@@wood-psyche yea all good mate

[@AmyJo143]

Paul, I'm just in awe of your art. Just stunning! ✌️

[@wood-psyche]

Thanks AJ, appreciate that, hope you’re having fun with your channel. I need to check it out more, just been super busy. I hope you had some good sales at the craft fair, best regards to you!🌝

[@AmyJo143]

@wood-psyche awe thank you. The channel is definitely a work in progress. Still just winging it. Ha. Take care ✌️

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

That is a crazy big pine knot! Great carve, and a beautiful piece. I haven't used my new die grinder or the Kutzall bits I got for it yet, but I will once I can secure my work. I agree, both hands on those is best. I'm saving up for a jawhorse, n hope that will work for all my carving needs, from chainsaw and angle grinder, to diegrinder and Dremel. Hoping to get out and finally find some pine knots this year too.

[@wood-psyche]

Thanks Kjirsten, appreciate the thoughtful comment, those knots can be pretty hefty, vices, etc. are definitely invaluable when working with these behemoths. Good luck with your projects!🌝

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

@@wood-psyche Thank you. And thank you for all the videos too.👍😃

[@Flashbry]

What a lovely piece of wood and you have done such a great job of revealing the spirit within. Well done!

[@wood-psyche]

Thanks, appreciate that🌝!!

[@michaellafleur2077]

Paul hope your doing well, That carving is top notch the features are so true to life buddy, and that knot is the biggest one I ever seen, holy shit man good find. See you on the next one.

[@wood-psyche]

Thanks Mike, this was one of the biggest knots I used. You have to adjust face sizes to a bigger chunk of wood for sure. I’m on the look out always, for this type, kinda hard to find. 🌝!

[@markanthony559]

That's a really cool bit of wood! I dub him stalactite man! Lol keep up the great work 👍👍👍

[@wood-psyche]

Nice video Paul! I'm going to mention this video, your channel, and your website in the next episode of Wood Carving Weekly.

[@wood-psyche]

Hey thanks I appreciate that!🌝All the best to you!

[@whittling]

My pleasure Paul.@@wood-psyche

[@mikE_6-28]

Hello WP. That’s a large one for sure. Great carve! Right now, I’m working on one of your pine knots that I won a few months ago. I still have 2 left. I love the smell as you carve. Take care and thanks again.

[@wood-psyche]

Awesome to hear that, be cool to see what you do with ‘em. Sure they’ll look good!🌝

[@mikE_6-28]

Thanks WP.

[@MattCarves]

Awesome. Went to buy the milwaukee and in New Zealand they only come with 6mm collet not the 1/4 inch. Looks like a great tool though

[@wood-psyche]

Very cool Matt, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It works well for me. Thanks!🌝🌝

[@caseymcelmurry1391]

You are welcome Paul. nice job

[@wood-psyche]

Yeah thanks again, appreciate that Casey🌝!

[@mikeshellito6621]

Great carving Paul ! How much life are you getting out of the Milwaukee batteries? Just curious, now that you've used it a while.

[@wood-psyche]

Thanks Mike, I would estimate 20 minutes per battery with moderate use. Think I’ll do a proper test soon along with a video, maybe cover things in detail.🌝 Thanks for giving me an idea for another video!

[@ccarbe3878]

Love your work

[@wood-psyche]

Thank you!

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

defo leveled up on this one!!

[@wood-psyche]

Much thanks man, yeah I went a bit further with this one, paid off imo. Hopefully I’ll be upping some chainsaw vids here shortly… Hope yer all good!🌝

