    Well it looks like I'm going to busy this evening. Thanks for the ideas Doug. I do have some big Dowell (Mop handle ). I am going to make a Coffee and get started on a few of those Little fellas. I have a great idea for our Christmas dinner table thanks to you.... the Legend that is Doug Linker.

  • @markperron851
    @markperron851 2 роки тому

    Doug another great video. It was actually better than most because of getting to watch something go wrong and how you calmly showed that it was easily fixed.
    I also thought it was very cool to have Sophie sing in the background. I luve by myself and while I enjoy the quiet, I think especially at Christmas time it is wonderful to have beautiful voices singing joyful songs. Also I thought the reason people got little dogs was so they could talk to them and treat them like babies. Never was really sure I have always been a big dog dude. Regardless it is always creative at the Linker house.
    Thanks for the tutorial, I am off to whip up a last minute gift.
    Merry Christmas to you and the family! Don't forget brother Carl either as I see you somewhat frequently on his channel, or at least some woodland creature that shares your image! Lol

  • @PeteLewisWoodwork

    Nice little whittle. Reminds me of one I done about a year ago, with a greenwood Blackthorn stick about 3 quarter inch diameter and about 5 inches long - based it on your 5-minute wizard. As you mentioned, it does tend to fall over if touched, so I've got it safely away from all of that now (can see it standing proud on the TV shelf, right beside the 'log' effect offcut that came from it).

    Hi Doug, another really satisfying carve. Thanks for the vid. You mentioned that you're using a Flexcut knife to show that it isn't about the brand. I've been using the knives from a Pllieay beginners set, the set is available on Amazon and comes with 2 knives and some bits of wood. An extra 5 mins on the strop and they're grand. I've managed to whittle along with several of your vids. It really isn't about the brand.

  • @riccojames1
    @riccojames1 2 роки тому

    Great vid as always. I see Shawn had some wonderful gifts for his cabin.
    How about whittling a Cali (Labrador dog)? I am guessing a lot of us have dogs and would love to get whittling.

  • @ggbuck2625

    Doug, How do I donate?? !!! I hope you read these occasionally. I am an avid fan and use your step-by-step, well-explained vids almost daily, and most of them over and over while I work on your projects. I have asked this question before, but forget/can't find the vid I posted to see what your answer was. So, I posted to shortcut to this vid to watch for an answer. This brings me great joy and an opportunity to slow my world down when I am doing this. Look forward to hearing how to show my appreciation by donating!! Tom Ramsey
