[Newtacious]

Song is gary jules- mad world

[larfsen]

@Newtacious Actually the song is by Tears for Fears, and Gary Jules does have a version of it, though this isn't it. To me is sounds like Adam Lambert's (American Idol) version.

[PAFrogBoy]

Don't whittle towards your thumb

Whittle towards your chum

[larfsen]

@ASmooveFan Steve has been doing wood working long enough, I think he understands how whittling works, and that while you want to follow certain safety guidelines, some of them have to be skipped at times. It's kind of insulting to blurt out these silly mantras like this.

[thewooforfun]

Hay there wild man,thank you for all the videos you have let us see , keep up the good work sir

[6LettersOnly]

Is this a remix mad world or original?

[combatcommand]

A fantastic knife for this type of work is the Opinel No. 8, it's a good size and gets incredibly sharp.

Today I made a wooden toy out of an old branch I had seasoned in my Garage; it's essentially a wooden sphere in a 1-piece 4 barred cage. You can tilt the entire thing to make the ball roll around :)

[XdarkwolfxX]

I just got a new pocket knife. Tanto Style. I looked up what to do with pocket knives 'cause I was bored. I saw the word whittling. I Googled it. I YouTubed it. I watched your video. Now I'm whittling.

[olecow3]

Wow. that turned out great. That song totally sucked me in too haha

[lucasnewsome]

Loved it! I'm only young, but I'm artistic. I'm gunna give it a go. You said 'Pine' would work, that's lucky for me because we've just cut down our Christmas tree!

[NYmosVids]

great job, couldnt of done it any better myself

[im415again]

you should build a miniature city of Marin starting with your neighborhood.

[lousnickers]

That was very cool man i was just thinking about doing this yesterday gonna give it a shot . will any kind of work just asking

[stevinmarin]

@lousnickers Well, soft wood would be easiest. Pine. Just have fun and see what appears in the wood.

[ullyis]

@stevinmarin You my friend are the definition of an artist. You made something of out nothing, very impressive, well done. Could you post a link to this song, I've never heard this version of the song.

[mts0628]

Good video. No matter what high tech hobby I get into, I always fall back on a simple pocket knife and a chunk of wood- back to the basics. When I first got interested in whittling, I asked an ol' timer how he did it. He replied, "well if you want to make a horse, look at the wood and then whittle away anything that doesn't look like it would belong on a horse!" That has carried me 20 plus years of whittling! Keep up the great videos!

[andysart1]

loved this very good

[nickmcgowan16]

not all of us have that sanding machine you used so it will be a bit harder to make

[edwinlee95]

[nickmcgowan16]

@edwinlee95 Michael Andrews - Mad World

[magicmasta33]

[Mandalore06]

Your bird on a perch made me smile. Thanks!

[jackdec1]

[TorturedSoul802x]

@jabojaw The song's "Mad World"...I believe this versions by Adam Lambert, but the original is by Gary Jules

[Asgath]

@TorturedSoul802x  Isn't the original by Tears for Fears?

[ndktube]

What Joe said. The video itself is as well done as the bird. Good job Steve.

[alexis221woodworks]

Het steve check out my vid on guitar neck rest. I have been bouncing around the idea of making a guitar stand....been trying do a design thats different but like you suffering with woodworkers block. LOL...would love to see what you come up with.

[dogmandaz]

Somtimes those spare of the moment ideas born out of bordem can really work out well. Nice project.

[xtaco4BR3AKFASTx]

Curious, what's that horse close to your bird. Is that made out of wood?
