TESTIMONIALS

 

October 2008

Thank you again for working so hard to supply our order of three
washtubs and scrub boards by our deadline.  I have attached a few photos
of our event, Expo 2008 which was attended by some 39,000 visitors over
two days.  The laundress set-up was a hit, especially with the children
who all wanted to wash clothes in the tubs.

Two tubs and boards will go into our educational collections and be used
at such events. The third set is destined for display in a 1870s dogtrot
cabin at one of the parks.  

Again, we appreciate it.

Hello Marilyn and Jim,
The little green yoke (for the Lenci doll) arrived today, and it is perfect!  Thank you ever so much!!!  If I had chosen the green color I thought I might want, I couldn't have chosen a more perfect color.
I don't know how you know how to do that, Jim.  Amazing!
 I am so pleased with his yoke, and I am sure you both must be pleased as well.  What a fun job you have, Jim.  You must be combining your "job" with a real talent in your hands.  I think that is God given.
Many thanks,
Carol Platz, CA

March 2007  Received the yoke in good time. I really like it and enjoy working with the beautiful basswood.  I have already felt the improvement in my shoulders and elbows.  Ashton Robinson, CO

The bucket kit I got a few years ago has been a big hit at our history camp at an 1891 schoolhouse. Kids were fascinated.                          Janet Oakley, Curator of Education, Skagit County Historical Museum,  LaConner, WA

We had our first reenactment with our new bucket on board.  Thought you might enjoy seeing it in its' new home.  We received lots of comments and expect that you will, too.
  Thanks again for painstakingly practicing the lost art of coopering.
Yours,
Susana, Kansas

I read the whole book cover to cover last night.  What a GREAT job!

Thanks again for the wonderful book, bucket kit and dipper, and the excitement you are part of bringing into our lives.

The yoke and buckets were a huge success.  Kendall was just thrilled. 
 I've attached a picture for you.  As you can see, the yoke fits quite nicely and is well balanced.  Thank you so much for making our Christmas special.  I know that Kendall will treasure the yoke and buckets and take good care of the beautiful, handmade items that you worked so hard to make.
 Thank you both.
 Sincerely,
Sonjia

Good day, Sir,  and my compliments!  I received your cheese box canteen and this is all I am going to say. It is Perfect!!! I tested it with water too and it is good and watertight.  Please keep a pattern  for making that canteen available for any other of our reenactors at Old Lead Region Historical Society.  You are the only person in the entire United States who manufactures that canteen correctly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                Gregory M.

To the Gasters,  Thanks so much for the butter churn - it is perfect.  I have it in my kitchen next to the chair that was in the farm house.                 Mary F.

Many  thanks.  Your work is beautiful and I am so glad I found you!  Your care and integrity adds to make a better world.                                     Nan, WA

Jim and Marilyn,                                                                                                                                                                                                    Thanks for a great two days of Coopering demonstrations and interpretation!   You certainly added a great deal to the daily routine here at the Fort.  If in the future, you have occasion to be in our area, please advise me as to the possibility of another appearance.  Again, thank you both.                                                                                                                                                                                                   Bill, Ft. Boonesborough , Richmond, KY

Thank you for your beautiful work of art--our old oaken bucket!  It is perfect! ... We love the bucket.  Jim, you are a true artist using your talents to bring treasures to others.  Keith is a perfectionist and he told me this morning that it far exceeded his expectations!    Thank you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Patty, CA
