I saw a man who did covered bridges in spools. Thanks for this video

@Kellygaugler-w3i 11 месяцев назад

My mother sews a lot quilts. I carved Christmas related spools and used twine to put them together and made a tree garland. She loved it

@arciafrench993 5 месяцев назад

I have a lot of spools so I’m going to give it a try.

@ranielson2854 11 месяцев назад

🌟Some of those old wooden spools are worth hundreds of dollars to certain collectors! The added face brings me GREAT JOY! DOUG!

@ronaldschlegel1908 11 месяцев назад

That is sooooo clever. Excellent work again Doug

@bernardmcmahon7434 8 месяцев назад

Doug, thanks for this. Don't know how many times I've watched this video. As a youngster, I used to collect cotton reels. My dad asked why, and I didn't know. Now decades later, I have an answer, just not the spools, lol.

Praise be to Doug Linker. Thank you Mr. Linker for all you do to tutor your tutees!

@garypostell5268 11 месяцев назад

Doug, just wanted to thank you for all of your projects that a lot of us enjoy. The effort that you put into all of your videos is just outstanding. I’ve watched a lot of other carving vids and you my friend are my favorite! Thank you for all of your time very professional done a natural born teacher. 🙏💯👍🇺🇸❤️

@michaelmarchione3408 11 месяцев назад

That is soooooooooo coooooooooooool!!! I have a handful of them that were my great-grandmother's. All different sizes from the 40's,50's, and early 60's. Can't wait to see what you will teach us next! Enjoyed as always and take care!

@paulkemp6459 10 месяцев назад

Great video Doug. Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too, because it is close.

@dougLinker 10 месяцев назад

Thx but it’s long past here -Canada is much earlier Thanksgiving

@TinaWells143 11 месяцев назад

This was awesome! I recently found spools that belonged to my great-grandmother. I LOVE the Santa 🎅

@pilotgoals62 11 месяцев назад

I like the spool holder. Since those spools are pretty hard wood, it is easier to slip when pushing harder on the knife, and we all know...that's when we head for the Band-Aids. The holder keeps our holding hand out of the way. Love your content. Long time watcher. Thanks for sharing, Doug!

@fouroakscrafts7240 11 месяцев назад

Love these spool carvings! It was also neat how you could carve through to the center on some of those.

@PeteLewisWoodwork 11 месяцев назад

I mean, it just gets whackier by the week - whacky but fantastic! I can't imagine how many of those little reels my grandmother chucked out over the years, probably would have been enough to make a damn good number of carvings, if I'd had the notion to think of it way back then. As kids, we made elastic band propelled 'tanks' from them - little did we know what we were missing...!

@Brentegg 11 месяцев назад

Those are really lovely doug. If i get some, I'll give it a shot

@fernnewell6032 11 месяцев назад

Enjoyed this and it was really nice you showed how you handled an oops.

@upallnyte2000 11 месяцев назад

I am lousy at carving small, but still enjoyed this video. I really like the Santa you showed in your collection of carved spools. My wife has some really large spools that could be a totem pole idea for you to carve. Thanks for another great video.

@shawnbooms6176 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely brilliant video. I just can't stop watching and trying my best at creating some of the things you do.

@6bluestrings 11 месяцев назад

Dude you rock that beard, but I think your shaved look is most handsome. None the less, as usual, your talent and imagination is awesome. I just enjoy all your videos.

@beverlydeardurff5366 11 месяцев назад

I've got a whole box of those wooden spools!! I've been saving to carve. I thought that there was something about carving them in an issue of a Woodcarving Illustrated magazine. Also, I've some old wooden rolling pins. I wondered if the wood would be too hard to carve. I enjoy watching you carve. Your voice is so soothing.

@svs1551 11 месяцев назад

@g.k.dalton4530 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing this.!! Now I’m excited.. gots to see if I can find me some of those old spools..👍🏻

@phyllisstone3089 11 месяцев назад

I've carved several of these over the years. Have you ever carved old wooden rolling pins? They are very hard wood as well, but lots of fun. Loved your video! Great! Thank you for sharing.

@Alberto1993 11 месяцев назад

Great Idea Doug! Thank you😊

@PetroicaRodinogaster264 11 месяцев назад

Just having them to look at on a shelf would be great.

@texasfender7435 11 месяцев назад

Could you make a tutorial carving a miniature fox 🙏🏼

@MrLupus2011 11 месяцев назад

we used to make spool tractors from these . carve notches round the two rims put an elastic band through the middle with a short match stick on one side that sat in another carved notch and a long match stick (twice the length of spool end) on the other side that was left smooth. twist up the band with the long stick put on floor and watch them go.

@dougLinker 11 месяцев назад

That’s right! I remember something along those lines too

@MrLupus2011 11 месяцев назад

i was thinking you could carve an animal or person around the spool tractor so they look like they are jumping or rolling, a cat comes to mind.@@dougLinker

@danareed1656 11 месяцев назад

iv got some of those old spools from my moms sewing kit!

@sharonh667 11 месяцев назад

HA!!! LOL! You never fail to amuse 😂😂😂 I really enjoy watching all your videos and even attempt the carving. Kitties love to knock gnomes down off their shelf and chase them around the room, teeheehee

Will spraying with alcohol and water make it easier to carve

Do you still have a match site? With hoodies and things of that nature?

No but may do something again soon if their is a demand

Not at this point no -maybe someday

@out-landishintheokanagan270 10 месяцев назад

I am going to try to carve spools. There are 18 on buysell for $20. I don't know if that is a good price or not. I am new to carving and not very artistic. I managed to do your basic owl. I haven't learned a lot about sharpening and haven't practiced enough.

@kevinhampton7215 11 месяцев назад

@stevesmolik24 11 месяцев назад

Hi Doug, I really enjoy your carving videos. Thank you for creating and sharing them. Since I began watching, and when we’re out shopping, I look for ideas for carving. I would like to send pictures of these to you to share with everyone. Is there an email address that I can send pictures to? Thank you.

@Crits-Crafts 11 месяцев назад

I've got a massive pile of these from a local goodwill (I think I've got 30 ish) ... but I'm really new to whittling. I'm looking forward to being confident enough to have a go at these

@wattsnex2725 11 месяцев назад

@shirleybender 11 месяцев назад

Question…. If you soak them in water to rehydrate a little make it any easier?

@phyllisstone3089 11 месяцев назад

You could spray them with 50/50 water and rubbing alcohol. I'm not sure I would soak them in water.

@shirleybender 11 месяцев назад

@@phyllisstone3089 thank you!

@DaleKirkpatrick-dw4re 11 месяцев назад

I like to use spools with the original paper labels. Adds to the authenticity. Soaking them will loosen the labels, maybe even ruin them. I’ve never had to soften the wood. Some spools may just be too hard to carve. Toss and get another one. 😊
