How to carve a drinking cup - A Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Projekt 

Felix probably crafted his entire house with a Swiss Army knife.

It's a good thing Felix only uses his powers for good. I'm completely convinced he could take over the country with his SAK if he wanted.

I love these videos, While the rest of youtube is obsessing over supersteels and titanium handles on folders ,you show that a swiss army knife and some knowledge is all you really need to get the job done!

Me slouched on my sofa browsing RU-vid with no intention of ever doing this: *"Fascinating."*

These videos are always funny because he's always upbeat and happy..

I will never take for granted or doubt the awesome ability of the Swiss Army knife.

Right there is the difference between a good Swiss Army knife and a Chinese knockoff.

You have great smile like sunshine on your face when you get the job done. Great job!!

Bro you a legend, you use a Swiss Army knife in ways that seem impossible like I think you could straight make a house if you wanted with just a Swiss Army knife. Good job bro

Excellent job on the cup my friend. Thumbs up.

Immer wieder verblüffend, was Felix mit diesem kleinen Taschenmesser baut.

Just a little suggestion for those who are impatient - you can "dry" greenwood faster in the microwave. It's best done when you significant other isn't home, because if you go too far, its stinky. Use low heat and pause frequently (e.g. heat it up, then just let it sit a few minutes before continuing). You're basically boiling the water impregnated in the wood so it steams off. It's also not without risk - your piece may crack, especially if there are areas of varying thickness. I use this sometimes when turning wood on the lathe. In those cases I rough turn the shape, then microwave it before turning down to my final diameter. Since these bushcraft projects tend to be thicker, I think it should work ok if you're careful.

I spill most of my rum & coke anyway so a bit of a leak is ok. Great job Felix!

If you want to expand the wood, use beer instead of water. Look how good beer expands some bellies. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

The best channel about SAK

I watched a fantastic video on RU-vid from an English maker of shrink pots about a year ago teaching how to do it but I never imagined it would be possible to do with a Swiss army knife. That was quite something.

That made my hands hurt just watching you. Thanks for all your effort!

Felix, you make many difficult projects look easy. Thank you for your efforts in the cold weather.

Felix, I think you are even more versatile than the venerable Swiss Army Knife. Wonderful content!

Man 👨 I Love your enthusiasm. I appreciate what you’re teaching me. Merry Christmas and a very HaPpY New Year 👍🏻

Have to seal with pine resin on the bottom of the cup. A great scent my friend!

Я знал что швейцарский нож много функционале, но за вашу креативность, подачу материала для всех и доброжелательность отдельно сказать хочется спасибо!

Me and my 6 year old son loved this video great job

That was a tremendous effort I’ve seen a shrink cup before but not made with such limited tools. Very impressive.

“Feebers” - Felix Imler You rock Felix!

Excellent! That really took a bunch of the SAK skills and showed how to put them to use in one cool project. Thanks for sharing!

Best brand ambassador ever :-)

This was so much fun to watch. Man your wrist must be made of metal!!! I love these videos just so darn cool to see what you can accomplish with a Swiss Army knife! Have a good weekend friends

Well done Felix, I could tell that was a hard graft, well done to both you and your camera man for sticking it out and completing the job. You are an inspiration and I never cease to be amazed at what you can achieve with the little red knife.

Felix you are the best content producer on how to take advantage of SAK functions, I really appreciate your work. Congratulations and thank you very much.

Real stuff. Love it. Thanks Felix

probably one of the coolest things I've seen

I'd never heard of the shrink cup concept. Thanks for sharing.

Dude!!! That was totally awesome!!! You are probably the most patient guy I’ve met! Lol. Such a cool video and fun. I’m going to share this on my FB page. Blessings, the OCD Hunter!

this man is the best victorinox add i have ever seen

Just discovered these videos now I can’t stop watching these! Keep up the good job!

Wow, great video demonstrating patience and determination. Didn't know so much can be done with one tool. This is taking bushcraft to the next level. This is the first video of yours that I've seen. I will be checking out your other videos. Thanks for your hard work.

Absolutely brilliant Felix. Very impressive 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That was a very exciting one.... I particularly like the end.

Felix, that's for the wonderful cup video. You.make me.when I watch your you tube videos. Thank you from the USA.

Endlich ein Tipp wie ich meinen Weihnachtsbaum recyceln kann. ;-)

I really like it, my friend! I have been waiting for this video and I was not disappointed! Thank you for all your efforts in bringing these excellent how-to videos to us. All the best, James.

thank you Felix and camera man for another great video one I can not wait to try

This video was sick i love this blokes channel every time he giggles cracks me up in gotta try this

I have several styles of Victorinox pocket knives. Fisherman, and the one you show here, are my two favorites, and I always keep one or the other in my pocket. 3:57 I would have used saw to cut several times toward what I want thickness of cup to be. Then used blade like chisel, down tree rings. Much quicker with locking blade that way.

Im Swiss and thats the most Swiss thing I have ever seen😅.

You're doing great, a great teacher. Lost, skills, art, craftsmanship, I love seeing other's who know how to survive, because being alone isent a bad thing... As a matter of fact.. Everyone should be encouraged, to get to know yourself.. to have confidence, in the great outdoors Depend on yourself, not other's, not money and in a few short months of summer, be ready for winter. A friend of mine once told me, you're the only person I know, who can be forgotten about, dropped in the forest, and when I come back in 15 months... You have a small 2 story home, table chairs, bed, shower.. MABY a pool.. Eating and living well. God bless you all, in the name of Jesus...

You bring me peace and knowledge.... Thank you.

Put a little pine pitch resin in the groove before and it will be water tight.

