Gene,My noise is longer! I knew you was carving me but Im a mtn man instead of a hillbilly! LOL Your little hillbilly is so neatly done and you make it look so simple! I so enjoy reading and watching your tutorials. Thanks for sharing yourself and the time you spend to help all of us.

Hi Gene,

Thanks for this tutorial, I've really enjoyed this one - here are a couple I made.

I also had a go at making a wife for the boys, but she might scare them a little until they get used to her!

Thanks for doing this, Gene. I'm giving it a go at the minute. Although the more I work the more it's becoming different from the pattern! So far he looks like he'll be a stouter little lad than yours with a much squatter hat.

Hi Gene,

Watched the Youtube last night. Nice job. The speed with which you make your cuts is great. Got some good ideas and some confidence to try more. I am a teacher too. I wondered how critically you watched your own piece, noticing all the things you wished you had done differently. I am sure you will catch more than I would. No air conditioner the next time though - make it easier to hear you.
Thanks for the story about your wife. Makes your "God Bless" at the end of some of your comments that much more real for me. Look forward to more good stuff and more contact.

Shalom,

John
