TRANSCRIPTION
"Hello! Today I'm working on a Rattlesnake staff. This is number 80. It is going to have a little mouse on it.
(1:29)The industrial wheel has two carbide teeth on it. It cuts very fast and makes a 3/8 inch depth cut. I remove the wood with a chisel.
(3:20) The mouse on this project has perplexed me. I want it to be climbing up the side of the stick, just out of the reach of the Rattlesnake.
(3:33) I searched the internet for reference pictures. But I could not find anything that looked exactly like I wanted.
(3:42)I don't know how many times I sketched it again before I actually began to carve.
(3:50)I finally began to remove the wood without any assurance of how the project would turn out.
(4:35)Do you see that bird?
(4:59) You're looking at the wrong bird!
At first I was like, "He needs to be wearing a mask, all that dust he's kicking up." But then I thought, "Nah, his beard probably filters most of that out."
Beautiful.
Georgia, you, are, sooooo hilarious!!! You really ought to be on the stage - Wells Fargo!!
No
When TH-cam finally gets recommendations right
right, was just watching this and thinking why hasnt this been recommended to me yet.
My jaw dropped when i realized you were going to wood burn each and every scale 😍 that’s dedication. you are a true artist.
It's a lot of work for sure! Thank you, Jason!
@@StinnettSticks would it have look different if you started at the tail first then go to the head with the scale?.
For some reason, it actually brought tears to my eyes
edmundo oliver The scales wouldn’t have been accurate to how a real life rattlesnake’s scales are if he did it from tail to head :)
Yes, I was going to same the same thing.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were burning a live animal's eye, that's how realistic your work is
I was searching this comment
When you saw the thumbnail then I will grind it and polish it. The result might br breathtaking !
@@joaquintoco i was expecting this reply
I was showing my husband these videos and went to click on the thumbnail for this video and he went, "What is he doing to that mouse?? ... IS THAT A REAL MOUSE?" The quality is so gooood
I thought the same
When this stick gets petrified, 100 millions years from now, people are going to claim it is a fossil of a real mouse.
Haha! That's hilarious!
Really like how you don't talk "too much" you let your work do all the talking, gives it a more clear message and in turn makes you an humble artist.
Fully agree. Such a relaxing video where the Art and skill does the talking.
🐭 : "...................... ................... .... .............. . . . :)"
You sir are an Artist with a capital "A". Truly gifted.
Sir,
THIS is amazing! Your eye for details, the whole video - the music, the nature, your sweet dog.
I‘m impressed by your artwork and would like to thank you for sharing this with us!
It reminds me to do more in my life!
You live in a right way!
all the best
You're very welcome, and thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that you enjoy my videos!
Man, simple living, doing what you love. This man has got to be at peace. If only we all could find it as he has.
I admire your courage for doing this instead of digital art. After all, your pieces are vulnerable and prone to accidents. At least we have this video as an eternal memory!
One thing I know with absolute certainty. Your sticks will still be around 150 years from now. Everybody who owns one will treat them as the fine piece of art they are, as will their children and grandchildren. Not only are you a master craftsman but a keen and loving observer of nature and it's creatures.
Greetings from Germany
How you received dislikes is lunacy . Pure talent !
Or maybe women who are afraid of 🐭
Or maybe people that didnt read the title an saw an a mouse getting its eyes pokes out
It must be very sad to be the type of person who can't appreciate the talents of others.
The only dislikes are little choldren who know not patience
🐭 : "Help, I was hurt during the making of this."
🐭 : "By evil scientist in a laboratory."
🐭 : "Help me. I just want to be a mouse."
🐭 : "I don't want an ear on my back."
🐭 : "I don't want 2 be genetically engineered."
🐭 : "I don't want to glow in the dark."
🐭 : "I don't want 2 be a mouse cyborg."
🐭 : "I don't want to be remote controlled."
🐭 : "Let me have a family and some cheese."
🐭 : "In advance : thank you for your help."
🐭 : "You kindest man of minkind."
🐭 : "You are the One. I'm counting on you."
🐭 : "You are the MouseGod !!!!!!!."
With love,

This type of artistry and skill is very rare.
This is the seventh stick I've seen you carve and I'm just blown away again. Amazing.
Pearl is such a sweet little dog!
It's an honor to watch you work and do your magic.
The man with skill and patience, unbelievable good work!
real skill would be done by hand with a knife, sans power tools.
yeah. this not easy job
@@stevenwilliams2602 who cares. what he does with what he has is extra ordinary. dude ! huh !
@@stevenwilliams2602 And he could easily have done that as well but then it would take him way way more time to complete it and most likely more then he would like to spent on it. And it is the final masterpiece that is counted for, not how long or short time it took to make it.
@@stevenwilliams2602 really? why dont you make a video of carving something like this with only a knife? seems like its easy enough for you.
The fact that he burns it all in, instead of painting it, is amazing...
Patience level of this man is incredible.
