Hi Kevin, Wonderful carving. I have really appreciated how your last two videos have highlighted professions in Newfoundland that have been such a vital part of our history. The fisherman and the woodsman. There has been many a Newfoundlander spend time in the lumber woods. Very hard work. Through your carvings you bring to light the hard working people they were and are. Thankyou.

Indeed, over the years we've seen Kevin create an entire village of Canadian characters and each one of them tells a story. Bravo

What a lovely character. I love the 6 inch figures. I'm still always amazed at how fast you rough out a figure. You keep inspiring me with your great imagination and technique.

Thanks Joe. I carved for a few craft shops for years. Trying to keep up with the demand thought me to be fast I guess

Hello Mr. Kevin sir. I have watched many of your videos and I was wondering if you made your own knives and how you made them. I would love to watch a video on that. It looks like a kitchen knife and and up grinding it to your preference of style?

@kevint8532 Жыл бұрын

Just curious on where you get your chunks of pine wood ? I have been carving like others basswood. No lumber yards close, only big box stores and best I could do would be 2x2 pine pieces but they don't look real carver friendly.

@KevinCoates98 Жыл бұрын

I get my pine from a Home Hardware store. They don't carry a whole lot of the 2" pine. It's not all good carving wood. I pick through it to find the best of it. It's hard to find a good selection of pine that's good for carving here where I live

Here, I just received my fillet knife. It has a single bevel, will it be necessary to make it a double bevel? And what size should it be shortened for 2"x2" blocks. thanks for your advices

@KevinCoates98 Жыл бұрын

Mine are a 2.5” and a 3.5”. These are not great to use for detail. They are best for roughing. As for bevel, I take mine from both sides but it probably doesn’t matter

Thank you. The couple fish knives I use are maybe 50yrs old. I like them for roughing out. You can remove wood pretty quickly with them. As for selling them it never even entered my mind but they would be great for anyone who likes a big knife
