    My name is Erik Wesner and I'm not Amish. Back in 2004, I met the Amish while selling books. Since then, I've visited 5,000+ Amish homes & dozens of Amish communities. My book on Amish business, Success Made Simple: An Inside Look at Why Amish Businesses Thrive, was published in 2010. I run the Amish America website: amishamerica.com/

    I feel so fortunate to live near the Amish community that is in and around Windsor, MO. We are slowly getting to know these people, and your videos do help.

      @@AmishAmerica Thank you, sir. I have one little tidbit to quickly share, concerning "dressing modestly" in the presence of the Amish. You see, I am a dedicated cyclist, and I love riding the quiet, unpaved roads in our Amish community. I have never seen an Amish grownup bicycling here, but the kids do. However, because I am a welcome(non-motorized) sight on the road, and my wife and I constantly patronize their businesses, they honestly, now that they know me, do not seem taken aback when I show up in full cycling regalia at their stores. That is, spandex shorts, brightly colored clothing for visibility, etc. Heck, they even call me from their community phone booth if they have, say, slaughtered, and are holding meat for me. So, I feel that they may be more amused than offended by my "weird" attire, which in truth is neither Amish or English(I get weirder stares at the convenience mart!). And again, thank you for your wonderful channel!

    As an amateur woodworker since i retired 12 years ago, i can say that the price sheet you showed has selling prices that barely cover material costs. Amazing.

    $100 for a beautiful fully hand-built Amish Adirondack chair...? 😲
    That is a wonderful price! I've said this before - you pay nearly the same for a thin flimsy factory-made pile of imported toothpicks. And the furniture is not very comfortable to sit upon too. Buy Amish, if you possibly can :)

      How I wish they could ship this fantastic woodwork to the UK. I figure even with shipping costs I’d be getting such quality at a huge discount.

    Beautiful furniture! Nice to see and hear of someone who really knows what they're talking about and who owns their own independent business! Shame theres not many independent businesses like that in the UK! Reasonable prices too, wouldn't mind paying prices like those for a good quality bit of furniture personally

    I knew exactly where Enos was from as soon as I heard him speak. That slow drawn out "Rulfurd" (Rutherford) county accent is dying out unfortunately.

    I just love these videos, Enos sounds like a nice easy going guy and the quality of his work is awesome. Wish I lived close enough to purchase some of his lawn furniture, the swinging bed/couch looks amazing, it would be awesome on a nice summer screened in porch. Thanks for sharing the time with us Erik.

    Enos might be the slowest speaking person I've ever heard! Is that common for Shwarzentruber Amish? The plainer, the slower? Probably just a North Carolina rural thing though lol

    • @AmishAmerica
      @AmishAmerica  Год назад +1

      He doesn't as far as I know. I knew someone there making custom furniture but he moved away. There is at least another woodworking shop, a the time I met him I think he was making mostly rockers (I did a video on this one ruclips.net/video/4hGVpLIXwvY/видео.html )
