Thank you so much for your videos, I am working on making a set of tools to carve a bone handle knife I made on my own channel, and studying your carving videos (and tools) is helping me design my own tool kit. I have done some bone carving work, but nothing with this level of incised work, and I admire your skill with it. I will of course credit you with a shout out in my eventual tool making video, since you content has been so instrumental in my design of carving instruments! Quick question, is the flat chisel your prefered (non-powered) tool for general removal of background in relief work...i.e. in a hypothetical world where you did not have a dremel, would that be your second choice for bulk removal or is there another? Second question--have you ever used gunstock checkering tools on bone, or is that a bad idea? Thanks again, Adam.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the excellent video

I hate fake!!!!! The Indians did not flake!!!!! They did not hit a rock with another rock, antlers, whatever... I wish someone, anyone, would show the true way to make an arrowhead!!!! I travel all the west and see collections everywhere of fake, newly manufactured napped artifacts that are fake as sh** . My message is... if you don't know how to make a native tool then DONT MAKE IT!!!!

Love it❤❤❤❤

WOW, I love it 🔥

Wow now that is cool 😎

I am delighted! I have been cutting Quills for years, just found an affordable antique Quill cutter. Can hardly wait to receive it and put it in action. Thank you so much for this video!

Wow, I've never seen one of these working, excelent!, but I think there's a little suggest to consider and it's that the quill must be cured before being cut to make the nib last long

Super useful! Greetings from New Zealand!

What a tremendous work of art, all the way around that blade!! Beautiful

Yup. One of the many types of magic metal working wands a tradesman can weild. Ya had it right the first time.

I feel as though, if I were to get lost in the woods, this sorcerer of eld would safely guide me home.

Absolutely beautiful 👌

Love every video im such a big fan

You know. I really enjoy these. This is exactly the sort of stuff that I make too. Because one day, I will be tired of the thing I'm supposed to do, and suddenly I will see a distracting bit of something. This will snowball. And in the end I have something made the way it's meant to be for me. I have normal tools too, but the ones that I keep around and reach for the most are the ones that I made. And that's why I won't ever make a living from crafting, because I want to keep everything. Every piece is a friend.

Amazing craftsmanship as expected from this master carver, designer and even Wizard somedays 🧙‍♂️

Anybody can have a file! But not everyone can have that file!!

Nifty. So is being able to sharpen the chain with it. Also to always have it handy. I use to have an old leather purse that my stepfather used for his chainsaw. It carried a couple files, a guide, another screwdriver as well as the sparkplug wrench. I would put it in a box with my Jonsered saw and a container of mixed gas.

Brilliant!!!

Coolest guy in the woods 😎. 🙏🏻✌🏻

Thank you for your informative content. I wanted to decorate my own accouterments, not alot available on how to get started. Tools to get started n what is needed n what you can work toward

Deer antler pipe stem! Please lol.

What about using antler for a stem? I'm thinking of trying since I have the materials just don't know if it'll rot or spoil with all the moisture.

Amazing

Could you make the pipe stem from antler or would that rot or sour the smoke? I'm making some pipes but and want to incorporate antler but don't want to waste my time finding out it doesn't smoke well.

I remember kicking around with two stone carvers, two feathers, and david lamm and all of our pipes that were broken or just lost interest in we would throw them in creeks. Lol.

Slate is beautiful to work with. As long as you go slowly and treat it with love. Banded slate is a real satisfying material as well.

Im looking for a 3-inch piece of Ohio soapstone.

Nice.

excellent - as always

Nicely done !!!

Beautiful video ❤

Brooch….just for the moron that thinks it’s a Broach.

great design and it came out beautiful . intreasting how you shaped the sliver . Thanks Brain

Happy new year Brian! 🎉 May the gods give a lot of blessings for you and you family, i miss the long videos, a wonderful piece like always and with a lot of tips and tricks, thank you 🙏🏼

As usual another amazing outcome 👌 testament to your skills, you make it look so easy , when in fact that is a very fiddley thing to do 👍👍👍👍

Nicely done as usual. Even better to see the process.

That’s really clever, very effective looking.

Brian, I like the glue trick for sticking the paper down. I've also use double-sided tape to do the same thing. Nicely done as always! :)

Ah yes. The ball peen hammer. Because you never know when you might need to peen some balls! Great work as usual and very interesting to watch you at work in the creative process. Happy New Year Brian! Best to Mary Beth.

Beautiful Brian!!

Another beautiful piece!

Cool

Gorgeous!! Slàinte Mhath 🥃🙏🏻✌🏻

Wonderful as always. I like the antler hammer, interesting! I can see how that would be useful.

Brian I LOVE the bone handle of your jeweler’s saw! Is that a deer leg bone?

First👍👍

I must say I often wondered what it was, and my mind had made a few assumptions but, an excellent holder for spectacles👍🙂

Have a moose antler I have been wanting to do something with for awhile, but still brainstorming

Watched but never commented👍 awesome work Mr. Brian🙂
