The Bob Ross of carving. The peaceful artist that can portage for miles then frame a house. Lol. Great video. Whatever you did with the lighting showed a lot more of the wood grain. Really liked this one.
Kevin Foley ...enough of Bob Ross🥱, more like Wayne Dyer😊
@@anitarussum4590 I'd say that's a little bit erroneous. There will never be enough happy clouds and trees. Thank you so much for the reply. You honestly are my first ever youtube reply. I've only commented a few times, so I understand it's not a milestone. I love this freedom of disagreement. I can't figure out how to do the emojis on a computer, so two emoji smiley faces to you. If you know Doug, let him know we need more videos.
Thanks Doug, love all your carving videos. Favs are moose , bear, and the lil guys. Loved the supply run, watch it often, so peaceful . God Bless you and family, they are so lovely, you are a Blessed man. How bout carving a sitting caricature , moose , bear, lil men and ladies. “Long version please, we just enjoy your company and uplifting spirit”. Please,Please,Please.
I am a 61 year old relief carver but love to carve little objects like this. I am a beginner and retired from my job. I can do more and learn more about carving and I have learned so much from you. Thanks a lot
Hola soy de Argentina.estoy lejos...aprecio tus vídeos los veo todos y aprendo un monton...me.gustaria.saber.que.madera.usas.psra.buscar.algo similar.en mi.pais..gracias
Haha, yes, I prefer long and taking too! The long version lets me follow along and your talking helps me understand what’s going on
I agree, more of the same guys carved with the different features, or even split the vids up at the end so they all have a different conclusion
:)
I like the long videos with you explaining
Thanks so much. I was hoping you would update this carving. You remain the master teacher. I can't think of anyone who does more for this craft than you. Very much appreciated.
Doug,
Just want to say I'm really enjoying taking 10-12 hours to screw up what you can do perfectly in about an hour and 15 minutes. Thanks for your videos, big time!
Keep it up my friend ..they love you ..Your a inspiration to so many ..and besides that a great teacher
Hey Doug, been watching dozens of how to carve/whittle and have to say your tutorials are the best, thank you for doing them
Doug you are very calming to watch in the same class as Bob Ross keep up the great work and thanks for the entertainment
Oh my goodness, it worked! I have carved the cutest little man named Walter!! I am strangely attached to him! Thank you so much Doug! Your instructions are amazing!!! I wish I could figure out how to share my picture of him!!!
Long, with lots of flapping gums.....perfect! Thanks Doug!!! Keep up the great work
Thanks Doug! Done your little mushroom man last week, my brother loved it. Great videos 👍Hope you and the family are well. 🇬🇧
It just amazes me of the affects that you put on your carvings, awesome! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
You Sir are a Very Gifted individual , not only with talent as a Carver , but the ability to teach others in visual an verbal quality that is second to none , there is just no comparison between any Written article or pictures to your work Thank You very much for these videos .
Love the way you measure, my wife never understands when I say a small inch or a large inch. Any great video, all the best from the UK
Commentary, carving, and humour are all excellent as usual 😃👏
Doug you got me hooked on carving thanks. Your work is awesome. I learned not to hurry and a sharp knife will improve anybodys carving.
Brilliant! I'm on a little holiday in North Carolina. When I'd had enough of the beach, this was the PERFECT way to relax and enjoy a cigar. Thank you.
Enjoying a cigar right now, in NC
I like the tutorial videos. Seeing you carve out an arm isn’t the same without you telling us why. Your dimensions in metric finger widths are so easy to follow. 😂 I love to carve, but I need practice and confidence. Your videos inspire me to at least give it a try. I carved an old wizard looking face on a walking stick last week. It’s probably not all that good, but I’m very proud of it. Thank you and keep making the great videos (with talking). 😉
Thanks Doug. The long video is much appreciated and no I didn't get bored watching you manipulate that knife and transform that little block of wood. Your dialog is fine too, makes one feel that we are right there taking a class. Again thank you.
I just started whittling couple weeks ago thanks to stumbling on your channel. Did your wood spirit today while 'working' during conference calls, easier than I expected thanks to your great instruction. Tempted to try this one...but seems intimidating and maybe I need to crawl more before trying to run (with a knife in hand no less!)
I just purchased the two tools you said will get me by for a long time! Tools and wood will be here by Friday.
Thanks for the inspiration Doug!
Long or short, it’s great watching you carve/whittle. Thanks for another fun video.
Your videos have inspired me to try whittling. I’ve got a couple little projects under my belt now and I’m hooked. Thanks for sharing such a great hobby with the world.
THANK YOU, I LOVE THAT GUY, MR.MUSTACHE! I also loved your show, very good! I was 81 on the 14th and I enjoyed watching and listening while you work and I was carving my wife a ring from our red maple that was cut down from our front yard. THANKS AGAIN
The longest videos are the best and this video is great again. Looking forward for your next video ;-) Thanks for your inspiring work.
