From an 80 year old woolspinner to a couple of youngsters!! You are so well matched. Both crafter's. Both interested in craft enough, to use each others achievements to please one another. I was not as lucky. Brilliant job. All you need do now is to find a short plank of wood a Bicycle wheel and you're half way to a spinning wheel.
Wonderful! I am a spinner, so I can appreciate all the work which goes into the tool you created. She is fortunate to be the recipiant of such a beautiful gift!Thank you!
BRAVO! GOOD JOB, MIGHTIE FINE INDEED BUDDY!!! I AM A WOOD worker for nearly 60 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN SOME PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE MAKING A BEAUTIFUL THING AND IN REALITY IT WAS GLUED AND SCREWED CAMPFIRE MAKINGS! ON THE OTHER HAND YOUR INSTRUMENT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT,EASY TO MAKE AND OPERATE! AND IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO MILLIONS THAT STILL DO THINGS BY HAND ! BRAVO!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!
Amazing job. It brings beautiful memories of my mother carding and spinning wool back in the 40's in Greece. My father, being a jack of all trades, built all her equipment. Of course, they were as perfect as yours (tools were primitive) but between all this my mother dressed the whole family. Thanks!!!!....
My dear husband needs to see this video!!! I bought the plans, and the carder pieces, now I can show him how it comes together. This will be my Christmas gift from him. Thank you so much for making this video. Greetings from east coast Canada, 20 miles inland from the ocean.
I'm amazed at how many people (me included) don't really have any idea how common things (shirts, nails, etc) were created 200 years ago. In the modern age we buy stuff that comes out of a box - that's the extent of our knowledge. Thanks for showing us this.
This was super awesome, I really appreciate you taking the time to document, edit, and upload your journey. Your integration of older technology into modern day society.
3 weeks work, well done. Great editing, really builds up the curiosity and it definitely works for your audience, seeing the view figures. Great stuff.
Nice work! My grandpa made a carding machine for my grandma, it looked a lot the same. We granddaughters would help grandma make woolen comforters for everyone in the family who wanted one! Great memories and thankful we were taught the skills. Grandma always had a sharp scissors close by to smartly cut it off the drum, making a neat bat of wool! God bless you all!
I am so very proud to see that you all are still doing this by hand. Today machines do this in huge factories. You do beautiful work. I love seeing her spinning the wool by hand. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us.
I am a yarn spinner, knitter, weaver, and bobbin lace maker and have to say that drum carded is a thing of beauty. They are so expensive to buy, I paid close to $400 US for mine. It’s not very big either. You are absolutely talented and skilled. I stumbled on your channel a week ago and have been going back to the first video forward. I seen the carder and had to watch now! I am a textile and natural fiber addict. 😂 small suggestion, finger pick the wool apart a bit more before feeding the carder with it, and little bits at a time. It will card it a bit smoother. I usually run each batt 2-3 times before spinning. Watching from southern Oregon, USA Thank you for sharing your skills and building journey with us. I appreciate the content.
I have no use for a drum carder but this was so fascinating that I watched to the end. In fact, I didn't know what drum carder was until now. beautiful build. Thank you for sharing.
Sandi Devon Like you, I had never heard of a drum carder before watching this video. Maybe that's why Kris has got 8 million views for it - 99% from people who were wondering 'What the hell is a drum carder?...:
I love it! I loved watching how she spins the wool. It reminded me of my ancestors from Romania; my childhood was fascinating because of the archaic way of life.
What a nice gift! Very special and made with love. A drum carder is a special tool for any spinner to have. It’s a treat. I hope she enjoys it for many many years.
I work in a cotton yarn spinning mill. We have modern cotton cards, each one can produce as much as 300 lbs. of carded cotton in one hour. Excellent job. I imagine the guys in the card room would greatly admire your work.
I'm quite excited to see so many people making videos of the old ways for the trades, as well as all the self taught electrical engineers posting their work. I see a nice cohesion. In our future.
@@Tom-hz9oc I'd like to see more Europeans HAVING kids, but we seem to have as many single men as China does after not having any daughters for 80 years.