This young man does some great wood art carving. As a carver myself I know first hand the time and patience that it takes to create a one of a kind work of art. Unfortunately its an art that is dying out today people want to do things fast and when it comes to selling your work they don't want to pay you for that time and patience it took to make what ever it is you have made with all your heart and sole. It on trucken friend.
I saw. That mouse get a better grip when you rotated that stick. What a fantastic job.
Hahaha! Thank you Dale!
Beautiful work.
DALE thebelldiver wonderful job.
Btw, his paintings are also stunning. Check out his website.
Laura Magill absolutely; they are fantastic indeed. He is; very very talented and comfortable doing it.
Everyone should push their skills to discover their hidden talents as well; to see how far they can be developed. I believe at least trying out any new skill makes your appreciation for great talent; even greater.
The talent is off the scale to see this in your head and then make it come to life, amazing!
Spectacular ........who are the people giving this a thumbs down?????????....why?
Liberals
the attention to detail is really admirable, left no stone unturned
I stumbled upon this video & I must say I'm blown away by the level of craftsmanship displayed here.
I absolutely love the way your eye smiles when you're looking at your walking stick and your dog
Those are the eyes of true dedication and love. Thank you for popping up on my recommended list :))
To be honest I thought it was real
same...
I know this is an older video and you have said these videos are a family endeavor. Just gotta say thank you. These are always my favorite videos. I love to draw and work with my hands but my talents are in medicine and care for people. When my mind is racing, I always watch these videos of you and Pearl's adventures to calm and bring focus. Thank you for your talents and videos
Thank you, Jimmy! I appreciate your kind words! and I'm glad you enjoy our videos!
I wish I could be as relaxed, laid back and happy as this guy.
Holy crap....what a wonderful life that appears to be.
When you eat some laxatives at least your anal cavity is relaxed. HOLY *CRAP* what a wonderfull idea ! I'm going to do it as quickly as possible !
I wonder if your dog ever tries to eat or gets spooked by one of your creations. They're really lifelike!
God has given you a gift millions of people would love to have and do.
This man should get 1million dollars for every scale on that snake
@MySonNarkoman If i was older than 13 i would
@MySonNarkoman ok
@MySonNarkoman lmao why are you so salty? All he was saying is this man deserves more then he gets. That never implied Owl has money to spare himself.
@MySonNarkoman lmaooo u rly out here questioning a 13 yr old kid
@MySonNarkoman well that's one way to look at it
One of my most favourite staffs you've made. How you pull out the proportions of these animals with what seems like no reference other than what's in your mind stuns me, well done!
Thank you very much!
Now,that is art,just stunning piece of art.
They are real animal.
You are the best!
Best recommendation I’ve ever had. I was at peace watching a true masterclass. Thank you 🙏
The way you worked the grain... amazing.
Man that is out of this world. It was so peaceful and relaxing watching and listening to the music. Thank You so much for sharing!!! And I do love Pearl.
Thank you, Steve!
The amount of detail you put into your work is amazing, You are truly blessed.
What a talented gentleman unbelievable..
So talented... an so relaxing to watch too!
I agree. It is meditative.
The embodiment of patience!
Fantastic master that sees final result on a raw piece of wood.
I've been following your videos for some time now, but this is my favorite I think. You've truly inspired me to attempt my own walking stick, however I'm simply a paramedic, not an artist. Your videos, especially this one with stating what tools you're using will absolutely help me. Thank you!
I'm really glad that I've inspired you to give it a try, Shane! I wish you all the best of luck with it! Thank you for your kind words!
that's the coolest thing I've ever seen on youtube
Wow! That Sir is some beautiful workmanship!
Pretty crazy wen u can take a stick and turn it into something that neat. Serious artistic talent will always amaze me.
Ahhhh, it's pure bliss watching your wonderful video's. The music is so relaxing, seeing the pretty birds and animals visiting your garden, watching you make your very unique style of sticks, catching up with Pearl, it's all worth waiting for. It was great to see you've added some of your tools, techniques and burning bits, very interesting. I think most of us watching these videos of yours feel so privileged, that such a kind and talented man is prepared to share them with us. Huge Thankyou 😊🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💖
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, Jackie! Thank you for your kind words!
What a coincidence, the snake and the mouse have the same size eyes! Beautiful piece!!
This is what the world really needs, true art, not the modernist garbage.
l am in love for your job !! Can't stop watching !!! The Animals looks like they were alive !!!! I became a big fan of you and Pearl !!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words!
I can't decide if I'm more jealous of your artistic skills or your beard.
what a Masterpiece, awesome work very Original.
I know that I've said it dozens of times in the past but watching you work always makes my day Mike! You are a true artist of the Nth Degree. Also, just gotta love that little Pearl.................. :)
Thank you very much, Steve!
Watching your carvings bring me back to when my dad use to do stuff like this.
Beautiful work. Both the stick, and the video.
