I’ve watched a lot of wood spirit videos over the last couple of days, and this one has many of the same steps as the others ones, but done in a way that is much more straight forward and understandable, thank you! I could see this as being my go to video for making wood spirits in the future,
Great carving Kevin. Really enjoy your channel and the tutorials. They really help and inspire a novice like me. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the hard work.
Hi Kevin, Great video the addition of the comments is very helpful. I am enjoying watching your videos they inspire me to keep chipping away. Thanks very much for your time and effort making them.
Excellent. I learn something every time I watch your videos. I've done at least a half a dozen of your pieces now and they are easy to follow and complete. Silence is golden! Thank you.
Awesome video. A friends dad used to carve these and I loved them. Never thought itd be something I could do. Definitely going to give it a try. Thanks!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any help you can give me
Hi Kevin I was just thinking about your channel yesterday, nice to see you back. I envy how you can carve such perfect eyes in all of your pieces. Hoping the weather has been great in that wonderful province of yours. All the best...
Thanks Denis, I haven’t had much time to do videos lately. I’ve been flat out carving trying to fill orders. I had lots of troubles doing eyes first when I started carving. I would take scrap pieces of wood and do eyes over and over. It do get a little easier in time. The weather hasn’t been great. Colder than usual but I’m not complaining.
This shit blows my mind. Everytime I see someone carve a face but especially when they are this well done 👏. Thank you. May God bless you your loved ones and all fortunate enough to see this 🙏❤.
I like your vids. Doug Linker mentioned your name and here I am . Watched two vids and subbed Right away. Now I'm binging. That's some nasty scar across the back of your left arm. I'm left handed also. Thanks for sharing. Rick.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s nice to not have the “music “ playing in the background. Please keep up the great work and the great videos.
Just earned a sub for that knife i made one so close to the same out of an old japanese kitchen knife love it! i angled mine more at the tip so its also my detail knife when i choke up nice fine point. your videos are awesome!
Great video superb skills can you tell me a bit about the detail knife and the best way to keep it razor sharp I seem to keep breaking noses and beaks of when I use mine pfiel 14 knife
Thanks. The knife I use for detail is a flexcut roughing knife. Sharpening knives take lots of practice the same as carving does. I’ve been at it for 20 years and I’m still learning carving skills and how to keep my knives sharp. The best advice I can give is just keep at it.
As I go about trying to learn to do this, one thing becomes very apparent. There are folks, like yourself, who are just artistically inclined. Then there are those, such as myself, who seem to do better where a big hammer and chisel is required. 😂 Great video. I shall keep plugging away at it!!👍
Idk if you run this channel yourself or if you see the comments at all, but thank you. Without guys like you making videos like this, i would have never known i could do something like this.
I found two Chicago Cutlery kitchen knives on Walmart internet. Wood handles. One straight with a shorter blade and one with a finger guard, it was a meat carving knife. I ordered them. Will cut the blades shorter to carve wood with. I think the blades are carbon steel. They look like Kevin's carving knives he made from fishing knives.
It’s a fish knife. A fillet knife that’s cut down. Go back through my videos and you will see one I converted for carving. It’s a different knife but similar. Back about 14 videos
This knife is 45-50 years old. It may be a Green River knife. Not sure if it’s this one or one of the others I have. Amazon I think has the Green River boning knife. Maybe $20-$30
I’ve watched a lot of wood spirit videos over the last couple of days, and this one has many of the same steps as the others ones, but done in a way that is much more straight forward and understandable, thank you! I could see this as being my go to video for making wood spirits in the future,
Thank you
Great carving Kevin. Really enjoy your channel and the tutorials. They really help and inspire a novice like me. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the hard work.
Always a joy, and great learning experience, to watch you carve. Thanks.
Thank you 😊
Pure genius!! Loved every minute of this instinctual.
Correction to my last comment. Instinctual should have read instructional
Hi Kevin, Great video the addition of the comments is very helpful. I am enjoying watching your videos they inspire me to keep chipping away. Thanks very much for your time and effort making them.
Excellent. I learn something every time I watch your videos. I've done at least a half a dozen of your pieces now and they are easy to follow and complete. Silence is golden! Thank you.
Thanks Art. I hope to get more videos done in the near future. I don’t have much free time right now
I learn something new every time I watch one of your video`s, Kevin. Thank you for that.
That’s good. Glad they help
Kevin, as so many have mentioned, the subtitles were fabulous. They are so extremely helpful. I’m glad you’re back. Thank you very much my friend.
Thank you Laurie. Glad the text helps. Finding time to do the videos is the hardest part for me. 👍🏻
Thank you Kevin, thank you so much. It is such a plesure to watch you work, that I allways loose the track of time.

Does this fella only use the one knife? How refreshing
It's been awhile since you posted a video. I hope you are well and have a very Merry Christmas.
Jerry, I have been very busy for the past few months with work. I will get back at the videos hopefully after Christmas. Merry Christmas to you too

I do but I haven’t had much time to get the comments lately. I’ve been so busy. Glad it helps. Thanks
Been missing ya. Any plans to record a carving soon?
Ciao Kevin..non produci più? Per me sei il migliore e aspetto un tuo prossimo lavoro.🤗
I found two Chicago Cutlery kitchen knives on Walmart internet. Wood handles. One straight with a shorter blade and one with a finger guard, it was a meat carving knife. I ordered them. Will cut the blades shorter to carve wood with. I think the blades are carbon steel. They look like Kevin's carving knives he made from fishing knives.
Hopefully they work out for you
Thanks Kevin. I'll let you know if they do.
Tell us more about that knife, looks like a good old carbon steel kitchen knife cut down, maybe a video on how you made it???
It’s a fish knife. A fillet knife that’s cut down. Go back through my videos and you will see one I converted for carving. It’s a different knife but similar. Back about 14 videos
What kind of wood are you using and do you pre-soak you're wood
It’s white pine. I haven’t tried soaking it
Muchas gracias por este video !! Me gustaria saber que madera uso !!
Thanks. The wood is eastern white pine
Love the knife, just goes to show you don't need fancy Helvie, Drake, Flexcut knives
Looking all over for a side view eye
This is helpful, thanks. Tell me about the knife you're using, name, where to buy?
This knife is 45-50 years old. It may be a Green River knife. Not sure if it’s this one or one of the others I have. Amazon I think has the Green River boning knife. Maybe $20-$30
What vood is it? Rwm Finland!
enjoyable, what knives are you using?
Thanks. It’s a modified fillet knife and a flexcut roughing knife
What knives do you use? I see you tend to only use that fish knife and is that a flex cut detail? Do you use any other knifes
que madera es soy de uruguay muy bueno
