- Here, I go through an okay carving (whittling) of a rooster from a branch or twig. from twig to painted and mounted rooster.
big shout out goes to Chris Lubkemann, here's his site. www.whittlingwithchris.com/
check out some finished pictures here schpoingle.blogspot.com/2015/0... - Навчання та стиль
excellent, excellent video. Have been carving for quite some time now . I believe i started back in the late 80's when you tube was non- exsisstance . I mostly learned by books, self taught.Still i have a lot to learn. Been watching Gene Messer's videos on carving the 5-minute wizard.Ive done so many of them and wanted a change. I stumbled upon your video on the rooster and watched it many times. I think my new thing is trying to make my roosters look like yours. Again you made a great video and will continue to watch your other ones
+john trebour thanks so much! i really appreciate it. Certainly look up chris lubkeman's roosters after you get some of the basics down. He's the grand master ....but every time i look at one of his roosters i see another place to try and improve. and of course his feather curls are amazing.
I hit your liked button become you giving great instructions I'm a few months and 5 characters finished and pasted halfway on 5 others last spring.
I did one rooster with a beginner tail and after a few tryouts thought my willow was perhaps starting to dry in the summer heat.
" Roosters has gills below it's beak."
Your skills are still gaining but teaching skills for video helping is above the normal so stick with us please 🙏
You're instructing great. Thanks
The little sacks. Are called wattles .there are part of a chickens body temperature regulating system. Enjoyed your video.
Great video! One of the best , if not the very best step by step rooster videos I've ever seen! Thanks soooo much for sharing with us and taking all your time and effort to assist us 'newbies'!!! Now to go out into the woods and select my wood and get to work! Thanks again sooo much for sharing all your experience! Safe carving to you and yours always!!!
" that red crap " lol made my day, great video!
Great video! I bought Chris’s book and was looking for some extra help, I learned a lot and had a few laughs, keep up the good work. Thank you.
You made that look do-able. Good clear dialogue - you have a great voice by the way !
Off to look for 'rooster' twigs now.
Shirley Trill thanks! Let me know if u need help
The roosters fin is called a comb. We have a rooster, and I can't wait to make one myself! Seen these made, but never seen a tutorial. Nice job, keep it up!
NIce video. I also highly recommend getting Chris Lubkemann's books. He is the best. Just met him this weekend at his 2/11 carving workshop in Lancaster, PA. Definitely go if you can. Chris is a real inspiration and great guy. His whittling workshop class is excellent. I loved it.
Dave Robbie no shit!? I got to meet him at the same place! It was a few years ago though.....a fox chapel open house. They were cutting up this huge walnut tree on the old 4foot disc saw. They let me have some chunks and I made some spoons and other stuff out of it. Good times. I'm n ny but my gf lives in dillsburg so we're around there every so often. Will you email me and let me know if there's up coming events or if we can help each other out in any way. Trying to get rid of a bandsaw and shop smith at the moment. Nosubject13 at yahoo. Name's daniel
Chris is my IDOL of whittling. I've been whittling using just a pocketknife since 1994, have all his books on whittling {and his one on more artsy stuff called "Tree Craft"}. I'm hoping to meet him some day. Happy whittlin' :)
Willow makes the best rooters and peacocks from twigs.
To make sure the pith isn’t rotten look at you cut end and if it has a brown dot in the center it won’t work.
The top is a comb. The sides and “beard” are wattles.
Green willow is awesome and the bark dries brown.
Wow, this is stunning! It's also convenient because I have just started woodcarving. When I started watching, I thought it was impossible for you to be able to do this. But I was wrong!
"practice them . . . before you get started." YES! Excellent advice.
Just watched the 30 minute wood spirit video, so I carved a wood spirit while watching this. He looks kinda funny. Thanks for uploading these man. The voice over is super cool keep it up!
That turned out great! Good job!
"Those are the scientific anatomical parts of the chicken" just won you a subscribe XDDD
Really enjoying your vids... appreciate your honesty. Cudos to giving Chris props ! I watch his vids of course but is good to watch others on the same topics cause sometimes you’ll pick something up, thanks !
❤ Love love this! Beautiful job!
