[@LeeStoffer]

TheWizzkid67 Go careful Kid! Cheers ;0)

[@capcon6]

Very nice work brother.

[@knightlylad]

Hi Lee, it was nice meeting you at The European Woodworking Show on the 12th September, I'am glad I purchased the scorp, it's awsome, I like the white honing compound and the leather/suede you had for sale, I made a paddle strop for my shaving razors, it's works beautifully, I wish you good like with your projects, I am the guy with the walking stick and the white cap by the way, abbas, enjoyed the chat, all the best.

[@twotonanchor]

Great video. Enjoyed it!

[@LeeStoffer]

Jacob Brandl Pleased to hear that, thanks for watching.

[@AndrewByham]

Yay, new techniques to try out! Thanks for sharing

[@LeeStoffer]

Andrew Byham I'd strongly recommend avoiding the hollowing technique unless you can find some sort of protection for the wrist/forearm of the spoon holding hand. I've no idea what experience you have so don't want to try and tell you what you can and can't do but I had a few near misses developing this technique. It's fairly efficient but there are definitely safer ways to hollow a spoon bowl. Happy carving.

[@AndrewByham]

I'm ok with the hollowing with my hook knife, it's the axe work I'm interested in, and the finishing cuts. That's where I'm weakest. Cheers Lee, really helpful you sharing these videos

[@LeeStoffer]

Andrew Byham Glad to hear that and that you're learning something from the videos, thanks for watching.

[@nuttiBONG]

Interesting to se how versatile the spoon scorp is there at the end. Cheers !

[@dominicm6144]

Yeah nice - inspiring to watch. Great result too.

[@turiskogogmark9500]

Awsome axe use! Thanks for sharing.

[@Joe_Sant]

Great video Lee, your a clever fella. Thanks for sharing..

[@matherace]

I liked you as an outdoorsman and spoon carver and shit but the tracks you add to these vids are doper than dope.

[@LeeStoffer]

Matherace ASMR cheers man, they are made by a good friend and awesome hiphop producer that I've known for 20 years now, I'm only using the instrumentals, he produces tracks with great mc's too. thanks for watching!

[@adammiller2230]

What kind of wood is that?

[@LeeStoffer]

Adam Miller It's Silver Birch Adam. (Betula pendula).

[@windhamcabin]

Spectacular!

[@survivaldeutschland]

as always pretty awesome, you have some realy nice tools`! i special like the last one, that was your invention right`?

[@LeeStoffer]

Survival Deutschland Thanks very much, the spoon scorp concept came from Chris Grant, a good mate of mine and top class blade smith, he made the first one I'd seen as a commission for me six or so years ago. I've been using them and developing the tool with Nic Westemann for a few years now with Chris's blessing. With Nic's input it's become a tool that I now produce for sale in small batches available on my website when in stock.

[@survivaldeutschland]

awesome, let me know if you guys are ready, i am interestet in one :) till now i use a frost knife and cut my self quid a lot with it...i am kinda over that thing^^

[@LeeStoffer]

Survival Deutschland there might still be one or two in stock on the website www.covertcraft.com/store

[@muddog1561]

+Survival Deutschland I always use a glove, they help with holding the piece, and they minimize the severity of a cut.

[@renter6]

1:49 great look at that axe.

[@AdamzAesthetics]

what was the first tune called ? Btw great vid.

[@LeeStoffer]

+LynX Thanks the tune is CruDay from the 4our3ree EP by my good friend and awesome producer Mr Brown. Check it out here. mrbrownukt.bandcamp.com/album/4our3ree-ep

[@lewisward8483]

Well done. Should be helpful. Our vision doesn't jerk when we chop with an axe, but it does show the forces at play that we compensate for! Is the lighter axe one of Nic's?

[@LeeStoffer]

Lewis Ward Thanks Lewis, the amount of camera shake really took me by surprise! The lighter axe is one I made myself with Nic's tuition, the heavier one we made a couple of years ago demonstrating at the bodgers ball.

[@HomeImProveMentHow]

Good job thanks for sharing, how long have you been making spoons? Why don't people make Forks? Can you finish your spoons do you use any kind of wax with your oil? What kind of oil do you use if you use oil? I'm new to your community I look forward to hearing from you, bye for now God bless, Ken

[@daddy-bear8168]

hey! good job! what the name of the second axe? thanks! :)

[@LeeStoffer]

thanks, it's my own design I made at a friends forge.

[@trellis5615]

The beginning was kind of choppy (pun intended). After that the camera settled down to some smooth knife work...excellent.

[@goompapa]

I see you've played knifey spoony before...

[@LeeStoffer]

john espin lol, once or twice ;0)

[@barlotardy]

Having carved my first spoon, I've concluded that you must have forearms of steel! Everything from the elbow down feels like a truck backed over it...

[@LeeStoffer]

Bradford Taylor lol, Thanks Bradford, they get used to it after a while! just keep eating ya spinach and carving spoons and you'll have forearms like Popeye in no time!

[@muddog1561]

I quit doing all of that axe work a lot of years ago. I will chop out just what I need to then switch to my knives.

[@LeeStoffer]

+muddog1561 Thanks for watching and commenting, interesting that you prefer the knife work, the axe work is my favourite part of the job!

[@muddog1561]

+Lee Stoffer I used to do a lot of my spoons and bowls with an axe, shaving horse and a draw knife. My shaving hose rotted years ago and I have been too lazy to make another one. I talk to you when I'm watching your videos, and cringing because I have destroyed a lot of spoons over the years with my axe. Lol.

[@cesaralvarez5982]

Sorry, but a minute and half into the video, I started to get a headache from the movement and vibration of the camera. Could have been a good video.
