Thank you for video. You have helped me improve tremendously on my wizards
Thank you. I'm so glad the videos helped! 👍✌️
Brilliant

Dang nice job I struggle carving them I’m improving Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 👍🇮🇹🐾🦊
Thanks John - they are fun little projects!
Very informative video. One thing I would recommend, is after making a cut sequence, hold the figure steady (and focused) for a second or two so the viewer can get a good look at what you just finished. You are constantly twisting and turning the figure so much it's difficult to get a real good view of your handwork. In the past I've made a few of these for my grandkids, but after watching your video I picked up a couple details to speed up my carving time. Thanks!
Thank you for the helpful suggestion. I will definitely keep it in mind for my next video. 👍✌️
Very nice project, Thank you for sharing.
Thanks my friend!!!👍✌️
I am trying to get into this hobby more. Your vids inspire me, thanks. As far as knives to use, it seems to me that a pocket knife, like the one you used, could be enough. I realize here are many out there, like Beavercraft, etc. (specialty knives) Any suggestions? Thanks
Thank you Steven! You can certainly use a pocket knife for whittling, keep in mind you will most likely have to remove the factory bevel as they are normally to steep. Some type of stone will be needed to grind down the bevel and flatten it out. You can also use a Stanley 199 utility knife, I have a few video's with the 199, but it also requires some prep work to get it carving sharp.
To be honest, I would recommend starting with a good quality whittling knife that comes ready to go. I like the knives by North Bay Forge (www.northbayforge.com/sn.htm). Their medium size straight knife is a great all rounder. OCC make great knives as well (occtools.com/) - I own a few.
Pick up a good quality whittling/carving knife, some green compound and hard leather for stropping, some northern basswood and you will be ready to go. Heinecke Wood has always been a good source for quality basswood (heineckewood.com/). You can also pick up some clean straight pine 1x at the local big box store (I use it in a couple video's).
Eventually you will need a decent stone to reshape/repair a knife. I use a double side diamond stone and some ceramic stones (but these can get pricey). The other "cheaper" option is various grades of wet/dry sandpaper.
If you have any other questions let me know. 👍✌

Super advive, Thanks so much! Gonna work on it soon
I love having a pocket knife in my pocket and I love the old school pocket knives!! Is that a Utica Knife?
Same here, I have been carrying one around for years! The knife is a Rough Rider. 👍✌
Love these wizards. Looks like the pine carved pretty well. Is that the white pine as opposed to yellow pine?
Hi Stephen. It is pine from the big box store, my guess it is yellow pine - definitely not white pine.👍✌
@@WhittlingWoods Our store carries the yellow pine but also spruce/fir. I see some labeled whitewood, but that may be tulip poplar. Maybe I'm getting white pine confused with whitewood. Anyway, I wasn't sure how different they were when it comes to carving. I have carved poplar and it's decent to carve, but like basswood better.
@@fouroakscrafts7240 You know the more I think about it, the wood may be an eastern white pine or sugar pine - it is definitely "softer" than basswood. The Janka rating for basswood is around 410 and Eastern White Pine/Sugar Pine is 380. Poplar is harder from my experience, but I agree basswood is still the best for figure carving.
What is the model of your rough ryder...and did you modify the blade ??? Thank you for the video...love your work.
Hi Roberto, I purchased the knife many years ago - it may be an older version of the RR Stockman. The main modification of the blade was to reduce/remove the factory bevel.👍✌
I am very interested in whittling with pocket knife. You mentioned at the very beginning of this video that you slightly modified the pocket knife, to make it more appropriate for whittling. Can you be more specific what did you modify?
I typically grind the bevel a bit flatter than most pocket knives ship with from the manufacturer. I did a video on my method of sharpening knives which included a segment on pocket knives ( ua-cam.com/video/ClDyNUdi-54/v-deo.html ). Thank you! 👍✌
Thank you very much for your answer. I love your videos. They are so educational and calmig👌
@@MrTrinkus Thank you very much!!! 👍✌
What kinda paint for these examples on this video?? Looks kinda white washed, with some grain showing through... I like it.. 👍🙏✌️
I use watered down craft acrylics. Here is a video I did on the subject if you are interested ( ua-cam.com/video/vBSErTUVuUI/v-deo.html ). Thank you! 👍✌
Love these carves. I glue a magnet on the back and attach them to poles and bus stops around town. Give someone a good day I hope. Thanks
Hey Tom! That's a great idea - I am always up for giving someone a good day !!! Thanks. 👍✌
Can you use a 1 by 1
You sure can, and it would allow for some "deeper" detail.
Stupid question . R u buying like standard 2x4 from a store and cutting it down ??
Not a stupid question at all. The wood used here is a 1x piece of pine from one of the big box stores. Around here 2x4's are made from Douglas Fir which is a bear to whittle. 👍✌
what is the serial number of the knife?
Some also asked recently. The one in the video is about 16 years old, no serial number on the knife, but the order receipt has RR599. 👍✌️
That knife is sharp..
Yes it is! Thanks. 👍✌️
Great tutorial as always. This was a good one to try out one of my new North Bay knives.They are nice however not really a straight blade all the way. They got a little bit of a bevel both sides, kind of like a pocket knife. Will take a little to get use to when carving. What to do i know I'm still learning. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Kevin!!! I hope the new knives work out - always fun trying out a new tool. The great thing about whittling is even reducing the size of a block of wood can be cathartic 👍✌
I love the 10 minute Tuesday! Thank you!
Thank you Lori. Much appreciated! I am going to try starting back up again.👍✌
