Anybody else here because Rosie is joining the project?
I imagine they are amazed at the big bump in subscribers, eh?
Lol, just finished watching the Tallyho update with Leo and saw where Rosie was coming over to this project. Totally following her here as well!
Yup!
Absolutely
Yess!
I’m following now since I heard Rosie will be joining your project! Tally Ho!
Rosie Fan here. Good luck Rosie!!
I'm a Rosie fan from Queensland Australia and after watching a couple of episodes, this channel stands on its own merits, especially this one. Subscribed
Beautiful knives and a wonderful connection to the F/V Western Flyer. Amazing timing to be going by the Flyer at the very moment that piece of iron bark fell off. So glad he managed to catch it. Thank you for showcasing this gentleman and his wonderful craft.
These stories are priceless, what a wonderful guy!
I’m here because Rosie has joined you from the Sampson Boat Co and Tally Ho , look after her , because she became a favourite on that project !
Me too 😊
Dave is a true craftsman I love his shop. I’ve also want to comment earlier that you have put together a talented group of shipwrights, the youngsters are more talented than their age. This shows a passion for the craft of building and maintaining these wonderful boats.
Rosie will be a great asset to the Western Flyer project. Go Rosie!
Mr Dave , your knowledge and wisdom and hands on experience is worth more than a Kings ransom !! ( in my humble opinion ) thanks for sharing ;-)
So great that you hired Rosie. She’s FAB!
Chris, when the Western Flyer gets back in the water, I think you should continue making these videos on all aspects of boat building in the Northwest. The stories, characters, workshops, tools etc are all fascinating and very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all you do.
Chris, you did great finding this gentleman and even better letting the story be about him, and editing yourself out. You are both pros. What fantastic experience Dave has. Really great episode.
I don't care what the craftsman does, what his or her craft is, he or she could be knitting a sweater for all I care. If he or she is a true craftsman I will watch it with respect and enjoy it immensely. Respect being the important word here.
I'm with you! I love watching how they make it look so easy, but you know that there is years and years of experience and talent at work...amazing!
Best episode yet. Thank you for showing this artist and his stories.
Nothing like a beautiful hand made tool.
Thoroughly enjoyed this show. I could listen to Dave's stories for hours!
Here because of Leo and Rosie et al.. Reluctant to subscribe lots of channels as I get mentality invested in the human story unfolding. Happy now to also regard the Western Flyer restoration.
Thank you for sharing Dave Ber's story with us. This was a very interesting and enjoyable video (as all your videos are!). Thank you!
i totally admire Dave and the way he looks at life and lives it as well. great video.
This video is AWESOME! I always look forward seeing them!!!
Came over to see how Rosie gets on at her new place of work. Best wishes Rosie..
You are so fortunate to collect these wonderful life stories. And thank you so much for sharing them. Priceless.
Wow! Very interesting fellow. Thank's Chris for sharing his story.
Ohhhhh, what a wonderful, nice, priceless episode. And what a great, inspiring charakter he is! Thanks Chris for this making this video. Greetings from Germany
Thank you. What an amazing display of knowledge. You can't get that out of a book. This man has observations from a lifetime. Awesome
What a great episode - fabulous
I’ve been watching for a while now, this is really a touching story and a turbulent time. Thanks for getting me through.
Really interesting guy. Loved his workshop. I like the side stories connected to the Flyer, they add a lot to the history. Keep well.
A fascinating story about Dave. I hope he is making knives for many years....
Another Rosie fan here. Good luck Rosie!
What an incredible man. Could watch him work and listen to him for ages
Super awesome! Thanks for the great video.
Dave and his stories where great. Be interesting to hear some of his adventures.
Very nice indeed Chris. What a character. I bet he amused you with endless stories and adventures. And to top it all a master craftsman. Thanks Chris.
Beautiful, really enjoyed your visit to Dave the knife maker.
Great vid.
From Missouri
Wow, what a great episode. Story, video and music all perfect. Thank you.
Best film yet. Coolest small workshop
Another amazing connection! It is really enjoyable to see how many fascinating stories that are related to the Flyer come to light. Evey new chapter gives the project more depth, meaning and beauty. Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
Thanks for the terrific content!
What a workshop! Just beautiful.
Rosie Rosie Rosie flyer you got a new subscriber 👍👍👍👍
Glad to be here! Can't get enough Rosie!
Beautifully filmed, beautifully edited and beautifully said. Thank you.
Epic...thank you for sharing, we need more of these old timers....👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
Love this guy’s work!
This as well as all the other vlogs away from the Western Flyer have been absolutely fantastic. Highly interesting, informative, & enjoyable. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍⛴ ⛴ ⛴ ⛴ ⛴ 👍👍👍
Great to see a real craftsman at work!
This is a truly brilliant series for boat lovers
In this crazy world we live in it is so nice to watch a video like this. A man who has had an honest life and is willing to share. I have no grumbles about my own life but I do look at the craftsman in boat building and restoration, the characters like Dave that you come across and I do drift and think what if I took another turn all those years ago. I’ve been a soldier, a sailor (domestic) I.m now a father and husband. No regrets in any, but if could be 16 again? Love watching these videos. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoyed this episode
I really enjoy your videos. It’s amazing what people can make with their hands. I have only been following for a couple of months.
