I think those little doors would make the coolest outlet covers.

[@1scootergirl]

I’ve been making these for about 10 years now - very much the same. The point is, we can never have too many gnome and fairy doors! Thanks for getting this going❤

[@BigCedarWilderness]

Do you sell yours?

[@diannaboyce7667]

You are like the “Bob Ross” of wood carving. I’m hooked

[@arthurh5707]

Wish I had your imagination and talent. I really like the lighthearted designs you make. Brings a smile in an ocean of sadness.

[@Old52Guy]

Your timing couldn't be better. Two of my granddaughters just asked me to make some fairy doors so they could put them on the backyard tree. All I could say was, "huh?" Thanks!

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

This is what I love about your channel, you're always changing things up. Never the same old, same old. Great video Doug! And yes, I expect to see these all over the Facebook Carving groups in the next few days! 🤣

[@timothylongley1056]

You gave me a great way to dress up a mouse trap Doug. Carve it with the door open and glue it to the front of the trap. Lol

[@sosteve9113]

Lol

[@JohnDProffitt]

Fun project Doug. Very much looking forward to the painting video. Please include painting the wood also, your's looks so realistic.

[@bernardsmith5904]

Your videos are the best, your instructions are the easiest to follow. You are the blue collar carving channel.

[@PeteLewisWoodwork]

Another great little idea and what I like most is your continued reference to 'another little world' and 'secret little world' because that is what whittling is really all about; it's not about perfect representation of reality, it can be whatever you want or imagine it to be. I'm 60 years old and I still like all that imaginary stuff - the escapism - especially in today's stress-riddled world. These little doors can be hidden around the home to be a constant reminder that we do not have to live with modern day stress every minute of our lives. The stress is only as real as we allow it to be - and little reminders of that fact bring us back down to earth. In fact, stresses are no more real than imaginary worlds behind little doors!

[@whittler0507]

Another great video Doug ..wonderful projects and simple instruction for all carvers ..Thank you my friend

[@josephadkins549]

Not only do I appreciate carving I appreciate good pencils. Nice blackwing.

[@room2three7]

Love it. I made 6 nome doors (not carved) and mounted them to trees along a Mt. Biking trail,......they all were stolen. Sad but at least I know people like these cool little things. I'm gonna try and carve me some now. Thanx bud!!!!

[@Chris-yo2gj]

Absolutely love this video, can't wait to give this a try.

[@ponderanceofagravedigger2564]

Thanks for another great video! I did a similar carving. Then i had an old tree stump in my yard i attached the door to. Then the stump needed windows and a roof. Lol. Perfect gnome house! Then a garden went in around the stump!

[@marca5883]

These are my joy💚🇬🇧🌱I leave them all over... Interested to see your take on them...

[@jimrowland6089]

Love this little carve. Doug, you are not just showing people how to carve, you're showing them how they can exercise their imagination. If the door is closed you can always carve an open window.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Haha, right at the end I was wondering about how you'd paint the stone! Looking forward to that video too! Nice little tutorial, Doug! Maybe you could do some more videos on carving inanimate objects?

[@putridreviews]

Cool idea, one with a mouse in would be fun

[@CaptJohn-op3bf]

Thanks Doug for another great video! You got me into carving about three years ago and if I'm not out running charters I'm carving, just about every day. Its come a long way in improvement thanks to your videos and tutorials. Thank you!

[@robcarr1899]

Ok ok ok.... I'm on it. Tomorrow I'm a Door builder. Thanks Doug. I know the wife will LOVE the Baseboard doors (skirting board in uk).

[@jydymyyyr9630]

Interesting carving idea, and I do like this fresh approach. One of the things I like about your channel is that when you show carving examples, you are pretty good about giving credit to other carvers which provided you inspiration or from which you copied ideas. Wish all other carvers were as free in sharing credit. I've been carving a few gnomes so I might have to make a door or two to set the scene... and I am going to have to make a bench hook. Always enjoyable to watch your videos, you make me feel like I too can do it... which I do, although not as nice. Thanks!

[@brendaroberts8417]

Thanks for another great video! It always makes my day when i get a notification of a new video from you!!

[@johnjude2685]

Your grand babies going to love them doorways to dreamland. A 60 V gouge could be great for the stone mortar building . Bench hook adds speed and safety so good idea. 👍 I did 2 of the little 🐻 bears you taught last week and they are fun as I was careful. Thanks for the teaching Sir

[@mistymountainwoodcraft]

Great video! Looking forward to the painting video.

[@nathandundore7817]

Those are awesome! My daughter will love to whittle some of those and my mum will be saying, "Those are adorable! You have to make me some!" Thanks for another great little project Doug. And remember, keep looking up because Jesus is coming soon!

