Hi everyone, just want to clarify that the best comment that i'll choose for the give away doesn't necessarily have to include a pigeon. but if you have any funny or cool ideas that are related, that would be great too. After a week or so I will reply the winner and pin his comment.
bravo pour vos 50000 abonnées, c''est amplement mérité. J'ai une idée qui pourrait peut être vous intéresser: un objet fort utile pour ces temps de fortes chaleurs - près de l’âtre - Un ventilateur manuel portatif . Des pâles gravés, 2 engrenages à 90° maintenus sur une structure en cuivre ou laiton gravée aussi , et une belle manivelle. Un support ou une poignée en bois. Je pense que ça pourrait être un projet sympa. Vive le France, vive les frites et les baguettes
You know, you could always give in and make a pigeon wooden clock. Like, maybe buy a working clock mechanism and assemble it inside a mechanically pecking pigeon.
It's not solely because of what you do on the channel mate, that keeps us coming back for more. It's You. The 54,142 subscribers you have; as of this second, are here because of you. The way you present what you do. The Honesty in which you offer your work. And the uniqueness of the things you've created thus far. I'm late to the game but I'm glad I found you when I did and have enjoyed each video you've created and edited so perfectly. It's a True Honor to keep watching. Also, I absolutely Love the pigeon upside down. ..it's true poetic irony. I'm glad you've kept it. Anyhow thanks mate..(Just wanted to add, I DIDN"T type that message because of the competition. .I meant it).
My grandfather is a world champion roller pigeon flyer. Not a very common sport, but it is something to watch a bunch of pigeons summersaulting in the air. It's something he's worked hard at for many years and now he has a room full of pigeon trophies. He's the kind of person that genuinely appreciates the value of hard work and craftsmanship. He would love your work if I could get him to watch some RU-vid videos. Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers, you certainly deserve it.
Great job! I think it would be interesting to learn a bit about you in one of your videos. Could you give us a little “Day in the Life” introduction? Your background of education/work, where you live, do you have a family, that kinda stuff. Looking forward to more great videos. And you’ve inspired me to get a couple gravers and fancy things up a bit!
"You have to accept the fact that sometimes you are the pigeon and sometimes you are the statue." Claude Chabrol i admire your work heavily.. and would be honored to own the thumbs up saw.. all the best and on to 100.000 subscribers!
Next challenge, you should try carving a 3D version of the pigeon! I know you mostly do engravings, but your carving was so cool in the last video. I'd love to see what you could do with a full blown sculpture! :)
I really like the work you did on the Play button, but the thumbs-up-saw is inspired. What a brilliant idea, and how nice of you to make it for one of us! I don't believe I could ever offer a comment worthy of such an award, so I'll just mention my favourite pigeon fact: the reason there's so many different colourations of pigeons in towns and cities is because they used to be prized as pets and kept for food by the poor. Humans complain about pigeons moving into cities and "taking over" from the native birds, but the humble pigeon is only there because we put them there!
You are an inspiration to us all Uri. Not just your works, but also the loving efforts that you share with us as you create these beautiful works of art. You seem such a kind and gentle soul who is able to break through the shyness to share a piece of your soul with the world. Your videos never fail to send me striding pigeon toed into my wood shop to create furniture that pales in comparison to your engravings. I salute you and, as always, Semper Fi.
I live near a small town based in the south of germany. It has a beautiful clocktower in the middle of it and that one has small little stores in a building built around it. In this town, near that clock tower, I come every day after school for a little bit and feed and draw the many pigeons that are sometimes landing here. They are wonderful little creatures and I adore that color play on their feathers. Those grey creatures that, when light hits them at the right angle, have those beautiful green and magenta colors. Pigeons are just beautiful animals...
I like that the pigeon is this common bird found all over cities and it's a very "basic" bird, it kind of reflects on how you are able to make amazing things with basic tools in a very small and basic workshops. It feels very down to earth and inspiring. Das ist gut! Congrats to 50k subs, cheers from Sweden!
Pigeons are like men, we walk around all day long pecking at each other, not bothering to stop and focus on the real things of live like all the doves that just want to be loved. I really like this vid and am really looking forward to your next ones!
I bred a messenger pigeon with a woodpecker. it delivers the message, and it knocks on the door when it gets there. Also, your cats are gorgeous. mine like to hang around the workshop too.
