    @angeloc38425 months ago This country need more of these craftsmen. If we want to survive the next 300 yrs
  • @
    @drk321last year People that create things from their hands are superior. This is a human endeavor. Not someone typing on a keyboard or following the stock market. When everything caves in and collapses, craftsmen/women will have skills which are useful. Hunt, build, grow, create will win over code, blog, vlog, trade, buy, sell. ... 3
  • @

    @downtoearthconstruction776811 months ago One I don’t see too often is a bricktop. Sort of like a teardrop but more square. Could you do a demonstration in the future pal.
  • @
    @rwfwcfii439last year Great craftsmanship. If it’s tremendously technical it shouldn’t require “feel,” just following the specs. You’re more artist than technician!
  • @
    @maddoxswann9760last year Great hats. Love the craftsmanship and the pride you take in your work, but why did you say “approximately 48% of my time.” Sounds like you know exactly how much time. Love your videos.
