It's Been Over A Year, And A Big Project!

[@Antti_Nannimus]

It's SO good to see you back again in our favorite Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. You have been sorely missed! Your incredible versatile maker's skills, and your willingness to share them, are greatly appreciated, and your good humor and courage in the face of adversity are inspiring. I read several decades ago by now that the first person in the world to live to be 200 years old has already been born. I sincerely hope you will be among the first of those, and we all wish you the very best possible continuing good health!

[@harryrogers]

Thank you Antti, I am very grateful for all this support.

[@stephenbkirby]

These things of health get in the way. But Harry you have given a lot of guidance. Interesting youtubes so I hope you look on things you have shared. (If you start at first clip until last year.) Enjoy. The project of shoe is great to see. Sarah gaining degree is great. Congratulations to both on achievements. Do share at times. And thanks for today's clip. ☺️

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Terence, and I will pass on to Sarah...thank you.

[@ga5743]

[@sarahmichaelrobertsberesfo7869]

Brilliant to see you again Harry, been thinking of you and worried about you, and missing your videos. Your videos, and you, have always been inspiring to me!! Continued thoughts for all you’re living, and thanks for sharing your experience, Michael

[@harryrogers]

Thanks very much Michael, I am grateful for that, thanks.

[@RochelleASalas]

Welcome home…❤️❤️ My prayers and thoughts are with you and you’re family…. Time and space is something we all need. It’s terrible when your mind says”You can do this..” and your body says”No not going to do this today..”Looking forward to your book. Lean on God and he will lead you….🥰

[@harryrogers]

Thank you very much...that is good advice.

[@mikeb2777]

So glad to have you back!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Mike

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

It's funny that we maybe forget that folks on here, providing free content, have lives far beyond this. I find I often come here just to escape the challenges that I face, but I am grateful to folks like you, who share your expertise and time with me. God bless you on this journey and congrats on the book, that's a major accomplishment!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Rob, I enjoy KZbin for a bit of escapeism fun...that is watching other people's content!

[@ordnaelshideout]

Whoa, it's so good to see you back! I had been wondering where you had been and what you could've possibly been going through. I'm sad of hearing you've been struggling with anemia and thrombocytosis (and even sepsis, that was quite a big risk!) throughout the past years, especially with the pandemic that's been going on. Me being a medical doctor with a passion for leatherworking (and a somewhat troubled health), I'm sure you'll keep those beasties (that's my way of calling all sorts of illnesses) in check! You look as energetic as ever, keep strong! You'll see that tiredness fade away, slowly but surely. Take your time with making new KZbin videos: the algorithm won't reward you that much, but we long-time followers are going to appreciate every tiny droplet of sweat you put into them and share in the passion you put into what you do! Writing a book was such a great idea! I've been following you throughout your shoemaking journey, yet I was still hesitating on embarking on one myself. A step-by-step, heavily illustrated guide is definitely what I needed! Everybody can see you really put an awful lot of effort into publishing a quality book. I'll definitely grab my copy! They're going to be 280 pages of pure leisure. Cheers from Italy! All the best, Leandro from KoriumLab

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Leandro, it was great to read your message...thanks.

[@ordnaelshideout]

@@harryrogers a huge thanks to you for "sticking with us", your viewers, haha!

Thanks very much Paul, hopefully see you at bodging at some point.

[@harryrogers]

Thank you very much John, I really appreciate your support.

[@BrassLock]

Great to see your smiling face again Harry!

[@lizziel4876]

I originally started watching you because I was interested in what you had to say about your sewing machines, but I have watched several of your other videos and really enjoyed them. I had noticed you hadn't posted any new videos and had wondered why, and was missing them. You seem a genuinely humble man, one who is keen to share his expertise, and I am very glad that you are back. I hope your health continues to improve.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks very much Lizzie

[@DASBookbinding]

Great to see you back and to hear you are well. Your channel and one other are what inspired me to start my own KZbin channel. Looking forward to reading your book.

Dear Harry, I am so glad to see you back. I was worried something was amiss. I wish you well and a rapid return to vigor and better health. You have been greatly missed. I will buy a copy of your book. Kudos Best regards Frank

[@harryrogers]

Hello Frank, thanks, and just to say Sarah has continued with her nursing history research, and has just got her PhD.🙂

[@solrogersmullins5973]

Hi Harry, another Rogers' here! I'm sure I don't represent much of your audience as a 20yr old New Zealander but I have found a lot of comfort in your videos over the years. Sitting down in an evening and finding out what the Kent bodgers are up to has always been a happy time and a well needed distraction from the stress of my studies throughout high school and university. Thank you so much for what you have created and I hope it will continue long into the future! Kia kaha, Sol

[@harryrogers]

Thanks very much Sol....Rogers 😀

[@bodgerdavesumner]

Every demo you have ever done, has been a pleasure & an education. In North America we have Roy Underhill. The British world & Canada has Harry Rogers.

[@harryrogers]

Haha thanks Dave, Roy is superb, but I would be flattered to even be in his shadow. Thank you.

[@robhepple9206]

Hi Harry, as many have said it's great to see you back, I think you had us all worried. Stay healthy and take care !!

[@kcstott]

My heart goes out to you Harry, I've had family with similar experiences. I nearly lost my brother to a blood infection. Lost my father to cancer 15 years ago. Take your time, take it easy, and thank you for letting us into your life.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Kerry, I am sorry you have had some tough times.

[@WebBelief]

Great to see you back Harry. Book ordered (obviously!). Glad you are well and taking it a bit easier. 👍

[@duncanjmurray]

Sorry to hear about your illness, Harry, but you sound positive about things and are getting used to the new life balance. The fact that you have managed to write a book on top of all that you have been through is nothing short of incredible. Bravo!

[@harryrogers]

That's very good of you Duncan, thank you.🙂

[@deltajohnny]

👏👏👏👏 It's great that you are feeling better, and I'm very happy that KZbin showed me the video! 😁😁 I began watching you lots of years ago, and you are one of the reasons that I purchased an industrial sewing machine. I'm not using it lately as I have lots of other things going on, and I didn't watch a video from you in a very long time... Again, I'm very happy that your health is improving! I'm from Spain, and we also are very lucky to have a good social security system 👍👍👍 Thank you very much for your positive energy! 😁😁

I am sorry to hear that Dermot, but it sounds like you are making the best of a difficult time. One good thing is that I try to be determined to make each day a good one, and enjoy the little things more. I got a mobility scooter as I still want to get into nice countryside and have a walk. My wife has been very good at making me make little adjustments. Wishing you all the very best Harry
