How to Whittle an Old Salty Fisherman with just a Knife (1x1 series)

[@angelageorge1966]

Yours is the best teaching site I have found Doug. Your carvings are detailed but your teaching skills and guidance are second to none. Because of you I have carved a number of characters thank you 😁

[@beaunaro]

I’m really glad to see you’re excited to expand and continue the 1x1 series. Nice size to take with you anywhere, and carve when you can. Thank you, Doug.

[@jdego1]

1x1 Series is great! I think I've watched every video since 2019 love to watch anything you do.

[@bernardmcmahon7434]

Thanks Doug. Tried my hand at an old fisherman a year or two ago and never finished it. This again is another great tutorial. You have a knack for making your tutorials interesting and fun to watch. Can't wait to get started on this and the pumpkin.

[@futuristicbear9040]

Doug Linger I have to say thank you for all your videos. I have learned to carve because of your videos. I love watching you carve little characters to larger bark faces. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@tonyjoe5707]

Ah, I absolutely love these 1 x 1's, and so do my two grandkids. Their bedrooms shelves have them all lined up. I have to do two of each the same for them, so there's no arguments on who gets what 😁 Then my wife will usually want me to do one for her desk in school, as a talking point for the kids. Then of course there's the neighbours kids😂 I find them easier to hold and whittle, plus that size of wood is easier for me to get. My grandkids saw me watching one of your videos and asked if I could do them one. So I thought why not, and that's what got me hooked. I found your videos were put over perfectly for me and I could confidently follow them. I still need to follow a tutorial as I'm not artistic or skillful enough to do it from scratch. If you ever need to carve a 1 x 1 golfer I'd love to do one for my brother (hint, hint 😉😁) or if anyone knows where I can find one, any size. So thanks from us all for taking the time and sharing the nuggets 👍

[@darren3258]

Love all your videos, but the 1x1 is definitely my favourite, that series got me into all this . Hours of fun. Thank you 😊 🙏

[@dantippin6107]

Hi Doug I am really enjoying your 1” x 1” carving series! I just completed the Pumpkin Head Man and am half way through the Salty Fisherman. These carvings are accessible to anyone wanting to try their hand at carving and fun for someone with more experience! The ability throw a 1” x 1” hunk of wood and a carving knife into a pocket, makes it the perfect project to take on a walk and work on in quiet moments. Have you ever thought of carving a Viking in the 1” x 1” or 1 ½” x 1 ½” format? I would love to see your take on a Viking or a Viking with an axe and or a shield! The simple things in life like a sharp knife, a piece of wood and quiet time to create, feed the soul and a person’s creative juices. Thanks you for sharing your carving journey with us! You have inspired many to discover the simple joy of carving.

[@richardwood458]

[@AdventureIndiana]

Great video. I went to make a sea captain/fisherman and ended up with a policeman. He told he was really a cop, so I said that was good enough for me. I dig the beard man. This week I made a s’more for the fall. He turned out pretty good

[@BillMurphy-pn2ip]

[@HandMade2018]

So Good! Thank you for all you share

[@Green_Islander]

Fun carving! I'm also hooked on 1x1 carvings, they're really practical. I've been exploring the idea of adding movement to them, so I'm happy to hear you're planning to create some content about that.

[@ladyliberty417]

Good to see you Doug!! They are so cute I wish I had them on my mantle!! I’m gonna have to carve them myself😍

[@markb8954]

Ps - I really like the addition of the bases. Something sturdy to stand on, terra firma !

[@indianatone218]

Brilliant Doug ,so glad you did these they are a nice project better still 1 x 1 thats just right for my wallet lol cheers buddy .

[@casper1240]

[@Cliff1949Mr]

I am very happy you are now doing flat carving, I have tried before with no good results so Thank you.

[@roseannegibson3343]

Really awesome

[@QuintTheSharker]

Man, doing the face last is nerve-wracking, let alone doing the eyes last! That's always the easiest part for me to screw up. Can't wait to give this one a try

[@nitinjagtap9848]

Hi daug, love from India. Thanks for sharing videos.

[@wattsnex2725]

Linker…making carving cool for years

[@phillipebaccam142]

Very nice!

[@christophermartin7973]

Love it quite fun to watch.

[@TheNeffen]

Can't wait to give these a go! =D

[@BillO964]

Love the 1 x 1 carvings, my favorite. I bought a huge piece of basswood from my local hardwood guy to cut up on the bandsaw to smaller chunks Wow is that stuff tough to carve. Very hard and dense. Gonna put it aside for something else and find some better basswood...😊. My poor 70 year old hands cant stand the abuse anymore.

[@sebfaille5607]

As usual great video Doug! Id love to see a video of the painting part . Keep it up man !

[@erikzaal5825]