Hi Doug. Thank you so much, you an inspiration to me. I copied your work and sold several carvings to help fund repairs to our village church. Best wishes to you and your family. Colin Bowen (UK)
I put buttons on my sweater for my guy got him taller like for Christmas time but I like to listen to you talk it is calming
Thanks for the tutorial Doug, all these little men have such great personality. You give a lot of inspiration to carve and I enjoyed making this man a lot.
Dear sir! You looked much better with your medium size beard! It looked like a big live gnome was sitting and thoughtfully carving figures of his many relatives and friends as he remembered their faces in his long underground past life. GL and thanks very much for a teaching.
Hi Doug, love your work, again very beautiful. Just started, and cut my self with glove on!! Just above the protection. Keep on whittling.
Your lighting has definitely gotten better, the wood does not dazzle near as much, and you can see pencil lines from far more angles now.
As always, your videos are very inspiring and cozy here late at night before bedtime in Denmark.
Ronja Røverdatter ...🤣 lighting is too bright for me😎
@@anitarussum4590 Yeah! I should probably have written light settings instead 😏
Doug, each of your videos is better than the last. So are your carvings. It's like watching you grow as a whittler. Been watching you since the beginning. Can only hope I've grown half as much. Thank you so much!
Another great one, Doug. Lighting is a lot easier on the eyes. Thank-you.
As always Doug excellent video
Excellent tutorial
Awesome patients
Great video, Doug. It wasn't too long at all. I enjoyed every minute of it and learned a few things too!
Thanks Doug. Great video. Like the long videos. Picked up some pointers. Have a great day.
I really enjoy watching your videos, it reminds me of my dad, every time he sat down when we were in the fish farm. He will grab a piece of wood and start curving. he passed away in 2012.You make curving so easy.Thanks for sharing your videos!!
OMG!!! almost hour and a half. thank you Doug!!!!!
Bob Ross of wood carving
Thanks for the tutorial Doug. So many possibilities with these guys💯
i've watched four of your videos back to back so length is no problem , you have a very pleasent way of speaking which is very easy to listen to. and another great job , cant for the sun to come up so i can get some branches , i have woods full of good ones , little man looks like an irish mine supeviser from the 1800's . once again thank you for the upload ,,, great stuff
Now that's the kind of Doug video that I've grown to love!! Inspiring Sir...
Thank you sir, I'm new to whittling, you got me hooked on this hobby after I cut down 3 small password trees and recognized what they were, so I went out and bought a couple knives, I haven't stayed up this late since my honeymoon, if I may suggest just one thing, you know there's always just one thing, but if you could show the finished product all the way around you would certainly help me to know where I'm going before I start, just a little better, thank you again so much!
Thanks Doug, for yet another good video. 👍😁
Love how you teach and I agree that your commentary is very important to us who are learning! Thank you😊👍🏼
a wood carver knows what he will end up with when he is done. a whitler whle whitling discovers what is hiding inside and brings it out. wood carver copies something he sees , a whitler creates . you Doug , are a wonderful creater thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for putting time and effort into helping us newbies. Love watching and listening you carve definitely like the longer video!
Thank you for another great tutorial. Of the many available online, I find myself seeking yours out for their ease to follow, and consistent results. Thank you!
Very well explained Doug and nice of you to share your tricks of the trade.
This guy must hand extremely strong hands. It took me 20-30 cuts to his one cut. I finished the project in 25 hours with one cut finger and two blisters and my carving looked nothing like the one he did. I have new respect for knife carvers.
Hi doug I hope your well I enjoyed your making of your man I shall try doing it myself thanks for the inspiration dough ? James
So I started with dremel & was curious about the knife. I finally broke down & bought a knife. I very much enjoyed making my 1st lil dude. I have to say thank u bc u r the 1 who peaked my interest of the knife! I wish I cold show u my lil dude he's very flat lol but I'm still proud 😁🤪Thanks again love watching ur videos!!!!
I always enjoy your videos. I get something out of them every time. And I really like when to talk to us as you carve
Doug, thanks so much for all your hard work on these videos. I've watched most of them multiple times. You truly are a UA-cam University professor :)
Always love your tutorials Doug
Thank you for your videos. I started carving about a year and a half ago and it has changed my life and your videos have been a big part of that. I find carving to be one of the most relaxing things I've ever done. Your videos have influenced all most all of the characters I carve in one form or another and I have enjoyed carving each one of them. Someday I hope to meet you in person and shake your hand and let you know how much your simple videos have helped me. God Bless and thank you.
You have any videos of your work?
Thank you Doug for ur constant projects. My nephew's kids just love the projects I've learned from u and gene. I have lots more to do again. I couldn't without your videos 💕
Love it, awesome video, thanks again Doug ! I will be watching this one several times. Still learning... 🤗
I'm carving my little man follow the steps of this video. Thanks!
