Hi Gwynn... Haha...I like that idea...it's not an easy language to learn and it plays havoc on your throat... Thank you 😉👍🎄 Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Mark... I wish that I could make them in 4 mins... I never imagined that the barbering would be so popular... My pleasure... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Great looking Gonk Andy and a fun video as well trying to work out what you were saying. LOL. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw PS Full watch as well. LOL.
Hi Huw... Thank you for watching the whole 4 minutes... you did well... It's probably a good thing that you couldn't tell what I was saying as it's usually the one thing that makes my audience retention plummet... Haha... I hope that you managed to get lots of pens and trees made for the shows... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations I managed to boil and egg while watching so everything is good. Slowly getting there on the pens. A bit slow on the trees sorry.
Hi Roy... Haha... your comment made me laugh and I had to read it out to the missus... You are very kind and I'm glad that you enjoy my videos...👍👍👍👍 Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Stephen... Thank you so much... I'm glad that you are still enjoying my videos... God bless you and yours... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Todd... Thank you very much... I'm afraid that most of us are of a certain age and greying a bit... Haha... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Ha Ha! Love em! My biggest obstacle will be getting a decent taper to start with. I have the same problem when doing the Christmas trees…….takes me for ever and even then I make do with what I end up with. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Rick
Hi Rick... Thank you very much... The secret is to position the tool rest at the angle that you want it to taper... Then hold the tool with a finger behind the rest, work it down and you will get the same angle on the piece ...it just takes a little practice... honest... Haha.. Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Mark... I'm glad that you liked it.. these little guys are great fun to make... Thank you for your kind words... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Love it, Andy! Let there be more gonks in the world. Our winter rains have finally arrived, so lathe season has begun. Think I will add gonks to my to-do list!
Hi Valerie... Thank you very much... There can never be too many Gonks in the world... I hope that you enjoy making yours... is your "to do list " as long as mine !! We should have a competition... who gets the most rain... Cornwall or your Rainforest... Haha... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations You just might lose that bet. Our area is expected to win the west coast storm track lottery again this year. Oregon won it along with us last winter, but British Columbia got it all summer. And that left us super dry after a very wet spring. As to the “to-do” list? Afraid mine is “wish list” until left wrist is out of the brace and docs say I can start living a life again. End of year, if lucky (thumb tendon). Sigh. But it does give me lots of UA-cam time!!! So it falls on you to keep populating the world with gonks!😜😵💫😅
Ok.. I will concede that bet... sounds like you are in for a stormy winter... I'm sorry to hear about your thumb... I wish you a swift recovery... Haha.. I'll do my best on the Gonk production line... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

Hi Andy! Lovely little gonk ☺️👍🏻 Well done! As we would say: Short and painless 😂 although you do sound a little like an ET 👽 with the speed ten times faster 😂 You may have to consider speaking ten times more slowly when making these or we will miss all the commentary and half the fun as I for one enjoy listening to you a great deal 🙏🏻😊 I love the quick haircut you give the little fellow at the end… My hairdresser is way into his seventies so I may come to you for help just in case… I think he does the same technique more or less 😉 Great video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 and have a lovely Sunday ☀️ Byeeee 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude... I cheated on this video a little I'm afraid... it is one of my old videos that has been doing rather well recently so I thought that I would make a shorter version of it to cater for all those people out there who have the attention span of a goldfish... Haha... So if you wand to listen to my dulcet tones just look up log to gonk to get the full version... Haha.. so I sound like an Alien ehh... that is at 6x speed... When I do 4x speed I sound like a chipmunk.. Haha... Wow a hairdresser in his seventies... impressive... did he cut your hair when you were young... I remember my Dad taking me to our local barbers and it also doubled as a fishing tackle shop.. So half way through cutting my hair someone would come into the shop and he would stop and serve them with fishing tackle and maggots, then come back and carry on cutting my hair... no hand washing by the way... I don't know where this weekend went... I hope that you have had a lovely weekend... Take care Jude... all the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations Ha ha ha, Andy, I am laughing my head off, fishing tackle shop, that is hilarious 😂🤣😆 That is too funny 😂😂😂 Chipmunk 🐿?

One question: is this a Norman or Viking Gonk? 😂😂😂
Just kidding! Ok, a serious question: where did you get the hair for these projects?
Stuart
Hi Stuart...
Good question... I could go into a lot of details which would mean describing just what is under all that hair but he is British.. through and through...
Which means he's got Norman, Viking, French, German, and every diverse culture since those days... inside him...
The hair is from Ebay... type .. long haired faux fur - black frost ..
It sounds like you are going to make some yourself... have fun...
