For some bizarre reason that website you linked me to made the film clip judder as it was shown, however youtube came to the rescue wth the exact same film, as well as several other clips of that fella's work.
Truly fascinating. I wonder what he like doing the best? Blacksmithing, the woodwork or the leather crafting afterwards... I'm assuming it was the same fella. Anyway thanks for sharing. Love seeing that sort of stuff.

Thanks for the clarification of who did what. To be honest I was watching the hands and techniques, not their faces for who did what.
I'm not sure that it was particularly romanticised. As part of sorting out an order I've had a fair amount of email correspondence with the guy behind the video (also the wood and leather worker) Apparently the forge is a family one and belonged to the grandfather of the current owner. The log cabin in the handle and leather-working part of the video is one that was restored by the woodworking part of the duo.
Just got around to watching this, absolutely brilliant, thanks.

You are obviously pressed for time
To save you having to hunt here's a link to another one from the same guy that is also worth watching.

Thanks for that, another entertaining watch, anyone who enjoyed 'Alone in the Wilderness' or the 'Grand Designs Woodsman's Cottage' will appreciate this.
Time, I'm always about five days behind on everything these days.
I know what you mean. The poster of the "Birth of a Tool" and the "Cottage restoration" videos in this thread has also uploaded one of the Grand Designs episodes featuring Ben Law's woodland cottage.
A person's video channel gives a lot of insight into their thoughts and motivations. The text on the cottage restoration appears to be a poem. It'd be interesting to read it but my Latvian is non-existent and Google translate does it no favours.

Wow, Im in love with his work! Ive noticed he treats metal and wood with beeswax and linseed oil. Any procedure to this or just melt and mix the two ? Boiled linseed? Might be a question for robin wood this one.
