Where may I fan the pattern you used? Thanks for the great video!

I've been on the fence about these knives but your video and calming voice helps with my struggle. Thank you for sharing.

Where do you get the white ceramic burs? I have searched hard and can’t find. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. So inspiring!

I want to ATTEMPT to see if i can tackle clay art. I recently bought a bag myself at hobby lobby too! And your video was so useful, straight to the point with examples in helping me see what to expect 🤗

I have had a set of these for years. I really like them as well but I also have totally destroyed a few of the v tools. I never knew they even made the customized strop. The strop just hones already somewhat sharp tools, at some point they will need to actually be sharpened on a stone and those little tiny V tools are incredibly hard for me to sharpen on a stone properly. Also I've accidentally snapped a few a couple the stems pushing too hard in harder wood once they were duller than they should have been. For the smaller V tools now I just use the Pfeil tools because those can also be gotten in those smaller sizes and they have longer runs of the actual v groove which gives me some leeway if I screw an edge up while sharpening to correct it again. The gouges are much easier to sharpen on a stone than the v tools.

Love the little people

Thank you the lesson Mark .. Dockyard tools are expensive and you got to make them last ..so you got to keep them well sharpened

Had a set for 8 years or so. They’re good tools. They used to come a bit bigger, but they discontinued the 4/5 mm, I believe. Like you said, you must treat them gently as they aren’t made for rough handling. I think that’s why they come with skinny handles now. They’re idea for the work you were doing.

I love the tip bought the reused blue jean sand bag. Thank you ❤

You are an inspiration. Where can I find the white ceramic stones? Thank you.

I really enjoy your channel. Question where do you purchase the ceramic stoning bits from?

Great job, awesome work.Thanks for sharing 👍

Happy little ass-i-dent.😂

It's excellent wood to carve! Order some, very satisfied.

This would make a very unique chess set. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing!

Is ist possible that you share the template used in the video. Would be awesome

Loved seeing all the gnomes and characters! That is an impressive amount of wood creations!

Putin will whoop yo ass for that

Grand job mark stay safe just carve

First time seeing your content, but looks amazing :)

Excellent video. You went from gnomes and spirits which I’m not interested in to your excellent artistic birds with excellent designed stands. Inspiring. Great advice. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful work!

Great video Mark didnt know you can get those rough outs, ill have to look in the UK to see if we have anything like that here.

Would u know a good source where I could buy a piece of tupelo wood , I'm in canada, and it seems it's very hard to get

Nice mark, getting er done😊

Great work Mark and excellent video ..enjoyed watching and seeing your work ..you have been busy ..Thank you for sharing my friend

Just got a set of these expensive but well worth it

Top shelf suggestions 👍🏻

Looks cool the music was annoying so I moved on

Quite useful.

Hi size of the wood bock thank you

If the legs broke on these how would you repair them?, i have Oaxon peacock and one of the legs 3mm broke at the foot.

And here’s a little guy I made ☺️

I’ve never tried making a clay sculpture before carving in wood. You made it so easy to understand how to do it. I appreciate your talent. Thanks for make such a wonderful video!

I love the style of this 🙂. Great music choices, too

I’m trying out this clay rn for a homemade costume mask, and so far what I’ve noticed is that it’s actually a lot like dough! And while it won’t stick to your hands when you take it out of the package, it does definitely stick when you wet it, but it helps smooth it out pretty well! :)

Look forward to your bluejay carving it’s on my list of birds to carve. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Got the set and I really like them. They come ready to work. And as the original knives the blades come sharp. Love the handles and the blades’ metal is really easy to strop and they keep an edge for a Long time. Very happy!

Love this

Great tips. Thanks

I've just gotten into wood carving. These videos are great! Thank you for making them :)

You keep your carving knives in cigar holders….

Hi Mark, I love the fact you share that excellent reference book. It's all about planning and using patterns to guide your work. As I do clay modeling, which is much more flexible, I much admire the challenges you face as a wood sculptor. It was a fun and very nice video to watch!

Yea thats way I do it too. I do leave a little more extra wood and not cut so close to the line to make more rood for knife shaping to the real size of the pattern.

I make my own carving knives. I use old two man crosscut saws to make the blades. Anealing, hardening and tempering can all be done with a blowtorch, because the blades are so small. Shaping and beveling I do with a hacksaw, bench grinder or file, and wet and dry sandpaper on a piece of float glass. Its a skill worth learning, you can make whatever shape blade you can dream up.

Thanks guys

Amazing that you found a much higher quality replacement part that fit perfectly. It just shows what happens when you let another country take over the quality control of your company.

Thanks for this video mark, we don't have a hobby lobby in camada but I'll try and find it
