    Thank you for the quality content you produce. Wood carving is a dying craft/art form. Anything we can do to get folks INVOLVED, is worthwhile! I especially love working with kids. It is so rewarding

    Loved watching your take on this project. It's one of my favorites. I first tried it after watching Doug Linker's video and loved it. Great beginner project... speaking of Doug, I miss the Coffee & Carving videos. Loved listening to you two talk about carving and life. My fingers are crossed in hopes that you guys will the channel back up again, but until then thanks for your great videos. 👍🏻

    That Badger state blades knive seems like it's cutting great 👍
    I brought 3 of their blades for what the price of many good knifes sale for. The handle I made are a different method of making handles and stronger as my work is laminated, such as plywood, both of which are stronger than just wood.
    I built my for a better fit as many knives varieties are smaller than I like .
    I've tested my knives, and I believe they are good enough for my lifetime
    I'm trying this .
    You have slowed down your teaching, and it's more helpful to me .
    I have pre-order your book and also the carving magazine. Sure, having the steps by step will help someone begin such as myself. I'm confident I can be fairly good with some skill building
    Do you think that looks like Doug? I do.
    Thanks for your inspiration

    Wow what happends between 5:20 and 6:00 !? You remove a lot of material from each sides 😱 I started with a block of 1’’1/2 (maybe I did not understand correctly) so I have to remove a lot of wood to have a piece of wood whose looks like yours. You do it effortless 😅

    • @84Juli1

      I did the hat but the wood is very hard in one side. Does a woodcarver take care of the direction of the wood grain ? It take me 30 minutes to make the hat. It looks like a pencil but I broke the top of the hat when I have trying to give it a nice turn 😥 The hat is small now 😆

    My very first wizard was about 13-15 years ago, I created it out of a 1x1 about 12-16" scrap peace of pine that I took off a door and casing I was installing, anyway, I didn't cut it into a triangle blank because I wanted my wizard to have a back of a head and I wanted the tip of his hat to bend towards the back and not to the side, I had intended making him into a wizard wand, lol get it, but my wife was so impressed on how good it turned out that she kept it for her self and I never got to finish the wand half of it, the good thing is if she would let me finish it like I wanted, she still has the little Guy, I would show a picture of it but I'm not sure just were she has it rite off hand, still looks good though, I impressed myself
