Fun! I made that 5 minute wizard in just under an hour! Haha. Warning: Caricature carving can encourage and reinforce OCD tendencies.

Loved watching your take on this project. It's one of my favorites. I first tried it after watching Doug Linker's video and loved it. Great beginner project... speaking of Doug, I miss the Coffee & Carving videos. Loved listening to you two talk about carving and life. My fingers are crossed in hopes that you guys will the channel back up again, but until then thanks for your great videos. 👍🏻

That Badger state blades knive seems like it's cutting great 👍 I brought 3 of their blades for what the price of many good knifes sale for. The handle I made are a different method of making handles and stronger as my work is laminated, such as plywood, both of which are stronger than just wood. I built my for a better fit as many knives varieties are smaller than I like . I've tested my knives, and I believe they are good enough for my lifetime I'm trying this . You have slowed down your teaching, and it's more helpful to me . I have pre-order your book and also the carving magazine. Sure, having the steps by step will help someone begin such as myself. I'm confident I can be fairly good with some skill building Do you think that looks like Doug? I do. Thanks for your inspiration

Any chance of you using metric sizes as well as imperial most of the world understands mm, other than that great video

@AlecLaCasseArt Ай бұрын

I try to do that! Will do that next time! Might have to keep a conversation chart handy for this one!

Good detail for a noob like me! I like how the hat turned out! Any tips to cut the blank on the diagonal when you don't have power tools?

@AlecLaCasseArt Ай бұрын

Glad to hear! I guess you could use a hand coping saw!

@ShawnLove-ty9jd Ай бұрын

I find basswood has really straight grain and just splits pretty good. It's how I get mine done. Use a nice wide chisel and a mallet.

Wow what happends between 5:20 and 6:00 !? You remove a lot of material from each sides 😱 I started with a block of 1’’1/2 (maybe I did not understand correctly) so I have to remove a lot of wood to have a piece of wood whose looks like yours. You do it effortless 😅

@84Juli1 20 күн бұрын

I did the hat but the wood is very hard in one side. Does a woodcarver take care of the direction of the wood grain ? It take me 30 minutes to make the hat. It looks like a pencil but I broke the top of the hat when I have trying to give it a nice turn 😥 The hat is small now 😆

Alec there is no volume. I can't hear you. Everything is good now sorry.

It's working for me - perhaps you've muted your volume somehow?

Surely you are very skilled and know exactly what you are doing, but for beginners, please use a glove on the hand that holds the wood or your wood spirit will turn into a finger spirit😂. Beside this, thanks for the tutorial

@AlecLaCasseArt Ай бұрын

Yes! All beginners should wear a glove on their wood holding hand! Good reminder!

@bobrenda1618 Ай бұрын

Note that although Alec did not model safe beginner glove “hygiene” he did twice make good “do as I say” remarks. The safety police is always on duty so presenters must be on their best behavior! 😂
