[@lgwjrwhite588]

Snakes doug snakes no rats lolol good vid funny joke lolol

[@dougLinker]

lgwjr white haha -oops! 👍

[@sandradoyle9200]

Although I am sure the Irish would have appreciated St. Patrick removing the rats as well :)

[@suzierafter8045]

Ha ha @lgwjr you beat me to it. And it’s the Shamrock ☘️ not clover 🍀 that he used Doug! Never mind. I might try this tomorrow given the day that it is and we are all isolating in Ireland for Paddy’s Day. Enjoy & have a drink for us Irish - all our pubs are closed (can you believe it?!) Feckin’ coronavirus 🦠 😳

[@TheWindTurbineKing]

I'am Irish, i think.

[@tearitloosetearitloose4670]

@@suzierafter8045 Shamrock is a clover.. A three leafed version... Pubs still closed 2021.. Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘☘☘.

[@frankwhite8459]

Another great carving and video doug thank you. I've been carving 4 7 months now thanks to you please keep teaching

[@jwatt65]

Another excellent tutorial. There will be a Leprechaun in Watt's Whittle Village soon, thanks to your tutorial. My Irish grandpa will be smiling! Thank you.

[@robertrobison3480]

Thanks for this one. Will watch at length when I get back home.

[@dannyjames3437]

Hope ya get much better soon. I carved a little 4" leprechaun & I remembered the pumpkin you made hanging on a string that danced around with hidden magnets, so I did that and made a dancing leprechaun. I so look forward to your videos each time you have a new one. Makes my day! Thanks for staying with us while your healing. God bless.

[@joeg3140]

I could watch you carve all day

[@ronm305]

Doug, you made my night complete! Awesome work, always looking for your next upload!

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

Great carving Doug! Glad to see you back & hope all is well.

[@robertrobison3480]

Love these on the corner and busts. I keep watching over and over. Others maybe?

[@rontesh6244]

We enjoyed it so much, thanks for sharing it. Great idea & A wonderful story. Kathy & I watched the Supply run a few times, it just made us feel better, Great job Doug. Love it,

[@douglasjaquays4820]

As always a great video. You have really inspired me to do more and better my carving and for a 70 year old man that takes a lot. Thank you very much.

[@alaskankare]

I see a Pres Lincoln in another life! lol thabk you for the full step videos, I know they take longer but I really appreciate them!

[@bernardmcmahon7434]

This Covid situation and you have given me a new hobby. Really appreciate your tutorials. I have crafted three pieces under your tutelage and my family think I'm good ha ha. Long way to go yet. Keep them coming Doug.

[@hazel8071]

This is super relaxing to watch. Loving your carving videos Doug, keep it up!

[@rickoncordova1]

Awesome carving Doug. So glad to see you back. Hope you're feeling close to 100%. Rick.

[@dougLinker]

not even close haha

[@faerieraven6877]

I treated myself to a basic set of tools and some bass wood for xmas... I've just found your channel, and have to say, your tutorials and videos are excellent...amusing, but easy to follow. I'm Irish, living in Ireland, so the leprechaun was of interest 😊 although, as many have said, St Patrick drove the snakes out, and used shamrock, not clover to teach Christianity...but you're forgiven 😂

[@ronaldainaire7086]

Appreciate the little Leprechaun Doug! Need to get started for my little touch of Ireland!

[@artzymac5641]

Hope I learn to carve like you someday. Love watching you carve.

[@kevinthewanderingwoodchuck2586]

Found your channel several years ago for the camping and Canoeing. Now I'm carving along with you Doug! I must say you're gentle nature and presence is a bit Bob Ross like on these tutorials. Thanks so much for your time. P.s. Joe wanted me to tell you that he is waiting impatiently to go camping with you.😉

[@standswithfish]

Another great project Doug! Paint station looking nice. You forgot the best part of this time of year, corned beef and cabbage. And leave enough for hash in the morning!

