John Neeman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wished to share with you a short documentary movie about our work. To understand more our way of thinking/philosophy - there is a quote: "It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."

Jerry W. Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 John, I agree. I have been a public servant here for going on 33 years. It continues to amaze me that so many people are unwilling and unable to take care of themselves. That was a great video. Makes me want to get out there and fire up the forge. Thanks, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfootnampa Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I enjoyed the video John! I would suggest that you try working your drawknife bevel down though. I use mine that way at least 95 per cent of the time. It gives you much better control of the cut depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McCoy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Your work, like the background music in your video, is lyrical. When seen at an unhurried pace a craftsmans skill has a certain music to it ... timeless and mystical it touches us all deeply.
