Technical note for nerds: yes, this was done against a green screen. Yes, I did forget I was going to hold up items to camera with green in them. Yes, this did lead to infinitely frustrating keying problems hence a bit of green fuzz here and there. Yes, I probably could have masked and tracked out all the offending issues but even with automation this would have taken days as I waved everything around so much. Let's just let it be, eh?

Let me make this absolutely crystal clear for any cynical trolls: I am getting NO commission from these vendors and I specifically requested the products on loan, to be returned at my expense after filming (though some of the vendors have since said I can keep them). I chose to feature them entirely of my own accord and no deals have been struck.

Fran and Rich actually just posted a new vlog. Didn't seem like they were going to quit vlogging, though. They'd just had a need to give it a break for a bit. As I understood it, they'll continue to post them at leisure. Which, let's be honest, one cannot fault them for.
Oh, I see there's been a misunderstanding here. When I said "who doesn't vlog", it was with a question mark on the end, more a slightly sarcastic "who of us doesn't vlog??". I apologise to you and them for any confusion 😔
@@CruisingTheCut It's allright. Not being a native English speaker (I'm Norwegian), I might not allways pick up on the finer nuances of the language. I try my best, though... :)
Thank you Innerspace100, we certainly are very much vlogging.
@@FloatingOurBoat You are most wellcome, you two! Cheers!
Thank you so much for including us in your Christmas round up David. It is great to see you promoting canal traders.
Lovely
If David started a Macrame craft business it'd be called Knot My Thing.
🤣
A Christmas video of David stroking his penguin. Well done, nice wrap up for 2022.
I think this is the first time I have ever watched a 22 minutes shopping channel from start to finish and not felt cheated at the end of it! Well done David.
😀😀
Exactly!
Hi David!
Thanks for being a steadfast narrow boating proponent.
You're a good man, David, promoting once again narrow boat crafts. If the background was your new home, how cosy would that be!
Haha it would cost a fortune to heat!
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you David. 👏👏👍😀
So generous of you to do this David, but the thing I most love it hearing you explain these various crafts! Excellent!
Great collection, this is becoming essential seasonal viewing, so good that you promote the NB community, nothing beats a fireside chat (even a virtual one) with David.
Looking with admiration at how many creative people we have on our canal networks.
Thank you so much for the shout out David 😁 We also have a Dru Marland map! Brilliant stuff
He couldn't leave the chuggers out
Great to see your game featured, get ready for the orders 👍
What a lovely way to give a gift to a whole raft (ahem) of narrowboaters. The artistic constraint of working in small space is an interesting one. If I ever get a narrowboat, I suppose it’s the end of my furniture making career. But many other things can be done quite well in a small space.
Enjoyed seeing all the talent David is showing…looks like a fun way of life😊
AWESOME!!
All ready started checking certain items you displayed. You are a delightful salesman!! There is such an array of talent floating the waterways. 👍👍👍
Thanks, David!!
I always try and support local arts and crafts, their creativeness shines through in their work, far more quality than the mass produce items. Everything you showed had been beautifully created. Thank you for a very interesting video.
It is great you are helping other narrowboaters out by making this video sharing their many talents. It all looks good as well and buyers will appreciate the hard work they put into it.
Thank you very much!
You are such a delightful man. What a lovely thing to do to support both the artist and the narrow boat lifestyle. I’m off to place some orders now!
😊
David. Thank you for the ray of sunshine, you bring into my life. Need to see more of you.🙏🙏👍
" For that unwashed person in your life " hahaha 😳 😁 Thanks, David, for yet another marvellous Video! 😘
Yes - loved that too!
Lol.
"..on Par with a sub-5 year old with a crayon." Hey, watchit! My 4yo has you in her sights!
You are a sweetie. I enjoyed your vlog, and appreciated your doing it. Good to see you at home.
Twitter...😂 Well, never mind that. David, you are truly good chap and I believe also a frustrated comedian. Happy holiday of your choosing.
I love your merch videos at the holiday. There are so many talented people on the canals so it's nice to highlight a few each year.
