[@DaleLefflerCLC]

Thanks!

[@Rigus208]

Thanks Doug for sharing your skill and talent . Just a note ,my mom was crafty person ,she carved a jackolanter on one side and a pumpkin on the other ,that way she had decorations for both fall and Halloween. Again thanks so much for your talents👍😇🇺🇸

[@lilcicero77]

its a pleasure just to hear the man philosophise, never mind follow his instructions, which are the finest anywhere

[@mikecollins8241]

Simple tools, simple materials, simple techniques.. the very definition of Folk Art :)

[@tomevans4402]

Sir, I have carved all your stuff. Some of them a lot😂. Very much love your videos. Thank you. By the way just carved two of your Santa heads. Bit early but just fun.

[@tomevans4402]

@@griffwill you got this fun cheap hobby. Iv been carving just over Two years so I’m not good at all,, yet😂

[@UrbanGrrl69]

Very cute. Hope you feel better soon.

[@Rick-ue5kc]

Thanks Doug. Feel better soon.

[@wattsnex2725]

These are so folksy, I love it. These folk art decorations and gifts are fun to carve and look great. Clean, simple and crafty. I actually like the block that has different faces, I’d just do that in shades of oil or stain, would look awesome.

[@flo-tourscorrecaminos4636]

Thank you for pointing out the difference between simplicity and carelessness! You are so right !!! I wish you a speedy recovery! Take care!

[@Zogg1281]

Brilliant little carvings and I hope you feel better soon 👍

[@cliverainbird3389]

Hope you're better soon. Nice little project will give Frankenstein a go, nice one Doug keep em comming.

[@2duser2]

I have named these little projects "Doug's little blockheads " My favorite little projects. Hope the idea bank doesn't go empty.

[@marca5883]

You never know these days.. I bet somebody would be offended by blockhead... Not me! I like your idea but some people get upset by the silliest things..

[@tomstadnyk546]

Saddened to hear you’re on a rebound illness. Thanks for still posting these great “easy carves”. Heal fast!

[@tomstadnyk546]

P.S. just picked up some of your and Kevin’s circa oil in a small town near us. Thanks for that tip too.

[@ronaldainaire7086]

Thanks for the idea"s! Get better soon.

[@aliforrest7935]

Fun video! I hope you feel better soon!

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thank you! I am going to do this for the leaders in our kids church classes. OH, and no arrogance, you are just trying to make us better. Dear Lord, we pray for healing for Doug. God Bless and stay safe.

[@briandonaldson7357]

Amen

[@davelevee7385]

Agreed! Amen

[@richardkeller3852]

I did a couple of the little apple carvings,which are pretty easy even for me. I gave them to some neighbours and people at Church and they love them. Easy and cute. Awesome. Keep up the great tutorials.

[@johnjohanning4887]

I have been enjoying these simple carving videos. Hope you are feeling better.

[@briancourt1420]

Thanks for the motivational carving ideas. I’ve been carving for almost 2 years and your videos are the ones I keep coming back to.

[@gared287]

Thanks very much for offering 'basic' tutorials. I have just begun carving and these are very helpful for the beginner. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to replicate what a master like you can produce. Doing these gives a lot of satisfaction to the beginner.

[@johnbart3746]

Doug, you’ve done it again. I made some pumpkins and ghosts for the kids and it’s been a massive hit. The older one loves painting with me and the little one has been playing with a ghost all morning. Thank you!

[@rosac9331]

Loving your tutorials lately. Can't wait to see some of your christmas carvings!

[@mrs.americanmade7452]

I watch ALL your videos as you are easy for me to understand and learn.....Years ago I saw a little mouse that was on top of a door frame and he was sitting looking over the edge and his tail was just a lil piece of leather strip.....Would you please try to carve one for a video to follow along.....I am 65 year old Grandma that my passion was to someday carve and I just started a couple weeks ago.....Thank you kindly Doug for your time spent with us all.....

[@DaleLefflerCLC]

Love these simple carves, more my speed as a beginner. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration. I don't know how to show you my whittle book. It was fun for this writer.

