Making "The Love Harp" As A Gift For My Girlfriend

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- My girlfriend has been playing the harp for a while now but the one she has is quite large and a pain to move around, one day we were talking and i said "i bet i could make one of them" anyway an hour later we were at a friends house getting some local oak to make it with.
It took me about 200 hours to make and i named it the love harp. when i gave this to my girlfriend it was the first time i told her i loved her and this was my way of expressing that.
Turn on Subtitles for more information about how i made the harp.

I've been on RUclips since the day it started, and this is legitimately one of the best things I've seen another human do for another here. What a great thing to have put your energy into for another. Really inspiring.
Your love is True..your Heart speaks from within...
What a Beautiful gift. . .
May your Hands...continue to bring forth...Love, Kindness & Joy !
Much Happiness !
GOD Bless you both always.
@Marie Garcia….that comment brought tears to my eyes….x So true….
He is my uncle
@@livvy7465 You are blessed sweety, for having such an evolved human for an uncle.
@@mariegarcia1317 what lovely comments you made to Kris x
I am so impressed with your never-ending capabilities! I can imagine how proud you must feel, knowing that you can make such a beautiful instrument.
Your girlfriend was blushing with such happiness. You can see how proud she is, of the man that made her such a beautiful gift.
🌱
OMG, tears when I read your description!. What a beautiful gesture and moment it must have been. :)
So beautiful it makes me cry. Thank you for sharing your work and your passions. Wishing you both lots of love, warmth, and happiness on your journey together.
'And beauty is a form of genius, is higher indeed than genius as it needs no explanation.'. All of this is pure beauty in all colours, the full spectrum of harmony. Peace and love to you. m
It sure beats the plastic loo seat my hubby bought me!!!! Since watching this I bought him a wood turning lathe…..things are looking up. You are very talented.
Beautiful instrument. Beautiful playing. Beautiful Welsh accent :)
Outdone yourself there Kris, spectacular craftsmanship.
Wow, Chris, there would be a massive demand for harps like that over here in Ireland. So cool, well done.
Kris you are an absolute Angel 😇✨😇
Incredible.
Wow!!
Damn! You are making it tough on the rest of us men Kris!
Seriously- Well done sir.
Well done.
Bought mine a pink Porsche and some expensive jewellery.
Now i just need to get the rest of the Barbie set xD
Whats he got that we ain't got?
Answer: A weapon!
Sorry car, bike and HiFi guys!
I feel nowadays we all have become extremely lazy, due to not challenging oneself. Yes, he has definitely set the bar up.
🌱😊
@@thatdutchguy2882 LOL
This is seriously the most romantic thing ever. 😍
That is an absolutely stunning harp, and beautifully made. Hard to believe it was your first harp and just made on a whim like that. Very romantic too, Dot's a lucky lady!
You a lovely couple, and your kitty is also a love
Love is about intent, motive, patience, tolerance, compassion happiness and joy. I have just watched you display all those kindred qualities in abundance. I am crying happy tears for you both. Please look after each other like this for the rest of your days. Truly... A beautiful work of craftsmanship, art and love. 💞
Well said.
And there was me thinking you could only build houses, workshops, hydroelectric turbines, thermo siphons, composting toilets, apple shredders and limestone kilns! Genuinely awesome build mate well done!
Now there's an artisan at work. 200 hours is awesome for a build like this. Your hands on approach of whatever crosses your path is truly inspiring!
You fear no challenge, do you..
Oh crikey, you're making us look bad now. My girlfriend is watching this with me and giving that, not quite living up to Kris, look.
😂💖 Creased.... How can mere mortals live up to this. A harp is involved!!! Touch of the Angels methinks! Thanks for making me have a good giggle. Much love to you and your lady. X
Is she giving you the ‘side eye, judging/no expression’ look on her face? I feel for you.....
@@moiragoldsmith7052 Seriously... I'm not showing this to my girl. Im not worthy!!! lol
@@maxeyac Wrong time of year Kevin....hide the video! Hoping you and your lady have a lovely week. 😊 x
Haha all you're comments are so funny 😂
I bought my wife a old motorcycle and spent a winter restoring it for her............does that count for anything ! .....because right now I’m
feeling a little incapable !
Ofcourse it does ,your a keeper for doing that in my book
You. Are. Just. As. Amazing.😁
Having had to crawl under my car to change the oil in my old car while six months pregnant because my husband said he didn't feel like doing it I would say yes, you ARE a keeper! U R A 🦌
@@maryblaylock6545 Hi Mary.....Thank You, .....is he still around ?!
Good for you. I had an old motorcycle that I had to sell. My boyfriend wasn't as helpful as you. You're a keep Nick. Hope she does same in kind.
