'Hope to see you again spoon' **video ends** That felt equivalent to a mic drop 😂 Eva is a wonderful little dog, it's nice to see her be filled with the simplistic doggy joy 😊
The Plaque which was missing at the Portuguese Fireplace read as follows: This is the site of a hutted camp occupied by a Portuguese army unit during the first world war. This unit assisted the depleted local labour force in producing timber for the war effort. The forestry commission have retained this fireplace from the cookhouse as a memorial to the men who lived and worked here and acknowledge the financial assistance of the Portuguese government in its renovation.
What a lovely, happy little dog Eva is. I'm not particularly fond of dogs, as I'm extremely allergic to their fur, but I'm always pleased to see Eva on your videos. She's a real character, and always puts a smile on my face. Thank you. Your spoon carving, reminded me of being a kid, and watching one of the shows about traditional and country crafts, presented by the great Jack Hargreaves.
I watched Eva digging, with tears in my eyes. Although there are heaps of places where she can, my little Foxy will never do that. She only has three legs and her balance prevents her doing so many things other dogs can. (an abused rescue) She listened to Eva's excitement and was wagging her tail the whole time. Thank you for the reminder of how lovely the beach is for dogs. (my little girl is currently not allowed on sand as a spinal issue, related to the loss of her leg, prevents such excursions until she is fully healed - almost 18 months so far) Hoping that by our Spring (NZ) she can do 'normal' again.
I'm fairly sure that in Sweden we used to carve our wooden clogs out of Lind(en) since its so sturdy and yet easy to work with. Great job on that spoon, very inspiring.
I, for one, look forward to seeing the rest of the process. I hope it's spoon. I hate long waits. Also, thanks for sharing Eva with us. I can't have a dog but I love watching you two interact. My favorite part was "You lost it" and the look she gave you was " It is NOT lost, just misplaced"
I like the phrase "cut away everything from the spoon that's not a spoon", I do a few wood carvings and I think that's the best way to describe what I do. Great video as always.
As a Portuguese man myself I am grateful for my fellow countrymen and all the ones long gone who had taken part in the war effort. The Great war that is, the Portuguese Fireplace marked the spot of a timber felling camp during WW1. Lest we forget the sacrifice of our soldiers long gone.
Atomic Shrimp, your vids have the appeal that Erwin Saunders has. Erwin sits in the woods for hours waiting to spot fairies. I believe he does, for some moments in each film though others, who don't know magic when they see it, say it is animations. Yours and his vids are just straight human communication without big ego and very soothing and refreshing to watch. Thank you !
I'm loving these random bits videos. Eva is digging and it sounds like she's saying; I'm ready, throw it, throw it now. And the spoon carving was pure inspiration. Too bad I'm rubbish at carving wood. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Mr Michael Shrimp! I'd like to thank you, because you introduced me to carving. I remember you had a video up years ago about a spoon carving and that got my curiosity up. Fast forward today I've been carving for about 2 years now, and have made at least 3 dozen spoons, sold some and gifted away some. I've also been carving small figures, toys, got into whittling, and even made a kuksa. Carving has been a godsend for me as i live in an abusive household and having something relaxing that just takes me far away is priceless. And it's all thanks to you! So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for changing my life and introduce me something that i absolute adore. If we ever meet, ales on me! Ps: t is ironic me recommending a tool to my muse, but i think you'll love it. For carving the depressions, try the flexcut kn26. I started out with those terrible half circle gouges and it's been a pain. But ever since I got the kn26 it's been smooth sailing and it's a quality tool.
It's Roald Dahl's unwritten story: Mike and the Giant Spoon! It could be interesting to see Babatunde (or a local woodsmith) make a similar item...I would watch the video!
that was the best way i have ever heard spoon carving be described (not that it had much competition). great video as always, made my day a bit brighter
I'm amazed by the dedication and purpose you demonstrate in the art of spoon-carving. I feel you'd find it much easier with a really good quality hatchet like the Estwing that I own. It's much lighter, beautifully balanced and the head of the axe is much thinner. This makes it much easier to use, easier to control, and more effective in cutting off long strips without sticking. I hope you get the opportunity to use or own one. Mine is one of my prized possessions. Here in rural Tasmania, that pile of logs would disappear in about 5 minutes, as nearly all of us depend on wood heaters during the winter. The shavings from the spoon project would be carefully swept up and kept for tinder, too!
I do intend to invest in a better hatchet at some point, as axe carving is a thing I keep coming back to. I think there's something in the nature of my general approach where, at the start, I have to try things with the most commonly available offerings - whether that's tools, or ingredients, or software, etc.
I've only ever seen wooden spoons like this and bigger for cooking very large pots of food 🤔 now I am wondering what you would use it for. It seems the kind of thing that should be used to cook outside in a giant cast iron pot over a fire 😂😂 maybe a Portuguese recipe in honour of the fireplace
Lovely video as always. I love seeing little Eva having fun. Your spoon is very much like the ones my Hispanic family uses when preparing the ground maize thickened drink known as Atole. It's traditionally made in deep pots during the cold season and the wooden spoon is perfect for stirring the dense drink as it cooks and acts as a ladle when it's finished cooking. See you spoon!
