Yours is the best teaching site I have found Doug. Your carvings are detailed but your teaching skills and guidance are second to none. Because of you I have carved a number of characters thank you 😁
I’m really glad to see you’re excited to expand and continue the 1x1 series. Nice size to take with you anywhere, and carve when you can. Thank you, Doug.
You have the perfect attitude for carving these guys. You are a happy go lucky and it shows. I really enjoy watching to create this little guys and gals!
Hey Doug, thanks for the great video. I’m loving the 1x1 series. I’d love to see the farmer you talked about with the overalls, having a bit of trouble with the overalls. Keep em com’in! Thanks again
Thanks Doug. Tried my hand at an old fisherman a year or two ago and never finished it. This again is another great tutorial. You have a knack for making your tutorials interesting and fun to watch. Can't wait to get started on this and the pumpkin.
Doug Linger I have to say thank you for all your videos. I have learned to carve because of your videos. I love watching you carve little characters to larger bark faces. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Ah, I absolutely love these 1 x 1's, and so do my two grandkids. Their bedrooms shelves have them all lined up. I have to do two of each the same for them, so there's no arguments on who gets what 😁 Then my wife will usually want me to do one for her desk in school, as a talking point for the kids. Then of course there's the neighbours kids😂 I find them easier to hold and whittle, plus that size of wood is easier for me to get. My grandkids saw me watching one of your videos and asked if I could do them one. So I thought why not, and that's what got me hooked. I found your videos were put over perfectly for me and I could confidently follow them. I still need to follow a tutorial as I'm not artistic or skillful enough to do it from scratch. If you ever need to carve a 1 x 1 golfer I'd love to do one for my brother (hint, hint 😉😁) or if anyone knows where I can find one, any size. So thanks from us all for taking the time and sharing the nuggets 👍
Hi Doug I am really enjoying your 1” x 1” carving series! I just completed the Pumpkin Head Man and am half way through the Salty Fisherman. These carvings are accessible to anyone wanting to try their hand at carving and fun for someone with more experience! The ability throw a 1” x 1” hunk of wood and a carving knife into a pocket, makes it the perfect project to take on a walk and work on in quiet moments. Have you ever thought of carving a Viking in the 1” x 1” or 1 ½” x 1 ½” format? I would love to see your take on a Viking or a Viking with an axe and or a shield! The simple things in life like a sharp knife, a piece of wood and quiet time to create, feed the soul and a person’s creative juices. Thanks you for sharing your carving journey with us! You have inspired many to discover the simple joy of carving.
Thank you Doug!! I'm so happy you are back continuing the 1x1 series and I can't wait to try the fisherman. Loving the simplistic flat plane approach. You have an awesome carving room set up with and all your carvings look amazing in the background!!
Really enjoying the 1x1 as they are easy to get in the uk. As new to carving I find your approach easy to follow and hope that you carry on enjoying the process and sharing your talent with the rest of us mere mortals. Thanks again
I love your 1 x 1s. So cute and simple. I still get Woodcarving Illustrated magazine and have ordered lots of wood carving and whittling books. I save your TH-cam videos. Now, I just need to get my wood carving tools out and start carving again.
Awesome carving Doug, always enjoyable to watch you carve. You are an inspiration. Hope the family is doing well and you are getting to spend time with the grandkids. As always, thanks for sharing your talent with others. 👍🏼
You inspired me so much I can't get away from carving thanks so much for your videos I struggle with my metal heath and it helps me I'm from Watertown ny
Great video , I truly love your 1X1 series. Thank you for spreading joy in this crazy world . Love your back drop of all your carvings. Looks like a happy place.
Great Tutorial Video Doug, I'm really love it and very impresive how fast you make the draw and the cuts of the gnomes, I'm still on the learning process with your tutorials videos so I'm getting close steps by steps,thank you for your time to teach...Blessing!!🎉🎉😊
Outstanding Doug, gotta get back to trying this myself. Too many big woodworking projects this summer. But as you said, keep a block in the pocket for a spare moment here and there.
Great video. I went to make a sea captain/fisherman and ended up with a policeman. He told he was really a cop, so I said that was good enough for me. I dig the beard man. This week I made a s’more for the fall. He turned out pretty good
Is that a GLOVE I see ya wearin'? Yup Kevin Coats is definitely got the East Coast lifestyle down, but your Salty guy is pretty damn cutes also. Thx for taking the time to do this
Fun carving! I'm also hooked on 1x1 carvings, they're really practical. I've been exploring the idea of adding movement to them, so I'm happy to hear you're planning to create some content about that.
Love the 1 x 1 carvings, my favorite. I bought a huge piece of basswood from my local hardwood guy to cut up on the bandsaw to smaller chunks Wow is that stuff tough to carve. Very hard and dense. Gonna put it aside for something else and find some better basswood...😊. My poor 70 year old hands cant stand the abuse anymore.
Man, doing the face last is nerve-wracking, let alone doing the eyes last! That's always the easiest part for me to screw up. Can't wait to give this one a try

I'm working on three of these, with small changes to, as you say, "make them my own." Fun project. Thanks Doug!