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

@@wood-psyche i defo always respond with "im good" whenever someone asks me how im doing, and i am , as a;ways, for the most part. :D just incapable of doing anything else besides learning these programming languages. Carving is gonna have to wait right now as far as that goes unfortunatly. loved this video though, a lot of nice knowledge u are sharing in this video. Just dont have the energy right now to apply it but it has registered for sure. will definetly apply some of it, and likely record some of it in the future. but yeah i stopped apolagizing for it as well as promoising stuff i cant deliver on.. Just too much going on, i have to move soon as well because my building is gonna get torn down, and they ofc like to pressure me to move out fast. and dont be mistaken these are some sociopathic people that do this kinda work so thats a battle on its own.... so i have ofcourse started my own process in thiss whole thing.. but aside from everything thats going on im in a good state and i hope i can actually use this crap to my advantage eventually :). The carving part will return but i basicly dont have the headspace for it right now if that makes sense. anyway this vid isnt about my issues and moaning about them in the comments Loved watching your process and really nice how you ellaborate on it, defo a great video. and i took a lot away from this. will apply once the dust settles :D Hope you are good too. wish you all the best and keep the vids comming :) ill watch them all! All the best from the netherlands!

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

I also have started gathering more free wood, got a lot of conifer soon, been helping them out cutting it all up etc, just havent picked it up yet :D but really nice wood :D

[@wood-psyche]

@@MathieusChainsawCarvings Sorry to hear you have to move, looked liked you had a decent work area. Hopefully it’s not difficult but the timing might be problematic if you’re still going to school. Pine knots are usually on the smaller side when I find them, but this knot was a monster, most likely something from an old growth tree. I’m looking for more and plan to give 1 or 2 away when I reach 2k for a contest. I’m sure you are coming up with some ideas though for future projects, looking forward to seeing your new projects. Good luck with school, hope you find another house soon (with a workshop!) Take care!

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

@@wood-psyche ah no i dont need to move from there, my work area is at family's place, just have to move from my rental place. they wanna tear it down end of september, just need to get them to pay me off a little more in my advantage so to speak, some bureaucratic stuff still to get through basicly, not really my thing. Defo been setting some boudaries etc, i will not be pressured, and i defo need more coins if they want me to move out before their deadline ;) haha.. im waiting for some new offer at the moment. and then ill probably still want more hehe so yeah it may all work out in my advantage, i kinda wanna build a cabin next to the workplace if i can get that all sorted! so that would actually be awesome if it works out. So no worries my workplace is not in danger! :D

Quelle bel sculpture , les années de pratique et des gestes surs et précis ! Tu as bien raison de porter l'accent sur la sécurité, à une main c'est dangereux et je suis admiratif de ces sculpteur qui passent à quelques cm de leur main qui tiens le bois ... Je suis débutant et je la tiens à deux main ou je porte un gant sur l'autre. Est-ce que le Pin que tu utilise est le même bois que ceux que nous avons en Europe ? Ja t'avais je crois demandé puisque tu connais la France si tu as essayé de sculpter nos bois européens ? Sur que tu y arriverais mais pour un débutant c'est difficile quoique bien sur l'expérience y fait beaucoup ! Ta sculpture est finement réalisée et les traits sont harmonieux c'est très différent des Woodspirits à barbe, quoique je les aime beaucoup. Le haut du cône que tu as laissé à l'état brut fait vraiment office de chapeau, c'est un cosaque très réussi ! Félicitations Paul ! Merci pour cette belle vidéo !

[@wood-psyche]

Merci Oui, je sculpte depuis environ 12 ans maintenant, mais j'ai des compétences en peinture et en dessin avant de sculpter. Peut-être que cela aide. Les noeuds de bois que je trouve ici dans l'Oregon proviennent du pin ponderosa et du pin tordu latifolié. Il pourrait s'agir d'espèces différentes de celles de l'Europe. Mais je pense qu'ils pourraient être similaires à la plupart des autres conifères de la famille des pins. Parfois, j'organise un concours pour mes abonnés pour gagner des noeuds de pin ou d'autres trucs, alors restez à l'écoute. J'aurai un concours quand j'aurai atteint 2k abonnés. J'expédie dans le monde entier. J'essaie de faire des visages différents parce que c'est toujours amusant d'essayer de créer de nouvelles expressions. Merci pour votre soutien, Bonne chance dans vos projets de sculpture, Wp
