Welcome to the coffee and carving show hosted by Alec LaCasse. Alec is joined by avid woodcarvers and friends to talk about whatever floats their boat that week and sometimes a little carving.
Why is this popping up on my feed now? lol what a gip

I've noticed a pattern in carvers getting burned out and needing to focus on other things, when they carve a lot of the same things. Doug practices a lot of his carvings before making a tutorial and carves quite a few little 1 inch guys in preparation for that. He's about the 4th or 5th carver I've seen in the last couple of years that's almost given up, and in each case they're carvers who make multiple carvings of similar things. I think variation (and taking breaks) is important to carving.

Naw, he obviously loves carving. I would guess it’s more to do with content creation. It’s very high effort and sacrifice with very little reward. People are entitled and unappreciative as you’ll see in other comments. Creating content sucks the fun out of the actual work/hobby.

What happened to Doug? I look up for your videos individualy, and your videos together.. Miss Dougs carvings.. Hope everything is fine😊👍🏽
@DoubleDowner4 ай бұрын
he's taking a long break from youtube, to focus on a few other things... think he's gotten burned out and the channel isn't growing as much considering how much work he puts in. They talked it about it on the previous episode of this show.

Thank you for the answer. I think the same and its sad because he's such a great carver and seems a great person too.

Doug, I watch a Live woodworker who does give a ways of things he makes on the live. His name is Bearded Viking Woodworks. He hasn't had any troubles doing that. Give it a try.

Balance is key. To many folks take something that is fun to do, decide to try and make money at it, it takes over your life, you start to hate it and you get burned out. I see this in woodworking, gardening, and various crafts. So, take a well deserved time out and live your life on your terms. Yes you would be deeply missed if you pull the cord, but we will all be better off for your legacy and teachings….

I really enjoy these chats. side note - unless you get a composite, granite, concrete (similar) countertop it's most likely going to have wood at least in the substrate anyway

OMG, interview me! Please, please, I am a new woodcarver who has done foam carving before, and I’m showing my wood carving on my channel here. I would love to do an interview with you over coffee… Please, please, please!

Probably a bit late now seeing as the show has finished, but as with all hobbies, crafts, arts etc they evolve overtime. So i guess one could say that the type of wood craft that Doug and a lot of us pursue (using mainly knives) is just an evolution of the old time whittling...just a thought...😎

Doug, I began watching you when Joe Robinet was camping in the woods near his moms house; you came up in my queue. Later Scrambled O got the gift of an axe from you. Joe said on his channel that he had met you and was going to do trips with you. I watched them. I watched you and Sophie doing crafts and I watched you all at Shawns when Joe topped a million subs and when you built the native hogan. You were the one that I always told my wife I enjoyed the most of the crew. Carving boosted you to the next level; your true personality came out on C and C. I am bummed that you are ending C and C and are away from YT. Sigh Alec, I was introed to you by Doug who said that he was going to be doing C and C with you 100 videos ago. I admire you because 50 years ago my wife and I talked about buying a seaside cottage in Maine so I could do silver work and she paint. We never did it. I love your carving and I watch you living your life vicariously every week. I will miss you.
@stantilton21915 ай бұрын
Alec, you need to be yourself and not put on a polish for students. Professionals just have a professional mess. A busy work isn't a neat shop. Be real, they will enjoy you more and you'll feel better. My shop is only neat in the moment between projects. I will miss you guys and I'll look forward. Thank you both.

Wish I still lived in Shelby Twp. I love you and Doug and am trying to do one of your projects. I have several wip’s of Doug’s but it was suggested that I work on a larger piece as well. Thank you both for your podcast time and dedication. Perhaps some day I’ll visit Mi fl to see family and contact you. Thanks again to you both for a nice afternoon of coffee and carving.

I have been finishing and checking gunstocks for several years and it led to me beginning to carve. I recently needed a small veiner to use on a stock and ordered it from Ullmanprecisionproducts. The is a 60 degree tool and very handy to get into tight places. If you are interested take a look at them. Thanks for all the videos they have been extremely helpful !

Certainly going to miss the show, but understand you guys have a lot going on. I'm sure everyone would love it if you stopped in once a month/quarter just to share what's new. Funny story about the kitchen sink... when my wife and I bought our first house we gutted the kitchen and were having cabinets made. It was going to be a few weeks, so we cut the old sink, plus about 3" of counter top on each side, and set it up on saw horses until our cabinets were ready. It served the purpose, and that's what matters.

Quite the accomplishment. Been considering doing videos for a decade but never had the motivation to get it going. I now am a dinosaur in the carving community and probably missed the boat. Anyone interested in a follow may boost my direction. I have been a hand carver and knife carver and progressed through rotary and electric tools and now mostly chainsaw carve .