His Sack ? lololoNice work carving!FYIThe skin hanging underneath a rooster's neck is known as the wattle. Wattles are the same color as the fleshy skin, or comb, on a rooster's head. ... A healthy wattle is soft, blemish-free and deep red, which indicates good blood flow.

You beat me to it! LOL
Gabby
This is freaking amazing, my dad who's a breeder would love this.
That red thing is a cone
The red on top his head is the comb, the red under his beak is the waddle.
Great carving! Comb on top of the head and waddles under the beak.
So cool! I'm loving this and can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing. I've heard the top part called crown and the neck called a beard. Easy for me to remember anyway.
Where I live (Manitoba Canada) the top is a "Comb" and turkey's have a beard on their neck. (
just saying)
@@larrywoods820 so does my ex. The beard I mean.
LoL 😂 good job buddy the top is called a comb below the beak a waddle nice work from a old country boy I carve wood spirts out of drift wood just getting into stick chicken carving thanks
Do u have videos on wood spirits I want to learn those
very very good video. excellent camera angle and comments.
+J Curtis hey, thanks so much! i appreciate that.
The red part on the top is called the comb kind of remember the idea it looks like a comb over every now and then
that's brilliant, great stuff
the comb is on top and waddles under beak if that helps
Complimenti. Molto belli. Bravo. Ma che legno usi???
@Shpoingle the roosters "head piece" is called a "comb" and the "sacks below the beak are called "wattles".
So now you know!
Gabby
If you don't mind me asking what brand of pocket knife is that?
"That red crap." HA! Hilarious. It's called a comb, by the way. Loved your rooster.
Anessa Tauschek thanks homie! Peace.
Thanks for sharing this.
you said something about pennsylvainia, do you live there? because i live in pennsylvainia too!
Love you roosters! It's so funny listening to you too. The thing on rooster's head is comb, btw...
+罗理纲 hah! thanks so much. that means allot. i found out the thing under it's neck is a 'waddle'! how funny is that? i think i'm starting to get one.
you are welcome. Someone told me the sack under its neck, the waddle.., is rooster's testicle. So I hope you won't have yours there, hahaha
+罗理纲 is it really?! that's weird. :)
+schpoingle no, it's not real. I googled it after I post my reply. But rooster's testicles are bigger than I thought...
omg..i'm totally looking it up now. my search history is always gonna have cock balls in it though.
that was cool man! im gona go to the park tomorrow and pick up some sticks to make one!
+adamunchy awesome! good luck. let me know if you have any questions. also, if you look up Chris Lubkeman's books you can see some of the steps in the sample on amazon.
+schpoingle thanks man i'll check that out. quick question though, does it matter if the sticks are wet/damp? Im from Scotland and it rains all the friggin time lol
i wanna go to scottland...
anyway, it's okay if the wood is wet. might even be easier to carve. You just don't want wood that's too old/rotted/brittle. either cut a small branch off a tree or find one that didn't fall too long ago. if it's raining allot then any wood on the ground is going to rot faster. you shouldn't be able to snap the twig clean. it should bend a bit and when it does break it should be a slow and bendy break. or just bring a knife with you and test the twig. see if its too hard, and if you can get a little v point in it. since most of this carving is just little points.
"Kick the dog is you still have your legs." HAHA you just won the internet
Good job 👍
The cap is called the Comb
Thank you for showing us you chickin stick..i wood love to be as good at carveing as you are...he looks really great.ok
That's so creative^_^
Hermoso trabajo ,amigo ,un abrazo desde chile. Made one Alesis Sanchez
+Raulito Torres Muchas gracias amigo
the other issue of interest is your take on treating wood, either by spraying with alcohol/water as yo have shown elsewhere, but i know that for instance old wooden golf drivers heads are made of persimmon wood that has been soaked in oil for a long time
Do you sell these?
Hey schpoingle, love your videos. i was wondering what we should do if we have no access to a wood carving knife or wood from a store, is simple dead sticks found on the ground and a basic pocket knife a good substitute?
