How To Carve A Coffee Scoop - Aaron Garrett

[@Zedoutdoors]

I also filmed this video with Aaron - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2OVp31-bc1ni5Y

[@pondlife1952]

Your accuracy with the carving axe is something to behold. I need to practice a whole lot more. Happy New Year.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Happy new year to you too and sincerely appreciate you stopping by ~Peace~

[@NickJohnsonD]

Thanks so much to Zed and Aaron for sharing this with us. These are wonderful little masterclasses that are worth re-watching.

[@Zedoutdoors]

That is very kind of you to say so Nick thank you! ~Peace~

[@unitytira4954]

Thank you so much Aaron and Zed for this detailed video. Aaron appreciate your patience in teaching how to to carve the coffee scoop. This one on this episode is a new perspective for me. I’ll treasure this one in my carving journey. Blessings.

[@Zedoutdoors]

We sincerely appreciate your kind words thank you ~Peace~

[@waylander7]

Mr. Garrett is a master at both instruction and technique. As always, thanks for the great content, Zed. 🙏🏻

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed he is a very talented guy and I appreciate your kind words thank you ~Peace~

[@bluesideup007]

Another great video. This is my second viewing over almost 2 years. I love to see the approach every craftsman has to each project and piece of wood. I've tried 3 coffee scoops and failed each time: two became sieves when I cut through the bottom, and one just split when it dried. This gives me hope. Thanks Aaron.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Happy to hear this video helped i some way and your own efforts will get there with practise. Man thanks foe watching and happy carving my friend ~Peace~

[@twistedoar]

A wonderful, patient, thorough and enjoyable lesson. Well carved and well documented. Thank you both for the experience.

Aaron certainly has a talent, with a nice demeanour but I’m sure he would not be here had he not experienced some of the grumpy old guard to inspire him to take up the chalice.

[@martinhazell3147]

[@kan-zee]

10:45 & 30:16 ... I wonder if Aaron has ever accidently, knicked himself with his hatchet ? 24:42 ... I like that A.Garrett is not perfect..or that you, Zed didn't edit out his "over the line" cut/chopping ...well done ...keeping it real. 25:02 ... good safety cuts...well done. 26:41 ... If I used an Adze on my scoop, I would definitely split the whole thing in half...LOL I prefer using up the extra 20 secs , using a Spoon Knife . 31:50 ...enjoy seeing all the different cut techniques , A.Garrett is using with his knife

[@Zedoutdoors]

It was Aarons first time on camera so he was tad nervous as to be expected, that being said he dud super well and is a natural teacher ~Peace~

[@mellieemerton3080]

Sorry of this has been covered in another video but I’ve only seen two of these carving tutorials: where is the wood sourced from? Can you use pallet wood for carving? Many thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Mellie the wood is sourced primarily from tree surgeons and people invokved in woodland management. Reg Pallet wood, no you should not use that for carving because it is treated with chemicals hence not safe to use for spoons, scoops, etc ~Peace~

[@charlessanders3122]

What a master big skills

[@Zedoutdoors]

Amen to that and thank you for watching Charles ~Peace~

[@TommyBoy11]

I have become a real fan of this channel. Love your videos keep up the good work. Question: what's a good option instead of an adze? I'm having a very hard time finding an adze.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Tom I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching, reg the Adze you don;t need that at all. A better option is to simply use your spoon knife to do some initial hollowing which is what most people do including Aaron before he got the Adze. But the adze is not necessary at all ~Peace~

[@billbucktube]

Good‼️

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you ~Peace~

[@cedarcanoe]

Great instruction video. I will prefer making a larger version of those. Think that’s a bit safer to work on.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Linda this tool is called an 'Adze' and this particular one is made by Hans Karlsson, there are other makers of it too ~Peace~

@@Zedoutdoors okay thanks very much for getting back to me

[@adamhumphries6918]

So stupid question time. Is the wood green or dry when carving the scoop? Heard a couple of comments re it splits/ warps when dry

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Adam the wood was green when carved, as long as you dry the scoop slowly upon finishing the carving and that there is no inherent weakness already in the wood (e.g. knots, hairline cracks from axing, etc) then with a small scoop like this you're typically fine ~Peace~
