Doug, we have watched you step up your game. The great thing is, everyone can step up with you. I can’t wait to have some time here to really carve along with you. Please don’t ever delete your old videos

yea im new to his art but not to whittling..... Wood carver Want to Be?

You are a talented carver, but your true gift is teaching/explaining. The way you break each carving down into simple steps makes it doable and understandable for beginners like me. Thank you.

Doug, you and your little steel magic wand continue to amaze me. With your little almost imperceptible cuts, you transform these little pieces of wood into wonderful creations. Thanks so much for doing these.

Doug, it's always a pleasure to watch you and listen to you while you carve!

Doug: You are masterful in your handling of a knife blade. Where others tend to use small gouges or tiny blades for such small figure details, you masterfully carve the finest detail with your inch and a half or inch and a quarter, or whatever blade length this particular knife is. No detail is too much of a challenge for you. I just love to watch your consumate knife skill as you create such wondefully detailed "tiny figures!" Please keep bringin 'em!!! Well done!

Thanks Doug for all you do to help out other carvers. I've been at this many years now and never a day goes by when I don't learn something new. I love your enthusiasm for our wonderful hobby! 🙂

Thankyou so much Doug. Truly inspirational. Your gift to us mere mortals that are just starting out with a whittling knife. Love the content and it's free!! Thanks for the time you put into these

Yet another fantastic carving, these little guys are so full of character. Thanks for the video Doug.

Fantastic again Doug, my house has been over run by little hillbillies and now I have someone to keep them in check! Loving what you're doing, I was starting to get frustrated, trying to progress to quickly, I'm following along this series, doing multiple carvings of the same thing (I've 30+ hillbillies) I can see my progression, cleaner cuts, speed picking up and just plain having fun with these little guys.

I absolutely love these Doug! I am recovering from carpal tunnel surgery but I can’t wait to get back to carving and doing a bunch of these guys . Hope you and family are well

Amazing transformation from a square 2” block of basswood, love it! I applaud you time and effort for us want to be carvers that are beginners Thank You 🙏 God Bless

Miraculous how much detail you get into such a small piece! And your calm demeanor as you teach is great . I have only ever watched a couple KZread videos from start to finish without hitting the fast forward button! I just watched two of your hr long videos in completion. Great job

I’m really liking these 2” guys! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait until the next one.👍🏻

Awesome Doug ! Watching your video on the 1X1 Gnomes was my first attempt at carving and I made at least a dozen of them. This 1X1 carving of the little man is going to be even more fun and I'm sure I will fill my living room with chips again. Love it! Thanks for sharing your talent and this fun hobby.

Excellent commentary..this is the cut and here's why...that really helps with new carvers! Woodcarving Illustrated many times caters to experienced carvers because they show more progress than what is explained from one photo to the next...

Doug, You are an excellent teacher. I look forward to your next videos every time. Thank you so much for your help in making me a better carver/ whittler.

Thank You Doug. These 1inch carves have been such a God send, as were you. I always look forward to your next Video.

it is really entertaining and educational to see the variety you can bring to a 1x1x2 carving. Thanks for all you do for us carvers.

I love this series. I don't have big hands so these little guys would be a lot easier to carve. Thank you!

Doug I have been watching your videos for the last couple of years and you get better and better I love the one inch series, your a great teacher, and Im hooked on Carving , keep up the good work

Thanks Doug!! Another awesome little carving. You are a true inspiration.

Thanks for taking us along 👍 I’m not a figurine carver but I really enjoy following along with your process and watching what you find in the blocks.

Thank you, these little guys have been so much fun to do. Love your videos.

Just watched this. Well..... that's me busy again. I love these little fellas. Thanks Doug.

I really like this one! Answered a few issues I always had re: hands in pockets, pants overhanging the shoes, and lots of features that make the face more realistic. I’ve always had trouble with these. Thanks a lot!! Just what I was struggling with. Im going to make a bunch of these to practice. Im thrilled with what you have just demonstrated. Your instruction is top notch.

You are the Bob Ross of carving. You make something so complex, so approachable. Thank you.

Doug, this is fantastic work! Just exactly what I want to carve for a long time. Thank you.

Doug I love the character you imbue into these tiny carvings! It has been and continues to be a real pleasure to watch and listen to your videos.❤

Nice work ,boy you can hear how dry that wood is Love this 1x1 carves😅

Truly inspiring Doug, thank you for sharing your skill with us. The way you impart character into these little guys with what seem to be the simplest of cuts and facets shows a great understanding of form and posture. I haven't even started whittling anything myself as yet, but be assured that after listening to your calm and confidence inspiring guidance, I'm going to start! Ok, - I'm off to the Amazon to buy some Limewood blocks and some of those bullet-proof gloves. (I DO nearly faint every time you slice towards your fingers and thumbs, and it must be a testament to dexterity that you still have a full set of digits. Thank you again, - I can't wait to watch more.