I'm just going to tell a strange dream I had several years ago: We were driving in a car, I was sitting in the back seat. We got stuck in traffic and I looked outside, there I saw pigeons enjoying a feast (lots of garbage along the road). I was looking at them, admiring them and suddenly... I was a pigeon too and was eating with them! I can't recall how long ago I dreamt it, but it is surely more than 5 years ago, maybe 10?? Thank you for all the amazing projects so far, I hope there are a lot more to come! Greetings from Belgium, Jan
Loved your work (as usual!) on the Play button Uri! Here's my pigeon story. My husband, one of our sons and I were at a park nearby. Our son was in his early teens. Anyhow, we were feeding the birds that reside there and my son decides to start teasing this pigeon by holding out a piece of bread then pulling it away when the bird flew to get it. Finally, the bird gets fed up and smacks my son in the face with one of his wings! It was priceless! Wish we had pictures of it! :)
Since watching all these videos of you engraving has a 18th century feel, here's a tinkered-with verse from 1725: Now he sings of Uri Tuchman Sitting in the Chimney-Corner Eating of a Christmas pye, Putting in his thumb, Oh fie! Putting in, Oh fie! his Thumb, Pulling out, Oh strange! a Pidgeon! Watching this channel swell from a few thousand to 50k subs was a treat! Congrats!
I personally think it would be really amazing if you could create some sort of a Victorian style mechanical pigeon that functions kind of like those little birds inside of the antique 18th century bird music boxes. It would especially look rather beautiful with all the scrollwork and engraving with the filigree designs that you perform. The art that you engrave is truly a wonderful masterpiece in my eyes and I actually want to learn how to draw and engrave designs like that. Plus I watch all of your videos and it just amazes me on how beautiful your creations are and all the thought and work you put it on every detail rather it be big or small and how you take your time. You truly are a craftsman and an artist.
50K, Well done! Not only are you entertaining; watching you work inspires me to go into my own garage and make my own embellished hammers and tools, and I bet I am not the only one.
Play button looks great. A nice addition to your workshop. As for pigeons, I don’t know about yours, but my cats hate them, they sit by the window and shout at them when in the garden, good fun to watch! Congrats on the 50k subs!
The first video i watched was the mechanical pencil, and then i binge watched the rest of your videos at like 3 in the morning. There is something so satisfying watching you engrave stuff.
Uri, you're such a fantastic character ! Your videos are a joy to watch because your style is so "out of this world" ! Thank YOU so much and congratulations for 50k
You’re going to be swimming in subscribers. You’re relatable, you make awesome engravings and you do it with hand tools. You’re a heck of a craftsman. But I care most about getting to see more of how you to hammer and chisel engraving because it helps me learn
Last November I decided to build my own muzzleloading flintlock rifle from a kit. I'd never built anything of such complexity or scope before, and spent the month learning (painfully, painstakingly, and expensively) about carpentry, metalworking, machining, and yes, engraving. During that month there were two rock doves that apparently took to nesting in the gravel near my driveway. About the time I was done with the project, I noticed the doves had left. I hope those little guys did okay.
I have never been a huge fan of pigeons. I have a pale yellow convertible with a black rag top. I also have grape and raspberry plants in my garden. We hav many pigeons and love birds in my area. Needless to say what happens to my car in the summer if I don’t put it in the garage. Hurray for your channel, you are a funny genius with your ideas! Love your videos. Thank you!
I once saw 3 city guard writing up a form as a pigeon flew to their feet. I swear they were giving him a speeding ticket. Thus is the competance of Krakow City Guard! Another beautiful engraving, Uri. Love your channel! Iv'e heard of Pigeon tools... they don't make such an elegant.... albeit short, saw! :) I love it!
It's not insanity that has propelled you to success. You offer a great deal of humor and skill. Of course, your cat made my decision to subscribe much easier.
I'm not sure, but something about your videos is just the perfect blend for me. The beautiful work you do combined with your jokes makes you very unique. I also love learning your different techniques as you have brought this secluded world of engraving and wood working to such a large audience. I have no complaints with your videos and hope to see your channel grow as your current videos are excellent. P.S. - You inspired me to try engraving on a kiridashi knife I made and while it didn't come out as good as your work, it made a very nice touch to it. Thank you
I don't know much about pigeons unfortunately but I do find your work truly inspiring and I thank you for that. God Bless my friend and here's to the next 50k.
That tiny thumb saw is so cute...i'm so happy for you that you reached 50000 subscribers. Your skills and your craftmanship are out of this world...or out of time. Maybe a time traveler? congratulations!
I would love to see you engrave a landscape into brass. I think there is a lot of potential places to make a focal point of a pigeon and i think the pigeon could be stylized with the scroll work engraving style that you're well known for. Or Create a painted or engraved portrait of your cats in fancy suits with pigeon motifs all around the frame or as a pigeon pendent on the cats collar Congrats on the 50k subs! Your videos and calm demeanor with subtle humor inspires me to try engraving, I've done some things to knife handles mostly but i'm looking into getting chisels too! I wish you much more future success Uri, take it easy~
Too many people are Pigeon in now, and Toucan bet Owl be swept away. But there is one Cardinal rule, "No harm no fowl." Hopefully Ibis seeing you all, Wren I Robin this saw! Congratulations on the 50k, you deserve it!
