Making a 1890's Homemade Sage Brush Broom 

Mr Brown, please don’t feel like you have to apologize for your filming or anything else! You and Miss Lori are amazing people that touch so many hearts and have the ability to teach the old ways that the younger people so need to learn and us olders need to see again. It brings back memories and makes me want to continue on my quest to keep the old ways alive. God bless you both and I hope you have a great weekend. 👩‍🌾💚 🧹

I'm 62 and my husband is 64. We love learning new things. Keep on teaching and we'll be watching and learning.

Mr Brown my grandpa passed away in early 1959 just after my 15th birthday. We all lived on the farm back then and watching what you did today brought my childhood back. Thank you so much for renewing Pleasant old memories

Enjoyed every single minute Mr. Brown! Listening to the birds sing and how peaceful and tranquil it is on the homestead. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next video!

What a great history of our ancestors and perfect tutorial. Thank you, Mr. Brown.

It's really disappointing you don't have 10,000 subscribers by now. People are honestly sleeping on this channel. I love your videos. Just wanted to say your content is very much appreciated.

Thanks Mr Brown! Honestly, I will say, I'm grateful for every bit of knowledge that comes my way. Every bit! ❤

Thank you Mr.Brown for sharing everything.God bless you

You're family is truly blessed to have you, Mr, Brown. Thank you for another great video!

Thank you Mr. Brown for showing us this.

Thank you so much Mr. Brown for sharing this video with us. You and Ms. Lori are excellent teachers. This skill and many others have been lost. Please continue your videos. God Bless

I have a couple of straw brooms that my precious grandmother made for me that are at least 50 years old. She also gathered sticks and made a rake to clean the yard. She lived in sandy land and it was so pretty when she finished raking her yard.

Thank you for making time for us today, you and Miss Lori are so kind for sharing your gifts with us. I love hearing about the old ways. God bless you both until next time.

Great video, thank you Mr. Brown, your a good teacher!

Love these tidbits from the past.

That was Awesome!!!!! I have never seen anything like that!!!! Thank you for that!!!! I am going on 71 years old. Never saw anything like that!! How cool!!!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 What a blessing to have Mr. Brown teach us all something 🥰 Love 💕 his southern accent! Thank You for starting and sharing your new channel with all of us (Love listening to all the outdoor birds and sounds in your neighborhood) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Loved the demo. Always wanted to see old brooms. Thank you !!

A man of many talents! Thanks Mr Brown for teaching us. Blessings to you and ms Lori 🙏

Thank you Mr. Brown for this wonderful video!!! I think the broom you made is awesome!!! I bet you could sell them!!!

Truly enjoyed watching you make this broom. Thank you

Thank you so very much for the opportunity to learn something new! ❤

I love and enjoy all your videos. I love and enjoy Ms Lori's too. I watch em all. I love fishin and all of it. Take care and God Bless y'all always

Very interesting Mr Brown. Loved watching you make the broom. Also loved listening to the blue birds sing in the background. 🥰

Nice vid, Mr. Brown! Much love and prayers to your beautiful wife and you, sir.

Love the making of the broom !! Enjoyed seeing you teach us.. Keep them coming.. Thank you and God Bless y'all ❤️... Love the video..

What a wonderful topic for a video! I love learning the old methods of making and doing things as it makes me feel closer to my ancestors and the lives that they lived. I have seen handmade brooms and pot scrubbers (and cake testers) many years ago in a catalog but raising young children at the time didn't leave money in the budget for such a luxury. Now you have me thinking I could make one of my own once I locate the materials. I'd love to find some sage brush on my parent's old farm that was sold when they passed on. I know it would tickle my dad to think I could do this. Going to check in with the new owners next trip north. Thank you for the inspiration and the visit. I've enjoyed your video immensely. May the Lord continue to bless you and Miss Lori with good health and weather.

I have some of this growing on my property. I’m gonna make me a broom. Thanks so much for this video showing the old ways. Love it. Love ya Mr. Brown!

Mr Brown that was very interesting and very informative!!! Thank you so very much for sharing it with us!!! My Grandma and Grandpa used to make them when they were young!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Hello Mr. Brown... thank you for your time and guidance on such a wonderful skill. And you filming skills are just fine... we’re seeing what we need to see.

