Doug - I really have learned a lot from watching your videos. I've been carving almost 3 years, and I think that if any of us carve for any length of time we find the need to expand our horizons. Thanks for inspiring me!

Same with me. I started carving few years ago and have learned so much from these videos. I am certainly no expert by any stretch of the imagination but have picked up so much new info watching these vids. Thank you Doug for posting and I hope you don’t stop any time soon. Cheers

This is one of the best channels on KZread, it's got me into trying my hand at carving. Maybe one day I'll be as a fraction as good as you are with it. Thanks for all the info.

I third that emotion. Most informative, entertaining, carving channel in the net. If one cannot like Doug, well then, I bet one cannot ……….. ……….😊

Great video, thanks! For the Veritas carvers vise, theres a doghole-mount available, that would mounting the thing to your workbench even easier (and the Veritas would use less space when stored away)

Nice set up Doug. I'm not a carver but I have been a subcriber to your channel for quite awhile and I like your carving videos, but I am a fly tier and I could easily incorporate some of your ideas and the way you have things set up into my fly tying bench so thankyou for the inspiration.

Doug Thank you so much for doing this video! I was a lil disappointed when the question wasn’t came up on the podcast and you thought it was a bit off the subject of carving so you didn’t go into detail. So generous of you to now go a step further and take us on the tour! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for sharing Doug! Much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing this. Very helpful!

Thanks Doug , you’re my favorite teacher !

Very informative tour, Doug. Appreciate all the helpful tips and tricks for setting up your workstation.

Great idea of putting a shelf in I need to do that

Well, that was most interesting and informative. Great description of your work areas. You always amaze me with your ideas. Thank you. It makes working easier and safer when one has the proper setups. 👍👍👍

Perfect timing Doug, I am reworking my area I create in. I carve a bit due to your influence here, and I also do acrylic painting. Just saw a few things you are doing that will help a ton. Many thanks for all your videos.

Thanks Doug.

Doug, your place is so full of awesome little inventions that make sense to you, I hope I can build up to a work space like yours one day! You've inspired me 😁

You are an inspiration. Thanks for the info.

Ahhh bless you Mr Linker, you really do have to give every detail to answer the very mixed bag of questions you must receive...💚🇬🇧🌱

Very awesome carving set up, loved every minute of it. It amazes me how your talented and crafty. Keep up the great work.

Hey Doug great videos. In a couple of your vids I think I have seen what looks like a mummer on one of your shelves. I live in Newfoundland and mummering as seen a big come back over the past few years, we even have a mummer parade in St. John’s usually just before Christmas. Just wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial on carving a mummer if you haven’t already. I and I’m sure a lot of others would love to see you carve one. Cheers

I have ordered my first carving knife should be with me before December so I can't wait. I can see plenty of fire wood for 12 months. However I will stick at it and 🤞🏻I make something am happy with. Thanks for your information and brilliant vids I have plenty of references to look at.

Doug Linker is my favorite carver to watch

Ive recently added an small articulating vise from harbor freight that’s was $22 and vacuums to any smooth surface excited to give it a whirl

It looks very organized and easy to find tools. Nice.👍

great man beard, love your carving vids!

Great little tour and explanations! Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. ❤

I always find some ideas watching others in their creative spaces, now I’m off to the store for some big spring clamps.

Helpful. I’m still working on my carving stations. Thank you.

Thanks, Doug

This video/tutorial is a treasure! I just commented on what tools you use on a different video of yours and found this video! ✅👍🏻

Great setup Doug ..a excellent carvers and wood workers setup ..great job

Another great video and great tips…. I watch all your videos and pay attention to what you talk about which is very helpful for me. I did do one thing when I started carving was I made a holder for knives with magnets and found worked for a while then I didn’t like it.

Thanks for the ideas on different ways of mounting wood...

You are a great teacher!

Love it, thanks Doug.

Ty Doug great information 👍👍👍👍🍺😎

great setup Doug and thanks for sharing :)

Thank you Doug for your great videos.I did not know about your podcast. Looking forward to it.

Thanx for sharing!! Very helpful content.

Thank goodness! I was just thinking about asking you about this! Thank you buddy!

I like your shop!

Thanks Doug so much for sharing! 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💯💯💯

Great job, hopefully someday mine will be as organized as yours

Good one, Doug. Thanks.

Nice set up! Really good my friend!

Thank you , Mr Doug .

great video thks for sharing like your carving station & tips

Nice place! I First made, my carving knives, and than I started my new hobby.

Nice shop… so many sharp pointy things… Great work space…

Very interesting and informative, thanks The yeard is looking good!

Really like this video so I can see your set-ups! I am going to use a painter's cloth for some time (or tarp or something)

Very ingenious!

Great stuff

Looking good Doug 👍

Great ideas I like it

Hi Doug. Just wanted to mention that there are also canvas carving aprons available online. One I saw has a large pouch on front to catch wood chips and one side of pouch is Velcro attached for easy disposal. Etsy. Just an FYI. No affiliation.

Great video! I was just thinking about workstations a couple of days ago.....

Another solid video on the "how of carving" beyond just the wood. Great job, Doug!

Love the podcast!

Very cool!

I would love to see a video of the carving from your thumbnail! Maybe I missed one from your feed but I don’t think so. Looks so dark and ominous.

When my inspiration dries up, I just watch a clip or two from the honorable mr. Linker... and voila

Thanks Great video Doug...and great beard!

That looks like the maple hook tree back plate you made a couple years ago...

The yeard is lookin good!

Great video Doug! Where do you get your cottonwood bark from?

Ive been asking them for a while also.... I cant believe the colossal pieces they have. I have tons of it that i collect (i have found some massive trees) but none is comparable to what they have

Danke

Hello Doug,thank you very very much for your teaching videos I'm really enjoy it, I still learning to carving on wood, can you tell me which video is best for me as a beginer, I'm trying but I think I need to work more on the V-cut and to make some shadows, do you have something that can really help me?😊

I have been trying to figure out how to bring the carving inside…thanks

Nice

You re slowly morphing into one of your carvings!

Great video and great beard. When it goes white you can be your own Santa model😁

Doug I've been watching your channel for years and have seen it evolve.... do you have an online shop to sell your carvings? Keep up the great content!

Doug, Tell me about your lighting. My preferance is a single globe over my left shoulder (I am right handed) A flouro strip leaves fuzzy edged shadows, what do you use? .

As always very informative, your chair looks very comfortable, what kind is it, I just bought a new one , the most godawful torture devise ever made

How long before you hit the one year beard? Good video. I like how you offered up different options depending on the size or materials.

Where do you purchase your magnet strips?

👌👍

how do you sharpen all your tools can you show us

All that's fine young whippersnapper but where is the ice coffee holder ?? 🤪

👍😁

We’re do you get your cotton wood bark?

Have you done any chip carving?

Doug can you please do a tutorial on a 10 - 12 inch Santa . Not an old world Santa.

Have you ever made a boat from wood?

Sorry if I missed it or someone else asked already already, how did you attach the large fixed piece of wood that you clamp what you’re going to carve onto on your workbench?

I need so much help and guidance.

After your tour of work stations and equipment inventory; puts my wood carving on the level of a Neanderthal. You need a helper just to keep your tools from rusting. Your ideas are good ones. But, I made a lot of things with a lot less. 😂

Do the magnets hold the tools when you’re using the bark carving station or do they slip off of the magnetic strips?

Yippie. I try all your u-tube sights, just not too successful. I want to be though.

Gosh Doug, that beard is definitely heading towards your waist.. UK.

Thanks Doug.
