Ok, I thought I was trippin' for a second there. I had to go back and confirm that your hand tat was relatively new and that I hadn't just been missing it all this time. 😅 Another great carving video! Thanks for the information!

[@JohnnyTheLayton]

😆 🤣 yeah, mee tattoo. I do that from time to time! 😀

[@reginaoatley2767]

@@JohnnyTheLayton good because I did the Grinch one..I made 5 and sold them all at the flea market here. It helped me get partial elec money. I am partially paralyzed and I can carve in bed... ❤️

[@JohnnyTheLayton]

[@GREGPARKER-hn1wu]

[@reginaoatley2767]

What wood are you using?

[@JohnnyTheLayton]

@reginaoatley2767 I'm using basswood! You can get it on Amazon, or if your in the US, Loesshillssawmill.com

[@reginaoatley2767]

My gouges feel dull but I admit I am not used to using them. They are new, from harbor freight. They were given to me. I tried them but it feels like it doesn't cut like my blade. 🤷. They feel "cheap". Hard to work with...any advice?

[@JohnnyTheLayton]

@reginaoatley2767 harbor freight isn't a great source for carving tools. I would think they likely need to be sharpened prior to use, a lot of carving tools come unsharpened.

[@reginaoatley2767]

@@JohnnyTheLayton ok ..this is what I thought. I will watch your video on making those tools for $5. I appreciate your tutorials. Easy to listen too. Calming.

[@JohnnyTheLayton]

@reginaoatley2767 I'm appreciate you saying that! Thanks!