+ThePlatinumGaming im not talking about this carving im talking about carving in general
+ThePlatinumGaming okay! i made a video last night just for your comment! really, i'd been meaning to make it for some time but...yeah...anyway...like most videos I talk and ramble way too much.
most modern pocket knives can't really carve. I suggest using replaceable exact/hobby knives while trying out the craft. sharpening sucks and is expensive..so get some extra blades for that hobby knife.
as far as wood goes: the answer is yes, i almost always use 'found wood'. you basically just try out the wood on the ground. make a few whittles. just make sure it's not too written or hard.
as far as pocket knives go, they aren't as strong...but many people use them (like me) for small stuff and for carrying around. if you want to get one at some point then let me know and i'll help you get one for cheap. if you have an old vintage one that is carbon steel, I can reshape it and sharpen it for you.
now go check out your video.ua-cam.com/video/AG_izVWlLec/v-deo.html
Wow, thank you so much, you truly are great. you really love your fans, and we love you too.
thanks man.
hey email me and i'll send you some wood. i gotta send out crap on monday i think, so email me by then. nosubject13@yahoo.com
idk...have you emailed me before? i forget....whatever. i'll hook you up though, you're a my number one fan.
holy crap dude thats awesome whats your email
fabuloso .saludos de venezuela
Amazing
Very cool! I think I want to try this when I get better. I liked all of the technical bird words ;)
emopacesetter hah! yeah...technical...anyway, but thanks allot. i appreciate it. you should def try this now though. i did some early in my carving and after they were painted they still looked okay. it's really not that bad.
how's things going in with your wood carving? you got tools and sharpening stuff? need anything? want to send me pics of what you've made? nosubject13@yahoo.com
I am going camping next weekend, I will practice the tail feathers and it I am relatively good at them I will try it :)
Great idea..wish I saw this before I went camping this past weekend. Thanks for posting.
Tom Pritchard thanks! and yeah, this is a great little project to do while out and about. all you need is your pocket knife.
What knife were you using in this video?
damn do i miss that knife. this was an f.herder. my favorite vintage knife maker. i used to troll ebay for them.
any older pocket knife will do since they are carbon steel.. but people collect them. there was a time period when cheaper methods for scales 'handles'.....nevermind...judging by your handle you know all this. yeah it was just a lucky find on ebay
@@schpoingle I love a good vintage blade myself! Got many and usually go for eBay also. Great video thanks for the reply!!
@@popsforgeblacksmithing4793 look if you are interested I'd be willing to do a video with you? you'd supply pictures and perhaps video of your process and then we'd do a recorded zoom interview and i can put all together? i've been wanting to do this type of thing. not to sell your stuff but because i like learning and sharing about craft.
nosubject13@yahoo.com my name is daniel if you are interested send me a number
The thing on a roosters head is called a comb
Bob Arbaughthanks. i looked it up. the sack is called a wattle. pretty funny
In 2018
"Sack" LOL
Comb=fins waddle =sack
Blows me away that someone doesn’t know that, but I guess someone growing up in cities may never have seen a chicken before it’s cooked and stuck in a bucket🤣😂
lol thanks for watching! appreciate the insight
@@schpoingle I’m sorry, I completely neglected to say how much I love this project and appreciate the time you took to show it to us! Thank you!💕
I love the voice over, very funny but not trying to be funny. Now I've gotta find a y branch😹
👍Nicely Done🔪
aww! thank you
I did it... and it looks great BUT I have not fanned or feathered out the tail for fear of ruining it on the final step. Going to have to just go for it here!🙃
The red crap is called a comb. Lol
Totally not copying Stinnett sticks
Pretty good at carving. Pretty horrible at the names of things. Haha.
TheDistur u love it!!!
this kid made me so mad.
when he said he wasnt gunna share any of his secrets... 7:12
"Red crap" is the "comb", city-boy.
How pathetic - This was the only comment you had for his video? This guy showed you a detailed step-by-step video on how to turn a twig into a ROOSTER. If you're trying to correct someone, at least be accurate. It's properly referred to as a cockscomb. The problem is you don't live in the city, you are surrounded by people (most likely the parents you live with) who use shorter version or words. Unintended jargon, so to speak . So your farm-boy ass needs to go back to farm school before trying to educate people you don't know.
I agree.
thanks 4 upload, cityboy
@@pandahaxe9106 Haha he was just messing with him man. Chill tf out
