I'm a bed bound disabled 48 yr old woman who found you by accident. Now I'm getting into whittling because of you! I'm just afraid I don't have the strength to actually whittle. I made your Christmas pickle. But I can't seem to get deep cuts. I am getting some flexcut knives for xmas so I hope it helps me. Please keep these videos coming, they are therapy for me. So soothing and your work is amazing. Thanks for the inspiration!! I hope to get even half as good as you!
You go girl! You'll find the whittling and carving to be therapeutic as well. Carving is so satisfying. I wish you all the best!
I'm not as young as I used to be and find that I put my work in vise on my carving bench and use a wood mallet and chisels I can get so much done with less pain, if you had a lap table and a small vise attached it would make it so much easier for the deeper cuts and less fear of hurting yourself when you cannot hold your work tightly in your hand. Keep the faith and keep up with the carving.
I'm a 35 yr old man of average build and I can't do cuts like Doug either. He's a carpenter by trade (I think) and has hand strength that I'll never match hahaha. Also, he uses extremely sharp, thin blades. I just take more shallow cuts and get there eventually :)
@@dougdoty5682 Thanks!! You too!
@@howardmccutcheon8072 That's a really good idea! I never thought of something like that. Thanks for the advice!
I appreciate videos like this that we can always go back and watch.
It's funny, I've learned this many times over the years, but somehow always seem to forget it. Thanks for the reminder on tool numbering.
This is a great video, I always thought buying tools was the hardest part of carving. Crystal clear now. Thanks Doug!
As someone on the verge of beginning to carve, I find your videos to be so informative. This one answered a lot of my questions. I plan to watch every one of your videos and hopefully they'll guide me to success in carving. Thanks!
Thanks for this video Doug … it’s really explained alot to me as I’ve been wondering about all this lately. Very useful 👍
Always love your teaching Doug .. Your the best ..Thank you for doing so much for carvers
When I watch your videos, I feel like a close friend who wanted to learn to carve and you graciously agreed! So calm, knowledgeable and funny, too!
Thanks Doug!! Great informative video as always!!
Thanks Doug. Been carving for two years and never knew that was what the numbers meant.
Doug, a thousand times thanks for this video, it explains a lot.
colour coding them is a really smart tip, makes finding the tools very easy!
This is a great video Doug. I'm sure it'll be referenced by many for a long time, good stuff.
It is never a waste of time to explain the basics or to review them. Thank you for this!
Great videos Doug! Thank you so much. As I am just beginning, I have been harvesting gouges from my local "secret tool store" where the proprietor and I have become friends and I get a decent discount on his supply of vintage tools. I cant wait to stop buying tools, and start buying wood!
Great stuff, love the channel! New to the community and I love it. Carving is an awesome way to get my fix while sitting with the family.
This is very well done, Doug. You gave a thorough but simple explanation of something that confused most of us when we started carving. Your most important quote-- "Every set will include tools you will never use." I always encourage people to buy individual tooles as they need them for their projects. Grow your tools as you grow your skills and experience. Thanks!
This is massively helpful. Thanks Doug!
Very useful video Doug. I never did know what the numbers meant. Now youve explained it, its so easy. Every days a school day. Thanks buddy.
Great video! #12 is a 60 degree v-tool. The v-tools by pfeil are numbered higher than 11
Great job as usual. Love your videos.
Great explanation and video! Thank you! ❤ 😃
Thank you Doug .I have carving been for years and enjoyed it a lot.What you did with this video is so helpful. Julien
Always wondered what your colour scheme represented. I also use colours because I don't have room in my tiny workshop to spread them out. I have a knife block style rack for my 90+ chisels and, I as I'm into electronics, my scheme is the same as resistor colour codes so I don't have to think what colour is what as it's already in my head! (ha ha). All the best with your carving adventure Mr D. and hello from a wet and windy UK.
Good video, lots of info! Thanks for the refresher! Slowly building my collection, the hardest part... finding tools locally. Web is great, but not every tool feels good in your hand. If it doesn't fit, you won't carve. Time for coffee...
Well done. Doug. Thank you.
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon! Enjoy your wood carving videos!
Excellent video. Learned a lot in the last 14:09 minutes. Thanks
That really help me understand gouge’s better. Thanks Doug!
Outstandingly informative, thanks!
Doug, I love the way you have your room organized! I would love a video on tips and tricks regarding tool organization.
Excellent thanks Doug.
Thanks Doug!
Thank you. This is very helpful.
Great explanatory video Doug. Your videos are always very informative, interesting and fun to watch. My favorite carving videos, bar none.

Great video, I never knew how the numbers on the tool worked. I learned something today! Thanks.
A great simple explanation & needed for myself as well as a whole realm of folks I suspect! Thanks for sharing this Doug
Nicely explained and very well done thanks.
Thanks Doug. I have learned so much from your videos. I bought some bark to try, but I am so scared I am going to flub it up!!! I know, I know, if I dont try I am not learning. Thanks again. You are a great teacher!!
Thanks Doug, I never really understood this. Now I do. Thanks

I would like to see big wooden carving . Something 10 inches by 5 inches. Animals or bird ? Greetinds from Poland. Michael
Good video
Thanks 💰💰💰💰👍🏻
Love to see your thoughts on shop set up -
Coloring your tools, I use to do shotgun sports and I bought color coded chokes for easy pickings for different competitions, skeet, trap and sporting clays. Easy Peazzy, lol.
Thanks!
Thank-you!!
Thanks
Dammn Doug almost 300k subscribers this is incredible be happy and healthy! Are you a full timer now?
so its all about size. where have i heard that before?
nice video.
i have a #12 (6mm). it appears to be a v-tool, but maybe just shy of a v---- i've never used this one yet.
the #12 atleast for pfeil is a 60 degree v tool
Thanks Doug. What knife holding system are you using on the walls? Hope you are getting some personal time to just enjoy your carvings. You give so much to us.
Looks like magnetic strips. You can get them at harbor freight
@ericwasson4255 thank you
i had to go look to see if i could find the ones you didnt have i did find #4 and #6 but not #10 and#12 at Wood craft i also saw a #25 very interesting
Great thinking about having a color code system,
To bad the tool people didn't do it permanently on their brand, and it would be better if all companies could copy the same color and make a standard code. Life can be easily done.
Some might inlay a piece of color plastic for permanent marker
Thanks
Great video - now I know. All the carving I did I made my own tools out of old saw blades. This kind of limited my ability sort of.
To sharpen them I used emery cloth etc. What is your method for keeping them razor sharp ?
I use the power strop kit comes with two wheels for a drill mount. Cheapest way to go if u want fast results
Good afternoon Doug, I’m in the uk, which gouges would you recommend, I’m only doing small things but only have basic beginners tools. Thank you
Hey Doug, I've been carving characters for a few years and I'm doing it more now than ever. My entire arsenal consists of a Mora 120, a Flexcut KN13 and two spoon-carving knives I've never used. What tool do you think I should get next, if anything?
#12 for pfeil is a 60 degree v tool.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Buongiorno
La seguo da 2 anni a questa parte e le sue opere sono delle piccole magie...
Quando avrà tempo farebbe delle piccole renne un po' buffe?
Grazie per la sua magia che ci dona
When sharpening your V tool, do you keep the endflat, or bring them back a bit at the bottom? I have seen both
that's different from the Sheffield list numbering system (uk) then as a number two is a skew chisel and the first curved is a number 3
🎉👍
