[@scrambledo231]

*SCRAMBLED O2??? SUB TO ME, SECOND CHANNEL IN THE WORKS!*

[@hidhshsj123]

hi love the videos please keep them going and the Chanel .

[@tubatom23]

You got, brother!!

[@b5maddog]

Done!

[@mattguyer]

Scrambled O2 What is this?

[@edyvanea]

Done!

[@pjhikes]

A fine addition to the cook kit for sure! Award for long distance cooking! :)

[@ChadMorgan709]

Nice spatula, nice basecamp video. Niceeeee.

[@joshbabb7470]

With the Grandfors Bruks, the music, the carving, the fire,and the camera angles I thought I was watching a Ray Mears production :)

[@MySelfReliance]

Now that's a spatula! Try using the knife as a scraper rather than a cutting edge. 90 degree using your off hand to hold the blade.

[@rickgreen9936]

First attempt...not bad, I think even Mr Outside would approve. Second and third time will be even better, soon a pro O.

[@BushtreckBoosh]

loved it. That spatula would make a nice mash paddle.

[@Dan-in-the-Wild]

Thanks for the video Scrambled O. Loved it.

[@doug9418]

Nicely done Mr O, and thanks for sharing.

[@desertfun4all650]

That's pretty sweet. Cant wait to see the rest of your utensils being carved. Keep up the great videos O. yOu da man

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sweet work dude, to get a finer finish i've learnt to take off finer & finer shavings whilst slowing the carving process down, and also to work with the grain in the wood rather then against it ~Peace~

[@lorisb1513]

Awesome carving work👍

[@billyblastoff7027]

You have progressed so much since your first years videos keep up the great work very entertaining.

[@dougLinker]

Be the grain young Martin

[@allorenz6591]

What a great idea, long handles, gotta like your approach to problem solving and getting help from your channel viewers !!!

[@twopedals]

Hey Scrambled O, another great video, thanks! I've found that using the spine of my knife as a scraper is great for knocking off those ridges without removing extra material, and you can get it pretty close to perfect with that. I thought it came out really well though!

[@nivekbd1807]

Are you kidding, that is bad ass! You took a LOG and turned it into a working cooking tool that looks great. Good job, now carve a fork to go with your spoon and spatula.... ;)

[@b5maddog]

Awesome spatula! Mine would have come out like a broken oar.

[@kennethangell1416]

Nice job. Looks pretty good

[@GreenBayOutdoors]

Nice work! Thank you for sharing. Love your vids.

[@showell2235]

You could make a fine witches brew with that spatula boy!!!!

[@RyanJKUS2012]

Cool idea. I love carving spoons and spatulas with longer handles for the same reason. Couple of quick suggestions. Split the round in half before you start carving. Then remove the pith (center "vein" in the wood). This will help prevent cracking as the carved object dries. When removing wood (axe and knife) from the handle, start at the end and just carve a few inches, then move up a few inches and blend those together, repeat along the full length. This really helps prevent those tear outs you experience. Check out videos from Ben Orford and Zed Outdoors on spoon carving. Going from a log to blank with an axe is no small feat. Keep up the great work.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Nice Spat!!

[@andrewovermyer617]

Glad the intro was short in this video🙏

[@isaacsipe8264]

yes! so awesome, really good content man, thanks for sharing!

[@alexwbanks70]

Good job O

[@WinStunSmith]

Like the idea of a long handle. I’ll be using that. If you make the bottom edge at a bit of an angle, you can make one that’s great getting into the corners of pots, for those meals that need constant stirring.

[@giovanniscaggiante6624]

i love your videos editing!

[@RodrigoFreitasRF]

Graet job, mate. Congratulations.

[@kutz522]

Hey scrambled, sweet looking spatula! That long handle seems like it will come in handy. It might be cool to carve a pot hook on the end of the handle so the spatula could serve dual purposes. Also on the topic of getting a smoother handle... it seems like you might be able to use the 90 degree spine on your knife to scrape away small bits of wood, almost like a cabinet scraper. Maybe try holding the knife at a 45 degree angle to the wood and scrape away until you take down the high spots and smooth out the surface a bit. I've never tried this, but it seems like it might work. Love the content! Keep up the great work!

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Nice job Bro! I really like the long version. I always carve kitchen size utensils, I hadn't thought to make a longer one. It is always so relaxing to sit in camp and carve things like this. BTW, Those are some fine tools you are working with. I have the GFB Small Forest Axe also (mine is stamped AS) like yours and it is one of my favorite tools of all time. Take care brother.

[@jameslane9918]

👍🇺🇸🐺⛺🔥🐻😎👺 nice-looking Sheltering camp

[@almollitor]

Great videography!

[@GSGSGSGS90]

nice background music :D

[@bushman4124]

about your handle feel the grain direction and u can use sand to sand it smooth and round, what we often do too if we have little time we lay the burning coals on the spatula and let it burn quick some material away and then use the knife to finish it off. but never cut towards your body, that has most of the time when you don't need it a bad ending, an other tip is invest in a small woodcarving knive, that makes you feel the grain direction better, when the restanse comes the you change direction, sorry for my bad English i am Dutch and living in Norway so mixing up is normal hahahaa ooh and try thinner layers to cut, you would think it takes longer but the upsit is most of the time the case. You always welcome to one of my woodcarving courses in Norway :)

[@BushBrother]

nicely done

[@davesskillet9235]

You could use a spoke shave plane for the finishing touches on you're handle, looks pretty good so far

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Looks good use a carpenter rasp for the finish work then cure it with beeswax

[@iaidohawk]

Where's that knife from? Fun video.

