I have a fiddle, mandolin, and dulcimer all handmade by my grandfather. He lived in Northeast Mississippi. It truly is a dying art.He made his own forms to bend the wood. Truky amazing to watch him work. He was in his seventies and nothing seemed to slow him down.

Good morning, Mr. Donnie, I woke up this morning with the vision of a string of hair. I look at KZfaq and this was the first video I saw, your precious beautiful video. Bless those folks. They knew the true meaning of life. Now every is fake, poison, and cheaply plasticly made. I sure miss how my mother use to make clothes and buttons for coats dresses. Thank you for making my morning special. God bless you, family, and freinds.

If being able to create, repair and save the things the Good Lord has given us is being stupid and backwards then I'm guilty. And I Praise God from whom all blessings flow for allowing me to be born and raised in the Great Smokies. Thank you, Donnie, for another great video and your hard work on bringing Appalachian history to the world is much appreciated. Blessings....

Good morning Donnie and John. Carving was an art. The picture of grandfather working on a link chain brought back memories of my grandfather. Out of a long piece of wood, when he was young, he made a convict with a ball and chain. I still have it. Love the dancing man. The shot guns are just beautiful. I think the people of Appalachia were incredibly talented, self reliant. If they wanted something, they made it themselves. Wish they passed their skills on. I want to hear more about Cades Cove, please.

Oh Donnie! Thank you so very much for talking with John and seeing all the homemade items he & his grandfather whittled. I remember sometimes seeing my Daddy sit and whittle, but I think he just did it to help him think things out sometimes. I absolutely loved seeing these magnificent homemade items! I love the dancing man!! Blessings always! 🙏❤️😊

Welcome Donnie from Maryville, TN, my life has been spent here. I still have my great-grandfather's old Barlow pocketknife. It's one of my prize possessions. I still love him and miss him terribly; he passed when I was 14, but I know I'll see him again, thanks to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I owe both he and my great grandmother for leading me to Christ. This episode brought back a lot of old memories, Thank You.

Christmas for us was always full of homemade surprises! My grandmother used to make us knitted hats, gloves and booties but my granddaddy always carved us something. My most favorite gift from him was a carved jewelry box that I still have. Thank you Mr. Donnie for reminding me of the memories. God bless you!

I grew up playing with a dancing man. Hand made from someone in our family. We truly need to keep these traditions and stories alive.
