- In this video, we take a look at the kind of tools which I carry in my basic greenwood carving kit. After being asked a few questions regarding the kind of tools which I use, I though I would put the answers in a quick video. Thanks for watching...……

I fully appreciate every tool there Mark. It's apparent you cannot hope to carve unless you have the right gear to do so. I can imagine enjoying carving if only I could afford the kit at present. One day I will have that spare cash and yes give it a go. The Wye has of course gone down a great deal but it's left a lot of people counting the cost. It's nice and sunny here today. Thanks for sharing Mark and the mention. Sorry for the late response. All the best. Mark
Hi Mark, I hope you are keeping well mate and having a nice weekend :) Sorry for the late reply Mark, I have been commuting back and forth to Wales. Pesky work lol. I was wondering how the Wye was doing. I drove over the river Dee this morning and that is thinning out a bit, but still plenty of flooded houses and gardens. Thanks for taking the time as always Mark. It is always great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
I don’t think a new carver can go wrong with Mora. I’ve got the 3 you mentioned and they’ve served me well for basic carving tasks. I enjoyed the video as usually Mark, nice work.
Hi Baseball Morgan, I hope you are keeping well :) I agree, Mora knives are great knives for the money. I looked the other day and some cost as little as £15. For anyone starting out they are a bargain. I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, all the best, Mark :)
Good morning buddy. Very nice setup and you went through all the options which is helpful!
Nice to see you again, take care👍🌲🔥🍻
Good morning Wade... I hope you are keeping well mate :) Thank you as always for stopping by, it is always great to hear from you :) Have a great week ahead mate, all the best, Mark :)
Always enjoy your videos.
The tool roll looks the business for keeping everything organized.
Hi Pete, I hope you have been keeping well mate. Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as always :) The tool roll I picked up last summer at the Bushcraft Show. I have had a few over the years, but I like how the pockets expand, so it can accommodate more tools. Have a great week ahead, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark, hope you are well. Glad to hear that your area has not been too badly affected by the storms, got fairly lucky in my area too. some nice tools there, hoping to give it a crack myself soon, think I'll start with mushrooms. Thanks again Mark, Take care mate 👍🙂
Hi Mike, I hope you have been keeping well mate :) I agree Mike, I think we must of been lucky with the weather. There is a bit of storm damage locally, but nothing compared to the floods that some have had. Unfortunately I have still had to endure it during the day at work. I have spent the past few weeks clearing out brooks and ditches to try and allow some of the water run down stream. Roll on summer ay Mike.... then we can moan it is too hot lol. Thanks for taking the time Mike, it is always great to hear from you. Take care, all the best, Mark :)
Nice kit mark, I agree I think it’s best putting your own together rather than buying a full kit, keeping it simple using what your happy to work with good to see you out matey ATB Trev 👍
Hi Trev, I hope you have been keeping good mate :) I hope you are keeping high and dry there. I agree, I prefer to make up my own kits. Then at least you can choose what it is you may need. I do the same with some of first aid kits. I was looking to see if you had done a new drone video recently..... but with the weather we have had lately, it would probably end up on top of a mountain. It is great to hear from you Trev :) Have a great week mate... all the best, Mark :)
Mark Bailey hopefully getting out next weekend fingers crossed so I might get some footage if it’s not too windy 👍
I enjoyed this. Good to see you again Mark! Have a great week!
Hi Rich.... great to hear from you mate :) Thanks as always for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark! As always, an insightful video! I have the exact same ruler! It belonged to my grandfather (possibly handed down to him from his father). Now I have a use for it, hehehe. My grandfather always told me, "If you keep something for seven years, you'll find a use for it." It's been a lot longer than seven years! I'm still waiting for the weather to break even just a little here. It's been a miserable winter here in Alaska. Take care, my friend!
