@@AlecLaCasseArt I watch most of your vids always cool they definitely helped me improve on my whittling keep up the great work

[@christopherharrison6724]

A new sport chainmail carving I’d pay to watch that😂

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

😂😂🤣

[@bobrenda1618]

When it comes to getting that point for the hat I’m very happy I have my adzes.

[@westbsa7424]

[@stormbringer_7774]

I learned that when using gouges and v tools, one must always wear a glove on the non dominant hand. As my wife used to say, a gouge in the hand is worth 9 hours in A&E!😂🙌🇬🇧 I’d a mishap recently but like evil dead, I live, still!!🤪

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

This is true!! The gouges and v-tools will get you when whittling !!

[@andrewgward7]

I have a chainmail metal glove, though I am worried that I will ruin the edge on my knife. So I mainly use my cloth gloves instead. They have cloth gloves that go all the way to the maximum protection too. thank you for the videos, they really help!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good point. You're welcome!

[@depewrob]

i am brand new to carving i am interested in maybe trying to carve fishing lurers do you or would you consider doing a demo thanks

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I will consider that, thanks!

[@mikemchenry4645]

I seen something like this on Doug Linker you tube video

[@ИванИван-л6я]

Это tonttu. Скандинавский гном дух защитник дома... Они очень скромные поэтому прячут глаза, и чрезвычайно сильные любят овсянку с маслом на Рождество которую ставят около двери, а в замен они оставляют подарки живут под землёй и прячутся от людей (скромные очень)

[@chucknowakowski6676]

I know you have paints in your links, I’m looking for a more transparent paint but with color options, any help?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I like to dilute mine with water!

[@chucknowakowski6676]

@@AlecLaCasseArtthat easy huh? I’m new to all this and haven’t really done anything worthy of painting yet, but I like more of a stain look, then solid paint. If I understand correctly, the paints you have a link for, cut with how much water?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

@@chucknowakowski6676 you can’t dilute them too much otherwise they fall apart but I use 2parts water and 1 part paint and that seems to hold up pretty well!

[@chucknowakowski6676]

Thanks for the help!

[@chucknowakowski6676]

And I didn’t watch the whole vid till now😂😀🤣 sorry bout the redundant questions

[@ryanini999]

Elves don't have beards, everybody knows that