[@davidthomson4971]

I wish I had your knife control. Thanks so much for pointing the way for us beginners!

[@brianshutter6657]

You are a genius! Another great video, Doug! "Aw weeys ofter me luggy jarms!"

[@rontesh6244]

Thanks for sharing, enjoy your carvings. Always learn something with you.

[@tomevans4402]

Great learning video. Thank you. Still carving rubber ducks😂 kids of all ages love them. Take care from California 👍

[@joemcnerney8765]

Thank you Doug! Happy St. Patrick's Day from Ireland !!!

[@lauriereber8939]

Thank you for this tutorial and all the time spent to bring it to us. It is a great carve along. Glad to see you back. Hope you are on the mend.

[@rossgebert9422]

Great tutorial Doug. Watched the speed version, liked it ; thought prefer this type of tutorial. Camera placement is perfect. Thank-you.

[@mymgb238]

Coming from 29+ years of carving birds,ducks and chip carving, this delightful hobby is quite challenging. I watch and rewatch your 2 Leprechaun videos and enjoyed the beginner one. Power carve ducks and birds but of course chip carve with knife. Carryover from chipcarving has more applications but I must say you are very skilled and have a very creative mind.Also,just downloaded your Podcasts,interesting….. People seemed to have welcome you back???? Best regards

[@ladyliberty417]

Good to see ya Doug☘️ Love the details, awesome work☘️

[@punchion]

A wonderful video Doug. I just may give it a try!

[@johnjude2685]

My Home Depot doesn't have 2x2 popular so I'll try Mernards soon I'm watching this video noticed the knife was fitting into the shoulder cut just before you mentioned it. Believing you have taught me some things Thanks I'm building myself a few starting knives and after I learn what kind of handles fit me plan to buy a good knife and as a BladeSmith ( my hobby) I will build a great set for my fit. Remember on one of your many videos believe you said people claim that you don't talk enough I disagree I believe you audio instructions are spot one great job Sir. I'm watching many videos and others carvers with the carving lessons you my favorite. I'm watching a Japanese teacher doing great information about knife care. You don't use the V tool as much I think I'll be using it and you might being a teacher and teaching how to use less tools to get into the hobby ( perhaps) Thanks for motivation and teaching me Sir

[@BraxxJuventa]

Great craftsmanship again Doug! Thanks for sharing. 👍😁

[@ILovHelloKitty13]

Thanks for this Doug! Watched both to support the channel

[@d.willie7439]

[@davidoyama9753]

[@merryannmac8096]

Aw, Doug...this is just very special. A leprechaun is entirely Irish. I love Little Shawn the Leprechaun. Merry Ann from Minnesota

[@MHarenArt]

Really satisfying to watch you do that. Love him! BTW, hope you are doing and feeling well!!

[@rogerferris3720]

[@richardsolomon8076]

Very cool Doug :-) nice job

[@TheOldaz1]

Nice job Doug, I see your knife skills are a lot more confident than when I first started watching all those years ago. I'm a bit out of practice, been blacksmithing instead.

[@mynortherneveryday1902]

Nice work Doug!

[@johnpieters9949]

Nice job Doug I like it

[@Doyledidit]

You’re the best Doug, second to no one!

[@wgould1000]

Really nice!

[@fngrusty42]

Love it was looking for one for the front of the boat, small boat. Thanks

[@MichaelGiannisis]

Another great video Doug. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TimyMac_MakerApprentice]

There you go again! Always out doing yourself. I'll never catch up! I'm still whittling through the tutorial ;-)

[@c.a.g.1977]

hmm, "Always out doing yourself." there is a space where there shouldn't be one...

[@ooooooogzi6452]

This video has given me so much inspiration thank you!!

[@thomasstepp7622]

Amazing carve, on my second one now. I really enjoy your video's. God Bless!

