Searching for the proper word for your carving videos, I came up “approachable”. Enough details to make it interesting, but basic enough fir us newer carvers to take on without fear. Keep’em coming. God bless.
Doug I've told you before but man... you are such an inspiration. Your gnomes and monster guys are fantastic. I especially love the extra touches like a pickle on a stick and the ducky on a leash! Totally whimsical! These guys should have their own cartoon series!
Doug, I'm not a carver/ whittler, but I enjoy your video's so much. There's just something about an artesian/maker work that has such a calming effect on me. Thank you for for the bushcraft vids as well, especially the ones with "young Joseph". They end up being hilarious.
Just watched the video start to finish on my tablet and first thank you! My gosh I’m going to be having some fun with this guy. 😂 Cracked me up!! And I needed something like it to get my mind away from all the crazy.
This Bigfoot was really good fun to make, with so many of your own to copy for style and colour I'm sure I'll make several. Thanks for another super video Doug.
I love your tutorials Doug! Just started carving and lots of practice to do and your tutorials keep me going cause there are so many things I want to do or do again to improve my skills. Now I want to have a go on this guy to.
Really cool Doug, just finishing your owls for my granddaughter, better add a few of these in the mix, she will love them! Package it all up with your lie detector sticks and grandpas pretty special thanks to you. Love all your content, from the search for adventure, bushcraft, canoe trips, to the whimsical carvings, many thanks.
I browsed a lot of your videos while waiting on my wood and tools to arrive. This is the one I looked forward to the most. It took a lot of self-discipline to practice on an easier one first, LOL. I'm kind of a bigfoot fanatic and it turned out great. Thanks for the instruction, sir.
For any new carvers that think you need the rarer than Big Foot Helvie or Drake knives, look at that chip removal with a $25 OCC. Its stropped properly and in the hands of a carver that has done this hundreds of times.
Doug thank you for showing us new carvers that you don't need to have a Helvie Knife to try to carve. Have some OCC and they work just fine for what I'm doing. Would love to try a Helvie. But at this time to hard to get .
Glad to see you did these Doug. I've been waiting although all we had to do was make a person and v tool hair instead of clothes. Keep up the good work!
Love it doug. Thanks for doing a samsquanch. Cant wait till you get out in the bush. Would love to see you carve green birch/poplar/spruce that's pretty well all I've got up here. That basswood makes it look like butter
Doug don't under estimate your teaching your doing a great job. Also you need to put a coffee cup in the hand .Because of your videos I got back in to carving. I'll soon be 71 keep up the carving!
Hello from Germany, I love all your carvings and I love carving since I learned it from Sharon my Art. I've been carving for 5 years now and following all of your films. Thanks for your many great tips, Doug. And by the way, I think your beard looks really great.
These are so fun, Doug! I appreciate the tutorial and the chuckles. Now I may not get as much yard work done this weekend though. Can’t wait to see what creature ends up on my desk! Thanks again.
what a pleasant channel to stumble upon!!! I’ve even working with clay for a bit for pins but I think trying out whittling might be a fun change up! totally love your work:D
I'm brand new to carving but have been learning with your videos. Already made 2 of the dowel snowmen. I'm wondering how easy it would be to combine this arm/hand design but put it on the little snowman with the jacket from a while ago? I'd love to make the snowman holding a little shovel as a gift for someone, but I'm not quite sure how to adapt the design since I'm still too new.

Good choice Kevin, "Approachable"
The cyclops with pickle is amazing!!

Hi from the UK... The completed elves house, looks absolutely magical. You are so good at carving, Doug.
The Gnomes will get very upset at being called elves.
Doug, I'm not a carver/ whittler, but I enjoy your video's so much. There's just something about an artesian/maker work that has such a calming effect on me. Thank you for for the bushcraft vids as well, especially the ones with "young Joseph". They end up being hilarious.
Following watching several of you tutorials at the age of 64 I have now taken up carving. Many thanks for spending the time to make these videos.
Just watched the video start to finish on my tablet and first thank you! My gosh I’m going to be having some fun with this guy. 😂 Cracked me up!! And I needed something like it to get my mind away from all the crazy.
Greetings from the UK great tutorial Doug thanks for sharing
My favorite is the one showing his teeth! haha hilarious! Great video Doug!!
This Bigfoot was really good fun to make, with so many of your own to copy for style and colour I'm sure I'll make several. Thanks for another super video Doug.
You are the best teacher I have ever watched! Thank you!!

