Been carving for a year or so and just wanted to thank you and say you’ve been by far the most influential carver I’ve found on FB. I know some people like audio commentary but for me your videos are perfect. I just study your technique. Anyway I’ve come a long way ( I think) and watching your videos has helped me more than anything. Thanks, Kevin. You’re a very talented artist.
Awww Kevin, this reminds me of my Grandpa and Dad. #RIP. They loved their stogies 😄 Thanks for putting a smile on my face in the midst of this upside down world. You're talent is a joy to watch.
lol lol cool Kevin i'm a amazed every time i see your carving great work buddy god has blessed you well done amen amen .from alaska take care stay safe .two thumps up .
Holy mackerel! That is a superb piece of artwork. Anyone can find a piece of pine and a broken knife hanging around and have a go at this. The satisfaction of creating a piece of art is beyond belief , and the glow seems to last for a good while afterwards. Thank you Kevin for your inspirational video.
Superb. 40 minutes of escapism, no chatter just the sound of the knife on wood familliar to all who appreciate carving. Thanks for taking the time to film this i've learned a lot you.ve a new subscriber here...............Cheers mate
Yay! Just what I needed to help get through the quarantine. Welcome back. Hope all is well in NL with this virus thing. Stay well and thanks for posting.
Wonderful carving Kevin! You make it look so easy. My son Alex has been working on something similar in between other carvings. He's carving a lid for a humidor box with some type of caricature on it. Thanks for the video👍
Como me fascina todo lo q tiene relación con la madera, he visto infinidad de videos sobre ella, pero nunca, nunca he visto nada igual!!! Mi respeto y admiración hacia su persona y tan bello arte. Es usted favorecido con un don q muy pocos tienen. Desde ya, seguiré muy de cerca su trabajo. Felicitaciones!!!!
Nice work indeed. However, that is not a broken knife. I was issued the same knife working in a paper mill. We used it to cut a layer out of a paper roll to do a splice. Turn it backward and push hard, it will cut an inch deep. I still have mine from 1974.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Julian Armani thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
So good to see you back, Kevin!!! Hope all is well with you and yours! I have learned so much from your videos. You are incredibly talented and creative and I so appreciate that you are willing to share your skills with us! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Kevin. This carving looks just like a Bossons Head carving my mother bought in Estes Park CO when I was about five years old. Except it was a replica in plaster of Paris. She hung it on a wall in our family room for many years. I’m pretty sure she still has it and that has got to be over 50 years ago now. Thank you for showing us this method of wood carving. You are fantastic my friend!!!
Un verdadero artista, de los pocos que nos hacen ver lo mejor de este complicado mundo y lo mejor de nosotros mismos. excelente video sin música, solo lo esencial, el sonido de las herramientas. Mis sinceras felicitaciones.
Growing up, I had a neighbor who had a shed behind his house that was somewhat of a museum. It was filled with his carvings from tiny shoes, to elaborate moving cravings. His work was magical. He made growing up where I did a great thing.
I've often wondered why I can't create something this brilliantly clever, artistic and humorous, and after watching this great artisan at work I've realised the ONLY reason is...I'm NOT left-handed.
dang... I went and bought a flex-cut knife set, when all I needed was a pre- world war one, broken fishing knife. I guess it doesn't matter what you use when you have talent. Wonderful job sir, I learned a lot from this video.
Kevin and his broken steak knife amazes me every time. If I didn’t see it, I’d swear he was carving soap or wax. I have sharp, great knives, and good basswood, but never seem to carve any stop-cuts or detail, nearly as clean as this. Unbelievable!
Before every one corrects me... I know it’s a broken Dexter Russell Filer knife, previously 7”. It just looks like several Steak knives I have in a kitchen drawer. It’s not the knife,or the wood...it’s the Carver. There is no substitute for talent and experience combined. Kevin clearly has an abundance of both!
