One Good Thing

[@alisonhewitt1753]

Ah Harry. Always a huge pleasure to hear you and your dulcet tones.

[@transmundanium]

You always look like you're having so much fun n your workshop! Marvelous.

[@carpespasm]

Harry, you're videos have long been a greatly enjoyable thing for me. Calming, well explained, and showing off the various hobbies and passions you have as well as their historic context. I've had many conversations with folks at my local makerspace who've never heard of green woodworking before, and turned them onto the concepts of how bodgers and the like achieved such nice results without power tools and it's always fun to see someone light up when they get it for the first time that you can approach woodworking in a fundamentally different way when you work it green and don't need everything turned into a kiln dried dimensional lumber stock before starting. All the best, it's always a treat when you get another video up.

[@harryrogers]

Thank you very much that's great to hear.

[@phildxyz]

Great to have you back on air Harry!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Phil

[@palmermonsen9098]

Wonderful to hear from you again!

[@Dardrum]

very impressive Harry, thank you

[@1981bobbyg]

What a talented man. I spent hours watching your belt making videos but unfortunately never got round to buying one. Nice to see you back on youtube.

[@andyc972]

Thanks Harry, what a nice reminder of some of your forays into green woodworking, half way through I'm thinking "sounds like you need to write another book Harry, then Bingo you've done it - great idea Harry, I will certainly be checking it out ! Thanks for all the great content too !

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Andy

[@markelder5101]

It’s Great to see you again, hope all is well with you and your family

[@JimiHendrix998]

Good to hear and see you. I started carving dormice for my granddaughter and your words brought back the memory of all the researcn and measuring I did before I even picked up a piece of wood! Lovely, careful work as always. Thank you.

[@harryrogers]

That sounds a good project...quite challenging being small...well done.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

It is admirable that you share your intricately studied skills and crafts with the curious amongst us. Handiwork and detail to a subject endeavor are now nearly lost to our "modern" way of living. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Gérard I really appreciate your comments

[@Arboreal_Fungi]

I've greatly enjoyed your shoe making book. Looking forward to seeing more projects like this one!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks very much

[@katejudson8907]

Wonderfully inspiring as ever. I like the idea of green wood carving in situ, as some landcsape painters do, only with knives instead of easel and paint 😊

[@PaulSmith-rd8yc]

So another book I’ve got to buy, even though I can’t see them. Harry you are one incredible guy. Glad I got to meet you and you definitely encourage people back to Green Woodworking. Keep it up. See you soon 0:40

[@harryrogers]

Haha...yes see you soon Paul, and thanks. It will be good to get some warmer weather.

[@IceManTX69]

Always so interesting. Love your hobbies.

[@base2solutions861]

Good to see you well Harry. Love from Nagaland.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks

[@charlesbrousseau3988]

Just ordered the book! I first encountered those dolls via a documentary about Judith Sotriffer, a toymaker from the alps.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks and yes I enjoyed seeing her work and website.

[@freddiemoretti8456]

Great video! Love your spokeshave bench...

[@beyondslwadams4225]

[@harryrogers]

Thanks I enjoyed that very musical message...I hope you enjoy the making.

[@GwendolineKing]

Just to say since my last comment a day ago ,I did some research and bought a cylindrical die cutting machine,I am at the moment trying to work out how to make the base for it.Thank you very much for your videos they are very enjoyable indeed!

[@harryrogers]

Hello, your machine may be different but I mounted mine on a small workbench and bolted it down, for the cutting base to protect your cutter I used thick leather, and softer kitchen nylon cutting boards....Good luck with yours.

[@johanneswerner1140]

I had just looked at one of your old videos about the pole lathe... 😁

[@mysterycrumble]

excellent! i have a wagtail that comes to the window. i feed him mealworms.

[@kboleather]

Hi Harry! Checking in to see how you're making out.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks...keeping busy

[@GwendolineKing]

Thank you! Excellent video! Would you be kind enough to do a tutorial on how to make a die cutting machine a cylindrical one. Thank you very much indeed.

[@thomashverring9484]

I just knew where this video was heading! Fantastic, Harry! I was going to buy the one about the knitting machine next month, but now it seems like I'm also getting one about Dutch Dolls!

[@hadiakbarkargili637]

Hello Harry, You are living a healthy life definitely, may God bless you and your family always. I watch your videos from Pakistan regularly. I am always waiting for your leather crafting related videos when you will come up with new best innovative leather crafting vlogs with beautiful smart tools. I always miss these innovative tools in Pakistan. if I have to order leather crafting tools from outside the country in Pakistan, it is not possible for me because the expenses in dollars and pounds as for as Pakistani ruppies are very high because of high inflation rate in Pakistan, so I run my work with a local tools and fulfill my hobby.

[@LynxSouth]

I've seen these dolls in American museums, including the Smithsonian. Looking at them there as a girl myself made me understand that even toys are part of History. What a wonderful item to bring back, especially made completely traditionally as you do. As usual, well done, Harry! (I like the birdies, too.)

[@harryrogers]

Thanks very much 😊

[@phyllismulkey3778]

awesome

[@makewhatyoulike119]

Harry Rogers you're awesome😊

[@thomashverring9484]

I've bought your latest two books and have all three. Now I'm just waiting to see what's next! :^)

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Thomas, that's great....yes maybe next winter I will write another!

[@thomashverring9484]

@@harryrogersThat sounds like a great idea, but what about? You have made so many great things! :^)

[@Mephysto65]

Amazing job! Next step pyroraph to highlight feathers before painting, I suppose…

[@harryrogers]

That's a good idea

[@kennymartin379]

I've got an old sewing machine like you got in my grandmother I inherited it from her but I can't get it to sow I wish I could

[@harryrogers]

Do you live near a Repair Cafe?

[@kennymartin379]

None in my area

[@ljd8520]

Harry is the belt shop back in production?

[@harryrogers]

I am sorry I have had to close it.

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

Dutch as a reference to German.......tricky 😊

[@marfoo2775]

Yes!!

[@annamcauley3253]

Harry, your shave horse caught my eye. Did you build that or did you purchase that, if you don't mind me asking?

[@harryrogers]

Hi Anna I made it.

[@beyondslwadams4225]

Hmmm 🤔 now how to make my treadle power a jigsaw..... 🤔

[@RevoSE9]

Harry I bought one of your belts 5 and half years ago and I've worn it every day since. It's still going strong but I'd quite like to buy 1 or 2 more, or perhaps send this one back to you for a refurb (if that's a thing). Do you have any plans to reopen the shop or do the odd order? Thanks, Alex

[@harryrogers]

Hello Alex, that's great to hear, it's worth using some leatger conditioning from time to time, such as Effax leather balsam. I am sorry I am not going to be reopening the shop, sadly I have far less energy now and something has to go, but thanks very much for your message. Best wishes Harry

[@RevoSE9]

@@harryrogers All the best Harry and thank you so much: it's easily the best belt I have owned.

[@AntonellaMNester]

Is it possible to buy one of your dolls?

[@harryrogers]

My book on how to make them is on Amazon, but I am sorry I am not making dolls to sell...thanks though.
