This guy is the neighbor everyone wants! Great videos, thanks!

[@GlowingJacksCarvings]

appreciate the kind words, thank you.

Great tutorial. Though, I am curious why you almost seemed ashamed to use a dremel? My opinion is use what tools you need to get the results that you want or need. I'm very very new to chainsaw carving, so not sure if it's some rule or bad thing to use tools that help you create your carvings.

Hey @Glowing Jacks Carvings, where are you?! Thx for this tuto !!!

[@jimmyd6695]

Great tutorial Jack. Your step by step process is the most simple to understand. I've seen other videos and they make it have so many more steps to the point it makes it confusing. You make it much easier to learn. I am going to subscribe to your channel and hopefully continue to learn more carvings from you. You are a great teacher. Keep doing what you're doing !!

Just came across this vid, yeah just wanted to say I really like your style of teaching. Was wondering how you have that piece of water attached to that board and I see you have one on the other end also?

[@hemlockhomestead8907]

Happened to stumble on this video. Loved it. Do you have any suggestions on a sealer after it’s painted to protect it from the weather?

[@GlowingJacksCarvings]

I use 2/3 spar 1/3 mineral spirits. I try to spray them if possible. I brush them lightly as to not not bleed the other paints.

[@hemlockhomestead8907]

@@GlowingJacksCarvings I guess the mineral spirits is just to thin out the varnish? I believe that’s also a paint remover.

[@GlowingJacksCarvings]

@@hemlockhomestead8907 yes it can remove oil based paints by itself but when mixed with spar it is not as potent. just wanted to give a heads up on what it can do. i only thin down due to the temps being cooler right now and it assist with dry time.

[@hemlockhomestead8907]

@@GlowingJacksCarvings thank you for the info. I would love to get started on this hobby and your video explained it well. I have a lot of hemlock trees that I could practice on and being a soft wood might make it easier. I will be subscribing to your channel as I think you have a great ability to teach. Thanks again!

[@kcmerck660]

Hey there, I started carving back in mid-June and I've just been loving all your videos thank you so much for putting out such great content. I got a question about your logs...I see your trailer loaded up in the background. Where do you get them and how do you load them. I'm starting to get orders for bigger stuff and I was curious if you load them with a winch or do you get them at a yard and a loader sets them on for you. I'm definitely gonna be carving some of these tree gnomes this weekend. My wife loved them, they look awesome and thank you for your time.

[@GlowingJacksCarvings]

hey congrats on the orders and I'm glad you guys like them. I have a smaller sawmill in my area that I have been buying from for a while and he loads them on my trailer. I have a tractor and boom pole if I need to do something larger. I know some people build hoists and other lifts, one day i will be investing in a front loader myself to help move the larger heavier logs.

[@jimboyd4932]

What type wood do you use?

[@GlowingJacksCarvings]

I tend to lean towards softer woods like pine ,cedar, poplar, cherry.

[@jamesrankin9833]

Good stuff