[@tomjones6479]

You did well, tip for the end just take your time, and take smaller bit off, slices not chunks. Helps me anyway

[@loukmanproust3740]

For spoon you Must take a "couteau croche " in french !😊

[@capturedbythepiratemorgan2650]

Man where's the Eldris I thought you were going to use it?!?! hahaha Nice work though. On the carving questions, to get the finish you are looking for it just takes time and patience. You have to really focus at picking a small piece of edge and work that off. Small short cuts and then you will be able to round it or square it up without taking off too much at a time. I tend to use my thumb on the spine a lot to control my speed and pressure, your thumb will get sore but thats what calluses are for haha. Looking forward to the next one brother!

[@bushman4124]

to be true, i like your non cooking videos better, but that is me ;)

[@mrwes100]

Nice work. I have a different approach. I lash a metal spatula onto a stick. ;)

[@kenyates4827]

I enjoy your channel, I am an avid you tuber and have about 75 different. Channels that I subscribe to and I enjoy your videos a lot, you have some humor mixed in with the learning and you always seem to be in the outdoors and doing practical tasks. I have gotten bored with those sitting in their living room opening boxes, I am glad those are there to get opinions about certain products , but you are in laboratory setting, thanks for good vids. I've been thinking of starting my own channel , any hints or ideas how to get started ? Thanks , Ken

[@1rosalee]

Hey scramble... try putting the the object your carving on a piece of bigger firewood, (stump) and carve slower, and the stability should help the control of the knife.

[@52rkaylor]

try using tree resin on a piece of bark, then sprinkle fine sand on it and let dry,,, bushcraft sandpaper

[@shanesims2864]

Can you tell who made the knife you were using?Great job thanks!!

[@loseinahole4703]

Also, use the spine of the knife to smooth the wood and create the round or squared shape that you're looking for.

[@TrailAesthetics]

The best and most efficient way to to process a long log like that for crafting is a good draw blade. It will allow you to do more and have less fatigue. ;)

[@bushman4124]

why didn't you slit the wood three times til you have a straight plank and cut the spatula out of that , saved you loads of time and energy

[@localonthe8s959]

Try holding your knife edge perpendicular to the wood and pushing away. With a shaving sharp blade it makes a finish comparable to 1000 grit sandpaper.

[@timc46440]

2 foot long (or .61 meters for our Canadian friends, yes you Joseph) spatula, are you compensating for something Scrambled?

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

great job! subbed the new channel to

[@trentseal6812]

try finishing the handle using the spine of your knife. It will smooth the handle without taking off too much wood

[@volkkeslate]

You need a smaller knife for the detail work and take very little material per pass. Definitely a finesse thing.

[@alanfisher7932]

put a notch in the handle near the end for lift pot lids, pots, etc.

[@michealvega1373]

you'll get better at chamfering with practice. I prefer to use a slow pull cut or quick push cut

[@paulboujabbour2015]

sanding makes the handel more round

[@billypatton2593]

try scraping with the spine of the knife for finer work

[@MarkAJ311]

A skill never to teach your mom after making her angry.

[@dwaynewallace9913]

what knife is that

[@4a8d698f]

You should watch KZbin for ideas about how to carve. They've got all kinds of stuff. Sarcasm aside, I do like your videos and your style.

[@whitey4841]

Try putting the knife vertical and pull it

[@MrBabelfish5]

To get the round part you want, you may want to look at getting a crook knife. I have one and carry it with me all the time. It's one of the most useful knives I have.

[@ScrambledO]

+MrBabelfish5 babelfish?! Holy moly! Big fan man, getting ready to check out your recipes as I do some dehydrating/hiking soon! I have a crook knife now, but looking for a more comfortable one. Thanks for stopping by.

[@loseinahole4703]

I feel like it's not a proper Scrambled O video unless you check in at the beginning.

[@RaymondSamuray]

What happened to A-Z series?

[@modestadventurers]

I need me a spatula boy. Atb.

[@AlexVBucur]

8:30 - Use the spine of the knife.

[@mobiltec]

Fork next... Just a two or three pronger...

[@elisomerville9592]

Use the spine of the knife to smooth everything out

[@rubenguerra417]

use the spine of the knife for fine tuning

[@clancy6969]

might split as the wood dries.

[@mattguyer]

👍🏻👌🏻👊🏻

not bad, but where is the opening, "scrambled O," ;-)

[@slsoutdoors9008]

Second comment

[@oscarbrandin]

Just try and grind it with a stone to smooth it out.

[@lastgameplay]

Use a shaving horse and a spoke shave

[@ToxicApe003]

sand it with a hard grain

Hi Martin: Impressive, & who cares about awards. Does it work? that is the main criteria. Brian 76

[@akshane5570]

1st one dude, the 100th will look great, but you will still criticize it.

[@ukbushcraft7533]

just finish it off with a fine sand paper splinters aint fun

[@crankynomad3786]

I purchased a set of plastic spatulas on Amazon while watching this video. I mostly use them for spanking poorly behaved women.

[@TheSoren22]

I miss the traditional ScrambledO music. This stuff is depressing

[@chilltown91]

So... you're not a bushcraft channel, you're a cooking channel. You should just say that so I know not to subscribe. I enjoy your videos but not cooking videos every single time.

[@ScrambledO]

+chilltown91 Your commenting on a non-cooking video lol

[@MarkAJ311]

😂
