I am from a Dutch community in the U.S. I have been enjoying your videos of your time in the Netherlands. The 5th of May starts my home towns annual tulip festival to celebrate the Dutch heritage of the town. Thank you for taking the time on your family trip to share it with your subscribers I am sure most people would call it an inconvenience to do so.

I always look with some envy at your homestead and view, but really glad you like my country. Makes me look at it in a fresh new way. as a carpenter, I do a lot of work in those very old crooked houses (I avoid new buildings). the first thing you do is put aside your levels and squares. It is more like shipbuilding, only they are as crooked on both sides.

I went to the Netherlands a dozen times or so between 1980 and, I think, 2004 was the last time I was there, while working for Philips. I always found it a delightful country to visit. One time flying there just 3 weeks after the 9-11 attacks in 2001. Which caused me a great deal of trouble since scheduled flights were still being canceled during my trip there and back. The first time I was there I stayed in Geldrop, just outside of Eindhoven. There is a windmill there. The caretaker told me there used to be a sister windmill next to it, but it had been dismantled, shipped to Holland, Michigan, where it was reassembled. If you've not been there before, being a wood worker & for other reasons, you may find the the Batavia Werf, and the Polder Museum, ( now called something else I think) just outside of Lelystad interesting. The VOC ship Batavia on it's maiden voyage to Indonesia in 1629 ran aground and sank on low islands west of Australia. Where conspirators who were already planning to mutiny murdered many people. It's regarded as the bloodiest mutiny in maritime history. The story is well told in Mike Dash's book Batavia's Graveyard. The last time I was there was late May, and I took my family. Because that spring the weather had been cold the flowers had bloomed late, we just had time to see the Keukenhof flower gardens because it had been extended one week. Now should be prime time to see it. It is just outside of Leiden. Birthplace of Rembrandt. Enjoy the Dutch Shoarma. One of the foods I miss the most. Indeed, I have several bags of spices I need to mix (from a Dutch recipe) so I can make my own Dutch style Shoarma. Something I haven't made for 3 or four years. yummy. btw, and fwiw. I found your YT channel because several days ago I was looking for videos on Orienteering, I found your Orienteering video, then found your Poor Man's Carpenter's Bench series, that I just finished watching. That I enjoyed very much.

The more people the more pulution.

Exquisite. The detail and craftsmanship in everything is astounding. Thank you for sharing.

I think that is the most impressive and as well the very first steel drum music that has not annoyed me. What an excellent tour you've taken us on, thank you.

Thank you for filming and sharing. I am so envious. My wife and I were stationed near SHAPE .Almost daily, we talk about returning there . Everything is you see is a feast for the brain. Great photography. Cheers !

Great edit with the museum shots and the the musical recording! The Dutch knack for detail most be rubbing off on you. Thank you for the videos!

Very nice to see my country through your eyes. Thanks, Cody!

So glad to see and hear thoughtful and polite American tourists! I am afraid we don't always come off that way when traveling. I have been to Scandinavia on vacation and enjoyed it immensely. You have a great family and I love seeing Jack enjoying the trip. And thank you for showing us the woodworking as you travel. Have fun!!

Thank you for this Holland promotion. As a person from Amsterdam, I was very impressed by a film you posted on KZread a long time ago. About a bridge you build for your wife, so she didn't have to run through te mud and water on het jogging route. It was a real demonstration of patience, kraftmanship and love. The world needs more people like you. Stay with us! X..

Excellent film, well made, and a joy to watch. Nice to recognize the many good things about our country.

Your comment on the beauty of the brickwork, "There's no other reason to do this than to make it look beautiful." And it certainly is a good enough reason, but, Cody, I can think of at least two more. The first being to show off the skill of the mason, who may get other work by being so skillful, and two, if you want to have a smooth faced abutment (covered in sod) that is a very good way to do it. the sod wouldn't lay so well or easily on a notched brick surface that you would get by just ending the courses in half brick style. Clever Dutch, thanks Wringlerstars.

Seen 100's of these vids about our country, none had so much eye for detail. Well done!

Great video dude! I really like how you also appreciate the little things and details :)

stunning museum montage! really well put together

Cody, you guys have got to go to Zaanse Schans and check out the windmills if you haven't already. my absolute favorite part of our Nederlands visit. Cheers!

The door with the rock weight took me straight to my grandfather's woodworking room. A lovely moment.

My husband is from the Netherlands, love visiting there, in warmer weather. The country side is beautiful when the tulips are in bloom, looks like carpet of many colors! Riding bikes over there is a way of life, most only own one car. Plus it is a lot easier to ride everywhere there, because it is flat. Bikes have the right of way. Most places have bike lanes. Enjoy your visit, hubby will be going to visit family next week.

It was kinda funny seeing foreign students not being able to keep up with our cycling pace, while we weren't going all that fast. Makes you realize what a difference it makes biking all the time growing up in the Netherlands.

Great editing and loved the space drum music :)

The brickwork at 9:00 is called "boerenvlechtwerk". They did this with houses so that the wall could handle the force of the roof. Love the way you make your videos!