I'm pea green with envy! My jaw literally dropped when I saw this! It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! You're so thoughtful, talented, and creative! 😊😊😊😊😊
Could you lovely Dot be any more gorgeous?! You're both so perfect together! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I thought she had a spinning wheel (I saw one last year, for dirt cheap in a second hand shop, but my husband wasn't going for it 😂) but then I was delighted to find she has a small one ❤️ I bought one, and some wool that had been carded, but not spun 😊 Does she do tutorials?
As a dedicated spinner, knitter, crocheter I can definitely say that you have one very special and lucky lady. I would love, love, love to have one of these. Consider making her a spinning wheel ;-) she'll love it!
I'm pea green with envy! My jaw literally dropped when I saw this! It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! You're so thoughtful, talented, and creative!
I would LOVE it if I had my significant other made this for me. Drum carders are expensive, but so much a luxury when it comes to carding wool! 9carding by Gand takes so much more time and elbow grease). I would cherish it all the more if it was designed and made for me. So thoughtful of you! Excellent work!
Very nicely done. It has an old world look and will become even more so as time progresses. It was thoughtful of you to make it and I'm sure your mate is impressed and appreciative.
I need to get this off my chest ... THAT IS REALLY THE MOST CRAFTSMANSHIP, DECORATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. AMAZING. CONGRATULATIONS. 👍👍👍👍👍
WOW, that is truly fantastic! All during the video I had no idea what this was going to be (I'm Dutch and 'drum carder' didn't ring any bells), which made the whole process even more fascinating and mysterious. Brilliant job!
I was happy with making my own peg loom and utilizing my recent gift purchase of 13 fleeces of raw wool (from my husband - I wanted to learn the all the processes of wool/yarn... from start to finish, scouring dying & making fibre art.) At the back of my mind and on a very distant wish list I had made a mental note of getting myself a spinning wheel....one day - They're so expensive and so many made with such cheap materials (plastics) To my surprise...my husband is now in the process of designing me my dream of owning an humongous Indianhead (or Salish/Cowichan) spinning wheel and is also devising an onboard autowinder for its bobbins - I'm an artist he is an engineer - like you and your wife we too are a perfect match in compatibility. Happy Makings to you both
This young man is genius!!! Master builder!!! I enjoyed watching him work to create this gift for his better half 😆😆😆just kidding! Thank you for sharing how this was made!!!! Your fantastic!!!
Innovative! Well crafted! I can see that she really appreciates and that's wonderful because let's pretty much one of the nicest things I've ever seen someone give someone else for a gift. Handmade. Really does come the wool out nicely.
Dot, as you get better you'll find your yarn gets less "slubby", eventually you get to where you're making a nice, consistently sized thread, and you'll discover that people like the slubby stuff because it "looks" handmade, and you will have to work hard to get back to being able to make it that way. ;) I haven't used a drop spindle in a long time but it's a great skill to have. Congrats on the nice drum carder.
So true. Sometimes my handspun is too perfect. Once you learn good technique, it’s so hard to allow those slubs to spin into the yarn. Imperfection actually requires a great amount of restraint!
hey from Denmark. You are very talented. What a beautiful piece of artwork. Loved to see how you used all the tools. Very strong and clever hands. Wauw
Fascinating to watch .. Your craftsmanship is amazing .. I am new to your channel and a new subscriber and I will be binge watching your videos as I know I will find anything you do and all your teachings to be amazing and spectacularly educational ..
A most amazing talent you have! Just beautiful work and function. Enjoy all your videos. Thank you for sharing your projects and this wonderful life you have created with us. Greetings from Southern California, USA.
Dear Kris Harbour. 👍👌👏 Extremely well done, Sir! Lost your channel a long time ago and I'm delighted to have it back now. I subscribed instantly again and can hardly wait to watch all the videos you made till the roundhouse was finished. Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom.
