That was great! Mr. Thomas is a treasure. I suppose Daniel and Jake are alright too.😁
Super and very enjoyable 😉 😊
Thank you so much!
Please pass on to madam Williams my thankfulness for participating in this video. I had a very pleasant moment watching it. I do wonder if this lady owns a land or how does she otherwise get to the oak trees. I am self learning ash basketry. Because the trees are all dying here due to the ash emerald borer. Lots of wood available. Not the preferred black ash but the other varieties also yield splints. It is just more work. I have made a few. And enjoying basketry a lot. I wish I was closer to a master willing to pass on knowledge. I do envy mrs Williams neighbors! I apologize for my strange phrasing but I am a francophone. Many thanks again, Michelle from LaPrairie, Qc, Canada P.S. the turn back explanation is indeed perfect.
So great to see this. Jim and his family have been very important in my musical journey. Such generous and down to earth people. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for explaining turn-backs !
I absolutely love baskets
I'm so glad you made this video! I've always wanted to learn how to make baskets. I have five children so I will pass on what I learn from you to them. I see that you haven't many views yet. Please don't let that discourage you from making more videos. I've noticed that niche craft videos often get off to a slow start. But, the way I look at it, you're making these videos for folks like yourself, (and me). We're out here, maybe in small numbers but, we're here. So, we'll pass on our knowledge that we glean from you to a few others and then they will do the same and so on. This art is beautiful and practical, we won't let it die. I hope you don't mind just a hint of advice...smile a little more. Show us your enthusiasm and we will become enthusiastic tool
I'll have to show this to my students! Jim was my musical mentor growing up and now I'm the music teacher in Grundy County, TN.
Bravo Jim. Thank you for teaching me how to play the fiddle. It has been a transformative experience over the last two decades. My best wishes to you and your family. -Kirk Pickering