Doug, great video. Thank you. Some perspective, I know as an educational or how to video it is not necessary to make a video of each variety, but...
I work long hours and rarely get a lot of time to carve. I do however take a few minutes here and there to watch you carve. It lowers my stress and scratches the carving itch a little.
Anyway, I just lime watching you carve, an hour plus video is fine with me.
Thanks again, you serve as more than as a teacher. Just my 2cents.
Love the updated version. Always love the tutorial.
Thank you so much for sharing these tutorials Doug! For a beginner they are so well done and informative, they have made learning so much more fun and exciting. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your talents and teach the next generation of carvers! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Doug. I decided to try carving, because of your videos.
First..You are who i watch to learn how to carve and I greatly appreciate that you put your videos out..
At a certain point you say to thin the head down all the way around.. So i do..
Then when i start the video back up you say.. OK we have the three sides done.. doh !
Scrap that piece..Keep up the good work.. I look foward to each and every video..
Enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for sharing👍
Very encouraging how you encourage creativity. One of these days one of my little guys will look like a cousin of yours and not a Bighead! Excellent example of how to create shadows and make everything pop. Thanks.
I don't know how I missed this video, glad I found it. Lots of good tips, especially narrowing the head and feet!
What a great job Doug 😀
It's great the way you jabber thru your video's and it's like having a one-to-one tutorial (and it's only me you are talking too lol) - Keep going & keep safe (you & the family)
You always inspire me to improve Doug. Repurposed my old desktop computer hutch into a dedicated carving hutch this week. Waiting on the Amazon truck to deliver an under cabinet LED light.
A good thing that came out of the stay at home quarantine is I believe my carving is improving due to more practice at it. Thanks !!!
Thank you , Mr Doug .
Nice i am from holland and just start garving you are my guide i love to garfing ❤
Listening to you talk and explain things has a way of sinking in , at least for me
And in a relaxing way. Perfect for shop time
Doug ... Outstanding video; better content!!! Love both the longer video and the narration. Am putting my carving tools together and hope to start whittling/carving in November. Thank you so very very much for your inspiration, motivation, encouragement and instruction!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good!!! Take care, be safe, all my best and God bless. Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas, USA. 🤠🐩🖖✝️
Love. Love Love the video. perfect. Keep up the great work. I am learning a lot from your videos. Thanks so much.
We appreciate you teaching us this craft. I would love to give it a go. thank you so much
I love carving
Excellent work my friend. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I am fairly new to carving but began a chess set last january. I am definitely looking to improve my skill set. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.
This was so delightful and soothing. Love to watch you carve and explain what and how you are doing what you are doing at the time. Turned out great. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.
Well done, Doug. I agree with the others, your commentary is welcome.
Dankeschön für das neue Video. I translated. Thank you for the new video.
I'm always happy about it. ❤️❤️ 🇩🇪🇱🇷
I have just found you channel and videos you have made me want to try again. Thank you so much for your time effort and talent
Love the video. You have a soothing calming voice to listen to. Awesome all the way around. Thanks a lot!
I have all my products now I need the time to sit and carve. I blame Shawn James for introducing me on “hugely gardening”
😂
Great video😀
Great video. I prefer the long videos with you talking too. I can work out what you're doing more easily and you explain what you're doing and why. Keep them coming please!!
Definitely with you talking! I'm a big fan of your videos and hope to see many more.
Educational, cool, fun and relaxing. Thanks again Mr. Linker!
Doug. Great job once again. You truly are giving me some confidence to move ahead on my own. Great teaching from a Canadian guy. Lorne. Edmonton.
Hey Doug, i've only recently discovered you and i'm hooked. Carving is something i've been interested in for many years (i made two small spoons a long time ago), but since then..nothing! I have watched some of your vids and subscribed. You have reignited my interest massively and i'm awaiting some tools and some wood to start learning. You are such an inspiration and i really enjoy your tutorials. You have a lovely, chill way of teaching your skills and i can't wait to get started. Thankyou!
Always learn something...thank you❤️
Nice video Doug. Exactly what I needed after I’d kinda riffed off the bear and mushroom ideas. Definitely going to try some little dudes. Any chance of a quick video on how to make a female dude? (Dudette?) I’ve tried a couple and am sort of stuck.
Hey Doug thank you for your awesome videos and for taking the time to do this. I actually started carving because of you.
I want to make a cat carving for my wife. She’s a true cat lover but I am not having any success at the time. Any pointers or maybe a video if you can.
Enjoyed your video. Your instructions help explain what your trying to achieve. Giving us more of a clue of the reason your making the cuts. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your talent. Enjoyed every minute of the video and how you turned a 4" wood into a piece of art. Bravo!
