I’ve watched a lot of wood spirit videos over the last couple of days, and this one has many of the same steps as the others ones, but done in a way that is much more straight forward and understandable, thank you! I could see this as being my go to video for making wood spirits in the future,
This shit blows my mind. Everytime I see someone carve a face but especially when they are this well done 👏. Thank you. May God bless you your loved ones and all fortunate enough to see this 🙏❤.
Excellent. I learn something every time I watch your videos. I've done at least a half a dozen of your pieces now and they are easy to follow and complete. Silence is golden! Thank you.
Great carving Kevin. Really enjoy your channel and the tutorials. They really help and inspire a novice like me. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the hard work.
Hi Kevin, Great video the addition of the comments is very helpful. I am enjoying watching your videos they inspire me to keep chipping away. Thanks very much for your time and effort making them.
Awesome video. A friends dad used to carve these and I loved them. Never thought itd be something I could do. Definitely going to give it a try. Thanks!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any help you can give me
Hi Kevin I was just thinking about your channel yesterday, nice to see you back. I envy how you can carve such perfect eyes in all of your pieces. Hoping the weather has been great in that wonderful province of yours. All the best...
Thanks Denis, I haven’t had much time to do videos lately. I’ve been flat out carving trying to fill orders. I had lots of troubles doing eyes first when I started carving. I would take scrap pieces of wood and do eyes over and over. It do get a little easier in time. The weather hasn’t been great. Colder than usual but I’m not complaining.
I like your vids. Doug Linker mentioned your name and here I am . Watched two vids and subbed Right away. Now I'm binging. That's some nasty scar across the back of your left arm. I'm left handed also. Thanks for sharing. Rick.
I found two Chicago Cutlery kitchen knives on Walmart internet. Wood handles. One straight with a shorter blade and one with a finger guard, it was a meat carving knife. I ordered them. Will cut the blades shorter to carve wood with. I think the blades are carbon steel. They look like Kevin's carving knives he made from fishing knives.
Just earned a sub for that knife i made one so close to the same out of an old japanese kitchen knife love it! i angled mine more at the tip so its also my detail knife when i choke up nice fine point. your videos are awesome!
Great video. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s nice to not have the “music “ playing in the background. Please keep up the great work and the great videos.
It’s a fish knife. A fillet knife that’s cut down. Go back through my videos and you will see one I converted for carving. It’s a different knife but similar. Back about 14 videos
This knife is 45-50 years old. It may be a Green River knife. Not sure if it’s this one or one of the others I have. Amazon I think has the Green River boning knife. Maybe $20-$30
Great video superb skills can you tell me a bit about the detail knife and the best way to keep it razor sharp I seem to keep breaking noses and beaks of when I use mine pfiel 14 knife
Thanks. The knife I use for detail is a flexcut roughing knife. Sharpening knives take lots of practice the same as carving does. I’ve been at it for 20 years and I’m still learning carving skills and how to keep my knives sharp. The best advice I can give is just keep at it.
As I go about trying to learn to do this, one thing becomes very apparent. There are folks, like yourself, who are just artistically inclined. Then there are those, such as myself, who seem to do better where a big hammer and chisel is required. 😂 Great video. I shall keep plugging away at it!!👍
Never give up, friend. The more you carve the better your skill becomes, this is true for me at least. I may never have the talent that Kevin does but I truly enjoy carving. The therapeutic benefit far outways any cost associated with the hobby. Keep at it, you will be glad that you did. Keep bandages handy as well, I tell you this from experience.
Idk if you run this channel yourself or if you see the comments at all, but thank you. Without guys like you making videos like this, i would have never known i could do something like this.
@@KevinCoates98 Ah, you altered it. It seems very functional for carving. I have a slightly larger, cleaver-profile pocket knife from Gerber that I carry. I'll hafta see what I can get up to with that on a bit of wood.
I’ve watched a lot of wood spirit videos over the last couple of days, and this one has many of the same steps as the others ones, but done in a way that is much more straight forward and understandable, thank you! I could see this as being my go to video for making wood spirits in the future,

@Jayden Darwin Instablaster =)
Great instructional video, but somehow, 30 minutes for him is 2 days for me!
Thanks. It all depends I guess, on how much experience a person has

Thanks Kevin !!! Doug Linker sent me over.
Your welcome. Doug seems to be a pretty good guy Stan and a decent carver too. I watch his videos

Hopefully they work out for you
Thanks Kevin. I'll let you know if they do.

Welcome back. Missed your posts. Hope all is well.
Thank you. All is good. Just a little too busy for doing videos lately
Does this fella only use the one knife? How refreshing
Tell us more about that knife, looks like a good old carbon steel kitchen knife cut down, maybe a video on how you made it???
It’s a fish knife. A fillet knife that’s cut down. Go back through my videos and you will see one I converted for carving. It’s a different knife but similar. Back about 14 videos
Love the knife, just goes to show you don't need fancy Helvie, Drake, Flexcut knives
This is helpful, thanks. Tell me about the knife you're using, name, where to buy?
This knife is 45-50 years old. It may be a Green River knife. Not sure if it’s this one or one of the others I have. Amazon I think has the Green River boning knife. Maybe $20-$30

It's been awhile since you posted a video. I hope you are well and have a very Merry Christmas.
Jerry, I have been very busy for the past few months with work. I will get back at the videos hopefully after Christmas. Merry Christmas to you too
Muchas gracias por este video !! Me gustaria saber que madera uso !!
Thanks. The wood is eastern white pine
Ciao Kevin..non produci più? Per me sei il migliore e aspetto un tuo prossimo lavoro.🤗
I wish you were my neighbor! I'm struggling but I'm not giving up just yet.
Never give up, friend. The more you carve the better your skill becomes, this is true for me at least. I may never have the talent that Kevin does but I truly enjoy carving. The therapeutic benefit far outways any cost associated with the hobby. Keep at it, you will be glad that you did. Keep bandages handy as well, I tell you this from experience.
Harry is right. It’s all about practice. Carve a little everyday. Or carve a lot. Just keep doing it and you will see improvements
Looking all over for a side view eye
What kind of wood do you use! Because that looks cool
Thanks. Pine
Qual tipo de madeira vc usa ?
Idk if you run this channel yourself or if you see the comments at all, but thank you. Without guys like you making videos like this, i would have never known i could do something like this.
I do but I haven’t had much time to get the comments lately. I’ve been so busy. Glad it helps. Thanks
A little voice over would be nice
I know Mark. Its just I don’t like talking that much
Папа Карло не стареет!!!
strong hands/fingers with those deep cuts--WOW
I'm just learning. I'm so not there.
It will come in time. Thank you
Buenos días me puedes decir usted qué clase de madera usa para hacerlo yo los hago con madera de pino pero es una madera muy dura
It’s eastern white pine. A very soft wood. There are some different pines I’ve carved that has been very hard. Jack pine being one
I like this knife shape. Almost a "cleaver" What type/kind/brand is it?
It was originally a fish fillet knife
Not sure but could be a Green River
@@KevinCoates98 Ah, you altered it. It seems very functional for carving. I have a slightly larger, cleaver-profile pocket knife from Gerber that I carry. I'll hafta see what I can get up to with that on a bit of wood.