Hi Brian, I hope you are keeping well my friend :) I often wonder how you are doing in the winter time. We have had virtually no snow, but most parts of Britain have flooded and more rain forecast for the next 2 weeks. But looking around, you can see the early signs of spring starting, the buds are swelling on some of the willows and birch and the daffodils are just starting. Hopefully summer will be a good one for you brother :) I agree, it me about 20 years to find a use for the rule lol. I looked up boxwood. They must be made from the boxwood bush. I didn't see any trees, they all seemed like shrubs. The older ones if in good condition are quite collectable. Thanks as always.... take care, all the best, Mark :)
Good demo of your kit Mark. Thanks. I am now making spoons often.
Good morning Quinn, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) I'm glad you are enjoying the carving still. I often see you using some of your spoons. I love it as a past time. Especially as it has been so wet this winter. It means you can still do something outside under the tarp and enjoy the fresh air :) Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hola amigo gracias por enseñarme y compartir tu arte, saludos y un gran abrazo desde ARGENTINA 😃
Hi Viviana, many thanks for watching and for your kind words. It is always great to hear from you. Have a nice week, all the best, Mark :)
An insightful walkthrough and nothing beats carving in the woods, especially when it's not gale force winds ;-) The wood tools axe is great value for money, worth mentioning it's Chinese made and simply honed in the UK to a slightly better edge ~Peace~
Hi Zed, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) I agree, I can't wait for the weather to settle down again. All the same it is nice to get out and blow a few cobwebs away lol. Thanks for the info on the wood tools hatchet.... for the money I have been very happy with it. But it doesn't hold it's edge like a Scandinavian made axe. But I suppose that is the price difference. Thanks again Zed...… have a great week ahead my friend. All the best, Mark :)
A nice comprehensive kit there Mark. Enjoyed Video Mark, even the axe😉.
Hi Shane, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment :) It is always great to hear from you Shane :) Have a great week ahead, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark Hope your keeping well mate another great video and great to hear from you
Hi Shaun.... I hope you are keeping well mate. Yes it was good to get out. I have been spending most of the past couple of weeks clearing out ditches to try and run some of the un wanted water away :) So it was nice to be out of waders :) Roll on summer :) Have a great week ahead Shaun... all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark! Thanks for showing your kit brother. You own some very nice tools. I should take a look at Ben's carving knives. They look awesome. Have a great week mate and take care. ATB André
Hi Andre, I hope you are keeping well brother and you have had a nice weekend :) I have left a link to Ben and Lois's website. As well as the tools and knives that he makes, Lois his wife makes some lovely leather and canvas products as well :) Thanks again Andre..... it is always great to hear from you :) Have a great week ahead, all the best, Mark :)
Hi. Great tools, nice to watch working with them. Congrats.
Hi Dirty Hands.... many thnnaks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍. Have a great week, all the best, Mark.
@@markbailey2981 thanks mate!
thanks for the video Mark, stay safe.
Thank you for stopping by Gabi and taking the time to comment :) Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Hello Mark thanks for the great run down pal. I was thinking what I could use for a sheath on the hook knife and now I know 👍.
The beeswax and coconut oil is another brill idea too.
Now I know I enjoy carving I’ll look into purchasing better quality knives now.
Hope you have a great week like I say Mark, cheers for the upload mate.
Hi Ant, many thanks for stopping by mate :) Sorry for the late reply I have been working away. Yes the leather wraps are great for the hook knives. I made a complicated sheath for my first couple of hook knives, but then saw how ben's came and it is a simple and cheap idea. Once they get cut and ready for the bin, I thought about trying an old chamois leather and doing the same :) Thanks again Ant.... take care mate, all the best, Mark :)
Great set of tools there Mark!