Back in the 90s we had an enormous eucalyptus tree in our back yard fall down. Our house was downhill from the tree, but the weird thing was that it fell perpendicular to the hill, completely missing the house. It was so tall it fell across three neighbour's back yards, but thankfully it only took down the fences, not coming anywhere near any buildings. My dad just borrowed a chainsaw and cut it up into logs. We kept quite a bit of it for BBQ wood (no need for wood fire heating here in Australia), which lasted many years. The rest was given away. Excellent work. Of course, I refer to the pun at the end. I'll reserve judgement of the spoon for later.
Feeling a bit sad, I have now caught up with all your videos. I really enjoyed binge watching a few of your videos at a time, especially during lock down and then after I had a busy day. Therefore watching this video is a bit bitter sweet.
My partner and I walk the trail next to that Portuguese fireplace quite frequently and had been wondering what it was. Very pleasantly surprised to learn about from this video!
The fireplace is really interesting. Not too far from me in Louisiana there's a number of old structures left over from the war that served as training facilities, and you will randomly stumble across them as you make your way through the woods in the most unexpected places. That area also provided quite a bit of the timber used for the war effort. Unfortunately they cut down whatever was left of the old growth longleaf pine during that time, and it was later replaced with loblolly and other pine species. However, the forest service is doing an admirable job of restoring it to longleaf, and I hope that by the end of my lifetime I get to see stands of longleaf over 30" in diameter like the old growth would have been.
Hey I'm going to Brockenhurst tomorrow! I'll have a look if it's nearby. I enjoyed the spoon carving, I think the one I made was from lime too. Nice to carve. Started with a small axe too, it was surprisingly effective and less clumsy than I thought.
it reminds me of ruins we have in california of old mining towns, where the only thing that wont eventually rot is the fireplace and chimney, so you'll just see little chimney stacks standing by them selves amongst some yucca trees in the desert as you pass along the highway
Tilia, teille, tei, Linden a lightweight hardwood, used for shields and altar pieces. Excellent for grilles. The bark, or bass, makes an excellent twine. Bits of fallen branchlets lay on the ground and the bark is collected from them.
Walking in the Pennsylvania woods with my dad sometimes you'd see an old stone fireplace,all that was left of a house that burned down.My dad's friend had a Chili Paddle,which was about that size,shaped like an oar and used to stir diner-sized pots of chili and soups.
See, I thought I remembered this, too, but the Britannica article tells how Michelangelo (26 at the time) was selected to finish a sculpture begun and abandoned by Agostino, and rejected by Rosellino, so at best the original sculptor (who had admittedly only roughed out the legs) had given an indication of where the angel was hidden! I guess Michelangelo knew how to build some hype around his work!
I don't know if anyone has already mentioned this/or if it was a typo, but at 01:30, I think it was from WW1 and not WW2. Love these videos and keep up the hard work!
Thank you for explaining the safety aspects of carving the wooden spoon. I was cringing as you were starting because it looked like you were cutting directly towards your hand. I’m glad is was a camera angle issue.
The spoon making is just fabulous to watch. I'm well into my 60s, my mom had me in her 30s, and my gg grandfather (we're going back a good way here) made a rather intricately carved set of 6 oak chairs which I am the lucky recipient of. They're around the giant two piece of mahogany (base & top) dining room table my grandmother bought at a prison in Manilla in the 1950s which I'm also the very lucky owner of. I often wonder if they still have trees this big in Asia. I do hope so. And how does a farmer make beautiful furniture in his spare time? Maybe it was when he'd been disabled (or "crippled" as I heard it described once upon a time) after he'd fallen from up high on the church steeple he'd volunteered to paint. Having lived my entire life separated by a large continent from the only living person who might have known, his granddaughter (who died in 1981), I have absolutely no idea. Anyway, I did find this fascinating! Thank you.
I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts we also had some good storms that have done some crazy damage. However that is the price you pay to live on the coast.
Watching the spoon materialise out of the block of wood is fascinating! Did you ever think of volunteering with a scout group, or similar, to share your expertise?
Eva is a cutie, I love her little bark, she is happy to just dig holes, I would love to be happy from something so simple. Let Eva know she was a star on this video!
You are definitely my first pick in the zombie apocalypse! You never cease to surprise me with your variety of knowledge and interests. Stay creative, man. Oh and I hope those folks got their house sorted okay 👍
I would like to suggest you obtaining a draw knife, as it would make the carving much easier, and a great project for you might be building a shaving horse. They are great for wood farcing and wood working by hand.
I'm not a salesman for the company but I would highly recommend mora for their qualiy carving knives and spoon knives. They come incredibly sharp so some knowledge on how to make safe cuts is required. I would also recomend this video by Zed outdoors, "How To Carve A Spoon - Paul Adamson" for anyone wanting to learn the skill. No link entered as I don't want anyone to panick that it could be a malicious link on this channel but it is an easy youtube search.
The spoon reminds me of how you trim or prune a tree - it's not what you trim it's what you leave... The spoon carving portion of the video reminds me of those videos where someone with not much clothes builds and entire subterranean dwelling complete with day spa and swimming pool with some fallen timbers, mud and found moss all in a 20 minute episode....
Good thing your not into building catapults or pirate ships!! Spoons are useful, so are the other things but spoons are definitely easier to store!! Cheers mate!!
7:20 the auto-generated subtitles started registering the wood-cutting with the hatchet as applause and I just find that delightful.
Lol Katy!