Can not believe someone would give a thumbs down to this amazing effort. Well done Kris. What wonderful gift to give. Blessings on you.
Its jealousy. I mean who wouldnt want this!
That's men!!!!!
I cannot think of a better and more beautiful way of saying "I love you" than to built something so personal and I hope Dot gets many hours of pleasure.
And many hours of playing the harp. Sorry. Saw the laugh, went for it.
The love harp was an amazing project. I particularly liked the improvised lathe! I also enjoyed the balance between hand tools, power tool and bench tools. The videography was excellent.
Wow, what an extremely awesome and beautiful act of love. Wonderful job.
That is a beautiful gesture! I can only imagine how satisfied you must have been watching her play what you created.
Oh wow, love this from start to finish , you clever, soppy , big-hearted, handy genius ! And how amazing is the happy Harriet ? She even made the harp funky !
Amazing, both the dedication, love and support you offer each other. The cherry on the top was listening to this beautiful recital played on the very harp you made. Perfect mate, just perfect.
Wow!!! What women would not love a handmade gift from her man? REALLY beautiful gift and gesture (she plays beautifully by the way. brings tears to my eyes!)!!! Well done!
You, Sir, are truly amazing - So young, but have accomplished so much in that time - Thank you ever so much for sharing your abilities with the world -
And I thought the hydro electricity was pretty heroic, you just keep surpassing yourself.
Very well put together video , Fantastic music throughout Harriet !!. What a stunning piece of musical he-art you have made Kris !!! Absolutely amazing.. dots playing was brilliant !!! . Amazing absolutely amazing..
I've recently stumbled upon your channel as I'm saving up to begin a OFF GRID life soon. This was my third vlog I've seen, and this is by far your most wonderful vlog yet! Kris, your woodworking skills are IMPRESSIVE! Absolutely, a BEAUTIFUL labor of LOVE. Your girlfriend is so blessed. 💗✝️💗
kris, you are an amazing person.
Harp is one of my favorite instruments, the sound is magical and so romantic.
Thanks for this little concert.
Wish you and Dot all the best.
Your labor of love brought tears to my eyes. You are amazing with very skilled hands brought on by your passion for life. Just found your channel and have been binge watching.
You soppy Bastard!! 😉...im not really sure why you would give your GF an object capable of blunt force trauma but hey each to his own...well done!!
As for Harriet playing for 32 years?, she only looks about 25....must be all that Welsh air !!
😄😀😀
I was pretty sure i'd watched all your videos! and now this. You made me cry! He's a keeper Dot! I'm a sculptor of willow withies and this was a work of art and love. I'm creating an offgrid eco-art retreat in Puglia you and Dot would be honoured guests! if you ever feel like a change of paradise! Thank you for all your hard work and inspiring videos, they have been such an inspiration to me X
Harriet knows her business. And to you sir, I take off my hat.
I've got to say that I've followed you for quite a while. I've enjoyed your turbine, and wind generator videos. I've followed your incredible builds. Never, have I ever, seen something as cool as this build. Never, ever, had a build video led to tears. Every single minute of this video was perfectly "organic" and I NEVER use that word. Awesome build. Beautiful music from two incredible ladies, on an instrument hand built by a very impressive guy. Serious accolades from Texas. PS...Love the haircut...
Thank you Brad. very kind of you. :)
I think this just became my favourite video of yours. Love harp and violin music. You sir are a true gentleman well done
So, I just fell in love with Harriet! Her obvious joy while playing, affected me enormously.
Where else can u go to see a beautiful harp made before your eyes and then followed with a concert so full of grace. Completely bowled over by it all. Beats any TV program that I can recall. Thank you, thank you.
Great work Kris. Much more meaningful than spending way too much money on jewelry.
She’s brilliant on that harp too
Oh! What a wonderful Labour of Love, Kris! It turned out beautifully. And thank you so much for introducing us to Harriet Earis. I'll be ordering some of her albums soon.
By the way, don't wait so long to tell Dot you love her again. 😉 It is a declaration that bears repeating. Don't be like the farmer who said, "I told my wife I love her when we wed, and I'll let her know if anything changes."
Dog gone it, Chris I've been watching your hydro turbine power plant that you made on your property I'm very impressed but when I came across this video it blew me away UC I'm from America and I enjoy old school R&B and classic soul and smooth jazz music.What I heard, was absolutely beautiful. I'm going to pass this video to my Lady friend Coca, who loves harp music. This video was awesome. I saw that there were 31 people who didn't like this video, how crazy. This video was awesome, and I enjoyed every minute of it, the rest of the comments that were wrote on this channel was excellent, right on. You are a very gifted and talented young man. Thank you for sharing this on your RUclips channel. DJ Robbie Out. PS. I Love you work Mann, Great content.
