The wood I used is basswood, and I buy it in 1x1x6 inch blanks. I simply cut the 6-inch blank down into several 2.5" sections using a handsaw.
These blanks make your entire chess set very easy to measure and keep consistent, and if you'd like to buy your own, you can check them out in the link below. Thanks for watching!

    I just went to Helvie Knives website. It is so unfortunate that their family is having severe health issues. They are NOT taking any new orders at this point. They used to state a 16 month waiting list for paid orders. I suppose that is gone now. I wish them all the best during this crisis. I just happen to have one Helvie knife that I purchased years ago and just put away. It is very sad that the Universe does this kind of thing to good people.

  • @InimitaPaul
    @InimitaPaul Před 2 měsíci

    I’d say the Old Timer is perfect for beginners, no beginner wants to pay CJ prices especially if they’re not experienced in blade maintenance. They can start with the OT and any mistakes they make are cheap to fix, heck for the price why not buy two and break one down and see what can be done with it re modifications. CJ’s a way overpriced for a sharp blade and ergonomics, most beginners aren’t going to be carving more than a spoon or a bushcraft cup so it’s more than suitable for the occasional use it will get. If they find they love carving THEN consider stepping up but as I said, CJ’s are way overpriced.

    Thank you for sharing this! I have carved many faces but few animals and a dog is my next project requested from a family member. Thank you for the honesty of the "oops". When I tried to carve a bird I accidentally performed a "head-en-ectomy!" so yes too much pressure. Also trying to carve a hat the material was thin so I too had to make a tiny stop cut then vertical cut like your tail that is a handy technique. I will watch your vid many times as I do to really get the techniques down.

Mostly carry a Huntsman now days. My late wife carried a Fisherman on her keychain for years. I finally found another woman that can stand me and she uses a Fieldmaster. Hard to believe that such a lovely lady is sooooo good with a knife. Hmmmm.... I gotta remember that.

  • @whittler0507
    @whittler0507 Před 6 měsíci

    Flexcut is a medium good carving knife ..Holds a edge well and if you like the handle ..not bad ..The Beaver Craft is a fairly decent knife ..But doesnt hold the edge very well ..Need to strop it more often when carving ..Both popular because Amazon carries a good supply of them ..But once you decide you want to learn to carve well ..Its best to move up to the more custom knives like Helvie ..OCCT ..Lyons .. And most name brand carving knives made by carvers themselves ..Much harder to obtain ..But superior in blade steel

  • @johnduffy6546
    @johnduffy6546 Před 6 měsíci

    Agreed. The Flexcut come out of the package ready to carve! The BeaverCraft need some strop love before you can really use them. If you are experienced with sharpening, the BeaverCraft can save you a few bucks;

  • @Autonomous15
    @Autonomous15 Před 6 měsíci

    When you buy the flexcuts separately, that "cutting" blade is called a chip blade. It must have just been some quirk in that 3-piece kit you got, where they call it Cutting. Maybe it's for the beginners to use as a cutting blade, vs the larger actual cutting blade. Weird for them to deceive a newbie though.
