Been using hand tools and power tools my whole life..I’m 73. What I like so much about this video is your constant attention to safety. Great video..thank you!

Thank you for making all these great info and instructional videos. As a newbie to the hobby I’m reading a watching as much as I can. Why do you where a glove on one hand? And why not wear it on the holding hand instead of the cutting hand?

[@WoodcraftersCorner]

Thank YOU for watching! The reason for the glove is to prevent cuts from an accidental slip of the knife. Since that wouldn't happen to the hand holding the knife, I only use it on the hand most in danger 😆 Of course, a glove is only a back up, since good technique is most important. But especially when I was first starting, I went through quite a few bandaids.

Put the glove on the other hand!

Generally, you wear the glove on the hand that holds the wood.

I've been wearing a glove on my left hand

Do you have an easy design to get a scout of 11yrs old started doing the first three beginner cuts only??

I cant manage to get my knife deep into the wood and it is getting frustrating I have pine wood if that helps

[@ianrawlings2546]

My kids didn't know what to think watching me practice these cuts with a (small) kitchen knife and a carrot.

You're wearing the glove on the wrong hand.

Thanks very much for the safety information in the cutting technique explanations!! As an idiot I've hurt myself a lot. But I'm good at first aid?
