    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).

  • @markperron851
    @markperron851 Рік 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

    I have a carving friend who worked for phone company in upper state NY. When they were replacing white cedar poles they said he could take what he wanted. He cut them in 1ft lengths then split them. Pieces ended up in ~1" diameter. From there he designed a simple face Santa with a tall hat & long jaggery beard. As the wood split like bamboo. Each one more unique than the last based on knot holes and curve-shapes.

    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