We love supporting the narrowboat traders we meet, and you are right that there’s such a variety of talent! You featured some of our favourites, and I’m the lucky owner of one of Fran’s ‘nobbly’ scarves. Another favourite crafter is @bybikeandboat Rich who creates wonderful pieces upcycling copper pipes in the workshop on the back of his boat ❤️
You are so wonderful to promote these hard working artists!!
Very, very talented people. Love the variety. Really nice items!
Cruising the Cut does Shopping Chanel. Brilliant episode. I wish I’d seen this in November, some really great ideas.
Thank you David, we loved seeing all the other crafts our fellow boaters make and sell 😍
Brilliant David and a very generous thing to do. Love the background.
Absolutely amazing vlog, loved the stuff. As soon as I can I will be buying some of the item you showed. Take care and Blessings to you XXX
love this professioonal green screen action and kudos for the interior styling of your homes great hall 🙂 thank you for this wonderful video!
recently had my Powered by Cheese Sandwiches shirt delivered form you. It's brilliant👍👌I thinks it is great supporting the other narrow boat artisans. keep it up Legend!!
Excellent!! Thank you, glad you like it!
This was so much fun to watch! You’ve done a good deed for the Christmas season, informing folks about these particular, narrowboat creators, and reminding us that there are many, many others out there. That’s brilliant! Merry Christmas!🎄
I will never look at a penguin quite the same again. 😮
Your most entertaining vlog to date! But I still miss them from your boating days...
That canal game reminds me of Ticket to Ride. A train equivalent game my parents and my brother bought. Fascinating.
I like your background, I'd like that for real! Proper fireplace with some rock art.
Hello from the U.S. of A. I just love your channel!!!
Thank you!
David, given your age, how did you dodge the glorious height of macrame craze during the 1970s? Was it not a thing in the UK?
Everyone in the US had those dust catchers everywhere during the 70s.
I loved listening to you trying to describe it.🤣
Lovely bit of friendly hawking. I must say, nice to see you having a place to hang your beanie - I hope you're safely established in your new domicil and shan't be on the street this winter.
Thank you, I am settled in 😀
My wife and I really enjoyed this video. Some lovely items. Thankyou.
I love the cards, so beautiful
Me too!!
Your enthusiasm is an art in itself. Hope you have a merry Christmas....
Good laugh and nice things as well. Nice work as usual David🎉
Love the decor of the new Land Base. Really nice fireplace. 👍👍
Ha, if only! It's a public domain image from Wikimedia
@@CruisingTheCut Would be nice to sit by such a fireplace on a winter evening with good friends and stories of your Years of Cut Adventures .
David recording from his dungeon! (I know it's a digital backdrop!)
Glad to see you featuring the delightful work of my chum Dru Marland. Plus all the other talented folk out there.
I believe Rum goes down well with a lot of Narrowboaters 🤔🤣
Very good David. Some good chuckles too
Most enjoyable! I tip my hat to the featured vendors for the quality of their products.
Confused you will be after watching this week's episode of .... Cruising the cut.
For a while I thought I had found QVC on TH-cam.
Excellent products and presentation.
Wonderful creativity! I can quite understand your enthusiasm. Love them all although the ribbon cards are at the top of my ‘must get’ list I think. And a map of the canals to frame, and a lovely warm scarf, and a CtC mug or T-shirt and . . . . . ! Oh dear!
You should do more reviews. Your descriptions are great as usual
Thank you
That board game is smash !!!
Very nice backdrop you've got there 👍and those folded ribbon cards are absolutely fantastic! Very collectable indeed.
Love the narrowboat creations! We know your reputation so understand the disclosure is necessary. Beautiful items! Thanks for sharing!
Re Suziesuescreations...the word you were searching for is "tactile" 😉
Lovely video again. Love Fran and Rich, nice people.. All were great. I always support small businesses at Chrissy even if I am not a huge buyer and shopper at this time.. All great ideas David..
Great video, David. Always enjoy all your videos .Have a wonderful holiday.
