My wife loves your angels. Thanks for sharing.

[@whittling]

My pleasure, I'm happy to hear that!

[@andrewgward7]

This is such a good carving to give as a gift! I carved one for my mom in remembrance of my grandma. Sadly my grandma passed in 2020😥, and this was the perfect carving for remembering my mamaw. She always loved angels, whether glass, wood, or painting. So thank you.

[@whittling]

Hi Andrew! I want to thank you for sharing this heart-warming story. I'm sure your handmade gift has brought some comfort to your mom. 🙏

Great Job Jack👍 I'll definitely be watching the next one mate. Cheers ✌️

[@whittling]

Thanks! I posted some pictures of the original angel carving before Christmas and received some requests for a tutorial, so here we are. Cheers!

[@catwallesen9408]

Hi, I saw your video and I have to say a few positive comments for you. Your voice was calm and relaxing. Your video didn't have music and it was very much appreciated, I found myself more focused to the end with out the loud noise. I was able to follow your tutorial. I actually learned what my problem area was (the triangle cut). I have 8 unfinished carvings that needed those cuts and I am able to complete them now. Thank you again and not sure when video 2 will come along. Can you please let me know? Cheers ~•~

[@whittling]

Hello Cat! I appreciate your kind words very much! The triangle cut is a very useful technique, I use it often. Part 2 will be posted within the next few days. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! Cheers!

Had a go at the Valentine's Gnome " she who must be obeyed " loves it and has it in her display cabinet , I started having a go just before Christmas with a view to making a Nativity for my granddaughter for this coming Christmas so your Angel is next on my list here in Guernsey in the Channel Islands , loving your tutorials .

[@whittling]

Hello Cousin Peter! LOL! Happy to hear that your wife is pleased with your Gnome. Sunni liked my Gnome ... until I antiqued it. I have a daughter living in the UK and look forward to visiting. Thanks for your interest and support. Cheers!

[@solidworkstips]

Really nice design. Good tutorial video. Looking forward to watching part two, and trying my hand at one of these angels!

[@whittling]

Hi Brandon! Part 2 will be posted today and Part 3 has been recorded and is in the editing process. Thanks for your comment!

[@dave0sparky0matkin]

@CousinJackCarves I seem to be struggling with the measurements. Would you mind giving me a clear face on image of your plan? Ill watch again and try and get it sorted. Thanks for sharing though!

[@whittling]

Hi Dave! Sorry for the confusion, the carving I did for the video was a bit larger than my original one. I just sent a message with the picture of the Angle drawing/pattern for you. Happy carving!

[@tonylarson7300]

[@barryfigel9957]

It don't come with the drawings though

[@whittling]

That's correct, it comes with graph paper that comes in handy for making drawings.@@barryfigel9957

[@debbiemcdevitt3731]

Cousin Jack I am trying to draw the angel on my wood and it is not adding up are you sure that your basswood was 2 1/4" long? It dosent seem long enough when you start laying out all the 1/2" measurments from the top.

[@whittling]

Hi Debbie! Yes, the height is 21/4". We'll be bringing the chin down a little more in the next step. The hands will be shortened a bit as well. Hope this helps.

[@andrewgward7]

I just had a question. It's about the utility knife you showed in the beginning of the video, what kind of blade does it have? Does it have the 4 notches, or the two notches on the top?

[@whittling]

Hi Andrew, I use the Lenox Gold blades with the four notches because it allows for more blade length than the regular two notch blades. Thanks for your question.

[@adriano4848]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Is this pattern available somewhere in printable version?

[@whittling]

My pleasure Adrian. I don’t have a printable pattern to share. I have posted some other conceptual drawings (patterns) under the “Community” tab here on my KZbin channel.

[@stephenwhittier6439]

👍

[@whittling]

Thanks!

[@patriclop2pl]

Awesome tutorial! Beautiful angel! ❤️ May ask what did you use to wrap your knives?

[@whittling]

Thank you Patricia! I use a tennis racket grip material on my knife handles. I made a video "How To Enhance Your Carving Experience." It shows what I use and how to apply it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXrPgqyFhtamY5I

[@patriclop2pl]

@@whittling Thank you for the speedy response. I’ll check the link.

[@whittling]

@@patriclop2pl My pleasure, I really love the overgrip wrap, best I've used.

[@jotocs3]

just too long to watch

[@whittling]

I understand, fortunately KZbin enables viewers to speed up the video or even skip ahead if desired.
