[@AssafOppenheimer]

@2:05 I learned your definition of sharp!

[@guyvangenechten6484]

Very nice information!!!! Thanks 👍💯👌

[@1pcfred]

Well, I'm off to get a cup of tea now.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice video very informative. I also liked your close up shots!

Hola Chris. Son muy interesantes tus vídeos, Gracias por tu tiempo para enseñarme los diferentes tipos de afilados. No soy profesional como Tú. Soy principiante. Soy tu seguidor. Saludos cordiales desde Juárez México. Joe Ortiz

[@razvanbutiac7684]

And I prefer enthusiasts! I never question the lever of professionalism... I like how you move...:-), hundred of hours on the work bench are visible... and you know what I mean, this cannot be played. Congrats!

[@rdaugherty52]

Thank you very informative just the tool I've been having problems with.😀

[@Shanshi22]

hola, me encantan tus videos, muy bien explicados! gracias! Hi! I love you videos, very well explained! thanks!

[@AwesomeAndrew]

well this confirmed what I thought for a while, my v-tools suck. They can't even cut wood at all, they just dig in and make terrible indents in the wood. I think I might start using a tea spoon as its probably going to be better result

Andrew - Don't despair! On Woodcarving Workshops.tv there are 8 long videos where I walk you through sharpening your V tool, step-by-step, along with a detailed, accompanying download. There are specific targets at the end of each step and if you complete these you are guaranteed a keen V tool at the end of it, and a deep understanding of the process. Yes, you need to subscribe - WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv costs a huge amount in time and money to build and run it. However, you can sign up for just one month, go through the V tool sharpening and have the download (and the benefit of the other 560 videos and 50-odd downloads on the site) - all for the cost of a coffee and bagel!

Awesome Andrew - Straight up, every carver who has sharpened a V tool has had to learn how to do it, including me. It's a skill. Neat and tidy, and in the end a lot easier than carving itself. My best advice is to subscribe to WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv - which you can do for a month - and go through the full V tool sharpening lessons, step by step. You don't pass to step 2 until you have step 1 looking like I show you. There's a download that lists these steps too. If you do this, you WILL sharpen your V tool, and I bet you do, can do, and will do, far more difficult things in your life.

Que buenas gubias en V necesito unas, donde las puedo encontrar aunque sean de uso

[@bhimkumarsharma8640]

I need to purchase this. I'm from india

[@dustind7509]

Thx again, your tools look really sharp, someone needs to translate this video into chinese so they come that way when you buy them lol.

[@youremybiggestfan]

Sir, im looking to buy a few quality tools to start with, i mostly do detailed work like ornamental / figure carving.. There is so much out there so i wonder if yo have any suggestions or like the most used / basic sizes and shapes used? Like what chisels i can do the most with? Great video

[@woodcarvingworkshop]

Tito - That's a difficult question; carvers are very different in what they like to use. My best advice is to subscribe to WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv - which you can do for a month - have a look through the 650 video lessons and projects there and see what's like you are doing. Then look to the downloads (there are nearly 70 now) of the project tool lists and you'll see what I'm using. That should help you decide. Pfeil, Taylor, Iles, Stubai are all decent makes.

[@jeppestrale]

Thanks for another great video! So educational, ad such a great teacher. Hahaha, cuppa tea...

Hello All. Be assured that I have no financial interest in recommending that anyone with even a mild interest in woodcarving subscribe for a month or two. I did, once upon a time, and five years later I'm still there! Believe me, once you do, you will never need to look at any other videos on any woodcarving topic. Any I truly mean ANY! From making your own stopping paste to lessons in carving in perspective, it's all there. It's actually quite addictive..

[@dgwaugaman8636]

That's cruel to con one into joining, and paying, for your club.

[@randomusername987]

Solutions to that problem are actually: dont buy shit quality and: learn to sharpen them yourself.

[@razvanbutiac7684]

Yap... join to see forward... shame gents, not free!!!

[@woodcarvingworkshop]

Razvan - Let me just run something quietly by you here: Head over to the Woodcarving Workshops website and you'll see it's been professionally built, has over 670 videos and 70 working drawing downloads - just for starters. We sunk our savings into building and developing it, putting new high quality videos up every month putting in our time and paying all the bills and support ourselves. You also get my experience a highly respected master carver, who's been carving and teaching for over 40 years. I guess so much on the web is free that we've come to expect it. But let me ask you, Razyan, seriously, how can that be free? What to we charge? About the cost of a cup of coffee and bagel, A MONTH! You could sign up for a month, ransack the site for what you need and unsubscribe. It's not free but it's pretty close, isn't it? So, not ashamed at all!
