    I have recently stumbled onto your channel and subscribed to it. I sit here and think every time... what a pleasant person you are. So polite, and always a pleasant laugh... I wish the world had more folks like you. A lovely bride and sweet kids. God bless your nice little family.

    How many of us said out loud GET THE GLASS DOOR KNOBS FOR THE POTTER'S HOUSE!! Okay, maybe just me? LOL And that green restored water pump would look good in the yard! There are thousands of us out here living vicariously through your videos, as if we were with you, filled with anticipation to see inside each box you open. Thank you so much for taking us along!

    That dentist drill might be useful for a carver or sculptor. It has its limitations, but medical equipment is usually extremely well made, and its a work of art in its own right.

    I caught the end of your live show and had to re-watch, but couldn't find a place to post a comment, so this comment pertains to that live episode from tonight. We love your show and your store and wish we were close enough to drop by. But it would probably take two weeks to drive there. I would love to see Canada again. You are such a great bunch of people accomplishing wonderful things! Thank God for Canadians! My dad (a Canadian) and I enjoyed watching Kung Fu in the early 70s (thanks for the memory). I also adore Bruce Lee, Craftsman style, and Frank Lloyd Wright and now I am even more excited to see how the Potter’s house turns out. I was so glad you stripped that paint off those beautiful door frames. Chewy is adorable! On this show, that was a talented collector you met up with. Enjoyed the visit.Thanks for sharing everything with all of us. Y'all are so much better than T.V.!!!!!!!

    The diecast I'm into are mostly matchbox and some Hot Wheels, but I want them old, with bad paint, stepped on, whatever poor condition. I enjoy restoring them, the ones that are not rare go to neighborhood kids... I might sell some, but mostly they go to the local kids anonymously.
