WOODCARVING THE LITTLE FUZZYBUGGER,1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 4" BASSWOOD.FOR THOSE WHO LIKE A SLOWER PACE I AM POSTING THIS IN REAL TIME.HOPE YOU LIKE IT,I USUALLY INCREASE BY DOUBLE...
Thank you Dennis your carving video's are great I really like watching you carve those caricatures this has to be one of my favorite because you did it in real time I carved rite along with you and mine came out great I don't expect you to do this all the time but every once in a while is really nice Thanks again Ronnie
Enjoyed video ! Just starting and have joined a local carving group here in Florida. thanks for running video at a normal pace. A lot of my questions have been well explained.
Wonderfully presented, all the cuts and required tools clearly presented. I am about to begin and i know it requires, practice and patience. Thanks again 🙂😁😁
You sir are a master craftsman it is a pleasure watching you work... it would be better if you talked your way through I like your comments as you work... thank you for sharing your time Danial
Dennis I have to say thank you so much for doing this video! I'm glad to see it in real time, however I guess you are a man of very few words, I loved watching it come alive. Absolutely brilliant! I will share you to the world and back!
Great video. I’m 72 and just starting carving where I live in Thailand. I’ve been watching Doug Outside videos(great for learning) Your video looks like it will be a great help. I wish there was baas wood available here but only have extremely hard wood so it’s very slow going. Thanks again.
Thanks Ron,Yes,I like Doug also//I will be posting a video or two a month so stay tuned,and feel free to ask questions and I will try my best to answer..
Great video Mr. Stallings! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you carve a wonderful character from just a small block of basswood! No easy task! Speaking as an amateur woodcarver, you make it look easy and your result delightful! Thanks for all the time and effort you took to share this great video with us! Safe and happy carving to you and yours ALWAYS!!!
Thanks for the great video Dennis! I personally think it is great to have a "real time" version like this at least occasionally because it gives us a chance to better understand why a particular cut was made and follow along with the carving process. If I try to carve along with a 2x replay I spend too much time hitting the pause and play buttons or having to hit rewind because my aged brain failed to store an important step! :) Garrett
Sir, can you do a video on how to carve a ballcap on a figure, i want to attempt to carve military figures in their odu/bdu uniforms and am unsure how to make the ballcaps/flattops, mostly getting the brim right
need to tell people to be very careful pushing a gouge or V tool towards their hand. I know you are very experienced. great video other than that. thanks.
In your earlier video on sharpening Dennis, you were working with a Flex Cut knife. As I've progressed through your videos, I now see you're using an Helvie knife. Can I ask if there is much difference in the two brands? Living in the UK and just starting out, Flex Cut seem to be the only knives we have available to us over here and the shops I've tried in the US do not seem to ship overseas.
Hi Mike,Flexcut knives are good knives, the steel is a little thicker than Helvies on the roughout knife.I have been carving since the year 2000 and have accumulated many tools.I know the owners of Helvie and try to support them and they make different style handles, that is there selling point.Keep them sharp and you will be OK....
Hi. I got Helvies,Drake, Mike Shipley, Allan goodman and Harley Refsal knives by emailing them and ordering sizes and handles with no problems! Give it a go. I live in sheffield England. Flexcut are fine but better if ground down to flat blades. ATB.
So at 37seconds in you show the block marked out against the finished figure. Where you say hat this is the face. Where you say face this is the body . . .
Luis Sotol don luis lo cuchillo se puede encontrar en tienda que se dediquen a vender equipo de arte. O uno puede hacerlos lo importante es que el filo se como el de una navaja de afeitar. El tamaño de la cuchilla es a gusto de uno al igual que el mango.
As Phyllis said, Dennis sadly passed away in April. The gouge is a Dockyards micro gouge and it looks to be either 2mm or 3mm wide (probably 2mm). Hope that helps.
The finished work is amazing, but I wish you wouldn't carve towards yourself. Those knit gloves are not going to protect your hands, as evidenced by all the cuts and tears from your tools already. They do make gloves that are cut and puncture resistant, the ones you have on are not designed for that. I cringe whenever I see the knife or one of your other tools slip off the wood your working on. If anyone else is watching this who has worked with wood, they would agree that this is unsafe.
Actually Jeff those are fish filleting gloves and they provide a great deal of cut resistance. They look the way they do because Dennis carved every day and they were simply wearing out. I've worked with wood for most of my life (I'm nearing 70) and disagree with your pronouncement that they are unsafe. Are there better? Certainly, but many carvers I know use or have used these gloves and consider them safe. Happy carving!

Colin
So glad to hear that Colin,Good luck with your carving~~~

I think it’s amazing to see everyone’s different approach to their carving.
Great Video Dennis. Doing it in "realtime" is nice and the extra time you spent showing the layout is very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Richard,Yes,center lines help you to see were to carve and 1/3 marks too...

You need to move the camera so that we can see more of what you are doing - thanx
TH-cam is was to comfortable with these non skippable double ads.
Sir, can you do a video on how to carve a ballcap on a figure, i want to attempt to carve military figures in their odu/bdu uniforms and am unsure how to make the ballcaps/flattops, mostly getting the brim right
need to tell people to be very careful pushing a gouge or V tool towards their hand. I know you are very experienced. great video other than that. thanks.
Love the video. Wish it had instruments instead of the piano.
Um.... what is a piano? lol. I played at double speed.... it was more upbeat.
In your earlier video on sharpening Dennis, you were working with a Flex Cut knife. As I've progressed through your videos, I now see you're using an Helvie knife. Can I ask if there is much difference in the two brands?

Thanks for the help Dennis, really appreciated.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply Dennis. Really appreciated.

Thanks for the help Pete. Really appreciated.

Hola amigos. Quisiera saber en qué lugar, tienda encuentro esos cuchillos de talla. Cómo los puedo adquirir, alguna marca? Procedencia??
Agradeceré algúna información
Luis Sotol don luis lo cuchillo se puede encontrar en tienda que se dediquen a vender equipo de arte. O uno puede hacerlos lo importante es que el filo se como el de una navaja de afeitar. El tamaño de la cuchilla es a gusto de uno al igual que el mango.
Some kind of narrative would be very helpful
Dennis, puedes darme algúna información. Me interesa adquirirlos
Lo siento, Luis, Dennis murió el pasado abril.
What V tool were you using?
What kind of wood are we using?
Hi John, I am using northern basswood,but you can use white pine or poplar or whatever you have available..
dennis stallings thanks for the reply. Gonna give it a try.
Hello. What kind of gouge is that? Size wise that is. Thanks.
Sadly Dennis passed away in April 2019 while fishing with family and friends. He is greatly missed.
As Phyllis said, Dennis sadly passed away in April. The gouge is a Dockyards micro gouge and it looks to be either 2mm or 3mm wide (probably 2mm). Hope that helps.
I liked your little man but unfortunately you kept going out of view
Would have been a lot better without the irritating music and out of focus picture for parts of the video.
The finished work is amazing, but I wish you wouldn't carve towards yourself. Those knit gloves are not going to protect your hands, as evidenced by all the cuts and tears from your tools already. They do make gloves that are cut and puncture resistant, the ones you have on are not designed for that.

Certainly, but many carvers I know use or have used these gloves and consider them safe. Happy carving!
You lost me went you started carving with a gouge.
That's a V tool, good for separating features and carving hair.Stay tuned for a all knife whittling video coming soon.Thanks for commenting ~~~
Yes I see your point, I’m going to try it.
To many commercials in your videos
