Carving Old Hillbilly

#oldhillbilly #woodcarving As a beginner myself, I started with this easy project to make (no eyes). . . and still learning, thanks to Doug Linker, for his tutorial session.

Keep it in frame dude !

[@AdventureIndiana]

Great work. Enjoyed seeing your plan of attack. One thing I love about carving is if you can do this guy, you can easily change him up a ton of different ways. Thanks for your videos, I will be cruising thru!

Great carve. You were out of camera a lot. I tell you only because I was sad I missed some of the detail. New subscriber. I am going to give it try.

[@dancarpio8130]

@Stacy Gerlich, Thank you. . . yes I agree, this was the early stages of my channel and still learning the craft (video taping). I really do appreciate your support.

[@whittler0507]

Dan you did a great job of carving this figure ..thank you for sharing

[@dancarpio8130]

It is an honor coming from the Master Carver, Mr Gene Messer, mind you sir, my carving style comes from you and one other. That's what I been telling them that my craft are bits and pieces from known carvers.

[@derlalala9856]

Hehe guess the other one was Doug? Two absolute masters! Glad there are more comming on the KZbinhorizon!

[@jonlbs7]

One of my absolute favorites... Still waiting for my hands to heal so I can try this one LOL :) God Bless you !!

[@dancarpio8130]

May God bless you as well @Jon Pounds

Thank you

[@parsaerfani7973]

Wow amazing video thanks!

[@dancarpio8130]

@Parsa Erfani thanks!

[@darrylweartpipingancamping]

Like your hillbilly’s too, easier to carve without eyes & can change the hats.👍👍

[@dancarpio8130]

Yes, without eyes were easier to carve and on this video, mostly I am out of the frame. . . still learning the craft

[@duanet1076]

Hello Dan, I really enjoyed the video and I learned some from it. Not sure if you would be willing to do so, but, would you consider remaking the video as there is a lot of great technique that all of us newbies could certainly benefit from. It is an awesome whittle and I certainly look forward to more of your videos. Thank you for taking the time that you invested into making the video.

[@dancarpio8130]

@Duane T, thank you for the compliment. . . this video was done at the start of my channel and still learning with this craft (video taping), definitely I’ll consider making this again. After finishing (two project) at hand. You’ll know. Thanks again, stay safe Duane.

[@dancarpio8130]

@Duane T, as you requested (Carving Old Hillbilly 2), let me know what you think, thanks Duane.

[@davidluck8851]

Nice one bud ... do me a favour take camera hints from Doug and I am looking forward to more from you 😉

[@dancarpio8130]

Thank you @David Luck for watching, this was at the start of my channel (11 months ago). . . at the time still learning the craft. 👍

[@justcarverob9389]

Great carving Dan carry on stay safe Just carve

[@dancarpio8130]

this was 10 months, I was just starting. . . thanks bud, be safe always.

[@thehairywoodcarver]

Great video! I am planning to do a chess set based on farmers and gentlemen, some great ideas in here. Thanks for posting - Paul

[@dancarpio8130]

thanks Paul, I've seen your work, you started with the chess, the pawn . . . and looking forward on your series of videos. Your work on the Celtic Cross pendant was so impressive, the detailing. . .was just fun to watch and working in a nature setting is a plus. Barely a year doing this craft and still learning. . . your carving style and detailing. . .you got more ideas than I am.

[@jmh119]

that turned out great! will be giving that one a try. subscribed too!

[@dancarpio8130]

Thanks a lot Jim, camera focus is a working progress.

[@dancarpio8130]

To my viewers, I understand your frustration. . . I am out of the frame at times on this video. . . that’s why I created “Old Hillbilly 2” (8 months ago)

[@indianatone218]

Hi dan thanks for showing us your aproach ,greetings from Wales UK ive subd maybe one day i can put one of my attempts on my channel ,its hard to get baswood blanks here last lot i got i was sold as baswood but it was a pine and it was too hard ,wish it grew over here

[@dancarpio8130]

Hi Indiana, I don’t know if you have a Home Depot in Wales, you know a big store with construction supply. I started with pine, just have to choose white, less grain, inner soft side of pine wood and with a sharp knife, will do the trick. I get my basswood at eBay and shipment cost to your place maybe pricey. Wish you the best @Indiana Tone.

[@indianatone218]

@@dancarpio8130 Hi dan thanks for replying ,we do have stores but wish we had home depo here in england. I think ive found the solution ,its a lime tree and theres one up the fields from me and the farmer had cut some branches off so i tried them and they do slice well in fact it seems like your cutting a parsnip lol, so i can get down to some witling again once my hand heals as i sliced it last week ,lesson learned wear a glove, anyway thanks carry on carving buddy.

[@grahamparr3933]

Try keeping the work in the centre of frame🤔

[@dancarpio8130]

This was the early stages of my channel, still learning the craft (video taping), in fact I did the “Carving Old Hillbilly 2” for that reason. I appreciate your comment @Graham Parr, it reminds me.