Good morning Andy.... I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I will be in touch once some decent weather is forecast and we will have to have that meet up :) Take care mate, all the best, Mark :)
That Robin woods axe is nice. I've used one a few times. My cousin went to get his a while back when we were going down on the river to set up some Kingfisher perches and he had a handful of chips out of the edge 🤨. Turned out his daughters boyfriend had been chopping pallets for firewood 😃 n made right mess . Not a happy chap 😉. Some lovely tools and carving kit there Mark. Think you're covered for most projects there. I have a nice scooped huge chisel too which is nice for a Kuksa etc like you say. I've been meaning to carve a new Kuksa for a bit. Not enough hrs or days in the week is there. Need to work 2 and have 5 off 🙂. Me and my lad sent an application form in for the next series of Hunted . That would be a laugh if we got accepted. You going to the Bushcraft show this year ? Cheers Mark, a great informative film and theres not much better than a few hours carving in the forest
Hi Rick. I hope you are well mate :) Glad to be back home, but wish you were still on holiday :) LOL, I have half a dozen axes with like your cousins at work. It does my head in. I make sure they are all sharp and ready to be used. Then when I go to get one from the workshop, they are all chipped or rolled. I've stopped lending them out now lol. Yeah pellets are a nightmare. I'm guilty of it my self. You hit a nail and my heart sinks...… you know it's a 30 minuet job working the chips back out lol ;( Ay that would be cracking if you got on the show. My brother watches it quite a lot. I don't tend to see much telly. But if you got on I would plug it back in. Yeah I should be at the Bushcraft show. I understand there are a couple. I will be defiantly going to the one in Derbyshire again in May. The Edale show is a bit later, so I will have to try and get the time of from work. But hopefully I will go to both of them :) Thanks again Rick..... enjoy the rest of the week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Nice to see you out and about as always mate. Nice relaxing informative video. Hope this horrible weather picks up soon for us all. On a plus side it's nice and quiet out in the countryside in this weather
All the best mate
Dave
Hi Dave, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate :) Yeah this weather is still all over the place. I have just got home from a drive over to the fishery in Wales, and all the way the new leaves and blossom looks like it is making an appearance. So fingers crossed once this wind and rain dies down things should look and feel a lot nicer :) Thanks as always for watching and for the comment Dave. It is always great to hear from you mate. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 had a great weekend down south mate just back up north and its freezing lol glad to be back in my own bed though. Hope your well mate.
All the best Dave
@@MrRealdealdd I'm glad you had a nice time Dave :) I went over to wales and it was the same old wind, sleet and rain lol. I start back work on Friday, so hopefully it will change. Saying that there is plenty of blossom and leaves staring to show, so once the sun eventually appears it should seem like early spring. Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Cracking film Mark. I'm definitely getting more confident with my carving. The mushrooms go down a treat as a gift. Started to freestyle a little too 😂😂😂. Buzz has a Silver Birch that has come down in his garden. He is processing 2 blocks so we can attempt a wooden cup/Kuksa. Not sure my fingers can cope with anymore chunks out of them 🤓. Thanks for sharing Mark. Cheers and stay safe Sel
Hi Sel, I hope you have had a good day mate :) Many thanks for stopping by as always, it is always nice to hear from you :) You will have to film your Kuksa carving..... it would be nice to see how you get on with it :) LOL, freestyling.... love it :) That's the beauty about anything like this, you make things how you want them :) Thanks again Sel.... take care mate, all the best, Mark :)
Mark Bailey thanks for that. As my Mrs said, Free-styling is a good way of saying it doesn't look like it should do, but your proud of it and it works 😂. We are going to film them. I'm a bit nervous but what the hell 👍. As always thanks for the encouragement
@@buzzandselunsupervised649 I will look forward to seeing how you do them. I'm sure they will turn out fine :) Have a great day Sel...… it looks like a bit of snow has arrived here :)
is was neat to see you working. New friend Ruthie
Hi Ruthie, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It is great to hear from you :) I hope you have had a nice weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Another quality upload brother, Whilst out in the Wilds we all wittle but we dont all wittle well.
Hi brother, I hope you are keeping well and had a great weekend :) I find with most skills, if you leave them for a while then you soon get rusty or forget how you did things the time before. But I like the enjoyment of it. There is something soothing about cutting into wood with a sharp knife. The piece may end up looking different than how I imagined, but for me it's more about the enjoyment. The more you do the more the skills progress :) Thanks as always for taking the time brother.... it is always great to hear from you :) All the best, Mark :)
Great information to have. Thanks a lot Mark.