Wow you are amazing! I watched spellbound. The planning and imagination alone to make that. You are very skilled and what a useful wonderful gift perhaps youll get a handknitted real wool sweater ❤️📦
I was transfixed with the first part of the video. No music or voice over was so different and I was just so focused on watching it all come together. I am very impressed.
You sir are totally awesome. 👏 If I was her I would've been praising you to the very skies, mate. 🌈 And now you can easily make yarn from pet hair too. Good on you both for keeping homesteading skills, old ways & arts, & analog wisdom alive 💕 (Who are the ones who thumbed down on this, and why, I wonder 🤔😕)
I think this is a great thing to do for your GF, I'm not that good with my hands but I had access to tools so I made a cantilever sewing box for mine a few years ago, and it got me into using tools, I've not had a chance for a couple of years but hopingly I may be able to get going again very soon.
So much better then hand carders! Takes me forever to make enough rolags to spin on my wheel. The whole process from raising sheep to shearing to washing the wool and getting all the VM out. Then carding and spinning.. takes forever. Then figuring out what you want to make with your yarn. It's fun but time consuming. A drum carder will cut a lot of time out. I need one! Lol
Another awesome, inspiring video Kris. Nice work on the carder. If Dot gets an old metal piping tip (like an icing piping tip) and splits the batt into strips and passes it through the tip it'll make continuous roving which is easier to load onto the drop spindle. Splitting the batt directly onto the spindle, like Dot was doing, requires an incredible amount of co-ordination (and a heck of a lot more thumbs and fingers) more than I can manage!
You have the best girlfriend, adorable and skilled and not afraid of hard work!! sheering sheep aint easy. (another video) Keep making videos. they are very enjoyable and inspiring.
That was AWSOME!! Beautiful work. I being a DIY'er, and really appreciated all the little touches and hard work you put into this project. Next revision, water powered?
In my 73 years, I had never even heard of a _Drum Carder._ Sadly, tomorrow I will awaken having forgotten that I watched this video and have no recollection of... _???_ ...what was I talking about?
Wow! This my first time watching this video! You are excellent boyfriends with a caring heart for your future wife, that is awesome! I will be looking forward to some more of your handy man wood work! That so nice! And I can see she really like it too! Awwww 🥰 that’s a gift is made from your hands and heart! ❤️ Awesome!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Last time you made something this lovely was the harp for Dot, it took me a little while until I figured out who this was for, top job dude and if this is where the channel goes when all the construction is finished then I am all for it. Next up "Spinning Jenny".
Fiber artist here. This is very sweet gesture and a great looking carder. Carding wool is insanely time consuming, and you have to wash and pick the wool first! If you are processing a large amount of wool (more than one or two animals, goats sheep whatever) you might try making a larger version of this in an electric version. The issue with a hand crank carder like this is, you have to stop to lay the wool out and then crank. If it is automated, you can just focus on putting the fibers down. Sorry to give you more work to do but, this would really help your GF out! You could easily sell your carder for 300-500 dollars. A larger version of this, electric of this quality and the sky is the limit. $2500 to 10k easy money. Then your GF could send the wool to a fiber mill to have it cleaned and carded, so she can focus on the art part! Also, carding and cleaning wool is hard on the lungs, you should always wear a mask but, nobody does. Le sigh.
You're gonna have to make Dot a workshop soon, if this continues... shes gonna need a place for all the awesome stuff you make her. And she will give you many good things in return.
he'll be building another for himself more like , my wife took over my workshop now ive got one area in there just for me as soon as i move her belongs out of it hahahaha
Ciao Kris, Mi sono "veramente" goduto i 21 minuti del tuo video!!! Donare questo tuo lavoro alla tua compagna, é davvero una dimostrazione di AMORE, sapendo quanto tempo hai dedicato per realizzare questa "opera d'arte" di altri tempi. E trovare una Donna di questi tempi moderni, che desidera partecipare ad una vita più attenta al rispetto della natura, é troppo... "Grande" e Bello. Mi é piaciuto quei piccoli momenti dove lei "filava" la Lana. Mi sembrava di vedere un film del medioevo.. Con le fatine... Vi auguro una lunga vita felice e serena. E veramente ti ringrazio molto Kris, per averci compartecipato a noi visitatori la tua fatica e creazione di questa "Macchina". Vi meritate la mia iscrizione! _ Ciao da Fausto (Roma, Italia) 9 Lug 2021

Sheesh, kids now days. Ok, ok, I'm only 80 but that was too good to pass up.
