What a lovely character. I love the 6 inch figures. I'm still always amazed at how fast you rough out a figure. You keep inspiring me with your great imagination and technique.

Hi Kevin, Wonderful carving. I have really appreciated how your last two videos have highlighted professions in Newfoundland that have been such a vital part of our history. The fisherman and the woodsman. There has been many a Newfoundlander spend time in the lumber woods. Very hard work. Through your carvings you bring to light the hard working people they were and are. Thankyou.

Hello Mr. Kevin sir. I have watched many of your videos and I was wondering if you made your own knives and how you made them. I would love to watch a video on that. It looks like a kitchen knife and and up grinding it to your preference of style?

Here, I just received my fillet knife. It has a single bevel, will it be necessary to make it a double bevel? And what size should it be shortened for 2"x2" blocks. thanks for your advices
@KevinCoates98
Жыл бұрын
Mine are a 2.5” and a 3.5”. These are not great to use for detail. They are best for roughing. As for bevel, I take mine from both sides but it probably doesn’t matter

Just curious on where you get your chunks of pine wood ? I have been carving like others basswood. No lumber yards close, only big box stores and best I could do would be 2x2 pine pieces but they don't look real carver friendly.
@KevinCoates98
Жыл бұрын
I get my pine from a Home Hardware store. They don't carry a whole lot of the 2" pine. It's not all good carving wood. I pick through it to find the best of it. It's hard to find a good selection of pine that's good for carving here where I live
