Videos just like this one is why I started wood carving in the first place. This mans sharing over 40 years of experience and knowledge with anyone who will care to spend the time to learn from him. Thank you sir.
Just what you showed right there was worth its weight in gold, at least to me it was. I just found your channel a few minutes ago and it has made my day. Thank you and your grandson for going to the trouble of making this video.
That was great for a first tutorial video. It’s so important for the older generations to pass on their skills to the next. If only our ancient ancestors had TH-cam. Well done making this.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can do and can teach, make the most epic and eye opening “TH-cams” on TH-cam. I can’t believe that I’ve watched 1000s of how-to carving videos recently and yours was the only one that really turned on that lightbulb in my mind. I simply can’t thank you enough. Start to finish this video was exactly what I needed. Perfect! 💕
You don't need to "get better at this youtube". You did great just being you and sharing your awesome skill. So much is preserved now with this technology that used to be lost to the ages through the generosity of amazing craftsmen like yourself. May we never see some "polished", TH-cam version of you but rather, you, just as you are. Thanks so much.
I am just starting out wood carving and watching Roger really inspires me to learn the basics really well. He makes it look so easy which is a real tribute to all the years of experience and is down to Earth teaching style. Thanks so much for putting this up.
Nice tutorial Roger! I’m just starting to carve, haven’t actually completed a piece yet but these vids are great for beginners (71 yrs. old) like me. THANKS!!
I am an absolute beginner, tried this as my first carving and wow. Roger really makes it look simple. Truly a master of his craft. Not easy at all. I suppose when you've been carving since 72 it's simple and easy to whip up something that nice looking. Sharp knives + great skill. After trying this myself I have even more respect for his skill.
I’m so glad I lucked into your channel by watching Doug Linker. Being a grandfather myself and with failing health I need a hobby I can sit and enjoy. I have a full machine shop which sits silent most days so the things I’m learning from Doug and you will occupy my mind as I can’t just sit and relax; I am happy doing something. Happily I lucked into your first video and I see you have many more, so a subscribe and a binge watch is in order. Thanks from Australia mate. 👍🇦🇺
* nods, smiles and hits like, favorite and subscribe after finishing the video* Looking forward to seeing more of your videos Sir. Thank you for starting a channel.
@RogerStegallWoodcarvings thanks for the lesson. Of course I have to follow a talented guy who started working the year I was born! Looking forward to learning more from you.
I just finished my best face ever thanks to you. Nothing caved in or broke off. You explained exactly what to do, which tools to use, demonstrated it, and showed closeups. Very easy to follow you and hit pause to do my work. Made it seem very simple. Thanks a million!
Wonderful tuition. You and you're grandson are doing a great job. Thank you to your grandson for persuading you to start.👍 I've only just found your channel and have subscribed. Looking forward to seeing and learning from your grandson and yourself. 🏴😁👍🏴
These video's Are invaluable. Priceless. I can watch you all day, Actually I have , more than once. Thank you for sharing your talent. I've only been carving not quite a year. Thank you for these videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I really appreciate the video. I look forward to watching more videos on caricatures and facial expressions. Thanks again Rodger!
This is great!!! I needed this! Everyone else had gone so fast it wouldn’t register in my brain lol!!! Very good video sir! Keep them coming, very informative!!!
Rodger I just want to say I am blown away to see you here on TH-cam! Thank you so very much for making these videos! I truly love your Cowboys! I have a cowboy that is a rough out carved by Dwayne Gosnell. I absolutely adore it! I hope to carve as well as you do someday!❤👍❤🎅🤶❤
Thank you Roger! I say one of the best videos on doing a face. It was quick to the point. I am still learning and trying to get better after doing carving for 29 years. Thanks again! :)
Thank you I can’t tell how many videos I watched on how to do curve and yours is absolutely wonderful so first one that made sense and that I can actually completed thank you
How amazing to watch you bring that piece of wood to life! Wow! You make it look so easily- thank you for all your details and your teaching style. Thanks for sharing your skill! Can't wait to try it myself!
I like your technique for faces. It’s unique and different from the way I learned and many carvers I’ve seen. I’m going to use some of your tips. Thank you.
Great job! Looking forward to more videos from you! Just got started carving and there aren't many videos that I've come across that are as instructional as yours. Thank you for your content and look forward to learning more from you.
Simply Excellent. Very good presentation. Wonderful of you to take the time to make this video and to share your talent and years of experience. Thank you.
Thanks for the outstanding video. Absolutely love the fact that these techniques are essentially the template for future projects. I am finding that I can start from this base and then build on the character of the carving. As a new carver I have been scouring TH-cam for exactly this type of video. Keep them coming.
I'm 13, and videos like this are awesome for beginners like me to get the education to start ower own legacy in carving
Thanks Chaz lm glad you enjoyed it and keep those chips flying