[@garyrobinson6175]

Great carve. Need to try to keep work in camera please.

[@dancarpio8130]

@Gary Robinson, I’m sorry. . . this was the early stages of my channel and still learning the craft (video taping). Thank you Gary and stay safe.

[@tomevans4402]

👍

[@davidluck8851]

as Doug says , practice, practise, practise - I have only been doing this for a couple of months so lot of learning to do 😅

[@dancarpio8130]

Yes, I'm still learning from them; Doug and Gene

[@woodenjoseph1537]

super Hillbilly,ładnie go zrobiłeś,podoba mi się Twoja praca, zapraszam do mnie na kanał,pozdrawiam

[@dancarpio8130]

thank you @wooden Joseph, I made “Carving Old Hillbilly 2” and they show all within the camera frame.

[@MM-dz9bv]

congratulations, which wood did you use?

[@dancarpio8130]

Basswood 1x1x3.5”. Thank you so much Matteo Marengo

[@peggyhix293]

Nice carving. I would love to follow it but many shots were out of view…. But still nice carving😉

[@dancarpio8130]

sorry for the delay respond, yes I agree for this reason, I did another "Old Hillbilly 2" (about 8 months ago) and thank you @peggy hix

[@grannypantsification]

I keep trying to see down under the edge of the screen! Beautiful carving

[@dancarpio8130]

Thank you @grannypantsification, this was at early stages of my channel, still learning to keep it within the frame. Thank for watching.

[@tallywhacker8917]

Nice video son.. this old fart has 5000 knife scars from my years of carving

[@dancarpio8130]

Thank you sir for watching, . . . I do have some few scars myself and it won’t stop me from carving. . .

[@peteroberts7334]

Can't see slot of what's being cut because of being out of frame .

[@dancarpio8130]

Yes, that’s why I created “Carving Old Hillbilly 2”

[@rossmoore8280]

Nice but most of carving below knives. Couldn’t see

[@dancarpio8130]

Thank you Ross Moore, barely a month at that time doing a video taping on this project, I lost my focus, it’s a working progress though. I was using my old GoPro cam. I appreciate your comment.

[@rossmoore8280]

@@dancarpio8130 just wanted to let you know. Keep up the effort it will pay off. 😇🇨🇦

[@dancarpio8130]

Really appreciate the encouragement

[@jimmme5880]

Enjoyed. Could be helpful if you put a dot or "x" on the work table and remember to keep the carving over it.

Audio missing

[@dancarpio8130]

I was just starting with this video (10 months ago), wasn’t equipped on “voice over video” yet. Working on it. . . thank you @Dwight Julien for watching.

[@SewWhittle]

Would be nice to see without all the skips.

[@dancarpio8130]

Hi SALL, this video was the early part of my channel, trying to keep it short and yes I get it. . . and today, the last 3 or 4 videos were at normal speed, keeping most of the steps with few skips that are repetitive… I do appreciate your comment and thank you SALL for watching.

[@michaeldonahue2308]

your not showing what you are doin?

[@dancarpio8130]

This was my earlier project, still learning the craft, if you may @Michael Donahue, go check “Carving Old Hillbilly 2”, I’ve corrected my mistakes, thanks.

[@davidtegethoff8858]

I like, but too much time off camera

[@dancarpio8130]

Thank you David, yes I agree, this was at the early stages of my channel. . . still learning the craft. I made some corrections on Old Hillbilly 2

[@calD57]

Dude you’re out of frame

[@dancarpio8130]

yes @Calvin Dickson, barely a month into video taping my project, still learning at that time.

[@rwtisch]

Nice carving…..but as noted…. Most technique out of view.

[@dancarpio8130]

Yes Rich Tisch, barely a month at that time in video taping this project, I lost focus, besides I’m using my old GoPro. It’s a working progress though. Thank you, I appreciate your comment.

[@jimtalley4118]

Your hand can't be seen half the time while carving!

[@dancarpio8130]

Yes this was at the start of my channel (9 months ago) . . . at the time still learning video taping my work. Someone requested if I can make another one, so I did “Carving Old Hillbilly 2”. . . . I hope this can help you @Jim Talley

[@marvinmeinen9127]

You need to learn to stay in the camera view

[@douglasmorris2300]

Your hillbilly looks great but you did not create a gnome hillbilly. You created a Nessie hillbilly. Nessie's who come from Norway are without eyes and gnomes have eyes.

[@dancarpio8130]

Thanks @Douglas Morris and for the info

[@bobfortune5475]

Too much off camera work. Saw a lot of wood chips and knives.

[@dancarpio8130]

@Bob Fortune this was the early stages of my channel and still learning the craft (video taping a project). I’m using OCC and Flexcut detail knife and assorted hand chisel tools
