In all honesty, I'm surprised at how low the prices are on his website, although they're still high enough I'd never buy them.

very cool videos and amazing craftsmanship.. I agree about the axe fetish too.. the music made me want to go sit in the car in the garage with the engine running though

I was expecting much higher prices after watching the videos.

What I love is that you can see this guy keeps investing back into his business. He's not out

dicking around with hookers and blow or buying speedboats.

He buys more equipment for his business.

Too, he's running everything from a bellows to a marking LASER.....he uses technology where it benefits him and hand making where it benefits him....

This is the quintessential man, in my opinion.

I so want to learn how to do that. Took a blacksmithing class in college, always think about making a propane forge to screw around with some knives.

I found myself mesmerized by both videos. Thanks OP!

I'm going to watch the first one again

Not many lives I envy in this world... This mans life I would kill for.

Absolutely one of the best videos I have seen in a long while.

Thanks for sharing.
