Thank you. It was fun to do it eith you.

I got to be honest I don’t know if I trust a review from a guy with that many Band-Aids😂

Thank you so much !! Your tutorial is awesome.

@5:08-5:30 Cheap tools for beginners... I'm a professional knife sharpener and avid carver and have a different view on cheap for beginners. 👨‍🦳💁 Personally I feel cheap tools should be avoided at all costs, and I am very serious about this, and can give pages of reasons why cheap is a bad way to go. I would strongly suggest a "quality brand" to start with if "testing the waters" is your style (these are not high end, but quite acceptable) I like Flexcut as a quality entry, or a but lower and somewhat more clunky... Beaver Craft as the absolute lowest entry level tool. Of the two Flexcut sharpens more easily and holds a finer edge much longer, and tends to have a better heat treatment across their range of tools... this a going to become extremely important about 20 minutes into it as a beginner! Cheap tools are dangerously and get dull fast, they don't hold an edge and take forever to sharpen properly, and will go dull in a few minutes... THIS is where the craft is loosing people and getting beginners wounded more than anything else. 🤨🤬🤬 For beginners both brands mention above offer various intro kits and have quite acceptable steel and acceptable heat treating.. and you can mix them as you grow to cover gaps in tool sizes or handle types and shapes without having wasting loads of money, plus the resale is better than cheap knockoffs! 💁 TBH I feel Flexcut is a big step up from Beaver Craft and it will be noticeable after only a few hours. The quality and kind of steel and heat treatment is where the magic really happens for any knife of any kind... and literally for any cutting tool, too ignore this "for a beginner" or misunderstand why a five piece "professional set from Pfeil or Two Cherries" is vastly superior to a trunk load of cheap aZon knockoffs is too ultimately not understand why quality and precision matters. That said, as a sharpener I would much rather see a beginner buy a basic entry one or three piece kit from Pfiel's quality steel than a truckload of Schaaf... it will be the same price and their quality experience will determine the outcome to continue the craft or abandon it more accurately.

I love my Schaaf and Beavercraft tools so much, and then Badger State blades, even though I have two Helvie knives.

👍👍

practicing now

I’d like to start carving / whittling, but I want to use logs that I have laying around. If I were to get a Beaver Craft knife and start carving would I be able to make something? I’ll do it anyway, but am curious to hear what more experienced people think.

Yay Brian! I’ve loved your channel for a number of years now and this inlay laser content is very exciting!!!!! I started with whittling and have ventured in to lasers as well. Both hobbies encourage creativity and both are so much fun!!!

I wish the volume was up. I had to turn it up and then got blasted with a commercial super loud.

I cut my thumb when I cut towards my self and wow that bled a lot and it hurt so when I showered I put a washcloth around it but the skin didn’t cut of or anything oh nononono it was basically a deep skin hangnail

Any hints about covers for carving gouges?

Not interested

Excelentes valoraciones. Muchísimas gracias!

Please do a cup for yerba

Would a Benchmade mini bugout or a civivi Appalachian drifter 2 be good to start whittleing with? Or would I have to buy new knoves

Gonna definitely give this a go!👍🏻

I bought the Old Timer Spinter a while ago and I've never used it because the grinds are just junk and I'd have to do significant regrinding to get it in working order. The slipjoint action sucks too, it just generally doesn't inspire much confidence. I'd definitely recommend saving money and getting a proper tool if you want the gouge capability, otherwise a simple little pocket knife would be a better buy.

Do you have any clue if you could get bigger pieces of wood anywhere? All I find is the premade small sized from 2 by 2 or up to 4 and a lenght of maybe 15 centimeter, due to this it has insane prices. I would love to just buy a big block and saw out smaller pieces myself, I assume that would be cost efficient if you got the tools. But Im unable to find a place that sells that.

Does anyone know what knife he's using in this video?

Hello! I want to buy a double sided wetstone to keep my knives sharp for carving. My options are 1000/3000 and 1000/6000 wich one should I get? Also is this enough for casual carving? Thank you!

(this is very unrelated) You know, the second I saw the channel name, I honestly thought it said 'crying is fun' and I got very confused about the relationship between whittling and crying 😅

I want to see every type of cut, not just the basic ones.

Working on this, I'm amazed how easily your ships come off and you are able to cut off huge chunks! I too am using basswood and a carving set but doesn't seem as soft as yours or is it just to do with experience??

your vidéos are way too long

Is there any way you could post like an image of the side profile/measurements? My niece loves pokemon, but I suck at whittling still 😅

The ONLY correct answer to this question is... ALL THE TOOLS!!!!!! It doesn't matter what projects you are undertaking. Thank you for your attention...

Thank you Jack ..great video and info ..love your channel my friend

:58 finally see what ya look like there mr carver! - thanks for the videos

Thank you so much!!! My whittling knife is better than ever:D

Awesome video! I got the bevercraft bird kit and I’m enjoying it! Wish you mentioned that heat treating the green stroping compound was a necessary step though. Didn’t realize the first time, and just tried it today. Knife is working so much better now.

Thanks

You don’t need compound on the fine side

Every carvers dream

Can you do this with dowels?

I tryed to make a spoon it was small and didn't even look like a spoon😅😂

Thanks

Today, I managed to whittle out your fox from your tourtial, and it came out pretty good. I'm going to do some more as a neighbour loved it so much , I couldn't say no. And gave it away. I think if I do a few more, my cutting technique will become better. Thanks again for your excellent videos

Thanks! My third fox will surely be the best yet.

I love the wear on your flippity doo dah blade

Amazing,

Ahhh, ok it makes sense now. Unfortunately the Helvie site is down at the moment 😢 are there any other high end brands that come close to the Helvie?

Thumb guard!? I wish I'd heard about those 30 years ago, otherwise my thumb wouldn't look like a fisherman's after years of building models.

thank you so much for this. I carved one for my partner who loves Foxes and she loved it. I'm doing another one and I'm still struggling to make cuts as easy as you do. would Beaver Craft knives be capable of making cuts that smooth? thats what I'm using and I'm wondering if its my stropping thats the issue

On the palm tools, is that black rubber for the handle?

Thanks for the explanations! I have actually self taught the push cut to peel vegetables as a young child since both parents worked and I often needed to cook my own food. Before anyone indicates how irresponsible it is for the parents to trust me with kitchen utensils at those young ages, just know that they already KNEW and I proved them that I was more careful, safe and conscientious than 99.9% of kids my age. ...Okay, my father didn't trust me per se, but that's because he didn't know me much since, well... It's a whole different story xD

6:30 I'm actually glad they didnt include a belt clip. I find that belt clips always end up digging into either my palm or my finger, depending on orientation. I usually end up taking my belt clips off all my knives. I dont need to access my knife THAT fast.

This was my first carving project. Very cool!

Have you ever used raw linseed oil for spoons? It's food safe and hardens fully, but I've heard it takes ages to cure.

I'm loving your channel so far, I've picked up so much in such a short time so I'm very grateful to you. I have a question though, more of an issue really, there are a couple of patches on my strop where the compound doesn't seem to want to adhere to the surface of the strop. Its doesn't rub off the block directly and if i try to warm the leather and smooth it that way, it still won't stick to these patches. Do you have any advice?