Your very welcome octopus9611...… Thank you for watching and taking the time to o comment :) It is always great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
Loved it Mark 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you Michael :)
It is always great to hear from you my friend. Sorry for the late reply, I have just got back from working away. Have a great week..... all the very best, Mark :)
You’re most welcome Mark.
Hope you n yours have a good week too.
Awesome mark .. great kit you have .. might try a spoon .. cheers buddy , have a good week cheers Chris & Sam
Hi Chris & Sam, many thanks for watching :) you should come down to the Bushcraft show in May. It's only 40 minuets from Stoke and there are loads of things to try and look at.... but more importantly to buy lol. I could see Bertha kitted out with a rack of hand carved spoons and cups :) Thanks for taking the time guys..... I hope you have a great week too, all the best, Mark :)
Mark Bailey cheers mark , we will see about bushcraft show in may it’s sounds good .. we were out every weekend last year .. but thinking of havin a few week ends off and go night fishing lol , but it early days yet to sort the year out .. cheers Chris & Sam
Excellent video very good explained ! Nice set of tools i know what i need now! thanks.
Hi Robert, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as always :) Have a great week ahead mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark, Just been catching up on your last few videos, luckily I've spent the last five weeks in south-east Spain and the weather was, well lets just say a tad calmer than here LOL. But it's great to be back in the UK and catch up. Never been to Rudyard Lake Mark, it looks stunning. Great videos mate as ever. Look forward to your next one. Cheers Mel Clarke
Hi Mel... I hope you have been keeping well mate :) I hope you had a nice time in Spain :) I could do with five weeks in the sun. I have just spent the last three weeks standing in waterlogged ditches clearing them out to get rid of excess water lol. I think they have forecast a bit of snow for tonight, so welcome home lol. Rudyard is a lovely lake to walk around. If it is not too far from you, it is certainly worth a look. Hopefully I have got some permission to use a new wood. I have been doing some voluntary work for his charity and I mentioned I was looking for some new woods to use and camp in, and it turns out he bought one a few years ago. So hopefully when the weather picks up, I will go and check it out :) Thanks again Mel.... take care, all the best, Mark :)
Great video Mark, I don't carve enough to warrant paying for the high end tools. But I do like Ben Orfords knives. Thanks for sharing mate, take care 👍
Good morning Andy, I hope you are keeping well mate :) I agree Ben makes some quality tools. I was recently looking at the company in Scotland that makes a lot of carving tools and knives. They are called Crowsfoot Sgian Dubh. They seem to be a similar price to Bens tools, but they seem to make some top quality folders and other knives too. I might have to treat myself once the season gets underway at work :) Thanks for taking the time Andy..... have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Great vid. Ben’s gear is out of stock still nice you recommended it years ago.
Hi adhart81, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Typical he is out of stock. He tends to make things in batches and puts them on line or you can place an order with him. I hope he's not out of stock for the Bushcraft show. I was looking forward to seeing what he had that was new. Thanks again, all the best, Mark :)
Another great video and review. Thumb up bro.
Thank you brother :) It is always great to hear from you :) Have a great week ahead.... all the very best, Mark :)
Thanks Mark, another informative video I have a couple of the mora carving knives unfortunately haven’t got round to using them yet. Must have a go when it warms and drys up a bit
Regards Dave
Hi Dave, I hope you have been keeping well mate and not been to affected by the storms. Hopefully we will have a nice summer this year and you will have to try your knives out :) Carving is a great pastime, especially when the sun is on your back and there is a steaming mug of tea by the side :) Have a great week ahead Dave..... all the best, Mark :)
Hello Mark If I buy a knife for carving I will be cursed again and will go mad and end up bleeding shed loads of them that I wont have time to use LOL. As my wife says I have far too many hobbies already, she may have a point. Thanks for the informative video Mark looks like you bugged out just in time for the next storm 👍
Hi Matt, I hope you are keeping well mate. I know what you mean, it is too easy to get carried away when it comes to buying gear. I will be glad when we can start to get out again and get some use of it. The weather here has been non stop sun since the lock down started. Thanks for taking the time Matt it is always great to hear from you. I've just had a notification of your latest video. I will watch that after my tea 👍. Take care mate, all the best, Mark 😀.
