    I swear, Andy - I've learned more by watching you than I have from any other spoon carver. Just by WATCHING you, and listening to your commentary.

    Thanks for the video Andy, each time I watch one of your video tutorials I feel more confident in my ability to go out and use my toolset, knowing I kinda know where I'm going and also knowing where the safety checks are and some of the mistakes I could make. Very informative, relaxing format. Though your bearded head is nice to look at, I like to look at your experienced hands mastering every part of your craft ! So I don't mind close-up views.
    Greetings from France.
    Ps: I've received some nice Beelzeboo Crafts tools, any video on handling such tools filmed already? I struggle with handles design...

      Hey bud, good to hear from you! I put all of the tools in the description of my videos, so you know for future reference. This is a Fadir Tools 860g carving axe 🙂

      Thank you so much for saying so. I have a lot of fond memories driving Ottawa to North Bay, I'm guessing Deep River is on that route? Beautiful part of the world 👌

    Hi Andy. Could you use the axe in any way to break the fibres for the spoon bowl?
    This is a really good tutorial. Thank you 😊

    • @andyspoons
      @andyspoons  6 місяців тому

      Absolutely! The toe or the heel of the axe is great to break up the fibres 🙂

    Great video. Where did you get the Deer Forge axe from? Tried searching for them on the net to no avail. Thanks, L.

    • @andyspoons
      @andyspoons  29 днів тому

      This axe is from Fadir Tools, the 860g carving axe. You can often find them over at "The Woodtamer" (google for the site) ✌️

    Did you by any chance carve the handle of the adze yourself? Would a bathroom be a good place to store a half finished product? It's humid and the material would not dry out so fast...

    • @andyspoons
      @andyspoons  9 місяців тому

      I did! This was from some scrap Hickory. I recommend either wrapping in plastic and freezing, or soaking 👌

    Great video Andy really enjoyed that in depth process of yours, the way that you went into detail about the way you use your axe was awesome for beginners and anyone who may be finding different or methods to benefit their carving, well done!!

      Hi there! The first few spoons can take days, don't be discouraged! If you can get your hands on some poplar, it is a much more forgiving timber to work with than maple. At the end of the day, nothing replaces time 🙂👌

    • @andyspoons
      @andyspoons  Рік тому

      A good question! A sharpie and sandpaper (800-2k) on a flat piece of MDF. You only want to sharpen the outside of a Mora hook, and then just strop away the burr on the inside. Time and a lot of patience! I hope this helps 🙂

    I'm really intrigued by how some Ukrainian forgeries work, because they share the exact same designs to the blade guards. Is it the same group of people who own different brands? Do they hire the same forgery? No criticism at all. I'll support Ukrainian forgeries any time and I love my strongway tools axe and I sure will buy from them again. Just curious.

    • @andyspoons
      @andyspoons  7 місяців тому +1

      I don't know the exact specifics of design and forges, but I know that there have definitely been a few forges that have split into separate "satellite" companies, which might explain some of the design similarities?
