Nice Box sash windows, unusual to see them in rural France
Yes Nigel the French missed out on these fantastic windows which is a shame really as they are way better then any thing they have here in my opinion but i must say the French people around here absolutely love them even though some of them say they remind them of the guillotine in a joking way
i imagine Budo is a very good and passion teatcher. So everybody who is around, go and visit Budos workshops. I am sure they are fun.
Thank you Herbert yes I'm really looking forward to getting in production of joinery for people's homes and running workshop weeks for people to come and attend 😀 cheers buddy 👍🏻
Very neat painting, wow. Well done. 😊❤ Love the drawers too 😊❤
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😊 x
Quite simply I thrive while in nature , the sounds the smells and the wildlife. It inspires me to be creative and nurturing 😌
Thank you and us too 😊 x
What an amazingly talented couple you are . Your home is so stunning , your kitchen is going to be so wow ! ❤
Thank you so much! 🙏😍
Beautiful beautiful windows ❤
Thank you so much 🤗 🙏
It seems very sad to me that after all your wonderful work, you are selling out! Is this truly what you want? So sorry. Hope I am wrong.
Hello Jan we are not selling the “ house “ if you watched to the end l show you what we are selling 😍🙏
Loving all your work. A great husband and wife team. 🎉🎉🎉 Could you tell me the brush sizes you used for the kitchen, doors and windows. 😊
So glad you are 😍and l used a 2.5 inch brush and my artist brush 😍🙏
Once again, 🙄 I find myself watching Budo making furniture. It must be his passion I’m attracted to cause I’m really not interested, yet, I keep watching 😂. I think the color of the kitchen window should be the same as the outside. It’s such a warm off white and would look fabulous with the stone mortar. 🤗😘
Thank you we appreciate you watching and your suggestion 🙏😍
Love love love
Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Great craftsmanship. Such a lot of work being carried out by you both 😊 loving your choice of colours.
Thanks so much 😊 John 😍🙏
I really enjoyed watching how to make dovetail joint though I probably never will make my own. Also like the bone color. Not sure about the Venetian window because I don't know what else will be up on the wall.
Thank you 🙏😍
How many coats of primer do you put on a door and how often do you sand?
Hi Rita thank you for watching we sand before the primer coat the sand after before the undercoat then do the top coats 😍🙏
I think a white window will look great. Love the quality of work, I can almost smell the fresh cut wood.
You and me both! Thank you for watching 🙏😍
💜💙💚
Thank you Tiamat 😍🙏
Greetings to you both. Your choice of color is perfect, window, door & cabinets! I'm anxious to see the finished kitchen.😊
Thanks so much! 😊Sue so am l 🙏
Love the colour scheme window staying white and the door same as the cabinets looks beautiful. Thank you Tracey I received my beautiful lavender bag for my wardrobe ❤ love to you both the kitchen looks absolutely stunning 🤩 Tracey your so lucky
Thank you so much Melanie and yes l am truly lucky to have Budo and l am so glad it arrived 🙏😍
Love the kitchen love the colour of the door and the window white xx
Thanks so much Eira😊🙏xx
Wonderful work Budo! Love all the colors. Maybe the horns would look good in a contrasting color so they show up more . Everything is beautiful as always!!
Thank you so much for your suggestion and thank you for watching 😍🙏
Beautiful work you two,that kitchen is to die for you both work so hard .
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
Beautiful! Sending love from Arkansas, USA❤
Thank you 😍🙏
Love the F&B colours. Budo the Master Craftsman making a hand made kitchen amazing skills and excellent windows and door. A joy to watch. Have a wonderful week both.
Thank you so much Phil so glad you are enjoying our channel 😀
It must be a lovely feeling painting your very own kitchen which your husband has made for you.
Thank you June yes it's amazing really when you think of it how many people can say that hand made bespoke kitchen how lucky people are to get to see a craftsman at his best giving every thing for all to learn for free 😀 it's a shame our channel is so small
Budo, those dovetails are perfect. Tracy, great job on painting. I love the colors. ❤
Thanks so much Peter😊🙏

Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Kitchen envy x 10, One thing is for sure, everyone here in France is so sick of all this rain, and the winter has not started here yet and its no god for trying to work outside in the yard, Sending best wishes from Brittany.😊
So true Kim 🤦♀️it feels like summer has been and gone in a blink of an eye. We hope you are well and settling into your home have a good week 😍🪻🙏
Windows look lovely and I like the colours. Your kitchen is moving along nicely too. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
Thanks so much 🙏😍
I’ve been watching you from the start but very rarely comment. I really enjoyed learning how dovetailed joins are done and so admire your carpentry work. I follow this channel and thought you might enjoy this episode as it shows a different carpentry construction of a chateau roof th-cam.com/video/FC82HxpBDi4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WWFw-gXXyiv1lHti
What r U going to put onto your worktops to stop staining etc
Hi Patricia I'll be sealing them with 3 to 4 coats of finishing oil and re oiling them yearly xx
You and Buddha do absolutely superb work. What a lovely home you will have. Bravo!!
Thank you so much 😍🙏
Very skilled work on your channel to watch . Thanks
So nice of you and thank you for watching 🙏😍
Keeping the window color the same inside as the rest of the windows is my preference. The woodwork is beautiful. Loved the dovetail lesson.
Awesome! Thank you!😍🙏
Great job Budo
Thank you Beverly 🙏😍
I must express my disappointment again, last week i was annoyed that you didn't finish the sash chord installation, this week you only showed half the dovetail cutting process. How come everyone else on TH-cam completes their explanations. I enjoy the concept of your channel, but how about the full story, i dont doubt you can do it, lets see the full process.
Thanks Timothy but if I showed every little detail of the carpentry jobs we would need 2 or even 3 hour videos so I try and give an over all picture so people don't get to bored of watching but I will be running work shop weeks here if your interested
Wow the window looks terrific love it . Thank you Budo for showing us how to dovetail . Camera's were perfect 👌 great job on the draws . Love the paint colours for the window and the door they look great
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching 🙏😍
As always, precision, beauty, and craftsmanship in one video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!🙏😍
I love the music you used. Can you tell Me what it is?
The music is from Art list an on line platform you have to subscribe to thank you for watching 🙏😍
I like the paint in and outside
Thank you Jackie 😍🙏
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching 🙏😍
It’s looking lovely. Interior paint for window match cupboards and door paint. You don’t have any other white painted wood so it has that ‘it’s primed but never have gotten around to putting final color on’ look.
Great point thank you for watching 🙏😍
Your kitchen will be such a joy to cook in! What color is the ceiling going to be? Is it going to be white? A white window will look lovely above your white sink. What color for the walls? It's such fun watching it all come together! I started watching you a month ago and am watching from the beginning too, so I'm just watching the thin concrete floor come up and the dig down for insulation. Fascinating! Thanks!
Thank you for joining our journey and welcome aboard 😍the ceiling will be white and the wall colour choice will be coming up soon we hope you enjoy all the videos 😍🙏
Great window and color
Thank you 🙏😍
Wonderful music at the opening.
Thank you 🙏😍
Beautiful!
Thank you! 🙏😍
I don't love the green, but I don't hate it either. The window trim color looks great. I love the dove tail drawers.
Thank you for watching 🙏😍
The Venetian window looks fantastic! The kitchen is really coming together. You're color choices are really nice.
Thanks so much! 😊🙏
I have kitchen envy, so beautifully made.
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Always a pleasure to watch!
Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Lovin the kitchen so far!!
Thank you for watching 😍🙏
