My husband found your channel a couple weeks ago. We love watching your videos and have learned so much about woodworking, tools, etc. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Going through some of my fave vid's of yours. I always come away with a sense of peace. Also learn something one way or another. Your tool sharpening video is priceless. It is THE vid' that taught me how to truly sharpen my knives and gouges. Forever grateful to you. Keep on truckin'!
My dad when he was alive he loved carving, and making tiny tools. He made a claw hammer a ball peen hammer and a mini vice all out of brass and even a 3" pipe wrench He did carve a very odd looking spoon out cedar I don't know what happened to it. he even hand carved a gun stock for his winchester 22 Rifle. I think I need to pick up what you and he did. Blacksmithing too I absolutely love your channel.
I came in to eat lunch watched your video a great motivator to go back out on the farm. It nice to see people who want to create and not destroy. Thanks again
Still catching up on your videos...looks like it's a family affair! Always helps to have extra hands for the tedious final finishing. Bang out a blank in 20 minutes and spend 2 hours finishing it off LOL. Your spoon prices are excellent, such a fine balance between cheap enough that people will buy them vs gotta make enough $$ to eat. My wife would NEVER live such a life, glad you can make it work. Thanks so much for sharing the skills.
Absolutely my new favorite channel! I have watched almost all of your videos in just a couple days. One thing that gets me a lot is how hardships created a life for y’all that I literally dream about! I’m sure it pretty hard at times, but as the saying goes, “what doesn’t kill us.” Right?! I also make things, cutting boards, hand carved baseball bats, furniture, things like that. I quit tattooing after 17 years to teach myself blacksmithing a few years back as well. And you are absolutely right, community is so essential in life, especially as craftsmen. It is so easy to go to big box stores and buy garbage that will be insignificant in life, but to buy something that someone put their heart into is something different. Great job and please keep it up!
Thank you for such a well written comment. We really enjoy reading them. But we really like that everyone else can read also and share experience. Thanks for your interaction
So glad to have come across ya'll's videos, love every bit of what you share and are doing. All about homesteading, hand works to keep alive for my young ones, self reliance, self realization and everything in between. Your music, Your lady that is such an integral part of it all. Love you guys and looking to get out on some land and do the same for my family and children....Sending you good vibes and living. Thank you for sharing...
We love our spoons, bowl, and forged hangers. Would love to get one of those you made but not on Etsy yet. I’ll keep checking. Beautiful work!! Love the videos. Ron and Sandy
Thank you for the gorgeous spoon. Thank you for putting the pair of lefty Walnut Spatulas together as a set as well. I guess a bowl will have to wait till next month. Latest spoon use was in a pot of beef bolognese. Almost 3 pounds of chuck well marbled with fat. Browned in 2 batches in a 14 inch skillet. Tossed it in a pot, and browned fine diced root vegetables in the rendered beef fat in the skillet. tossed in garlic and thyme, big can or tomatoes, nutmeg, cloves, splash of red wine vinegar. Poured a cup of red wine and shot of cognac in the skillet to pull the fond up, added all that to the pot. Added 3 cups of brown stock, enough to not quite cover the meat, which is made by boiling roasted turkey, pork and beef bones with more root veggies whole, but the solids get strained out. Just gel is left. Anyway, that pot goes into a low oven for 4-5 hours, no lid, beef, sautéd veg and brown stock. Skim fat off the top and save for biscuits. Fast boil stovetop with a lot of gently stirring. Don't want to turn the meat to paste, don't want it to stick and burn the bottom. Out of that pot, with your spoon, comes this meaty amazing sauce, over noodles. My guest ate 2 bowls. My son as well. Me too. They both loved your spoon. Yeah, I'll do my best to describe what I do with the spatulas. Most likely just lots of eggs and pancakes. Thank You.
Jason Pippin Man that sound so good! We are coming to your house for dinner! We’ve re-read that so many time to make sure we are getting the steps down because we have got to try that. Our mouths are watering! If you did that good with the spoon, we can’t wait for you to get the spatulas because we will probably be there for breakfast too! Thanks for sharing!
Waiting for the new video, but wanted to let you guys know the left handed spatulas you made fo me arrived. I made fettuccine alfredo. It gave me a really good feel for the more spatulate shaped one in my pan. Its a marvelous tool, unexpectedly good shape for both my hand and my pan. The walnut is lovely, but the sycamore was unexpectedly beautiful. Thank you so much for it.
