Good spot. I’ll catch up on iPlayer.

Watching it now. I loved the way the steel was twisted and twisted.

Missed the start, will watch it later. just remember, not everything hand made is good.

Good stuff…

Just need to watch half an hour of Ray Mears now sharpening it with his Japanese water stones and my bank holiday is complete.

I just hope his website is not as slow as his knife making process … very slooooooowwww … 😯

Very nice looking knives he got there … but website soooooo sloooowww.

Those knives look like Chinese pig stabbing knives. Really.

Brilliant programmes. I hope we get more like them.

How about cynic-al adjusting a threaded headset?

Would imagine his site is getting fair bit of traffic right now.
Good film.

I think £425 for that much work is pretty good.

Ya, pounding with hammer is for the tv programme I guess to show his skills …

He should have used his green hammer machine (sitting outside in the yard) instead because that’s what it is for 🙄 … pounding with hand takes ages and does not really lower the cost. 😛

Thought the Glass episode was the most intense. The quantity of skill in the hands Michael Ruh. amazing.
(World’s worst legs tho’)

Liked the stuff they were making but hated the camera work… Bit too artsy for me… 😉

Eyes down look in, for chair making.