Doug, I gave one of my little gnome men to a friend. She took him to the hospital for a hip surgery, and she's had so much fun with him. Talking with Dr.'s and nurses about him. So, thank you Doug for inspiring me and helping bring a smile to someone's day.

2" is all you need. amiright guys?

Doug, this is a great carve, I especially appreciate the ears.

Nice, very nice. Enjoyed, thanks.

I started doing small little guys with my extra scrap wood and it's probably more fun and rewarding than the big ones! Those look great.

Hey Doug that’s so nice and it doesn’t take you long to carve, just incredible work and thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Thanks for another really great carving tutorial / I’m going to start right in on one of these little bald guys - Have a Happy Summer, josh

Excellent video Doug, think it’s my new favourite!

Great video! This guy is easy, but has great detail. This is perfect and so much fun. Thanks Doug!

Thanks Doug. I have learned so much from watching all your videos.I mentioned the code "LINKER" when I called to subscribe to "Woodcarving". The woman I spoke with knew nothing of it. I thought you may like to know.Again, thanks for all and I look forward to your videos always.

bein new to the hobby your channel is a blessing, thanks and youre a great teacher

You make it look so easy. What I find in a block of wood is nothing like yours.

Very good work and great skill in your art, I am going to make some carvings, you will be my teacher and guide in these works, I am grateful for your videos

Doug beautiful job, those guy look awesome, you always have something new carving take care.

Nice one Doug, love these little guys.

I just renewed my subscription for Woodcarving Illustrated magazine! I've ordered some of the books that you recommended. I've so much to do and my plate is full. These are cute little people. I save all your KZread videos and I can't wait to carve any of your projects.

“Maybe the Only one out there… but one of the best. Huh huh.” Great stand up comedy potential there DL! 😂 I can see you getting on SNL very soon. Huh huh!!

Another great one, I’m loving this series 👍

Real nice! This has to be my next project. Your videos are both entertaining and informative. Thank you!!

Thank you Doug, can't wait to try this one.

Thanks Doug, love your video. I think 2 inch men are my favorite . Quick and done in a short amount of time. Please don’t forget to do a 2 inch snowman.

By the way i took out a subscription to woodcarvers magazine. It truly is an awesome magazine.

Thanks for this great new video. I just started carving over the winter and love carving the 2” little guys. I am excited to try this one out. Lots of great tips. 👍

I am so excited to make those!! You’re the man Doug.

I really like this! the detail on the eyes and ears is awesome! I have been slowely improving my eye carving, mostly because every time you do a tutorial you add another level of refinement to how the eyes are done. I have been able to follow this and incorporate it into my other carvings. Thank you!

Brilliant as always Doug, thank you.

Your awesome Doug! I tried a little man step by step, not as good as yours, hope you dont get tired of teaching!

Just love it, especially when it comes alive

Great video, Doug! I am going to carve several of these little guys and compare the first to the last! Thanks for everything you do to keep folks interested in this wonderful art form!

So cute! 😊

I’m late to watch but enjoying this so much- the fellers are real cute and distinctive- thanks Doug🥰

I amazed at how easy you make these look. Thank you for another great video!

Man as a newbie I am looking forward to the day I get my blade sharp enough to sound like the cuts you are making! Good stuff here.

Thank you Doug! I love them 😊

Thank you for sharing, Doug! Learning so much from you. Wish you all the best from Hungary!

Thanks Doug! 😁👍

Great little carving.

Fun fun carve. And I’m home today 😂. Win win. Thank you. I will carve several

Can't wait to watch this. Can't at the moment I'm at work🤕🤕🤕🤕

Just found this channel, and it’s been so helpful. I couldn’t wrap my head around scale and where to put in the detail. The bigger the wood the more detail you need to add, which is well beyond my skill set. These small characters are perfect for me and a lot more enjoyable.

Another great tutorial Doug.

Awesome…liking your basement setup, has a nice rustic look. My summer project is converting a corner of my garage into a cool carving space.

Another excellent video - You are a truly amazing carver and teacher, Doug! Love your authentic joy and easy-going humor! Been thinking...when will all these carved males finally meet equally interesting females??! Hard to find people who carve women.

Thanks for sharing!! Great video!!

Very clever. Love watching.

Just whittled me up one..they are cute..i gave a lil man i carved to a girl at work..bad mistake now they all want one...lol...thank you....i really like the face.s on yr.s...ill use yr design on the face.s from now on..

Doug is the "Bob Ross" of carving!

Fantástico Doug, você é um artista nato. Parabéns