This was expertly presented. I truly enjoyed watching it.
Love this story!
Super interesting, thanks for sharing... Great editing, cinematography and story telling!!!
I got here because of rosie :P lets see this amazing crafting
Where is Rosie the Rockstar? Tally Ho sent me
LOL, I just headed over myself from the Tally No.
lol, give her time to start!
@@PatrickPoet just having fun with ya. Like many, we are just excited to see Rosie catch these positive breaks. I don't think she realizes the fanbase :)
What a life! I am envious of his history and the workshop is heaven. My Grandfather's shop in Puyallup (late 60's) reminded me of that and I could smell it just watching the video. Thanks.
Great video!! Thank you
Awesome, cheers ol fella!
What a great story, thanks.
checked you out before but came back to support Rosie. now to start from the beginning.
Delightful video thanks!
Wonderful! Gracias. Great story.
Its really refreshing, to see a guy like Dave produce a craftman made article with such passion and attention to detail. Nice one Dave. Nice to see Rosie is moving over from the Tally Ho to the Western Flyer but I was watching both projects and realy enjoy the skills of wooden boat building. Greetings to all from across the pond.
Chris, great video, even better guy!
I love stories like theses!! Wish I had some of that iron bark. I be been knife making for 10+ years. I also have made everything I use in my shop. Well. Almost everything!!🤣🤣💪🏼
I hope to come to the west coast and see the Western Flyer in person!!
❤️🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
Thank you all for your kind words; this was one of my favorite episodes to put together. I'm planning to bring more stories like this to life in the coming months. As for a knife of your own, Dave would be more than happy to build a knife for you. Reach out to him. I have left his email in the description box.
Thank you again, and please help spread the word. Tell a friend about this channel.
Ok I take it all back, your doing great work with the Western Flyer. Any time any one with a program as popular as yours devotes an entire episode to an “ OLD COOT “ , they have to be sailing a true line. Thank you very much, From one Old Coot to another.
Great episode! His description of the carpenter shop being run by belt drives is exactly as I remembered seeing at the Pacific American Fisheries cannery in Alitak (Kodiak) Alaska on my first trip on a purse seiner in 1958. What a craftsman!
Followed rosie to this project from Leo's Tally Ho. Look forward to seeing this endeavor too!
Lovely chapter of the Western Flyer story.
Great episode
Here because of Rosie.
So just to be clear, I was subbed before Rosie jumped ship. Anyway, It's all good for the boat building community in Port Townsend. Sounds like Leo will be your neighbor soon enough.
Great video
Another Rosie fan on board!
Interview with Grandpa. Very interesting guy. I would love to hang out with him and listen to his stories. Thank you sir.
Very cool!
I love all this background information and interviews .
Thank you Western Flyer for introducing me to Dave the knife person Alan Australia
Wow such a cool story , Regains ones faith in Humainty
Rosie fan, subbed :)
This comment is not about the attached video but relates to the overall direction of the Western Flyer Foundation video content. Though I am interested in the purpose of the foundation, I was drawn to and hold greatest interest in the actual work of RESTORATION. That interest drags me through the side stories but I feel the channel would gain if there was more focus on the boat restoration now and a shift to excursions and adventures later. As it is, the content seems to miss what is important now while attempting to present what can't be captured until the boat is in the water. This might explain why other channels with far less resource have six times the subscribers. Your video quality is superb and the only difference is content focus. I believe the greatest draw to the channel is seeing shavings from rebuilding the Western Flyer and learning the personal back-stories of the workers who are building her. It's the people and effort that attracts. The overall mission may be noble but can't live without the soul of it's workers. This is of course my own personal opinion but I have seen this view of the WFF supported by many comments on other large boat restoration channels. Please take this as an opinion from a faithful subscriber who wishes you the best.
Cool story.
Gracias! So nice to watch true craftsman workin!👍✌️😊🙏🏼⚒🛠⚒🛠⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Here for Rosie, cool boat tho. Going back to start at the beginning until she gets here.
So much truth and honesty what a warming soul
It was quite an experiance walking into the cupula building at Point Hudson that housed the chandlery and being overwhelmed by the smell of okum, pine tar and leather,the leather that Dave Ber used in his knife sheaths.You should order a sheath,it too is a work of art.His deluxe rigging knife had a matching pricker housed in the same sheath.He is a great knife maker/ artist.A Northwest treasure.
Very nice...
Good 👍
3:50 with all the belts I'm surprised it wasnt still steam powder lol
Amazing knifes and story's
Fascinating guy, amazing craftsman?
💕 love Rosie
Great shirt btw
Subbed for Rosie 🤠
when do we hear about the engine. Nice to Rosie joining the project
Thanks for this video, it is great to know people live you. Let me know please what to do to get one of those Damascus knife
Dave needs to make a few carpenter marking knives for some of your shipwrights. Then you could give them to them after the project is done. Alot less steel and a piece of the ship to take with them.
wow what a cool guy! I want to get to know him. Hey Dave i am over on Orcas Island if you need any more steel i have lots of truck frame and lief springs would love to meet and learn from you