[@CreativelyYoursByGloria]

Great scrap wood project

[@sully4875]

Fun Fun Fun Thanks My man 💪💪 love to see👀 the painting

[@deanjernstrom3760]

Always something.Great idea.Your smaart

[@bssn9469]

Teaching wood carving is definitely your forte! Wow, thanks again! Good camera placement, as always, and having the finished carvings insight is what sets you apart from the pack!

[@tomevans4402]

Oh my gosh this one of those carves I should have thought of😂. My grandkids will love these. Thank you. 🙏

[@DavePageGA]

Doug, I really enjoy your videos and teaching style. So glad that Shawn gave you the shout out, because I would never have known how much I would look forward to finally putting the set of tools a friend gave me years ago that I didn't think I would ever use.

[@daverowland3782]

My wife will love these little doors, thanks for the idea!

[@hfbowerndesigns810]

Great project Take care Cheers Harold

[@g.k.dalton4530]

I love these quick carves… I am one who has to finish what I start and if I run out of time and it drives me bonkers until I finish..😂

[@Birchbayaromatics]

So much fun! Thank you !

[@chandramccracken3691]

Nevermind lol I found a video of yours that explains it 😊

[@ginabirks4910]

Thanks Doug

[@Joereads]

Great little fun project. I’ll definitely try it out, and yes please do a painting video. Looking forward to it. Thanks Doug!

[@markelder5101]

Thank you for the video, this will be a nice addition to the small gnomes that I carve

[@Cypher791]

Really like these.. might try make one.. ☺️🚪

[@Alberto1993]

Very fun and cute project. Love how you can always find something new! Thanks uncle Doug

[@chriswaters4405]

Doug I am a beginner carver and this is the second thing I have tried. The first was to try your bear video and since it was my first thing I have ever attempted to carve it came out more of a bear/dog. Lol! I have enjoyed this one and am now on to paint. Keep up the good work for helping beginners understand.

[@timlist4173]

Very nice! Quite inspiring.

[@johnduffy6546]

I really enjoy your teaching style. You have a very calm , confidence inspiring voice.

[@isstephanie4]

Oh i wanted to get started whittling again, (and i hadn't hardly started) so i needed something sweet and easy to start with. Oh and i have always love mouse doors/fairy doors! Thank You so much for sharing your talent and ideas.😊

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Haven’t seen that detail knife before ! 😎

[@HOOSIERDADDY999]

Thank you Doug You are the Bob Ross of carving

[@ronquesnelle7294]

Thanks Doug!!!! If you're asking...... I would love to see the painting. I think there is more to it than meets the eye. Best wishes From Wasaga

[@Nightowlnursery]

I love this so much Mr. Doug, thanks for sharing I can’t wait to try it. I’ve been making some of the heart refrigerator magnets that you showed …to give to some of my friends for Valentines !!! ❤

[@joyhaynes7844]

These are so stinking cute! Now I’m gonna need to carve some for my gnomes! I’m glad you’re doing a painting tutorial, I’ve gotten so many good tips from you! Can’t wait for it to come out!

[@johnwhittingham7270]

Great video Doug , only just started carving, made a candle with a face will be trying a door next for my granddaughter, thanks for making super videos

[@rubenfilipe1987]

Fun project! My daughters doll house just gain couple new funny doors 😁 You are the man, Doug! 🙏

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

Great video and project Doug! Rather than plaster casting tunnel portals for my model railroad I think I'm going to try carving them! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thanks Doug, that was fun. God Bless and stay safe.

[@pauljames7727]

Thank you once again Doug, super fun idea. keep them coming. 🥰

[@camrock8]

Another great video Doug! Looking forward to the paint follow up!

[@bobkrause0103]

That was awesome Doug

[@paulkemp6459]

Doug, those are awesome little doors. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼

[@qwaj6985]

Enjoyed this video. Please do the video on your painting technique for the wood and the stone. Looking forward to it.

[@dougLinker]

It’s up now

[@udod6372]

For my mices I mad some doors directly on the ground.My grandchildren are thinking, that the little animals have their home behind the doors.we are so enthusiastic about your carving art and try to copy ,next days . Thank you . Hey from Hamburg Udo +

[@stateniland]

Thank you Doug for placing your finished pieces in the background so we have an idea of where you're heading... Very helpful! Look forward to your painting process ...

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for yet another awesome carving video Doug! 👍😁👍😁

[@richardh1764]

Cool project, I've made a couple from board but these look a bit better as they are more substantial.

[@NikkijsNWA]

Love it! I have little gnomes, and little people that won't stand on their own...they will be getting a door!!

[@upallnyte2000]

A week before you did this video my wife and I took a hike through a local park (before our big snowfall) and we found some painted doors attached to some of the trees. We thought we should do this to some of our trees, then out comes this video! Perfect timing, loved this video and really liked your painting of the doors too. The extra layers of paint blended in with a wet watered brush really made it all pop out. You truly are an Artist! Thanks again for another lesson learned...Rich

[@Thespoonpeddler]

Awesome simple project. Thanx. Look forward to trying one and the painting video.