I remember my Grandmother carding cotton my hand.
@@roncooper8666 I'm older yet and don't give a fat fuck.

Last time you made something this lovely was the harp for Dot, it took me a little while until I figured out who this was for, top job dude and if this is where the channel goes when all the construction is finished then I am all for it. Next up "Spinning Jenny".
Hell of a great job, kid!
Your talents are vast.
Aww that's so cute. I so want to make one!
"and it actually works" ☺
"that should keep you quiet for a bit" 😂
😂😆😂😆☝️☝☝😂😂😆😂
What a beautiful gift…much appreciated too by the looks of things. 👍
I love this video. I love how Kris loves Dot. I'm a tad jealous, honestly. LOL! Best wishes to you both ❤
Fiber artist here. This is very sweet gesture and a great looking carder. Carding wool is insanely time consuming, and you have to wash and pick the wool first! If you are processing a large amount of wool (more than one or two animals, goats sheep whatever) you might try making a larger version of this in an electric version. The issue with a hand crank carder like this is, you have to stop to lay the wool out and then crank. If it is automated, you can just focus on putting the fibers down. Sorry to give you more work to do but, this would really help your GF out! You could easily sell your carder for 300-500 dollars. A larger version of this, electric of this quality and the sky is the limit. $2500 to 10k easy money. Then your GF could send the wool to a fiber mill to have it cleaned and carded, so she can focus on the art part! Also, carding and cleaning wool is hard on the lungs, you should always wear a mask but, nobody does. Le sigh.
He did made it electric two years ago. m.ua-cam.com/video/ACuo5qsVUHE/v-deo.html
would love to see more of Dot's process for the wool!
Beautiful workmanship! Thank you for sharing!
You're gonna have to make Dot a workshop soon, if this continues... shes gonna need a place for all the awesome stuff you make her. And she will give you many good things in return.
he'll be building another for himself more like , my wife took over my workshop now ive got one area in there just for me as soon as i move her belongs out of it hahahaha
@@nickprice235 He's building himself a new "shed" right now.
Ciao Kris,
Mi sono "veramente" goduto i 21 minuti del tuo video!!!
Donare questo tuo lavoro alla tua compagna, é davvero una dimostrazione di AMORE, sapendo quanto tempo hai dedicato per realizzare questa "opera d'arte" di altri tempi.
E trovare una Donna di questi tempi moderni, che desidera partecipare ad una vita più attenta al rispetto della natura, é troppo... "Grande" e Bello.
Mi é piaciuto quei piccoli momenti dove lei "filava" la Lana. Mi sembrava di vedere un film del medioevo.. Con le fatine...
Vi auguro una lunga vita felice e serena. E veramente ti ringrazio molto Kris, per averci compartecipato a noi visitatori la tua fatica e creazione di questa "Macchina".
Vi meritate la mia iscrizione! _ Ciao da Fausto (Roma, Italia) 9 Lug 2021
Крис-а ведь вашей девушке сейчас тоже нужна мастерская!! Какой вы молодец! И еще нужна коза -она будет давать шерсть и молоко!!
Отару овец

Awesome! You'd be great to be part of prepper here in the US..🇺🇸 I love the hand crank.. You are being called..
New better world.
Hello cherrie
Dude this was awesome! Had no idea what you were building until the end, but I love a good woodworking video - We could make you an honorary Canadian with those dinner jackets your wearing. Keep it up bud!
Wow, what an amazing video, I know your girl is happy❤
Very cool ! And a great gift that should last a lifetime. Well done and thank you for sharing.
Peace people
This is what our children need to be learning in school instead of who did what to who and how many times a hundred or thousand years ago good work