I love these guys. Can’t wait to try it
I love your tutorials Doug! Just started carving and lots of practice to do and your tutorials keep me going cause there are so many things I want to do or do again to improve my skills. Now I want to have a go on this guy to.

the cyclops is so cute! I'm giving that one a go!!
Love your imagination and skills.

Always a joy spending time with your videos. I am a wannabe carver. I bought all the tools, but they forgot to include the skills.
Yay! Finally.. Sasquatch! Shouldn’t he be holding beef jerky?? Lol
It's a samsquamch
Love the variations!
Outstanding as usual!
I love the noise that makes when you cut it
These are so beautiful! (Flower with a little smiley face on it made my day) Thank you for your wonderful tutorials!
You have a crazy but cool imagination. These will be fun to try and make as I learn to carve Thank you Doug. Jim's wood shop
great video Dough, very clear and informative, you guy could be a great teacher.
Doug ..your ideas are the best .. your imagination in creating far surpasses any ideas I have ..you are the best buddy
Thanks Gene! But let’s be honest here, you’ve made thousands of ideas come to life compared to my handful 👍👊
There’s absolutely no reason for this podcast to ever get a down vote.
Well done Doug! 👍😁
Doug thank you for showing us new carvers that you don't need to have a Helvie Knife to try to carve. Have some OCC and they work just fine for what I'm doing. Would love to try a Helvie. But at this time to hard to get .

Thank you for all what you share for us plz mention for basic sizes for knives and gauges that every one should have in his bench .

@@dougLinker may i ask if you recommend diamonds whetstone for sharpening knives ?
These are so fun, Doug! I appreciate the tutorial and the chuckles. Now I may not get as much yard work done this weekend though. Can’t wait to see what creature ends up on my desk! Thanks again.
Missed you Dougster, great video, it’s always a great journey with y’all Canadians.✌️😇🌲🪵🦫🌲
Inside elbow is ‘the crook of the arm’... great work as ever x
I said “crook” out loud like he could hear me. Made me laugh.
I came to the comments looking for this. Thank you
I thought “inside elbow” was good enough though my brain wanted more 😊
Thanks Doug, love the simplicity you add to carving,from Glenn in Peterborough Canada
Doug another great little project. Thanks I’ll get the coffee’s in
The "Bob Ross" of woodcarving. 👍🏻

Thank You Doug!
Thank you so much for your sharing of this art. I appreciate it a lot
The inside of your elbow is called the "medial epicondyle of the humerus " 😇🤯🤯
Cool video! Time for you to get out and do some fishing! Lol
Ha my first thought was Doug has carved the BLOB OPERA. Thanks for the tutorial.
Another fun and great learning video Doug! Would be cool to see a video tour of your workspace.
Beautiful wood carving. Linker is very talented. But I’m a weekend neophyte and he left me behind some time ago.
Hey Doug, so thankful that I found your channel. I reckon you gave me the carving bug. Tim in UK
what a pleasant channel to stumble upon!!! I’ve even working with clay for a bit for pins but I think trying out whittling might be a fun change up! totally love your work:D

Awesome!
Where do we get the wood you use in bulk. I am outside US and what to ship a good amount to practice. You are amazing btw
Nice pencil Doug! I got to get me one of those they are ingenious!
Thanks again doug. I hope I can do one like urs. The babies would love it
Outstanding video!! Your the number one carver I watch. Could you say what kind of V tool you used at the end and what size? Thanks
Amazing talent you have for many crafty things. :-).
