The Possible Impossible Whittle -Brain Teaser Tutorial 

Finally got my books right. Turns out, it's a lot harder to carve a 1x1 than a 2x2. Been loving watching your videos and the whole YT carving community. Just started on Christmas when the family got me some basswood and a knife. I'm 50 and plan to hike the Appalachian Trail, or part of, with my daughter next year. Leaving wood spirits along 2200 miles from Georgia to Maine is the goal. Thank you Doug

You're the man Doug. It's like Christmas morning every time I see a new Linker video. Keep it up!

Glad to hear you're safe, happy, & healthy. I got worried yesterday not seeing you. ❤️ With no explanation for your disappearance I am truly glad you're doing well.

Thank you so much Doug! Loved to hear “ I had fun again”! Great to See you again! Appreciate you! Thanks🙏

Wonderful Doug ..Have done a few of these in my lifetime ..very fun ..Thank you Doug for sharing

Thanks Doug I made one for my wife and couldn't wait to give it to her. She was tickled that I would make something cute and "romantic". Married 41 years, you're never too old to do the little things to make them smile!

Thank you Doug Watching your wood carving videos reminds me of my Uncle. He did every thing with just a pocket knife.. He made the ball inside the cage, chains. etc.

Fun, but brilliant as always Doug. Keep the videos coming love them all.

Thank you so much for your excellent videos. I was given a whittling "kit" for Christmas and this video of your inspired me to make a pair of hearts on an arrow for my wife for Valentines Day. Just finished it and all went well. Hope she likes it, it's our 50th wedding anniversary this year! Keep the videos coming and thanks again.

Huh, I never knew you could do that very cool. I learned something new today 😉 Thanks Doug 😊

Hey Doug. I made this impossible whittle. I used bass wood for the spinner and used a harder wood for the stick. I used a pear tree branch and a maple tree branch. I love making these. Thanks for the video.

"Cupid is out killing people"... 🤣 Too funny Doug! Great video as always.

Thanks Doug, still loving your work.

Really cute and clever! Greetings from the West Coast 🇨🇦

Good reason to buy some basswood. That is a cute little project❤

Hey Doug. I’m a longtime subscriber and love your work. I wanted to thank you for doing all the small whittle projects because they are not only fun but they are giving me tons of practice using my knives and practicing different cuts. Thanks again.

I have been enjoying your channel for years now, and you never fail to impress. Love everything you do, thanks for all you do to share and teach and enjoy the outdoors 🤠 Mike

Been watching your work since Xmas and did this carving this week. I love what you are doing, sent a coffee donation as I would like to see more! Thanks for making this an enjoyable new hobby, which I have been wanting to do for some time. All the best!

Cleverness made beautiful and entertaining. Always grateful for sharing your talented carving.

Very cool! I love it! ❤️ Thank you for the demonstration and information. All the best 👍 Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 👌

That was a neat little project- will have to try and make one for my Granddaughter this valentines day!

Then you'll have a broken heart. Wah Wah.... LOL This was cool! Nice thing to wake up to. Thanks Doug!!

Thank you Doug. Your videos are a delight and an inspiration. I Greatly appreciate the things you do.

Dear Doug, greetings again from the Eifel region (germany), again a very nice carving video!

Another great video. I'm going to try this right now. I love the idea of adding names to the hearts.

Hey Doug, thanks for yet another amazing video, just completed one for my wife (5 hearts, myself, our kids and our pets). Was wondering if I could save myself some hassle in the future and painted at least the hearts before combining.

WOW !!! That's a lot of fun and sure my MRS will love that. Thanks buddy.

Doug you’re such a consummate craftsman and I enjoy your videos so much!!! I’m so happy that you’re going camping with a certain someone soon!!! It’s been too long...

Love it! Thanks Doug.

Thanks for sharing that cool trick Doug 😎👍🏼

Brilliant, thanks Doug. I also liked the Easter bunny in the egg...

I remember the old video and forgot it. I had just started carving. I will do this now, have the wood and a small bandsaw. Was doing a lot with a copping saw before. Also want to say thanks for the video’s. Your 5 minute wizard is so much fun, I have carved hundreds out of sticks, basswood and yes even pencils😂

Very cool project, I'll have to give this one a try sometime.

Very good job Doug look very nice.

Fun one, I just started on the hearts, will have to fudge some basswood for the arrow portion.

Very cool project Doug. Thanks for sharing Take care Cheers Harold

Hey Sir Doug. Thx for the vid. ✌ always good to hear from you.

Happy New Year. Thanks for the fun and inspiration.

Very cool idea! Another to add to my saved list.

Lol..this is great👍🏽 Thanks for the interesting whittle Doug!

Thanks, I've made quite of few of these since I seen you do it a few years back. . My lastest is a round ( I call a washer) and made the straight look like a screw driver. Thanks again. 👍

Thank you , Mr Doug . 🐺

Amazing Doug thank you ❤! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Thanks Doug, that's fun. Awesome channel

Great video young man and I will be doing this soon

Woohoo it’s a new Linker video. Much appreciated as always 😎

Thanks for sharing your secret with us Doug! 👍😁👍😁

Thanks for everything. Love it.

awesome, doug. thanks. been planning on doing one of these for my wife for valentine's day. you are so skilled and must have incredibly strong hands and sharp blades. expert question: i just got a flexcut vtool. the end appears to be magnetized. am i crazy? well, i'm probably crazy, but am i crazy for thinking the end is magnetized?

I can’t wait to try this one. I need a band saw though.

Cool videos thank you

Thanks man, really cool stuff.

thank you for your videos. in one you showed a small adjustable measuring device. please what was the name and where to find? thank you

How beautiful!! Any suggestions on how to do these if we don’t have the equipment with the saw?

As always, I enjoy your videos.

Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

Yeah!🥳 Doug time💚🇬🇧🌱

Thank you

Gonna get my Grankids to try and get this apart after Alex carves something up😆

Hi Mr Doug … Iam new to your channel , I love you work you are so talented You may already have a video, but I was wondering if you could do a simple fish? I’ve just recently started trying to whittle and carve and I would love to do a fish. In memory of my son. Ty kiM

So neat pretty cool happy Valentine’s Day

Hi Doug, great little keepsake for Valentines. Quick one, i noted when you cut the 2 slices for the hearts you got little or no fuzz on the cut. What TPI have you got on your blade? My blade is sharp but leaves fuzz every time...but only on basswood. Thanks.

Hello! WoW! Wow! You have an interesting channel. You are doing great. I wish you prosperity and success! God bless you and all your family! Good luck! 🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒

Paint before or after assembly

Cool Doug

Great video Doug thanks does it have to be basswood could it be pine wood?

I was just wondering what’s the best place for me to buy basswood blocks if I want to try whittling

Thanks!

I was thinking it's about time for the valentine whittle!

Going to have to make one of those for my granddaughter

Can warm water be used to reduce soaking time?

So cool!

Doug that was cute.

Your stuff is always so fun! That’s why you continue to be one of my favorite teachers. Thank you.

Is this hot water or cold ?

How neat ❤

Awesome !!! 🏹🏹

Facsinating!

Where's a good place to find Basswood in Ontario? I just moved to Smiths Falls, so my only known source at the moment is Lee Valley and those little blocks are pricey 😁

Will do

I have the same scrap paper.

❤❤❤❤

i just made a fidget spinner of wood and water. no one should be this powerful🗿

These arrows will surely make them quiver with joy.

Rad!

👍👋

Are the four hearts on the arrow for our polygamist friends?

That's a Awesome idea!! Gonna give it a try and thanks for the idea .. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
