Thanks Brendan. I'm fine. It's with my hands I had trouble since before Christmas. They are slowly coming around. Some nerve damage and over use. I had to take a new job and don't have much time to spare. I hope to get back to doing some videos real soon
Amazing Kevin! Always enjoy watching your videos. Hoping all is well and looking forward to any new videos you may have. From myself and the children here in Ireland ☘️
So very glad to see a new video from you Kevin! Your carving and carvings are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure everyone! I hope all is well on the east coast.
@@ubaldoperrone9958 Hi Don, I wondered how you were. The last time I spoke to you were sick. Hope you got on ok. My address: Kevin Coates PO Box 178 Winterton,nl Canada A0B 3M0 Thank you very much
Welcome back Kevin. As usual, another great whittle. I love the eyes on these Santas. That was a big chunk of wood but you always make it look so easy. There will definitely be a couple of these for friends this year, thank you for the inspiration.
Kevin, it is a great satisfaction to see your work, and even greater joy to see that the fisherman's knife is still in use. receive a big hug from a distance, Merry Christmas
love seeing the master at work, I have been heavily influenced by seeing you carvings in my house and all around homes in Newfoundland .Its so cool to watch the process and learn new tricks.
Complimenti per gli intagli stupendi che fai, ma anche sentire il rumore del coltello che intaglia il legno, è una sensazione straordinaria. Sei stato la prima persona che ho visto intagliare il legno, e da subito mi hai trasmesso la voglia di intagliare. Grazie 😊
Oh my gosh welcome back! Beautiful santas can't wait to get home and watch all the video. My wife has been showing me your work on Instagram. Still amazing.
Hi Kevin, wonderful carving & wonderful to watch you carve. What size of gouge did you use in this carving? All your carvings bring me right into the image you are carving & makes me feel I can have a conversation with each character. That is truly the sign of a master carver. You are indeed a master at your art. Thank you.
Hey Don. With my day to day carving I always use a piece of wood to hold the carving against. I will do it with my videos once I get a better setup. It takes a lot of strain off your hands and gives you better control with the knife
Mr. Kevin I pray that you are doing well and in good health. We miss you on UA-cam.

I like the santa! Really enjoyed the video, especially fascinated by how you create more surface area for the forehead and eyes with each cut! Thanks!

Welcome back Kevin! Excellent video.
Thank you Bob
Excellent as usual! Greetings from Germany 🎅👋
Thank you August
Absolutely brilliant. Carvers I follow keep mentioning your name. Finally followed you up and have subscribed.
Thank you John
I really enjoy watching you carve. The way you position the camera and your hands makes your carving extremely to follow. What wood are you using?
Thank you. I carve white pine
Great carvings. What wood is it?
Welcome back kevin!! You were missed 🎉
Thanks Alex
Great carving
Thanks Tom
Mr. Coates enjoy watching your videos. What brand carving knife do you use? Also where did you get the fish knife? Thank you so much. Scott
I have 3 OCC knives that I really like. The fish knife I had from my teenage years when I worked in the cod fishery. Thank you
@@KevinCoates98 Thank you so much. Just ordered an OCC whittling knife 1 1/2 inch.
Hello kevin are u gonna make a new video soon? Could you try and carve a miner that is 6 inch tall with a headlamp and a lantern? That would be cool
Fish knife!!
My trusted old fish knife
Super cool !
Thank you
It’s magic!!!
Thank you
You have been missed!
Thank you
I know you get this all the time, but, what kind of knife was this originally?
🐟 Fish knife!
Fish knife is correct
Продолжайте это делать. Мы учимся по этим видеоурокам! Спасибо большое! Привет из России ❤❤🇷🇺
Thank you
Hey Kevin Don here I wanted to ask you about your carving station. Do you have a block screwed to your work surface to push against?
Hey Don. With my day to day carving I always use a piece of wood to hold the carving against. I will do it with my videos once I get a better setup. It takes a lot of strain off your hands and gives you better control with the knife