Thank you for sharing this. My granny used to have us 7 kids gather the broom sage and she made the brooms. She never taught us how they were made so this was very informative to me. I am 75 and just learned how to make the broom. Lol. Thank you. I think you and Miss Lori are a handsome couple

In love learning about the old ways. Thank you

Thank you so much. I came upon this video while looking for something else, but sure don't you find the stuff you need. I'm a writer. I've been working on a story with a man named Daniel. It's set in the late 1870s in South Dakota. Already wrote a bunch of it, but none of it's ever going to see the light of day. This is the time I'm getting to know him and his people. I'm sure they needed to sweep, and knowing how to make them a broom is thanks to you.

Nice broom and pot scrubber Mr. Brown, keep the great videos comin, Thanks.

PA Briwn it was wonderful watching you make the sage brush broom and pot scrubber. God bless!

Request please: When it comes time I would love for you to show us how you plant and grow your potatoes. Thank you so much! 🧡

Keep ‘‘em coming Mr. Brown! Loved this video! You are a great teacher. Love and blessings to you and Ms. Lori. 🧡🙏🏼🧡

You're making so much sense about tieing it twice for strength

I will watch as many videos as you can make on this kind of content. Loved it! GOD bless

I Love the looks of your Broom, Mr. Brown, Neat!

Very relaxing video! Thank you, Mr. Brown!🙏🇨🇦

THANK YOU for taking the time to show us how to make a sage brush broom! That is fantastic!! That cute little primitive broom has got to be right up Miss Lori's isle!! God Bless

It was fun watching you make the broom and pot scraper. Always interesting to see how things are made

Thanks for showing us more ways to be resourceful! Enjoy your intro, too! Have a great weekend, guys! 😊

Thank you Mr. Brown for sharing the old skills that kept this country growing. Always useful!

Just like the broom, the video doesn't have to be pretty to work. We get to visit with you and learn something. Thank you, Mr. Brown.

I'm really enjoying your new channel Mr. Brown. I love watching you and Mrs. Lori

Very interesting, would love to see more of this . Thank you

Wow!! That’s such a great intro. Thank you for sharing this skill. How resourceful people were back then.

I absolutely love this video!! Your doing great, love the broom sage!! So so beautiful and well done!!Tell miss Lori I said hi!! Keep up the great videos until next time!!

Mr Brown, I am enjoying your channel. From the opening music, until the end, you are sharing your knowledge and keeping it real. Looking forward to more. God bless ♥️

That was a great demonstration of making a broom. We sure take the simplest of things for granted. I have a knew appreciation of buying a broom and a pot scrubber at the dollar store. It definitely makes sense to prepare for hard times. God bless you and Miss Lori.

My grandmother never owned a store bought broom. She made broom sage brooms very similar to this. When first made they were longer and fuller than this one. She may have trimmed the sweeping end somewhat, but she just held the bundle and thumped the cut end on a flat surface to get them all lined up. She ran her string all the way from the cut end where she started for about 12 inches or so and tied it off only once. No loop for hanging because the broom stood in a corner of the back porch or behind the kitchen door when not in use. She would use one until it got too short and small on the end to sweep well and then make a new one. I tried hard but could never make one as neat and tightly tied as she did. She also used the same method to make a broom from slender tree or bush limbs to sweep the back yard. It sounds ungainly but was very effective at raking the bare dirt. Her yard was as clean and neat as her house. I sorely miss my Granny.

Thank you, Mr. Brown. I loved watching and listening to your wisdom. Gosh, those skills are still needed. Karla in Cali.

Look at that. Works like a charm and it’s free too !! Live to make one as soon as I find some sage grass. Thankyou Mr Brown for doing what you do

LOVE THIS..THANKS I'M 64 AND I REMEMBER MY MOM USING BROOMS LIKE THAT TO SWEEP INSIDE THE HOUSE AND SHE HAD ONE SHE SWEEP THE YARD WITH...GOOD TIMES😊

Love all the old school ways!!! Keep up the great work and glad you are teaching us here on RU-vid!!! Thank y’all

So awesome to be out there with you! Looking forward to learning some “new” skills. Thank you and God Bless you❤

Very interesting. It's not as easy as going to WalMart, but it's good knowing the techniques of our ancestors. Thanks, Mr. Brown.

You better watch out...Ms Lori's going to have you sweeping EVERYTHING 😂 Great video Mr Brown!! God bless you !

Mr Brown that was the coolest video ever thank you for sharing that. Stay safe y'all

The old ways are dedicated to mankind, beautiful to see!

Nice skill to have Mr Brown! ❤ Thanks for the video. 😃

That was so awesome! I can't wait to try to make a broom myself!