Omg you've been in Bredevoort! I actually live there and I'm one of the millers there. You should've been there at a Saturday afternoon, then I could've shown you the inside of it. Would be so cool to be on a Wranglerstar video :)

This was a very well made video. I would call it a small documentary. The details thst you covered was very enjoyable. also the trip in the museum and the windmill. Wish our country would adopt the cycling culture, what a quiet and pollution free world it would be. Atb, -The Solo Hiker....

That door closer with the rock was so cool

Looking forward to Sunday. Have a nice stay in Prague!

I liked seeing the little details. I think too many people skip over these things, so it's nice to see. The finny part though when your wife started talking about how the woodworkers used new tools for efficiency and you cut the video immediately.

Ha Ha. noticed the pegging in that old "look out" tenon coming through the brick wall at 7:12. Thought my idea for your mailbox might have been ,, er,, somewhat original. Me so silly. That looked like it was hundreds of years old. (still a good idea for your timber frame mailbox post no??) Such a beautiful land!

Yup... NL is the 30st most densely populated country in the world. Denser than India and Haiti. Thank goodness they wisely have a more sustainable model with all the cycling and great public trans. What's interesting is that since the Dutch apparently cluster tightly in the major cities, there all sorts of rural or quiet bike trips you can take in the countryside. Worlds away from Amsterdam. I remember taking one trip where we passed through a designated "quiet zone" with old homes with thatched roofs. The only thing I could hear was the wind...

Anyone see what was crooked about the houses at 6:16? The brickwork? I love the fact that these videos show all these architectural details and also with the furniture in that naval cadets hall.

I am starting to watch every video... can't wait

I was really enjoying the renovations. I hope there are gonna be more coming soon

wow just amazing. and thank you for putting this up.

In case anyone is wondering, those pan-shaped instruments are called "Hang" and come from Berne, Switzerland.

When looking at the 'Nachwacht' it is important to look at the light which is, strangely, shone on the girl. It's something every Dutch kid (like myself) at one point learns. Because the light isn't supposed to shine on the girl. The painting was commissioned by the militia (schutters) of a certain city, so they were supposed to have the light shone on them (after all you put the commisioner in the spotlight no?). Rembrandt decided to experiment with a new technique/concept and instead put the light on the girl to create an interesting play on the light. Welcome to the Netherlands. Amsterdam is not the best city we have to offer I'm afraid but it's definitely a good place to go.

I love your eye for detail of how the Dutch build their houses. Nice film. Have you ever visit Giethoorn? Mabey for your next trip. Once again...nice movie of my country.

It was my wife and I's favorite place out of the 6 countries we backpacked over a month during our honeymoon. Would easily go back in a heartbeat.

Really enjoyed your video! For me personally, it's fantastic to see the little things that might seem a little strange to foreigners, are completely normal to us, such as bikes everywhere.

Really nice editing

Hey Cody, if you get the chance you might want to check out Bataviawerf, they have rebuilt a 17th-century Dutch sail ship using mostly traditional techniques. I believe they are currently building something else, and all the workshops (wood, sails, blacksmith) are usually open for visitors. Check www . bataviawerf . nl

Amazing video guys, too much to comment on. Really like your family, they make you feel right at home.

Wow Cody, would've loved to see you in person! Hope you had a wonderful experience of my hometown!

The reason they put the windmill up there is because all below was wather :) Helped restore 2 when i was 22 :P stil love the Craftmanship in them ;)

The stern piece shown at 1:49 is actually the stern piece of the HMS Royal Charles. It was the flagship of the British navy, named after the current king. But in the Raid on the Medway during 1667, we (the Dutch) captured the ship, along with some others, and burned a big part of the fleet down.

theye built the mill on a mountains to catch more wind . because the houses were dissertation the wind if the mill was built on ground level. but you got two options. you can build a mill with a balcony or you make a mountain of dirt around it .

As Willem Kossen said: Welcome! You should also check out the new architecture in Rotterdam. The "Markthal" and "Centraal Station" will amaze you.

a horticulturist nearby has his fruit trees trimmed and groomed to shape the canopy like an umbrella. Granted they are dwarf trees so they wont ever grow very tall but they do make picking fruit easier.

Was the mill build on a mount because there is more wind up higher or was it so that the rest was underwater and they used the mill to get rid of the water?

Nice to see my country thru your eyes

At 1:50, on the Coat of Arms, it is written in French "Dieu et mon droit", which can be translated in English as "God and my right". This Coat of Arms looks a lot like the one of the Monarch of the United Kingdom. I would think it was devised when an old French dialect was in use at the Court, in the Middle Ages.

I think we should construct a Windmill on the Homestead. We'll start by creating the mound for the foundation. The ultimate timber framing project!

Interesting idea.. You might want to check out "spinnenkopmolen" (a small type of windmill that evolved from the "wipmolen" which evolved from the postmill). Due to their size, they are fairly easy to construct, and I've seen them with belt-pulley-systems to do a range of tasks, from grinding wheat to sawing wood to producing electricity. Originally they were used to pump water.