[@warfox364]

Good vid Doug I love watching you carve! 🤟

[@als8326]

Wow Doug Great tutorial thank you very encouraging and very explanatory Al from Vermont

[@pauljames7727]

Very nice Doug, I'm lucky enough to be living in the Republic of Ireland. Be nice if you could continue the Irish theme and do some figures playing a Irish music session. Fiddles, Tin whistle, Flute.

[@brianduhart7043]

Just getting to this project... looks fun

[@whittler0507]

great as usual Doug

[@jeffwise3851]

Nice tutorial.

[@jimgardner1643]

Great job once again, you make it look soooooo easy, any chance you could do that bear with the fishing pole in the background? Thanks for these tutorials they help ALOT

[@fhtommy]

Thanks for the great video! I have a question. When I watch around 30:30, how do you keep from over cutting the bevel cut and leaving a cut line. I did get my hands on a teacher's finished piece in a class at a carving show and saw that they had those over cuts. You mentioned in another video about using a gouge to make the initial cut then cutting to it on both sides. Maybe you could make a video on this issue. You are so inspiring. Thank you!

[@andyginther8562]

I gave it a go today. V cuts on the sides of long flat surfaces are tough. I can barely get my blade in. Not sure if I’m keeping blade sharp enough, don’t have the strength yet or wood’s too hard? Had a great time! Love the show Doug. My shelves are grow’n with lil elves.

[@young-soonkim6730]

Good Saturday Doug! Maybe making a set with Mrs. and two children would be so nice! 👍🍀👨‍👨‍👧‍👧

[@shortycorman2079]

I really like how you make everything look so easy I try to make one of your men and I end up cutting something off like an ear or a nose.

[@makeituseit6011]

Great job, always look forward to your next video

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Mr Doug .

[@robertrobison3480]

love the on the corner.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great stuff Doug! Thanks for being an inspiration!

[@ShawnLove-ty9jd]

So awesome. Congratulations

[@daryldawe3943]

That’s a fun one. The long swooping cut that you did around the beard is the cut that for some reason scares me to no end. I feel like I am putting to much pressure or not enough and that the knife is going to bite me. You make it look effortlessly.

[@petercowell2051]

Doug that is great. You are very talented. If you could do some pencil drawings of the lines you draw it would help this old boy to get a grip of the steps.

[@davewhited9784]

Doug, Thanks for the great videos. I have been trying to carve a morel mushroom, but with a face like you did for the Christmas tree. any ideas on how to accomplish this.

[@rayvanderaa]

nice video. Those are the kind i like

[@barryfigel9957]

Another great video Doug Ten likes And 10 stars thank you again

[@riccojames1]

Just found this. Those Chars in the background are awesome. Not seen them in the latest vids you did Doug :) I really would love you to remake some of the ones you think we don't need to see how they were 'made unique' as I really fail until I get instructions on the reasons why the cuts were made and which direction etc. :)

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Thanks again Doug, 👍

[@rhussey993]

Another fantastic video, Doug. Really appreciate you skill and your generosity sharing it with us. I have been working my way through all of your videos (in no particular order) and love them all. You're unique Doug. l hope you are making videos for the next 50 years! I have a question: when I create a stop-cut like on a hat brim or shoe sole and then cut against it, invariably when I cut into it pieces of that thinner wood left always break off. Lot of force, little force, big slice, tiny thin slice, nothing matters. I always lose chunks. Anybody?

[@chucklambert7470]

Loved the carving. Hope you are doing better.

[@KonstantinChikov]

Really nice video, thanks

[@gloriabutler4734]

Great job

[@josephmondoux6758]

Hey Doug watching you for years not computer smart miss your fishing video

[@dougLinker]

[@ricknsw71]

Nice upload mate hope all is well. Cheers from Australia

[@fraross6212]

What did saint Pat say to the snakes when he was driving them out of Ireland? " Are you all right in the back there lads? 😂😁😃

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Cheers Doug : I am trying to carve Wolves.

[@deneicetabachki7945]