Hello Mr. Brown, you are one of the sweetest men I know. I love your videos. You have a lot to share and you seem to enjoy it all. I’m watching you and it’s like watching and listening to my dad. He was only 58 years old when he passed and that was 40 years ago on Monday 2-19 2024. I’m 73 and I miss him so much, but I listen to you and it seems like I’m right back there with him. I pray God keeps on blessing you, Miss Lori, and your channel. You are so precious🥰.

Enjoyed this, Mr. Brown. Just listening to the sounds of nature made the video even better. Thank you ❤

you show the videos---i'll watch them!!!!! i also hope we don't need to revert to the "old ways" but they're not bad ways, so if need be, we will do it, and do it well, thanks to your teachings!!!! i enjoy watching your videos so far and will continue. God's blessings continue for you and Ms. Lori.

wow, loved learning from you Mr. Brown, thank you!

Thank you for making this broom. I always wondered how that was done

Thank you Mr. Brown for showing us how to make a brush broom. Fascinating but does look like quite a bit of 'work' to tie it all together. Yes, I could see the bit of what looked like 'fluff' coming off the broom end when you 'beat' it. And the pot scrubber was an added bonus! It was so relaxing sitting out with you in the sun and watching you make these items while listening to the birds singing and chirping in background. Really enjoyed this video. Blessing to you & Ms. Lori from the west coast of Canada.

Hey Mr Brown, now that you've made an ol timey broom ,you can gift it to Miss Lori and say ...now that I'm making brooms ,no more spending money for them🤣! I believe you have done a fine job making and teaching us how to make a Broom✔️. Hi too Mrs Lori👋 🤗😘 thanks. JO JO IN VT 💞

Loved the video today. Saw number of brooms that looked like the one you made when we visited China. So many skills have been lost over time. Hi to ms Lori ❤

Thank you Mr. Brown for sharing this. I always wanted to know how to make things the old way.

Thanks Pa Brown , enjoyed this alot 😊

I really enjoyed this video! It’s always good to learn new things we can do from the nature around us. Thank you for teaching!

My family has that grass growing in their pasture. I think I will try my hands at this. Thank you, I like those boots 😊

That was great! Thank you! Anything else you got up your sleeve to show us in case we find ourselves off the grid, would be mighty helpful.

I think it’s so wonderful that you decided to make videos. Now you are passing on the knowledge and skills that you’ve been taught. Now I know how to make a broom and I thank you for that. God Bless

Thank you Mr. Brown. Your video was great! Can’t wait to see more of the old ways. Never had a dad or grandfather and although I am 54 I still love to learn things of the past!

Love the intro and your wisdom. Great job on your videos! I look forward to them.

That was very interesting. I remember my grandmother making blooms too sweep around her old pop bullied stove.

Thank you,Mr. Brown,that was interesting and educational. It's cold today in KY,just got in from picking up family at work. It's been sleeting here,it started as rain,forecast to get about 3 inches here in the bluegrass region. God bless you and Lori and have a wonderful evening.

I loved watching this. So fun to learn this technique of the past. Thank you Mr. Brown. God bless!

Thank you for the tutorial; you’re a great teacher, Mr. Brown!

Thats awesome! Going to make me one for my porch. Good job Mr. Brown

Love this!! 👍👏👏😃 Teach us another old way of doing things !! God Bless you 😃❤️

Mr Brown I think you are doing an awesome job filming.love that broom .thank you for showing us how it's done.God Bless ❤

Love the old ways when life was simple and had time for each other and people worked to keep family together instead of throwing them away God bless ya and your beautiful family

Thank you for sharing how to make a broom! I love listening to you and your wife.

Hi Mr. Brown, I love your videos. Never apologize, because you are learning and trying to make me hear videos. I bet you could sell that set to people who have no access to sage brush. I grew up calling it sage brush. We didn't have enough to make a broom out of. Keep bringing the videos. Hugs to you and Miss Lori.

Your filming is fine, you make an awesome teacher. Thank you for a refresher from my childhood

My grandma used to help his uncle make brooms to sell ❤

I enjoyed watching this, Mr Brown! Love the old ways. It's a dying art! Thank you for sharing 😊

I love this content! Keep teaching us!

I love the new useful tools you made. Maybe Miss Lori will too!

Thanks for sharing. Amazing watching you make a broom.

Thank you sir. I like learning new stuff

A Really NEAT BROOM, Mr. Brown!