I owned my own outside blacksmith shop for years. As such a bit of advice. Cover your outside equipment to prevent rust and decay, anchor them down to prevent blowing away. A simple bucket works on some things on others it might take a tarp, get creative. In the long run it will save you money, heartache and frustration. Best of luck. See you in the Ozarks soon.
Love you guys, now. Good that you work hand-to -mouth; MUCH better than having peoplle, come around, looking for money; the debt piling up faster than you can pick it down! Takes your vision off your work, and puts it on the corner of the road,seeing if the man is coming. ughbusyfbusdfbwu to that!! Look to God and your hands for the future; when you get sick, you can take a few days, not worry about the man, but just getting better. When you get done, back on your feet,you can just start in again! Keep your eyes on the vision God gave you, and look to Him for everything! You guys are kind of like Mr. Chickadee, except talking!
Hello again. 3rd video, 3rd comment! You've been making long spoons. Here's some homework for you! Lots of people know what the Golden Rule is, not so many know about the lesson to be learned in the Allegory of the Long Spoons. Google 'the Allegory of the Long Spoons' If everyone can live by those two ideals then we won't go far wrong! Just subscribed by the way, all the best!
have you ever noticed when flipping a hammer , if you hold it with the head vertical it will flip straight , if you hold it with the head horizontal it will always spin 180 degrees
First, I am so envious of your woodworking, I have to wear a mask when I do my woodworking due to allergies to sawdust. Second, is it Bees wax that you coat your wood spoons and bowls with? Third, Thank you for the videos, love them!
Garden Railroading Join The Fun Allergies are terrible! We use a wood sealer that we make.. it has Bees wax, carnuba wax, organic olive oil and lemon essential oil. The olive oil soaks in, the lemon essential oil helps to sanitize and the waxes seal it all in. Thank you for your question all of your positive feedback!
Just recently starting watching your videos and I have subscribed to the channel. I will also check your etsy shop. I am eager to learn better skills for spoon carving as well as keeping my tools efficient and sharp. Hope to see soon a video on proper way to sharp an ax. Which as I saw your other video should be approached in 3 steps, shaping, raise the bur and stropping. 😊 Also interesting is the balm you guys use on wood pieces. Would you share the recipe? Thank you for all the great videos!
Is your music available anywhere? If not,it should be. That song that's playing in the background is amazing!! Music can also be another income for you as well. I know I've been a pro drummer for over 30 years.
@@CarvingAPath Also, I'm a tall old guy and the size of my pulp hook is probably the standard length overall about 10 inches. Perhaps you could make a couple of different sizes... 10" and 16" or so... Not sure what the stores have for sizes but the longer one means not to have to bend as far to sink it into the wood. Awesome channel and you are very knowledgable which comes from learning some patience :).
Howdy. I just discovered your channel and I'm digging it! I have one of those horrible type of adzes you described in the sharpening video. Will you ever sell your hand forged adzes?
Loved the coop design. We are getting ready to build our first one. So glad I saw this design and it makes so much scenes. Thanks I didn’t see the chicken coop door latches on your Etsy shop. Any chance you make and sell those? If so how much and when would it be available?
Thank you! Yeah we can make you one. It would be $50 plus shipping. When you get your chicken coop made, we would need a few measurements. You can reach us by messaging us on Etsy.
thank you for your tine, patience and love. It's an absolute pleasure to watch you both go about your day. You make a difference
Beautiful work, so beautiful.

I like this video. Looking forward to using the adze too :).
That music is not necessary as a retired blacksmith I love to hear the hammering and singing of the anvil.

Have you ever watched Shurap? He's like a blacksmithing wizard, not knocking your skills, you are great 👍
James Couch Yes we have definitely watched Shurap.. very talented!
@@CarvingAPath he has a lot of equipment that gives him a huge advantage. It would take a lot of hammering to do what he does.
I enjoy your videos alot. Was wondering if you could do a small video on more of your back story of how you guys came to this point.
jacob robinson That is a good idea! We will try and work that out! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Please tell me that you raised your anvil up in the new smithy! Leaning over like that is so hard on your back!
I would love to put Kolrosing on one of your spoons. If you would like to do a collaboration. let me know.
Your welcome :) and I bet you could make a pretty nice pulp hook :)
Sheepy Hollow That’s a great idea! We are going to make one of those. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great video. Are those fiberglass handles on your striking hammers? Or painted orange so you don’t lose them? Thanks