[@mrkleczs6392]

Always a pleasure watching your vids

[@firewood87]

thanks Doug I do really appreciate what you do

[@danlakas5537]

Great video Doug!! Get well soon!

[@WalterOlsss]

Glad you decided to upload. This is perfectly in line with my skill and available time. Looking forward to making some of these. Hope you feel better soon!

[@chriss3886]

Doug, I've been enjoying your recent series very much. These quick simplified projects have been great to also see how different knives behave, too. Thanks again!

[@debihalsey2247]

Love your channel! Watching has sparked my interest in carving again. Thank you.

[@ButchB81]

Thanks, as always, Doug. I know these videos take a long time to make - time before the camera rolls, while it is rolling, and after, so thank you. We’ve all had a few tough years and you are a solid reminder that the world is full of good people putting good into the world. But those gosh darn books and these pumpkins…man, what a bundle of fun. Finally, I appreciated your bit on the podcast about coming full circle…three cheers for simplicity!

[@grassyknoll4702]

great idea... I've carved two pumpkins in the last 2 days... the wife loves them...

[@whittler0507]

Another great project Doug ..Simple and unique great job Doug

[@pauljames7727]

[@garypaulson5202]

Enjoying these videos, lots of great ideas

[@mrc2205]

Well I love these little guys. I am a non crafty person, can only draw stick figures. But I’m going to have a go at these guys. Thank you

[@sylviamann393]

Doug - you are my "go to" KZbin every morning. You are so inspiring and a joy to watch and follow. Right now this crazy world needs plenty of Doug's! Hope you feel better soon.

[@rickgroshong250]

[@Solid_Jackson]

You are so good! I bought bass wood and a whittling set off the back off what you do It isn’t easy! You are incredibly skilled

[@jimduhaime9]

Loved your video. Pray that you feel better. When you were doing the pumpkin face with the smiling mouth I thought that would be a good place to deal with teeth, could be straight, oversized, or goofy. Anyway, great video, great ideas.

[@Chipper6032]

That is so well said and I was trying to say to you the other time. What you show is do able. And satisfying thanks you for sharing and giving us such great ideas.

Thanks Doug I just know that this is so much fun and thanks for sharing! ✅✅✅🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@Bysiukas1]

Thx for all your video . Best tip for newbies is to learn how to sharp your knife .. i started with my havy knife thinking its very sharp and i have no fear ( tip 2 use protection) to use it without any protection , then i buy my first carving knife ant startet for better sharpening skill now im afrade to start carving without protection ... P.s. Dont stop ant keep going my teacher !!!

[@wtfbehindyou1892]

I just subscribed to the channel you have some great stuff after perusing your videos. I have only carved spoons so far. After watching this video i knocked out a few pumpkins and my wife loves them. My kid is excited to do the painting which im fine with as my painting skills are minimal lol.

[@smalough]

Hey Doug, thanks for the helpful video - always entertaining. A couple of dowel bits (bolts) in Frankenstein's neck might be a cute add-on. Anyway get better soon ...

[@markkennedy6155]

Doug I've watched for years, then I drifted away. But I'm back now. New Subsriber again. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.

[@nathanpeters9468]

Great video. Idea: carve a Buckin Billy Ray head with his Ax He loves people and wood. He'd likely appreciate it.

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

Awesome!

[@karenwaters3497]

Oh, I LOVE the bookworm. Please will you do a video on that? I'm new to carving and I've started with the (hardware store broom handle/dowel) lighthouse, which is such fun. Thank you for all your videos, they are my happy place!

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Get well soon Doug, good video!

[@Dsmuyt]

[@MrSteamDragon]

Tip: from an old fella with dodgy hands. Whilst using a knife is still fine, getting rid of the raw finish on the end grains of say a 2 x 2" block really gives me a lot of grief, even if the knife is super sharp. So not to be put off i tried a flat gouge instead...voila ! Why i didn't think of this before I have no idea. Anyway a wide #3 does the trick and its not a bad finish either. Just a thought....happy carvings folks 😄

[@mikemcguire8351]

Thanks Doug. Hope you feel better soon.0
