You're very welcome my friend :-)

Love the role playing. Glad you are back making videos.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Me too :-) thanks

[@chablispark]

I also like the old version and straight talk. Great video! Merci.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks for the comment and your opinion.

I whittled this guy as my third project. The features on mine didn't end up being as refined but he still looks cute. I can't wait to paint him.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Hi Vlad, loved the Stuart carving and the Stuart character. You make the carving and storytelling so much fun. I'm currently carving a chess set for my son-in-law who asked me to do it so he can have a memento when I've gone to carving place in the sky. You inspired me with the Nativity scene done by you dad as a keepsake to remember him by. Have 4 grandchildren and want to do Max the dog and Stuart the mouse fro them so they also can have a keepsake from poppop. Thanks for sending me the links to print out the cutouts for carving. I just got some tracing paper in the mail (100 sheets, oh my lifetime supply) to use to copy the patterns to the blocks of wood. Have a scroll saw which I will use for the rough cuts. I'm here in the US in New Jersey. I'm polish and my wife czech. We were both born in this country so unfortunately only speak english. Look forward to your carving with the step by step which is a great help. Been carving about 3 years and just turned 76, hey better late than never. Retired because of the covid last March so have the time to carve with a few other hobbies. Ok Vlad stay well, stay safe and keep on carving !

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thank you for your story Walter. Your grand kids will be proud of you and maybe they will do some whittling too. :-) I will see you around.

[@hildahickey6964]

It was so good to see you again! Please don't stay away. Loved your video!

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

I can't promise anything anymore, but I will do my best. ;-) Thanks for your support and patience.

[@theaverageviewer6331]

Great little starter project. Love the fact that you provide patterns. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it!

New subscriber. Well done, bravo, and a big thank you Vladimir!

[@amandaodeay1509]

He's adorable!!! Can't wait to try him! Glad you're back!!

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks Amanda. I have made very easy to carve I believe. Let me know how that worked for you.

[@markyehle6355]

I enjoyed your Labrador video and will start on it today. I also liked your longer versions because it gives some additional helpful information. Also, a little of the mouse voice goes a long way. :-)

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thank you! :-) I really appreciate your comment.

[@BasswoodCarving]

Glad your back, always enjoy your videos!

Thanks my friend.

Another great tutorial! It has been a while and good to see you back. Use whichever mode of video you like best both are entertaining and informational. It's a matter of preference but I prefer your normal voice. You are afterall, addressing adults not kids. Thank you for the patterns, I have made both the wizard Elric and his lady, Luna the witch. They were easy following your instructions.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thank you for your opinion and appreciate your support.

[@eadawannanamer1324]

thank you for the video its a very good one for a newbie like me thanks again keep up the good work

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks for your support. Appreciate it a lot.

Loved every minute of presentation! Keep up the good work and stay healthy.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

I wish the good health for everyone. And I really appreciate your opinion.

[@timleaning6695]

Thank you for the video.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks for watching!

[@c3foto]

I’m really missing your fantastic videos. Will you be posting any new ones anytime soon? It would be a real shame if you decided to stop posting for good. I find your work to be one of the best instructional videos I’ve found so far. Although this one is humorous, I must say that I do prefer the traditional ones. Whatever the reason you haven’t posted any videos for a good while, I hope you are safe and that you and yours are doing well.

[@jmh119]

Glad to see you back again! Looking forward to carving this one too. As for myself, I like the other version. Though I must admit, I would like to see what you come up with for the cat! :)

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks Jim for your opinion. ;-)

[@2371Anita]

This is totally awesome!

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks for the vote. It is something new and a bit crazy thats for sure.. :D

[@SewWhittle]

Just found your channel. Have you stopped making videos?

[@wimvangeyt3866]

Hi Vladimir: yes it is funny the way this story telling and walkthrough is made by you. It also fits with the mouse character. Think for that kind of projects that will me most entertaining, but the old style explaining is also very nice, so combine them. Maybe you interracting with the character? Thought never lose sight of the splendid explanation you always give. Cause that's the most important for us newbees ;)

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

thanks for your honest opinion mate

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Liked your old style much better ! Most of us I believe are adults and I personally didn’t find this to be funny, if that’s what you were trying for. But thanks for the video and nice to see you back.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks for your opinion. I really appreciate honest people!

[@whittler0507]

Nice project and good carve ..keep ot up

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thank you Gene. I always appreciate when you write here on in facebook. And sorry that I don't write under your vids. I've seen lot of them and find them very good, just don't have too much time to watch it all. I will always try to do it my way and promote it more over here in Europe. Also youngsters need it..hopefully I will find the way how to keep it alive over here. see you around.

[@whittler0507]

@@HomeWoodSpirit you dont have to comment ..Iam just enjoying watching all these great carving videos

[@22ceedee]

I liked this version very much ,also the camera work was exceptional and sound was great . but I do like your old version as well ....maybe you could some of each . thank you for this and good work !

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Yes. This looks like I will play a little intro story and then give you the whole video :-) I like to play the stories with it even if its childish. haha

[@22ceedee]

glad to see your back and safe ... where have you been !

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Hi Claire. well what to say...I like to see you around as well. I really appreciate your patience with me..

[@BillyBigBaws]

Glad your back, but prefer old way of videos to be honest, also where you getting helvie knife from in Europe.

[@dersonntagsschnitzer4827]

You can get Helvie knives from the States. I ordered OCC knives a while ago and I live in Germany. But at the moment there are no Helvie knives available from the manufacturer. That's the reason I bought OCC tools.

[@BillyBigBaws]

@@dersonntagsschnitzer4827 thanks

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Imported these about 1 year ago when Rich was not that busy. It still cost me a double price, but it is worth it. Good luck with it.

[@BillyBigBaws]

@@HomeWoodSpirit thanks for reply, was hoping someone in Europe was importing them, can be very expensive getting anything over from US , they have a lot of choice ,maybe one day I can get hold of one. Cheers

[@user-22-]

This was hilarious!!!! I haven’t checked in for a while & have missed your little creature videos. Personally, I LOVE the *longer* videos, I find them relaxing & informative. Isn’t that what carving is all about?? 😄 Great job! 👋🏼

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Ok. :-) This is great to know. Thank you for your support.

[@tommydrybread4075]

How do I down load the pattern,

[@adamhumphries6918]

Very nice video mate, love the pattern. I actually enjoyed Stuart walking us through this, so that's at least one vote 😀 More of these please, I need that dastardly cat next 😂😂😂

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Thanks Adam for your opinion. It helps a lot.

[@rezarashidi6700]

Hi, I have a knife. The two things I do with it lose their sharpness. Its steel material is also German. I also sharpen it with oil stone, but it is not good again.

[@kenharris7707]

I'm having trouble downloading the patterns any ideas why thanks

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

It should work. Try it again when you have time.

[@colinrobbins6713]

Vladimir what knife did you use, and where did get it from?

[@robertrobison3480]

Looks like a helvie to me. 1 and 3/4 roughout knife. Helvie knives.

[@colinrobbins6713]

@@robertrobison3480 I thought that too, and I am trying to buy a helvie, but find it difficult, Vladimir lives in Europe and not in USA, so he may shed some light?

[@robertrobison3480]

@@colinrobbins6713 Right now Rich is really behind in knives. Look at his website. Ebay has a few. But that price is ridiculous.

[@HomeWoodSpirit]

Haha :D thanks for the vote. I like to play these roles sometimes. I will probably combine it somehow. Appreciate it a lot. Which one is your favourite video so far? It can be Doug Linkers if you want to.. :DD