That play button is very nice. How about adding your name and a couple of brass inlaid pigeons to jazz it up some more? Cheers to your continued success Uri. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these videos.
I'm from New York, I have been spreading your videos everywhere, friends, family, facebook, chat rooms, bars, I've even been sending links to your videos via pigeon. And trust me, we've got a lot of pigeons. Uri, my name's Kevin, I just wanted to say how creative and dedicated you are. Not only is the work you do beautiful, but it's all done by hand, and you make it look so easy. You're going to have a lot more than 50k subscribers one day, I promise.
Uri Tuchman is the most misterious youtuber ever, is channel was opened far back in 2008 but he started sharing his incredible craft knowledge only 8 moths ago. A legend says that the misterious man directly comes from the renaissance, he was the Craftman for the noble house of Von Tuchmans, the logo of wich was a Royal Pigeon, and his ispiring Muse is Obviously a pretty Cat. He still contacs is renaissance family trough the use of travelers pigeons, that use the engraved pigeon on the items as a postage stamp
Hi my name is Cole, so I have a good pigeon story. About a few months ago I found a little baby bird on the sidewalk when walking home from school and I looked around and didn’t see a nest or any other birds like the parents. So at first I didn’t know what to do and so I got my father to help me help the baby bird. So we got gloves and picked up the baby bird and brought it home and put it in a shoe box with cotton and a cloth. We feed the baby bird some worms and grubs till it grew up and at that time we figured out it was a pigeon. And the bird we named love because we had such a connection to it. It once came time to let it go so we went outside on a nice warm day and released the pigeon. It was sad but it was incredible what happened next. Love stuck around our house for the next few weeks and we would put out snacks for him to munch on. But as it got colder we saw Love less and less till he didn’t come back due to the cold weather. But it was a incredible time in my life and brought me closer to nature and me and my dad will never forget finding that little pigeon. So that is my story about me finding a little pigeon. I also love making things that’s why I subscribed to your channel. I restore old tools and build many things for my family for them to enjoy. I love your channel I hope you keep growing and thanks for the great content. - Cole
Pigoen nests are simple platforms of a few sticks and dung. The pre flegling birds are deliberately pushed out of the nest and onto the ground where it's parents feed it until it fledges. If you find a "baby" wild pigeon or dove on the ground, LEAVE IT ALONE!
@@robertlewis4666: while I agree in principle, I also figure it depends a bit on where you find it... a high-traffic sidewalk (I don't know if Cole's was high-traffic, but some are) seems dangerous for a baby bird, and it could easily be the case that absent an action like this, the bird would just get stepped on or whatever by a future passer-by... so... maybe express why it's good to leave it alone (as you did) without the reprimand for a well-meaning act of (intended, at least) kindness?
You inspire me to try new forms of art. The 50,000 subs are well deserved. Like the majestic pigeon, I bet your subscribers numbers will increase uncontrollably. I can't wait to see what you make when you hit 100,000!
Great video as always. May i suggest though that when you mark around the metal for it to fit into the piece of wood you should create a slight inwards angle around the edge of the metal and then mark and cut out the slot, this creates a wedge which means when you hammer it home you will have an even tighter fit.
In much the same way that a homing pigeon finds its way back to its home base i can't help but keep finding my way back to your videos. I imagine it has something to do with magnetic fields.
"I won't forget to remember you!" (Pigeon lady) I'm glad you got yourself a proper engraving block! It's impressive you could do it with just a regular bench vise. Now your work will be that much greater using the right tools for the job
I love watching your videos! My favorite pigeon story involves my students. Every year we would take our class to the Cincinnati Zoo which was home to the world's last passenger pigeon Martha, which died on September 1, 1914. I would share this factoid with my students and jokingly tell them that passenger pigeons got their name because they were so large people could ride around on them like Pegasus. Being young and naive they believed me, and they were amazed to think that once there were pigeons so large people could fly around on them! Imagine...
Thank you for posting the most charming series of videos on RU-vid (and I have checked them all - I completed RU-vid this morning). I presume your crest (logo) is of a wood pigeon? It would seem appropriate. I particularly like how approachable the format is without a fortunes worth of specialist equipment - I have no excuses not to have a go.
Congratulations on the 50,000 subs Uri, well deserved and well earned 😃👍 It'll be 500,000 before you know it 😀 And very nice job on the play button, it came out looking wonderful 👌
Watching you create is incredibly cathartic. Maybe your next build could be avian themed. Anyways, keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the next video.
I tried to think of a pigeon poop joke but couldn't come up with anything. So, I'll just tell you I think your work is amazing. As I watched this video I enjoyed how it changed from an engraved button to the finished plaque. Whether I win or lose I'll keep watching. Keep up the good work!
