    This is my take on Tom Hindes 5 minute wizard.What i like about this carving is that once you get the gist of the cuts you can apply them in all kinds of ways using different mediums from sticks to pencils and still end up with a very satisfying outcome.I did not know what to name this video so although the title may seem alittle clickbaity I truly believe this is something that anyone can do and get almost immediate results that will only build confidence in all carvers alike -hope you like it and a big thanks for watchin
    -if you are new to woodcarving I have several videos on getting started and tool/wood selection that may help you on your way

      Doug Outside I just tried my first ever carving. Took a pine round maybe 2.5" diameters quartered it and gave it ago. Not as nice as yours but it is at least recognizable.
      When you do a branch do you make an edge to work from or work from round. Us love to give that a go

    Doug your a great carver and it's good to see someone carving Tom's wizards again. Tom was my teacher and mentor in the carving world, we met at a senior activity center where ole boy's would get together to carve and chat over coffee . I would drive an hour from home to Delaware Ohio after a nightshift and carve with these guys, to have such knowledge to pick at was a wonder to have at my disposal as i don't thing there was anyone there under 60 yrs old that hadn't carved their whole life. As a young man this was great fun.
    Keep up the great work Doug and you now have a new subscriber, cause my wife wants me to carve her some of your stuff for her collection.

    This was my first successful carving. It's not perfect but I'm proud of it. Doug did a great job of providing instructions for a beginner. He has a great sense of humor. I look forward to trying some of his other patterns.

    Just did this as my first carve. I love it! It was easy to follow along and it was fluid.

    Hi Doug. I picked up a beginners carving kit last week, ran across this video and I'm hooked! This gave me something basic with step by step instructions, but also a cool figure in the end. While it is very rough, I'm proud of it as my first try. It gave me enough confidence to try a few other videos already, though I've come back to this one several times for practice. Looking forward to exploring your other videos and to a new passion. Thanks for sharing your work and time.

    So happy to have found you Doug - great videos, presentation, your teaching style, you live in the bush like I do, but the absolute best thing that you do is to bring out that old thing that isn't so common COMMON SENSE. Going to watch all your vids. Excellent stuff Doug.
