Would love to see full alphabet, on paper would do. Thanks for this video

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Great suggestion!

[@richardmoloney7485]

Very informative video! It looks like a small bar is the way to go for sign posts? I think the one in the video is a 12 incher?. I'm about to purchase my first chainsaw. I wanted to start simple with signs. I was planning on getting the Stihl MSA 200 for some flexibility when I move on from signs but that's a 14 inch bar. Awkward for this type of stuff? Thx for the help.

[@derekdupler]

Thanks for the inspiration. I made a mailbox today with the address using this font. I can’t figure out how to post a picture but it was fairly easy with a ms 180 stock. I tried my 271t but the top handle as awkward. Ordered a farmertech dime tip to see if I like it before I go all in. Just wanted to say thank you.

[@gregpostdronephotography6499]

Hey Brother, you make it look so easy. Really enjoy seeing your finished art. I might make one of these today, well give it a try that is. Going for a drift wood hunt on the north shore of Lake Ontario later. Keep em coming!

[@RyanCookCarvin]

You can do it!

[@clintdebord6522]

Thank you for sharing, I have a saw blade for my angel grinder I'll try this with. The mind is open to what wild things we can create.

[@RyanCookCarvin]

if you have a lansalot throw that thing out!! those are so dangerous .. if its the one with chainsaw on the grinder .. so dangerous be safe ... and welcome

[@clintdebord6522]

Thank you, it is similar to that. Yes they are dangerous, I found out the hard way. What would you recommend that is small like that.

[@staceyevanishen5869]

@@clintdebord6522 the arbortech turbo plane is a great tool for removing wood, smooth finish, is aggressive when you want it it to but also can be finesse, Follow Cook's advise and get rid of it! anything with a circular chainsaw blade on a grinder is a trip to a surgeon waiting to happen, I swear the grim reaper has a sly smile whenever one is bought.

[@clintdebord6522]

@@staceyevanishen5869 thank you, I'll do that. I just had back surgery, so no crafting for awhile.

Very helpful 👌 me and my friend ordered two echo 2511wes chainsaws after watching your videos picking them up Friday can't wait we've been using shitl ms 170s standard bars can't wait to try the carving bar on the echo cs-2511wes

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Glad I could help not sure if the 2511 come with carving bars on that saw standard but i dont know if not Cannon 12 in dime tip is awesome on that saw or 8.. I use a 8 in dime tip on it thats so awesome thou that saw is AWESOME

[@brianmoore7910]

Thanks Ryan really appreciate the reply. Here in the UK the echo 2511 comes as two options, the standard bar or the 10 inch echo carving bar. Its called the 2511 wes c. Can't wait to get and take the carvings to the next level. Keep carving and inspiring the rest of us!!!

Absolutely fantastic Ryan although for the illiterate amongst us could you do a full alphabet maybe put up on the inside the shop so you can do a picture of it and then we've got something to refer to. Had a go at man cave ..the A and V were a disaster. Would like to carve Tom's Shed for my buddy. 👍🇬🇧🙋🏼‍♂️

[@BobKendrick-yn4yz]

Love your videos, can you show us how to do the other leters of the alphabet

[@ASCarvings]

I carve with a Dremel but would like to take up chainsaw carving. What saw do you recommend to start with?

[@RyanCookCarvin]

depends on youre strength an budget ,, an all around pro saw for small carvings echo cs 361 p or cs 2511 wes or cheap echo 310.. but all saws should be converted to carving saws .. meaning you need a sprocket change and carving bar and new chain. takes some work but it will last lng time

[@lizakin1274]

Great question, I wanted to know this too.