Wow beautiful, God bless you my friend.
These are the type of videos I love to watch on YT.
Mike there`s no-one who takes as much time and trouble to get the fine details you do, whoever in the world gets that stick is the luckiest person, its magnificent!!! Thank you for explaining what and why you use the instruments of your art to us, it is very helpful to us lesser mortals. This video has rounded off my day perfectly, much appreciated my friend, all the best to you and your lovely family and little Pearl of course she is such a sweetie, regards from John in Berwick.
Thank you very much, John! Sorry for the long delay in answering. I got kind of behind. Haha! I always appreciate your kind comments. Hope you are having a great week, my friend!
Stinnett Sticks That's alright Mike I know you read all your comments and with all you have to do I appreciate the time you take for all of us, have a good week my friend, can't wait for your next endeavour cheers from John😊
Это просто невероятно👏👏👏
Мастера Бог в руки поцеловал.
Спасибо👍👍👍

The most beautiful walking sticks in the world,period.
Looking at the thumbnail I had to double take cuz it looked like you were cauterizing some poor mouse lol
Well my friend you did fantastic work on that one the most amazing stick I have watched you do the detail of the mouse is stunning as is all you're work stay safe my friend and god bless you and your family look forward to the next one thank you Brian ps I see pearl is still on guard duty give her a hug for me 👍👍👍
Thank you very much, Brian! I really appreciate your kind words! Pearl takes her job very seriously, haha! God bless you, brother!
Beautiful workmanship ,and patience . buckets of patience. I watched this again and I still can't believe how OUTSTANDING this man's work is.Ok ,its the third time and it is still unbelievable
You are the best at making wood carving
I appreciate you going into some of the finer details in this one, thanks!! 6000+ scales and incredible patience, not to mention a steady hand. One of these days you'll have to make your own stick, with lots of little Pearls running up/down it :D
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Haha! That would be a funny stick with a bunch of Pearls on it! :D
Amazing artist. Bob Ross of carving. He needs his own tv show. The wood carvers on pbs have nothing on him. How is there anyone who thumbs down this soothing video. They must be the kind of people who kick puppies.
You're probably the only one on the planet who knows how many hairs at the mouse. Amazing work! +
Haha! I have not yet counted all of the hairs on the mouse. Thank you for your comment, Alexander. It is good to hear from you!
I know being a vietnam vet and living i Temple tx that those walking sticks would sell like hot cakes
Wow. The attention to detail and skill is amazing here.
Man carves snake hunting mouse.
Man's dog hunting for mouse.
I see a theme here!
I like the sound the rattle makes at 7:11 , hope you all are doing well!
Isn't that funny? It almost sounds like a rattler, haha! We're all doing great! I hope you guys are doing good too!
I am at a loss for words...your art is fantastic beyond belief !
What a talent. I would like have this as my walking stick when I get older. I am going to need one, if I had this one, my head held high and so much pride it's so beautiful.
Thank you, Mary Anne!
amazing...and the patience you must have but then I think it's as much the process itself that brings you happiness and contentment as it is the end result. When I used to draw I felt this. I got burnt out though doing it every day for 4 years. LOL
Master at his best. good job
Mistrzu to sa dzieła sztuki kto temu zaprzeczy już nigdy nie zobaczy tych wspaniałych rzeczy.
The thumbnail looked so real, I thought you were torturing a mouse.
Здравствуйте !!! Разные мысли приходили при просмотре этого видео,но конечный результат порадовал ! Очень красиво ! Вы Молодец 😎 !!!!!!
What a gift. Thank you.
9:11 wow... I highly respect your work.. it's beautiful and nice too
Such an amazing Channel, masterpiece crafts, a humble man with his loyal dog. Man, I would love to share a beer down in your yard and have a deep talk. Hope you are doing well.
Simply amazing! That snake will be chasing that mouse throughout eternity!
It is a very satisfying video to watch, especially that snake scale burning part! Great work and those are really amaizing stady hands!
I'm impressed again !!!!
639 dislikes just boggles my mind. This mans talent is amazing and I am a very humble carver that prays to some day reach that level of artistry. what is there to dislike? Thank you for sharing your love and skill with us.
These people could not curb their jealousy and pay tribute to genuine talent. You just have to be above it to pay attention to these unworthy ones.
So beautiful and perfect! You are great artist! 😍
Some day I will own one. I love your work.👍🇺🇸
i randomly stumbled upon this video...but it got me stunned....that snake.....the details...big respect...awesome
This is the most wholesome video on youtube lol
I'm from Brazil and TH-cam recommended this video, thanks for sharing this amazing art.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was real until I read the title. Amazing.
You're a wizard !! :) Beautifully, you have golden hands ...
How did I just now find this channel. Only 5 minutes in and I’m subscribed. Outstanding work

Absolute craftsmanship.
Just happened upon your video. My compliments to a artist! And a pleasantly made video as well.
