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

[@josephadkins549]

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

[@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! 🤣

[@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!

[@arthurh5707]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@bernardsmith5904]

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

[@Stealthbobber06]

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

[@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!!!!

[@JohnDProffitt]

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

[@whittler0507]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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).

[@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..😂

[@marca5883]

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

[@putridreviews]

Cool idea, one with a mouse in would be fun

[@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?

[@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!

[@NikkijsNWA]

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

[@brendaroberts8417]

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

[@HOOSIERDADDY999]

Thank you Doug You are the Bob Ross of carving

[@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

[@GodmadeConscious]

Looove that! You're lovely, Doug

[@daverowland3782]

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

[@tomevans4402]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@sully4875]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 +

[@marymcmanus]

I think Shawn James should have a little door for his new cabin❤️

[@deanjernstrom3760]

Always something.Great idea.Your smaart

[@tjkoker]

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

[@mistymountainwoodcraft]

Great video! Looking forward to the painting video.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.😊

[@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 :)

[@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!!!

[@aminmuhammad-dbf]

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

[@CreativelyYoursByGloria]

Great scrap wood project

[@rubenfilipe1987]

[@richardh1764]

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

[@johnduffy6546]

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

[@Joereads]

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

[@timweedon4637]

Great stuff Doug, cheers.

[@davidquerry8869]

Fun idea Doug. Totally enjoyed.

[@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

[@vladimpaler9274]

Great idea Doug 👍🏻 the doors are really neat!

[@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

[@hughtempleton8640]

Fantastic carving as always Doug . 😀

[@ginabirks4910]

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

[@camrock8]

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

[@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!

[@incusbone]

Thanks!

[@joeyhardin1288]

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

[@michaelvannoy7566]