[@annstebbing1910]

I just love watching you carve. I’m hopefully getting a few tools for my birthday and can’t wait to have a go. Thank you.

[@dougLinker]

thanks!!

[@paulbyrne6744]

I was planning making some fairy doors for a newly opened walk way in my community. Definitely doing it now. Thanks a mill Doug

[@seniorchiefharris]

Doug... I've watched this video a number of times and thought, I've got to try this as a gift for not only our flower gardens, but also several of our friends/relatives flower gardens also... I've always love this type of carving, but now, I've GOT to try it as some spring time gifts for friend's Spring Gardens... Who knows, maybe different ones for different seasons... ;>) AGAIN...Thanks for all you do and your wonderful simple, yet beautiful ideas!!! May you and your family STAY SAFE and HEALTHY my friend!!!

[@tjkoker]

I was "praying" you would make a paint video for this particular project. Here's hoping. Cheers.

[@bettyhall7287]

Awesome video Doug.

[@RustyGunn7]

Such a novel idea. So cool. I never would have thought of this. Might have to build a whole house, carpenter gnomes busy swing tiny hammers, smashed thumbs and all. Thanks.

[@ChristinaHinch-qw8nn]

Thanks!

[@brianve7jyd943]

well done Sir - i started doin Fairey doors 3 yrs or so ago ad progress to opening door with stone walls inside and spiral stone stair case - time consuming but turned out nice - cudnt keep upto the requests lol so i quit --- appreciate u sharin cause as always you always have nice lil ideas to makem better - thanks ps that bench pushy thingy - heck of an idea thanks

[@tabathaosborne6447]

Absolutely love this, thanks Doug

[@banjomango145]

Nice, now i can use a couple bass planks i had, didnt have any good bigger thicker poeces for figurines but this way i can whittle

[@paulsiwy6097]

Thanks Doug. Your videos demystify carving. I found carving to be a bit intimidating but your videos show the cuts and approaches in a way that makes carving much easier to do. I was inspired to finish my fairie house which I am carving out of cottonwood bark. I now make my cuts in a more refined manner so that I am doing a better job. I also did a spiritman on a piece of fresh cut aspen after watching your video on it. I did okay except for the eyes which I am not happy with. I will have to practice eyes. I also like how you point out that the carving is pretty open ended. Being somewhat of a perfectionist I am glad to see that a misscut need not be a thing to fret over as the carving can simply evolve to something a bit different that originally envisioned. I credit your videos for encouraging me to take up carving again after a fairly long period away from it. Thanks again!

[@Zogg1281]

The round green door reminds me of Bilbo Baggins' front door. I've been wanting to make some of these for a long time, so I'll try to make a bit of time and have a go 😊👍👍👍👍

[@truthreigns7]

Simply amazing! Thank you so much Doug.

[@johnbart3746]

This is such an awesome project! I’m gonna make loads of these and stash them all over the house for the kids hahaha

[@artbyfaith]

Thank you. I love to watch you carve. I do a little carving and your lessons are great to learn from.

[@MyName-zd9pe]

They are amazing! Your very talented, thank you for sharing. 🤠✝️🇺🇸

[@aminmuhammad-dbf]

Good idea i will make a cave out of paper mashe and carve a door to fit in front of it.🇨🇦♥️

[@fernnewell6032]

Love it and your right it is nice to sometimes when you just have a fun relaxed project.

[@vasileiuga7299]

Thanks Doug for all your videos! Love when I see the KZbin notification for one of your videos

[@vladimpaler9274]

Great idea Doug 👍🏻 the doors are really neat!

[@halinawiecek2297]

Doug the doors look awesome what the great idea, good job.

[@mrsensable]

Very nice Doug, a little door to a secret world

[@larryg.4398]

Love the doors. I've got to try making one ! All of the details in the different doors are great

[@zeppelinjh]

Love how you always come up with cool inspiring ideas that are simple and fun to make!

[@dougLinker]

Thanks!!

[@michaelvannoy7566]

very neat I like it

[@joshtracy443]

I love your Doug Outside sign I. The background! I’ve been watching you since you were Doug Outside; and we still refer to you as such :)

[@ginabirks4910]

Adorable, all so different and an amazing paint job on them all as always.

[@mikemcguire8351]

Love the idea, will have a few of those. 👍

[@wasnt_it]

nice work! I like to use a relief printmaking v-gouge to make detail lines, or just remove wood when working on small stuff with linear details, etc. like these doors.

[@davidquerry8869]

Fun idea Doug. Totally enjoyed.

[@Stealthbobber06]

I love your videos and instructional videos! Thanks for making them.

[@SewWhittle]

What a great beginner project. Thanks again! ❤

[@ronmccarty7537]

Very nice! And a painting video will be awesome! Thank you!