WOW! I thought the craftsmanship was impressive alone but the harp sounds beautiful too - to have built this as a first build just on a whim it is of the quality one would expect of an experienced harp builder! Well done!
My goodnes! You are a genius Kris... you can do anything for "the first time" and do it right! This was such a precious gift for Dot, so meaningful. Both of you are artists! Love to watch you working... everything you do is beautiful!
Kris I have been watching your videos for a while now. Your woodworking skills are extremely admirable. Your attention to detail in this video deserves a round of applause as well. The music is very relaxing. All around good video. 👍
Top Marks. The sound is very nice to the ear,, You are a True Craftsman.. Peace
That's a beautiful handmade heart and it sounds very romantic and soothing! I could see Dot playing it by the wood stove or outside by a stream. It looks like your life is coming together very well for the three of you. Stay healthy and happy!
Kris... you always seem to amaze me... you are going places my friend... keep up the good content and that girl happy... she's a hard worker and looks like your best friend... from across the pond...john
Wow, that’s the most amazingly romantic gift that took you weeks and weeks to make. It’s utterly stunning. Your older videos keep popping up and I love them. You’ve inspired me to use the granite blocks we have from a fallen down derelict barn to build a flower bed wall. I love your thriftiness and way you don’t waste anything.
Beautiful the sheer love that's gone into making such an Elegant Harp I didn't want the lovely music to stop 31years playing the Harp well I don't think I've got that long left on Earth seeing as I've turned 60 and have only just started to learn to play the Lyre Harp but God bless you for sharing such a joyful sound I could see by the expression on the ladies face just how much she loves to play the Harp
That was just awesome Kris from start to finish. You have always amazed me when we lived next door to each other and so happy for the life you have created for yourself in Wales.
You Sir, bears the heart of a great man and a kind beautiful soul. What I just watched was one of the most beautiful displays of love and healing I have seen. Thank you for sharing this. Look after each other as what you two share is sacred and pure. Greetings from South Africa.
I think the Harp is absolutely stunning and made with the love you have for her. The sound that it produced was just incredible and to a former musician it took me away from my day to day issues to a place of peace and solitude. Thank you for make such a beautiful instrument.
Wow! It’s beautiful, and a truly fabulous video to watch. Harriet’s playing was amazing, Dot is fortunate for a wonderful teacher and a beautiful bespoke instrument. Your talents are only exceeded by you lovingkindness. Such a touching gift from a sincere heart, Love Harp indeed! ❤️
It's not often I comment on such things. However It dawned on me that only his hands could make such a beautiful harp, and it was only because of her that his heart put such magic into the soul of the wood creating such workmanship...
You are truly a versatile guy Kris spanning from instrument maker to lumber jack! I am amazed!
I have been watching your videos for a while now and in particular I like the way you advocate for build, make and mend above purchase, break it and buy again. What you don’t have in resources you make up for in resourcefulness. Great 👍
...... 🎶 👋🏼 🎶 👋🏼 🎶 .......
WOW DAMN KRIS,
WHAT LOVING & THOUGHTFUL GIFT...
GREAT STEP by STEP VIDEO HERE.
YOUR CRAFTSMANSHIP HERE WAS
NOTHING LESS THEN (TOP-NOTCH) 👌🏼
AND TO THINK 🤔 ....
THAT (BEAUTIFUL HARP) CAME OUT OF
[ YOUR LiL WORK SHOP ] DUDE ! ....

FACTORY & by A (CNC MACHINE) ....

WELL DONE THERE KRIS 👏🏼 ......
( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Kris Harbour....
Astonishing !!! You are truly a remarkable man !!! Everything you touch turns to gold. She plays so well. Would love to have seen her face when you gave her this. She is so happy playing.
Wow Kris that is a stunning piece of work and to see it so beautifully played showing that it is not just to be looked at, top job.
Outstanding job, Kris! Pure joy watching the whole process. Harriet performance was just beautiful. Your girlfriend plays very well too. Those harp lessons seem to really pay off.
You give so much to people who give so little to you.
Do you know him personally? So rude.
And there is me getting brownie points for making my girl a cup of tea 😂
Just joined your channel and so glad I did ,truly amazing .respect
Very nice ,nicely made with heart felt sentiment, and beautiful calming music through out , and with practice Dot , will shine ,.
I was amazed with some of your previous videos because of your skills that were so intelligently
displayed for the viewer but I have to say that this video is by far one of your very best !!!
