Whittling A Bird From A Tree Branch (4K)

[@kenedgerly6473]

nothing more soothing than the sound of a sharp knife cutting thought green wood. the chirping of birds in the background also helps.

I am very new in whittling and I am looking for small projects to do and be able to grow in confidence and skills in whittling. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Thank you so much for your pleasant approach in introducing this specific project, Blessings 😊

[@le_spud8530]

As someone who is just delving into whittling, I really enjoyed this video!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks

[@lsseaside7303]

That was an excellent carving class! Thanks so much!

[@jeffcalvin5516]

Thanks for your video Harry. Very nice basic instruction to lead anyone into carving/whittling. Cheers from USA.

[@brutus3631]

im just starting to whittle, and i think my first little project will be a birdie as well. amazing video and your energy is very soothing! ❤️

[@jamescodling8641]

Love it. Very relaxing and a true gent

[@derekashcroft8115]

Great video Harry, I got my knife out and a spoon I had been working on and whittled along side you. I've never done whittling with any one else before. It was very relaxing. Thanks for your efforts.

[@harryrogers]

That's great Derek. If you are in the UK, you may know of them already, but the Bodgers.org.uk do quite a bit of spoon carving in local meet ups.

[@derekashcroft8115]

Thanks Harry I'll check them out.

[@lsseaside7303]

awww I love birds! so sweet!!! 🦉🐧🦩🦢💕

Thanks Harry, this came at the perfect time since I'm looking to give this a go myself. Congrats on 100k by the way!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Jeff.

[@jamessotherden5909]

Nice project to whittle away at. Loved hearing the birds chirping in the back ground. Well deserved on the 100K subscribers also.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks James.

[@ridgerunner66]

That was very enjoyable Harry. Looking forward to seeing the next video. I may have a new hobby. Thanks for sharing. Davin

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Davin

Excellent work Harry! Very informative. Thank you for sharing. Just a side note, I use the protective tape over the glove on the thumb, index and middle fingers of the hand that I hold the carving in. This gives an added benefit of better grip on the project In addition to extra protection for those fingers.

[@harryrogers]

That sounds smart thanks Tim.

[@CSGraves]

I hadn't thought about it previously, but even if one seldom nicks themselves whittling, the gloves can serve the secondary function of helping prevent blisters, either from the spine or handle of the knife, or from hotspots on the workpiece itself.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

You had company of bird's spring choir as you worked outdoors. Sounded as there may have been a crow possibly alerting to the cat. Crows and jays get raucous when cats and snakes are about. A very pleasant and informative video. Thanks for sharing

[@harryrogers]

Yes they are very lively at the moment.

I love carving. The first item I did was of a civil war soldier with detachable musket and everything. It came out pretty good.

[@mr.ramjangles5165]

Thank you for this video! I enjoy carving morel mushrooms just like this, but want to try birds. Imagine a bookshelf with many of these birds, different types of wood! I want to find those gloves as well!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks and just look for 'cut proof' gloves on Amazon etc.

[@lindalrb3864]

Great video. I have a blue tick, but mine is a bird dog.

[@notaname8140]

9:14 I have those exact gloves and I was a little skeptical at first so I tested them - even with the glove lying on a solid surface and slashing across it with some weight behind it they still don't cut, but like you say they will probably offer little to no protection against a stab. Overall I was pretty impressed with the cut resistance, it's definitely one of the best choices to protect your hands

السلآم عليكم انا من عربي من العراق واحب ان اتعلم منكم الحرفي صنع طاءر من الخشب واحب ان اتعلم لغتكم واتقنها

[@josephpotterf9459]

Thanks Harry,

[@leonmorgans4250]

Congratulations on 100k! Well deserved. I lobe whittling. I like the second knife you used. Any idea where I could find a similar one?

[@harryrogers]

Hi it was Proops knife...they sold off sets very cheaply many years ago, but I notice them coming up on the web, I think they are made in Sheffield by a company beginning with a b, so perhaps a Google.

[@leonmorgans4250]

@@harryrogers will do, thanks.

[@jimmyrustler8983]

Another alternative to an axe that I like to use, is a Khukuri knife. Works a bit like an axe, but a lot more control on smaller pieces of wood 🤙 Another tip for better grip on smaller pieces of wood, is to use a piece of bike inner tube as a grippy pad. I use them a lot for knapping too, stops me from dropping all my arrowheads 🤣

[@lauriemacquanan2141]

I found some curly willow that was very soft.

[@jjj1590]

What type of wood are you using, it looks very close grained.

[@harryrogers]

It's lime wood.

[@robertauld2242]

“I’ve seen a lot of blue tits around here.” is now my favorite KZbin quote. Harry why don’t you give us a list of what you can’t do so we can eliminate you as a source for some arcane craft. Ought to be easy as the list must be very short.

[@LarsKiel]

👍😃

[@closertothetruth9209]

saw a show on the albatross that would be a workout

[@harryrogers]

Haha need a big branch for that!

Yes that is good advice thanks Stuart.