Amazing. Thank you for your time and patience. Greetings from Virginia!.. amazing what you can do with a SAK!

Wow. Das ist in diesem Jahr meine wohl persönlich beste Kanal-Entdeckung. Selten so viel gelernt rund um das Schweizer Messer. Mir war dies bis dahin nicht bewusst wie dieses Tool einem in einer vielleicht möglichen Not-Situation gute Dienste leisten kann. Alleine schon die anschaulichen Erklärungen mit den beiden zu vernähenden Musterteilen einfach klasse. Ähnlich wie bereits in dem Video wo es um das schärfen der Schere gegangen war. Eine tolle und wichtige Erklärung die das Scherschneiden behandelt und worauf man hier unbedingt achten muss. Ich freue mich schon wenn mein erstes Victorinox die Woche eintrifft. Vielen Dank für diese tollen Videos.

Really enjoy your love for the Swiss army knife.

Looks like a great project to make on holidays! Great tips, I love the way you connected many of earlier ideas there. Aren't you afraid that your SAK might get broken with some tasks? Early Merry Christmas!

I always find myself shouting „Hello Felix“ in your intro😅 Mach wiiter so, Felix! Bisch eifach de Hammer.

Can't help but to smile! Thanks for the tips and tricks and the joy you put into your labor.

Thank you Mr Felix. Your videos are much much appreciated and enjoyed

Respekt! Das war echt ein hartes Stück Arbeit! Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen ;o)

Hi Felix, interesting technique, I just hope the parts fit and you get dry! Thanks for the video!

I just started to look at this channel and i already love this guys energy

Felix Immler: The man with the grip strength of 1000 gorillas! 😉 My father has carried one of these SA knives on his belt for the last 50 years - from the day he got married until now (it was a wedding gift from my mother), your channel keeps reminding me of why I need to get one and learn to use it properly.

Well done Felix , that was one of the most difficult task that you have done on RU-vid. Could still be a useful skill in a survival situation even if the cup leaks🙂

Always a lot of fun to watch your Videos. Great project, when sitting alone in the woods, watching the fire and to carve this project. Thank you, and Frohe Weihnachten, wie wir hier sagen . Fill in a Sixpack of beer and it doesn't not matter if it is proof or not.

We all love your videos!!

Interesting. I enjoy your sense of humor!

What a great weekend project. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into it. I like this one as it uses alot of the past tips and tricks videos in an application use.

Thanks for this. I assume you could just keep carving in deeper with maybe a longer knife if one didn’t want to have to cut through the bottom

"Persistent" That's the best word to describe our friend, Felix. We shall see you two weeks, and drink a toast to you with your fully sealed cup! 🤤 👍

Give this man a victorinox and he can conquer the world! Great video felix!

Жесть то какая!!! Thanks!

The only thing I was thinking through the video was “where I can find a nice jacket like that”

The world loves him for what he is doing and the way he explaines.

Felix, thank You for your Time I appreciate the Opportunity we have to watch as you teach us the incredible ability of the Swiss Army Knifes. I’ve almost watched all your videos and I once again thank You Mate for letting us share with you all the Ability we can access with this Knife

Would love to do this with some wood i have, but it's Acacia. That stuffs like steel.

Felix, can you follow up with the shrink cup now that a few weeks have passed? I'd like to see if it holds water now. Also, does storing the cup near a fire or fireplace help dry the cup faster?

Nice work! Felix always makes me smile.

Very clever way to seal the cup. Awesome 😎

He can stop a meteor with his SAK and prevent the dooms day.

We enjoyed that a lot during diner;) Interesting technique with the shrinking, but wouldn't the cup be prone to spiting when drying?

Wonderful job Felix, you work are very motivational and more important the smile that never washed away from your face so every time I see any video from your channel, it boosts my energy for a while.

Thank you felix. Informative, educational, very practical. Please keep the videos coming.

Pretty cool project Felix however since you’ve done it already I guess I won’t 🤣🤣 by the way, that knife is not the camper model, it has a hook. What model is it? I’m getting a camper for Christmas. Do I need to trade it in?😁 Great video. Thank you

That was great! What was the wood, you took?

This is such a cool way to make use of the SAK! I'm excited to try it out someday, thank you for the clear explanation!

OK....this was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!!

Wenn ich Dich nicht schon abonniert hätte, ich würde glatt wieder tun. Wie wäre es mal mit einem Vogelfutterhaus, nur mit dem SAK geschnitzt?

8:56 schindelimacher felix😂

Such a great idea ..thank you so much !

This guy just puts a smile on my face!

I always thought that the Swiss were a primitive people ......

Very nice cup! I never thought it could work so well!

Felix, I enjoy your videos. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us, keep it up!

I spent 25 years hand carving wooden spoons and kitchen goods for a living. I always carved green wood then dried it gently in a simple light bulb kiln. This was just a basic wooden plywood box with a top lined with foil insulation - wire rack at the top of the box - 4 standard shop light bulbs. If I wanted to slow the process I could unscrew one or two bulbs - moisture escaped through the gaps around the lid. It was a very basic setup but worked perfectly. You could tell when the wood was dry by the feel - warmth coming from the wood and by the sound when you knocked two pieces gently together.

This guy is the coolest! I like his videos

I wouldn't have believed it, but I saw it with my own eyes. Sir, you are extraordinary! And you have a delightful personality...extremely relaxing and entertaining video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow very nice patience and well done usage of a great tool and nice seeing a smiley face

This man has the purest hearth!!

This is really interesting! Thank you !

Thank you for sharing. You really demonstrated the capabilities of this blade .. subscribed

Holy smokes. I done greenwood crafting and this is the most amazing technique I've ever seen .