It showcases your basic understanding of natural things that the modern brain has apparently
overlooked. You can take any piece of discarded rubbish and turn it into something that is useful .....
and quite unique yet astoundingly beautiful. A skill that most others cannot accomplish in today's
world.
The harp you created in this video came from your soul and therefore the Purplewood hearts are
very appropriate and special to this new creation. I thank you for letting me watch all the steps
you went through from start to the finished piece of artwork. And so with much respect I lay my
hat at your feet sir. Me southern AZ.
If You want more information on how this was built click on the CC and there are descriptions in the subtitles.
Congrats on the happiness Kris. Great piece of woodwork too:-)>
Simply Beautiful.... 😳🥰🙏🏻💋
Fantastic!! What an amazing gesture! You are such a special person, Kris. Dot is really a lucky lady!
Best regards for you two from Portugal 😃
Thanks for this Kris. I bought plans years ago for building a harp, but never got round to making it. My daughter plays and I'd thought that it would make such a great personal gift. This video is an inspiration, thanks
This is such an awesome video I had to come watch it again. Such loving workmanship.
Is there nothing you can do. Amazing and beautiful. What a way to secure a girls heart.
WOW! Such a beautiful loving gesture! She looks ecstatic! This warms my heart. You are both so beautiful! Thank you for sharing a piece of your love with us all 💕
The smile on her face throughout, says it all. Absolutely well done.
Awesome job on a beautiful instrument, the music that came off it was sublime. You are a man of many talents and deserves all the joys that come with it.
Bravo Kris, Bravo !! As much as I enjoy your homestead videos this one may be may favorite. Phenomenal.
Im welling up with tears, how beautiful a gift to say I love you. A long life and happiness to you both. x
Giving is the greatest gift. Thank you for doing so!
The harp is beautiful and built with loving care and patience. What a gift you have. It’s amazing what you have built and how your improvements to property are great to see. I like your cat so gentle.
Greetings from Florida, USA. Y'all are a mystical loving couple. Giving your lady a handmade one of a kind harp has to be one of the most loving things I have seen. God bless you both.
Very beautiful, the playing and the harp.
I'll also add, you fix up nice.
This is on a loop as I browse the internet.
Thank you both for sharing.
I know this is an old video, but my husband and I watched this last night on Valentines Day, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. What a true labor of love.
Wow, just the perfect video. Amazing build and beautiful music. I have never thought much of the harp until now.
AVE shirt spotted.
Thanks for sharing! What a sweet, thoughtful, kind, generous gift! God bless y'all!!!
You have so much work to do on your own property, but you still find time to do something fabulous and beautiful for your girlfriend. She has to be worth it for you to do such beautiful work! I think you two deserve each other, take care of her and she will take care of you. I think this is one of your best videos ever! Very relaxing watching you work like that and the music is fabulous
OMGOODNESS! You never cease to amaze us! Excellent job! So beautiful. And the music too. Throughly enjoyed this. Dot is so lovely and plays so beautifully herself. You both are fortunate to have found one another. Blessings...
amazing. a gift made from the heart.
What a precious gift,,,,your love AND your care! Treasures, both, to be cherished forever! Blessings to you both!
Waouh, Sir Kris I'll kneel before you with admiration for this beautiful gift of love for Maid Dot ❤
Bravo to Harriet.
Well done Kris! The music is beautiful.
This is great. Love to see so many artists doing true art on RUclips. Great job to all from the woodcraftsman to the harpists....two types of artists who can't do it without one another.
Lovely concert!!! The sound of the Love Harp is so beautiful! Loved it!!!
You do farming , you do hydro electric , welding, wind turbine , wood milling , carving and joinery , bricklaying and stonemason skills , house building and now your a skilled musical instrument maker ? Kris , ffs take a day off man and just chill scratching your arse and contemplating your navel 😅 your putting the rest of us to shame 😆
Good bless ye man , your a credit to yourself and ty for inviting us in for a glimpse of the “ Good Life “… much appreciated bro .

Tears of happiness, admiration and love.
This is the Most Wonderfully Beautiful video I have EVER seen . So much inside..talent, skill, love, lovely music, happiness, serenity, etc, etc / This UTube producer coming across my path is proof that God surely loves me .
You sir are an amazing person. Dot must know what an awesome and skilled craftsman you are. I came across your vlog just a couple of days ago and I get amazed with your never-ending talents. I am a wood worker, mechanic, electrician, plumber, and all around handyman. You Kris are far beyond my capabilities. I have been watching your videos daily since I saw the latest wind turbine. Cheers from Southeastern North Carolina.
Well Done Kris what a Amazing gift 🎁 & then to have someone play for her Your the Man! This was one H%ll Of a Gift! 👏🏻👏🏻🤩