Thanks for the video Mark. Always insightful. I fancy trying a bit of carving myself. Glad to see you back. Missed you.
Take care pal.
Hi Scott, I hope you have been keeping well mate :) It is good to be back out. I have spent the last couple of weeks clearing out ditches and repairing storm damage. It is a non stop game trying to rid some of the unwanted water. Roll on summer lol. Thanks again Scott.... have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
nice kit Mark, I'm very much a novice carver just the usual tarp pegs and basic spoons and spatulas I've always used the Mora 106 and 120 and a husqvarna hatchet i reprofiled but stupidly left my 106 on a tree stump a while ago I'm going to order a new sloyd knife from Crowsfoot Sgian Dubh in the borders looks like they make some lovely little knives. atb Colin.
Hi Colin, I hope you are keeping well mate and not been hampered too much by the weather :) There is a bit of snow here today...…. get ready for the delays lol. I know the feeling of leaving tools on tree stumps. That was one of the reasons I why I went for the orange tool roll, so it can easily be seen when packing away. Crowsfoot look like make some awesome looking knives. They seem well priced as well. There sloyd knives look amazing, as do their friction folders :) I like the Ash handled sloyd knife that they make. I return back to work in a week or two for another manic season.... so I may have to treat myself at some point :) Thanks for taking the time Colin.... it is always great to hear from you... all the best, Mark :)
Thanks for sharing what tools you use I need to sharpen my hatchet but can't do it properly I need a lot more practice 😁👍
Hi Carl.... I hope you have been keeping well mate :) There are some great step by step videos on axe sharpening on You Tube. It is one of those things, once you have done it a few times, it becomes second nature. I know what you mean though. The first few times, you worry that you might bugger it up and make it worse ;) One of the best videos I have seen was Ben Orfords axe and tool sharpening videos. It is very easy to follow and the way which he shows leaves them razor sharp. I hope you have a great week mate :) Take care, all the best, Mark :)
Excellent my friend! I’m becoming more and more interested at putting together a very basic woodcarving kit, and this vid actually addressed a couple of questions I had. As a beginner, I’ll likely just pick up some inexpensive Mora knives to start out with. Seems like the perfect retirement past time lol. I hope you’re well and eventually the sun comes back out for ya. All the best Mark!
Hi Brian, I hope you have been keeping well my friend :) Woodcarving is a great pastime. The hours soon fly by.... and hopefully by the end you have something useful. If not at least the time was spent relaxing and honing a few skills. Mora knives are a good buy. They are probably a similar price to what we pay over here. Yes I wish I could talk about having carving as a hobby for my retirement. I don't think wood will exist then lol. The government keeps upping our retirement age. I should of retired at 65 with our state pension.... but now it is 68, and I have heard that they are thinking of making it 70 years old before we can finish working. I'm burnt out now with aces and pains all over lol. Thanks as always Brian for stopping by. It is always great to hear from you. All the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark, it would seem that you have everything covered although I did expect to see a bit of abrasive paper but seeing as my carving prowess is limited to tent pegs I wouldn't know if it was needed or not. I enjoyed the video, I'm a big fan of seeing what other people use and carry. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.
Hi Wol, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yes I should of put some sand paper in the video, but my age and memory got in the way lol. There are two schools of thought behind using it. Some will leave the work to dry a little, then very finely go over the piece again to remove dirt marks and tidy things up with a knife, and other sand them to get a nice smooth finish. You should put a small kit together. It is a nice way to spend the day whilst the weather is chucking down :) Thanks as always for taking the time to comment Wol….. it is always great to hear from you mate, all the best, Mark :)
