Hi Zed. Thanks for your videos. They're a wonderfull insight into this community. Can you please start listing all the makers sites on them? I live in Portugal and I'm having a really hard time finding tools and resources and you could be the hub between the makers and beginners like me. TIA.

[@Zedoutdoors]

@@Adamastor00 I appreciate your kind words, unfortunately I don't have the time to collate all the websites of makers as there are far too many of them to list. If you are based in Portugal, then this is the best tool maker located there - belzeboocrafts.blogspot.com/

Seems like a bit of a carvers paradise!! Wish something like this was near my part of the world! Great stuff💪😎👍

Hate to have to miss it, but crossing the pond is a Long way to go!

[@Zedoutdoors]

I'm totally with you, I feel the same missing out on some amazing events on your side of the pond! ~Peace~

[@josephkerley363]

That looks like a lot of fun to attend. A bit far from Alaska though ... LOL ... great video. Took me a couple of days to watch as I was busy spoon carving in my garage enjoying a light rainfall out. I would like to see you do a good vid on sharpening though.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed it is far from Alaska so hopefully you enjoyed the video of it, I do have videos on sharpening on my channel. I have them listed here for easier access - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials

[@josephkerley363]

I did watch and enjoy the whole video. Thanks for posting it. That was a bit of work to put together. Thanks, I'll check out your other vids.

[@lesamos8900]

I dont see any cuts bandaids or first aid station all so clever due to health issus i started carving and iv been looking for some thing to inspire me iv got an idea now, thank you from the sunshine coast Australia a beut video .

[@Zedoutdoors]

There was a first aid station here and plenty of first aid officers, thankfully no serious issues! Many thanks for watching and take care ~Peace~

[@aliasadi6493]

thanks so much for great video from a fantastic event Zed.

[@Zedoutdoors]

You are very kind Ali and as always it was great seeing you! ~Peace~

[@hummel12ify]

Hi Zed, thanks a lot for this video, much appreciated, I think I will attend next year thanks to you! I was wondering to know when do you plan to upload your Spoonfest video ? I ask because usually you upload it during the summer and I really look forward to watching it too ! Many thanks for your excellent channel !

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi my friend, the Spoonfest video will be out very soon and I look forward to seeing you at next years Spoontown! ~Peace~

[@stirwoodcraft]

Thanks Zed, great video, really got the feels

[@Zedoutdoors]

Much appreciated Sean, was a great event all round and am already looking forward to next years ~Peace~

[@talkin-ape]

Do you happen to know the air dates for Martin's - Channel 5 series "Bead Carving for Beginners"? Also could you ask Martin to pass on contact details for Aristotle's agent please. Spoontown was a fantastic event and I was proud to play a little part in it. Huge thanks to Jill and her crew, who organised and set up a fabulous week for us wood botherers. Shame my class were on breaks the few times you tried to catch us in action, but hey, they needed them. I may have worked them a little too hard..lol

[@Zedoutdoors]

I did try numerous times to catch you with your group in action but alas had no luck, hopefully next time we'll co-ordinate better and I can only apologise in the interim. I'll get those details of the creature for you as a matter of priority! ~Peace~

[@talkin-ape]

@@Zedoutdoors Absolutely no need to apologise, the timings were out of your control, it's probably more to do with my carving of a fork at SpoonTown upsetting the spoon gods..lol

[@marsoelflaco5722]

Wait a minute...there's a town for spooning!?!💏😉

[@JackKlumpass]

Spoon Loons 😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Zedoutdoors]

Most definitely! ~Peace~

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

Fella at 54:17 was pushing edge first into the strop....seemingly on purpose!! 😳😬 What in the world?

[@Zedoutdoors]

That isn't a strop, it's fine grit paper ~Peace~

[@joeash7781]

What is the name of the large knife used by Jane Mickleborough at 1:41:00? Thank you kindly.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thats called a 'Stock Knife' and is mainly used by clog makers ~Peace~

[@charlesbrousseau3988]

wow indexing that video must have taken sooo much work!!!

[@Zedoutdoors]

It did lol, appreciate you noticing and my motivation for doing it was to make viewing the video a bit easier ~Peace~

[@osvaldoperalta3261]

Hello Zed! Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina. Do you know when the 2024 event will be? I am planning a trip to Europe for next year and I would like to take the opportunity to go to the event if I can coordinate the dates. Thank you very much for your help and the content of your channel is very good!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hello my friend and thank you for your kind words! I believe the next Spoontown will be July 26th/27th/28th 2024 ...the website for next years will go live early next year so all the confirmation of dates, etc will be available then ~Peace~

[@drknstodstny4141]

All this spooning is definitely going to lead to a little forking....

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thats shown in part two.... ~Peace~

[@chrispayne673]

😂😂😂 definitely will lead to some pretty intense forking lol 😆 😂
