The tip about keeping hands in contact was very helpful. Thank you!

[@fernnewell6032]

Cute little guy and I enjoy the chitchatting while you are carving. It just makes it a pleasure to watch and listen too.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Mark!

[@johnjude2685]

I'm drawing your beautiful mouse and my wife's idea for me to copy it. Thanks for the motivation Want to add that mine was finished and it turned out cute Wife loves it and it went very well. It was the first time I draw the shape front and back and I mounted it on a nail that sticks up from a base of wood into a drilled hole up and between his legs and I can lift it anytime or if wind hits it it's safe. Just saying thanks for teaching Sir

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Oh, cool! No prob!

[@williammedeiros6338]

[@michaelkoster8412]

Thanks for "squeaking" this fine fellow into the carving videos. Well done!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

hahaha good one

[@mrs.americanmade7452]

LOVE me some Lil Mousers! That is one thing I have collected over the years.....Just adore them. at age 5 I played or held lil newborn mice in our barn, did not know at the time but they were probably baby rats, their eyes were not open yet, I did not know what they were, they were just so tiny and cute.....YIKES! Thanks Alec for another piece of wood brought to life, made me chuckle, so magically funny, is that a word magically, lol

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Wow! You were a fearless little kid, love it!! Glad you found it magically funny!

[@nmo8033]

The word you're looking for is anthropomorphic. Good carving!

[@suegalloway7699]

Thanks

[@kcrowe559]

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Very cool!

[@rumpple4skin976]

was just wondering what to carve next great timing

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Glad to hear !

[@cloudysilverpaws]

Anthropomorphize is the right word for your cute fellow. And yes, coming up with that word made think, "He is a smart guy!" Thank you for some inspiration for this beginner.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Donna! haha!

[@81_bomnal]

간단하고 귀여운 쥐❤

[@suegalloway7699]

I like the mouse

[@user-vg1jb5mt1u]

Thanks for the video. Can you please post a link to the design

[@docinparadise]

That basswood piece has a really wide grain. The stuff if get hardly has a visible grain at all.

[@Hobbyen-met-Peter]

Hello Alec, you mention a picture of the pattern in the left uppercorner, bur I think you forgot all about it. do you have the pattern for me?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I'm so sorry about that, I totally forgot about the reference! I don't have a pattern but I recommend pausing the video at the end and using the finished project as a go-by.

[@Hobbyen-met-Peter]

OK, will do, Alec. Say hello to Doug when you are speaking with him, I've learned a lot from him, throughout his videos.

[@westbsa7424]

[@frieda2957]

Echt süß die Maus, würde ich gern versuchen nachzumachen, aber nicht so leicht oder? Was hast du für Spray benutzt , bevor du die Farbe aufgetragen hattest? Danke 😊👍

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!! I used matte poly from minwax

[@juliariley528]

I like you carvings would you do a Snoopy for me

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good idea! I might do that!

[@sannycampbell817]

How are you holding the camera?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Magic

[@mrs.americanmade7452]

😅🤣😂If Nothing else, Mine turned out to be a GOOD mouse deterrent , I can set my mouser out and if Mice see him they will head for the Hills! ROFLMAO His ears popped off and unglueable if that is a word so I carved a couple and made them a hole to glue em in, looks okay but the eyes on mine look like Frankenmouser, Oh my, I am gonna make a second one now and hopefully improve on it 😁😆 I am ADHD and I tend to try and hurry up so I need to remind myself when carving that I HAVE to slow down

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

haha! Love it!! In my first attempt I busted the tail off!

[@chrisp.76]

Very cute. I still hate mice!

[@gizzardpuke4056]

I use flexcut and have a range of blades , but I haven't seen this blade in the range so far , I do live in England so I may not get the full range flexcut has to offer, I quite like the blade so I will keep my eyes pealed. Gorgeous little mouse 🐁 🪤.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!! Hopefully you find it!