There were little gems hidden all over, like the spoon-carving knife and it becoming a ceremonial spoon, some of which one could easily overhear

Eva digging in the sand all adorable like was just what I needed
I love Eva she has such a big personality. I also love it when you film outside. Spring must have sprung in the UK 😃
It looks like Eva really enjoyed running and digging ,and I also got a kick out of watching her. I can't wait to see the finished spoon. :>)
I'm fairly sure that in Sweden we used to carve our wooden clogs out of Lind(en) since its so sturdy and yet easy to work with. Great job on that spoon, very inspiring.
This is probably my favorite series on this channel. It’s so relaxing!

Eva looks like a baked bean in this AND I LOVE IT
More like a purple jumping bean 😉
Somthing calming and ASMR about the spoon carving
Eva's ears when she's digging is just about the cutest thing ever. and I love how bossy she is about you throwing things.
How very relaxing to watch.Lovely Eva playing ..how perfect. I cant wait to see the finished spoon,It looks fabulous so far.
Random Stuff is my favourite segment, but only the pinnacle of a perfect pile.

"and I hope to see you again *spoon* "
omg, that was amazing
I don’t know why “ceremonial spoon” makes me smile, but it does. Thanks for the distraction. 😊
Eva is such a happy little dog who clearly loves you so much. Love seeing footage of her.
Thank you for making youtube videos. I just love it
It's a shame we'll have to wait a ladle while longer for the finished product, but I'm sure we'll get to see it spoon enough.
I really do love your creativity. Imo peak human existence is just being able to create freely like that.

For some reason the pieces of wood I find always seem to have very strange spoons hidden in them.
You're an absolute delight thanks for sharing with us!
I can't wait to see some of the finishing of the spoon. It's looking great! See you spoon, hopefully!
that was the best way i have ever heard spoon carving be described (not that it had much competition).

your videos are always great at showing off the little things in life always look forwarding to each and every upload much love
I didn't know I needed this it was strangely relaxing watching you carve a spoon
How can people waste their lives gaming when they could be relaxing, carving things? I love the enjoyment Mr A. Shrimp brings.
Love everything on your channel!
Just got home from the dentist and I am gifted with a new Atomic Shrimp video 🦷
Wow, I could never carve wood that good, impressive! I hope to see you again real spoon too! Lol

Nice mix of random stuff :) That shore reminded me the ending scene of "You rang m'lord", which is somehow quite popular here in Hungary.
wowwwww, I really enjoyed watching Eva on the beach. She seems to be having the time of her life! :DDDDDDDDDDDD
It is a pity that the plaque has disappeared as it gives all the information. There is a photograph of it on the Portuguese Fireplace wikipedia page.
Someone probably stole it if it was made of bronze or something else valuable?
Definitely an ASMR session 🥰

Looking forward to spoon carving episode 2. See you ladle.

That spoon is neat. I hope you are naming it Eunice.
The big spoon needs to be in a skit in one of your episodes. :))
The spoon making is just fabulous to watch. I'm well into my 60s, my mom had me in her 30s, and my gg grandfather (we're going back a good way here) made a rather intricately carved set of 6 oak chairs which I am the lucky recipient of. They're around the giant two piece of mahogany (base & top) dining room table my grandmother bought at a prison in Manilla in the 1950s which I'm also the very lucky owner of. I often wonder if they still have trees this big in Asia. I do hope so. And how does a farmer make beautiful furniture in his spare time?

They say he carved it himself, from a BIGGER spoon!
Five alarm chili, eh?
I would like to suggest you obtaining a draw knife, as it would make the carving much easier, and a great project for you might be building a shaving horse. They are great for wood farcing and wood working by hand.
Ending was strong, 10/10.
Subscribed so I get notification of the eventual big wooden spoon stew episode.
I'm not a salesman for the company but I would highly recommend mora for their qualiy carving knives and spoon knives.

Sneaky pun there at the end!
The spoon reminds me of how you trim or prune a tree - it's not what you trim it's what you leave...

I like to whittle sometimes. I'll have to try some of these techniques.
I somehow love the idea of a spoon possessing gravitas
Good thing your not into building catapults or pirate ships!!
Spoons are useful, so are the other things but spoons are definitely easier to store!!