We met Dru at Bradford on Avon a few tears ago. We were moored up behind her for the night.
Thanks David love your merch vlogs - some really beautiful items and very talented people. You have me thinking now :)
Be great if for Christmas expert Gary and Mara returned for more Christmas cooking.
Ah, unfortunately that won't be the case this year.
I was hoping you would do this video! Thank you, so much! Great picks! 😎💕💕💕💕💕💕😎
"Stroking the Penguin" and I thought this was a family safe channel.
Happy Holiday and God bless you
I haven't any artistic talent either so I envy those people who are talented.
What a superb choice. People are so talented. Love it all especially the iris folding which I do myself. Very therapeutic. Thank you David. This was fabulous.
Ha ha ha 🤣😂🤣😂 You can go to Twitter, if it still exists at the time you're viewing this.
So funny 😀
Good sincere selling job. Thank you
Lovely vlog again. I am also subscribed to floating our boat. As a watercolorist and knitter, I love their merch. Those paintings are insanely gorgeous! Loved the pub background of this vlog and your typical David humor.
I have had a rough couple of days and i was amused by this vlog. Thank you.
Hello, Hello! Beautiful things that people do, so genuine and made with a good, warm heart! Nice video! Have a nice weekend! 😃💚
To those producing maps... One of the best maps I have of Tokyo is actually a tea towel. It's one of the few portable maps you can get in any form that shows the actual correctly proportioned layout of the areas together with train and underground lines. Most maps are London Underground style where scale and relative location is essentially thrown out the window. That it's a tea towel too is fab. All the maps David showed in this vid would make great tea towels.
These are nice items, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed the crafts. Thanks for showing them to us.
Thank you and Merry Christmas
I love all of your videos david, you are a true professional.
Very interesting and amazing talent..thanks for showing
I like the 🇩🇪 black red yellow fire in the background
Love these types of video!!! Just brilliant! We’ve only been on our boat for a year, just over and it’s so nice to be introduced to other boaters! X
I bought an Argy Bargy board game!
Brilliant David. Thank you
Such a nice Vlog, love Rich’s paintings xx
As I age words that I know perfectly well just leave my brain at a moments notice. David you are a few years younger than I yet you did struggle with a word during your splendid discussion of Narrowboaters creative gift ideas for Christmas.
Love your lounge room in your new house David
I thought it was to pretty to be real. If it is real i sure love it too
Thank you for all the info about such cool stuff!
From one David to another,chapeau sir,love what what you are doing keep it up!
David, you ought to host a shopping channel show!
🌟👍👏. As usual. So well presented, with lots of fun 😁. Will be definitely having a look. Thanks David. Enjoy YOUR Christmas 👏🌟. Joan
What amazing creations. The swan was beautiful, perhaps my favorite. Thanks for sharing them all.
Thank you Kathy ☺️
So animated! Very entertaining.
Owls & foxes, fine. Stoats?! That won't do! They'll take over your hall & drink up all the port. Ruin the snooker table. Tsk, tsk!! :vD Those are some great gifts & the penguin folding card is really neat. I'll have to get one & maybe a second for somebody other than myself....
Merry Christmas David to you and your family. All the best in the new year, 2023. God bless. I love this video. It was very nice to see all of the wonderful crafts you showed us.
Cheers!
Yes I like the background. Very Inca/Aztec/Mayan feel. Just waiting for Lara Croft to swing thru!
Really enjoying your very festive gift ideas really fun and oozing with talent there aee some very clever people about doing great things. Thankyou for organising this vid .Have a Happy Christmas
Your awesome to do this. They are great items . Merry Christmas to you.⭐️💛
I enjoyed seeing all the great items narrowboaters are creating. I still miss cruising the cut, but i enjou other vlogs, cruising the cut is still my favorite. Happy Holidays
fabulous job
Another brilliant vlog David. Great content and narration. You should also be on TV.
Merry Christmas David. May the holidays find you warm, healthy and safe. As a side note, it's macrame cord 🙂
Cord! That's a much better word that I'd never have thought of!!
