Carving The 5 Minute Wizard Part 1

[mclaurinmanable]

I am looking to start carving wood. I have two questions for you. I want to start with pocket knives so is there a particular one you recomend because there seem to be millions out there. Also is there a basswood substitues i could use that i could possibly find locally at aparticular lowes store perhaps? Thanks for all your videos!

@mclaurinmanable Not trying to be an expert or nuthin but butternut works great if you can find it lol.

[mclaurinmanable]

Are there any videos of you making a wooden chain and if not could you post one?

[MrEmery931]

this is really hard to watch with a video showing cleavage on the related videos screen.

[rexmorgan72]

Is that pine that you are carving?

[whysoserious6969]

You cut through that wood like its freakin cheese.

[gmanactor731]

what kind of knife are you using?

[Codenamebravo]

He's not sitting on an invisible chair. He's sitting in horse stance. He's a kung fu master

[legostarwarsfan2222]

are you by any chance a merrit badge teacher for boy scouts?

[JacobDanielRay]

Do you think you can use the wood carved wizard as a hiking staff topper?

[ianthemaggot]

I want one of those invisible chairs!!!..........can you get them on ebay?

[Bardolph1978]

What type of wood is it?

[bucfan1424]

Yes. I see what we've done.

[cw3849]

why do you call it a 5 min wizard if you say it takes 30 minutes to make?

[ovash1]

I have heard that they use bass wood a lot, but I don't have a woodcraft store in my town so i went down to Lowe's and found almost the same wood he is using. I bought the 3/4 x 3/4, in a three foot length for $2.40. I could not find it in bass wood so I bought the Poplar wood, and it carves the same as basswood. I don't know much about the different kinds of woods but give it a shot. I didn't have any trouble with Poplar. Hope it helps.

"see what we done?" lol

I am leaving this same comment on each part of the 5 minute wizard instructional videos. I enjoyed the videos finding each very instructional. My one suggestion is that you get the camera a lot closer to the work. We don't need to see your feet and legs. Would love to see the close up detail of the carving work

[MrTedhawkinson]

i WAS wondering about those mysterious noises

[jminucelli]

Nice work, very creative.

Congratulations!

[roglet123]

[chipperdoda]

Thanks for this video.....I'm an avid carver. You've helped me develop my skills greatly!!

[joshtits]

what kind of wood are you using? I'm in the process of making a ball in cage and I used basswood seemed to work alright. Also what kind of tools are you using. I got an Xacto kit but I don't feel like its very good because its EXTREMELY hard to carve with it.

Hi Gene,

This is my first time makinga comment on your vids. I cant help but notice the knife your using, Would it be a Ron Wells carving knife? If so I have top have a Ron Wells Knife that was given to me by my very good friend Jan Oegema up here in Canada.  Such a great knife :)

Love your videos talk to you soon

I hope all goes well for you and your community in the aftermath of Ike.
