Carving a Little Handyman

[@chuckfisher1351]

Kevin, I saw a movie once where these puppets came to life. If these guys do, you'll have no plumbing issues😄. They look like they know what they're doing. You never cease to amaze me!!!

[@KevinCoates98]

I wish they would lol 😆 . I would make a fortune. Thank you

[@dougLinker]

Love it -we were just talking about a guy with a pipe wrench on our livestream Sunday so this is perfect

[@KevinCoates98]

Doug you know what they say about great minds lol. I didn’t get to watch your livestream yet. I’ve thought about one of these for awhile now. I had an uncle who was a plumber. He wore the blue coveralls and had this big pipe wrench. I had another comment on this carving and he said he did a similar one about a month ago. This must be pipe wrench month. 😆

2 in a row. I havent even had a chance to try the salesman and here's another great one. Love them all Kevin, thank for sharing.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you Joe. I don’t usually get much spare time so I have to take advantage when I do

[@blackpanther7727]

Watching you carve is so relaxing! I enjoy each of your projects. Thanks for this video!!!

[@KevinCoates98]

Glad you enjoy them. Thank you

[@randybradley7427]

Man you make it all look so easy. I don't have a set of voices or v tools. But they seem to make some cuts easier. Keep up the great videos.

Thank you. I may have done something similar over the years. I have done probably 10,000 carvings or more over the years. Take a look at my Facebook page Kevin Coates Wood Carving. You may see something there

[@hughtempleton8640]

Fantastic carving ❤

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@tomstadnyk546]

Was it me! Or could anyone else smell the pine with each knife cut?

[@KevinCoates98]

I sure can lol

[@bhteague4057]

What is the brand and length of that long knife. Great to watch like always.

[@KevinCoates98]

It’s an Occ knife. 2 1/4” blade. Thanks for watching

[@brucekearley8971]

Great carving Kevin😊. As always I am amazed at the detail & creativity of your work & art. I noticed your use of gouges in this carving. I have been trying to use gouges also. What size gouges did you use? The pipe wrench is a wonderful added touch. Was it difficult to carve a piece that small? I always look forward to your videos.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks Bruce. I'm not sure the size but they're not very big. Maybe 1/4"-1/3". That's a set I bought when I first started carving

[@markmoorhead1442]

Every time I watch one of your videos I wonder what kind of wood you used. It seems to be somewhat harder than basswood but easy to work with, at least under your knife. Can you tell us what type it is? Fascinating to watch you work, good job on your carving and the videos. Great camera angles.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you Mark. It’s white pine. For the most part it’s pretty good to carve but I get the occasional piece that’s not that great to work with

[@1911-Loaded]

Oh my. I have to send you a picture of what I carved the other day. Such a coincidence I carved the same thing about a month ago.

[@KevinCoates98]

I’ve been thinking about one like this for awhile. I had an uncle who was a plumber. I always remember the big pipe wrench he had. Would love to see the one you carved

[@gw6797]

Love your videos Kevin. Are you based in the US or uk and if so where do you buy your White Pine? Cheers Graeme

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you. I live on the east coast of Canada. I get my pine at a Home Hardware store.

[@Whitebear80]

What type of wood are you using?

[@KevinCoates98]

White pine

[@umbertosly9584]

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@slipperypete1248]

[@KevinCoates98]

I think it's 1/4"
