Just fascinating. I love your appreciation of these older technologies. The joinery is lovely. Here in the States the Shakers and Mennonite communities built furniture and homes in this way, and I was fortunate to inherit several Shaker and Amish pieces from my aunt and uncle, who collected them. Thank you for sharing this wonderful history!
I have just discovered your treasure trove of content! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your recordings of these magnificent historical buildings and accoutrements! What a wealth of information you have made available to those who live too far away to visit! Thank you!!
Your museum tours allow me to travel vicariously to places and things I'd love to see. Thanks for posting. I appreciate your steady hand with the camera and also taking closeups of the old tools, machines and everything horse drawn.
We are fortunate in the Midwest of the US, because there were immigrants from so many world cultures. They brought with them ideas if not tools (in the mid west of the 1850's-80's era). Your videos are much appreciated.
I found you for the shoe tutorials, but we're visiting the Museum this weekend so I ran a UA-cam search. And Harry comes to the rescue again! :D Thank you!
A magical place, looking forward to going again...

Harry Rogers Gostaria de saber qual o lugar que aconteçe esses eventos de vcs e tambem se e aberto a pessoas de outro pais, Gostaria se vc pudesse passar informaçao desses eventos sou do Brazil.vcs sao demais.
Thanks Ron...it was a devil to edit, as I had some on location voice and some after film voice, plus it was windy and I was using a different camera with a slower focus, but better colour depth....all cameras seem to have some compromises. The coopered chair was great, and would make an inspiring project.
Very many thanks for posting this video Harry! Living near Sevenoaks we spent many happy days at this museum, and John Frier, the flint building expert from the museum was good enough to visit us and instruct me on flint building techniques when I built my barn, this is a magical place to visit, and I must say it is most refreshing to see that you focus on the really interesting aspects of these buildings, like door furniture and joints, all things which the regular camera tour people gloss over all to quickly, we now live in southern France where almost all the buildings are like this, a very interesting video, which unfortunately will not be appreciated by any but the most enthusiast of viewers. Many thanks, Chris B.
It's a shame this video doesn't have more views than it does. You've done a wonderful job editing and commentating the events of this awesome fair. Good job :)
another wonderful video harry they just get better and better.Are you going to film the renovations on your new shop,would really love to see your work,i know i'm not the only one,cheers ron from florida
Thanks thats very kind - the new workshop is moreless done - I did take a few clips avoiding the rain....its been so wet....so I will pop them in a film...possibly on the Glasgow chair, a new one I am developing. Regards Harry
Given the shortage of good indoor light, I'd have thought people would have kept most of their walls whitewashed. Does anyone have good information on this?
What a treasure of English heritage and history. Truly gorgeous.

Great - and its a lovely museum, I have done some other videos there..Tindalls cottage, both farmhouses etc. I hope you have a great time.

Big up the Weald❤️💐🙏
I so enjoyed this video, thank you for posting.
My favorite video yet! I really like the coopered chair I would like to make one some day.

Thanks Benn - it was a great place to visit!
another wonderful video harry they just get better and better.Are you going to film the renovations on your new shop,would really love to see your work,i know i'm not the only one,cheers ron from florida
Great place.
That gate's diagonal support would seem to be backwards. Normally you see the diagonal brace in compression, and not in tension. Interesting.
VERY NICE VIDEO
Another wonderful video....great narration and your personality shines through. How's the new workshop going?
Can't wait to see it ;)
Thanks thats very kind - the new workshop is moreless done - I did take a few clips avoiding the rain....its been so wet....so I will pop them in a film...possibly on the Glasgow chair, a new one I am developing. Regards Harry
If only we could all go back - except with the internet ;)
well i guess Mr. Rogers sort of does
