i'm pretty contrasted about the video…on one hand i'm absolutely awed by your work, the look of it and its feeling.on the other hand i keep thinking it doesn't make much sense and keep asking myself questions like "why isn't he using this, or that? it would make the work much easier".anyway, the video is a fascinating work.
An excellent video Robin, thanks for making it and sharing your craft. I now have an urge to build myself a pole lathe!! (and forge myself some hook tools!)
You are an inspiration for me. With everything that one does there are positives and negatives. I work in finance – creating something from nothing. Increasingly I find it leaves me feeling shallow and empty.. What you do is creating something real and useful. You do it by hand for the good of your fellow man. I wouldnlove.to do what you do but I am not brave enough. I hope that you are able to keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing your video.
I came close to crying watching this. Particularly when you described your kids understanding what you do. As you say, I find it hard to describe what I do. My son says I “fix people’s computers”. I’m a country boy stuck in a technological age and my mental and physical health are suffering for it.
Watching this has fed my desire to find a way out of it and get back to the country and a life of making.
Fantastic! Congratulations on what you do, Robin, and also to the makers of this film.
Very nicely done. Captures your work very well. Congrats. PF
