I now have a magnificently disgruntled looking gnome sitting on my desk. Brilliant video. Thank you!

[@WoodcraftersCorner]

Haha, the more disgruntled the better!

[@robertswears4835]

Ive been carving for a few years, thanks to youtube, lol for all the videos, I enjoy yours the most. very calm and easy to keep up, love it, keep up the great content, and one thing i also noticed is your almost the only guy that stresses out safety, i cringe watching these other advanced carvers with no gloves, lol thanks

[@jessicah2504]

Excellent video. Your pace is perfect for following along. Plus all the details about your technique for example the amount of pressure to use is so very helpful. Keep up the great work. Thank you very much!!

[@WoodcraftersCorner]

Wow, that means a lot. Thank you so much!

[@jessicah2504]

Can you touch on some inexpensive gouges and v-tools? Maybe the most necessary sizes a beginner should have? Again thank you. I checked your website. Very well done as well.

What size wood do you use?

[@lisantica842]

New subscriber here. Just watched this tonight and I'll watch it again tomorrow and carve along with you. Are you starting with a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of basswood or is it wider?

[@ProdByAngus]

1x1x3 I’m pretty sure

[@vitaminanarchy1505]

1x1x6; He answered a question below. a couple comments down.

[@davesinsanevideos5520]

What size basswood are you using

[@WoodcraftersCorner]

Hello! I'm using 1x1x6 inch basswood.

[@SewWhittle]

What’s the size of the wood? I noticed it’s been a year since posting any videos. Has this channel been abandoned? Thanks!

Looks like Noggin the Nog🤔 British kids program from many years ago.
