I can't plane with a planer. You do it with an AXE! 💪What happened at 3:23 ? Love the intro graphic and you're getting better and better with your voice overs 👍 19:10 🤣🤣 .... I see a hole in them gloves. You should keep searching for the best cutr resistant and grippy gloves to be reccommended by W.W.R. Awesome letter opener!

Well … I don’t have a planer 😂 . The flew out the vice, don’t think I tightened it enough. Thanks mate appreciate it! That hole was a close call if I didn’t have them on it would have probably be a trip to A&E 🤣. Good idea for future video👍🏻

You sound kinda nervous... No need to be stressed mate, enjoy life as much as I enjoyed your video. My great grandpa used to carve a lot, I decided to pick up where he left off. Thanks again for this amazing video

[@whittle_with_rik]

Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻

Still getting to grips with speaking on camera

Do you need to wait for the hazel to dry before carving? Nice work.

[@whittle_with_rik]

So this Hazel was cut about 2 months ago and it’s been sat in the garage which is cool and humid (due to cloths dryer) so it slowly loses moisture slowly and hopefully won’t crack. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@whittle_with_rik]

And after you have finished the carving you can put it in wood chips in a bag to reduce cracking until its fully drys out
