I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary fluff to this video. Concise but not dry.

Hi from Scotland. My name is Allan. I am a master carpenter and sculpture and really learned from your technique. I have found that you never stop learning no matter how long you have been working with wood. I have been working with wood for 46 years and I have loved every moment of it. Every one can do it, it just starts with the right attitude and technique. My Dad always said, practice, practice and practice. The first thing he taught me was how to sharpen a pencil and then how to sharpen tools and he made me practice by sharpening all the tools. It took ages to get the technique but now it is second nature. I do not even have to think about it. The sense of achievement you get when you design and construct/carve something is better than anything you can imagine. I don't drink or take drugs. I get my 'high' from working with reclaimed wood. It's now in my blood and try to teach others to do the same. The old crafts are dying and is being replaced by computer games and tictok videos. People have forgotten what it means to really create. Thank God for people like you and the rest of the people who share their skills on You tube to remind guys like me that I can still learn and am humble enough to keep learning new techniques. Thank you for sharing your passion with us all and yes I have subscribed and plan to watch all your videos to learn as much as possible. I have just recently bought 5 rusty hewing axes from Ebay and have restored them. They came in a box and they were wrapped in his wife's soiled underware!

I've heard it said that the axe is the most versatile and precise woodworking tool ever invented. I can believe it - look at all that amazing artwork and furniture they made before the days of lathes and power tools. Those awsome ships! All made with saws, adzes and axes...

This is an excellent tutorial. I believe you would make a fine instructor at most any subject you chose to teach. I have much more interest in making furniture, but I subscribed based on this video alone.

I love the shape of your axe. May I ask which axe it is? Edit: Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is definitely a show of comfort and relaxation in the work.

@@susanp.collins7834 it's great. I still don't really know what I'm doing. I'm YT educated with the spoon carving. I bought the wildlife hatchet off Amazon. I haven't even chopped off a finger tip yet which is great because I'm a guitar player and a nurse. 🤣 Thanks for asking and I hope you have a great day. ❤️

​@@jones_trees_and_treenI normally HATE background music but honestly, it's so chill and relaxed that I never noticed it until I read a comment saying they didn't like it. It's... chill.

I’m really annoyed with the sound mix, the music is to loud compared to your voice and to random it’s very out there . Need to come back another day when I got more focus

Sorry about that! I'll revisit it. The music was an afterthought, I'll turn the levels down a bit, should be easier to hear the narration when you watch it again.
