Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Sir your channel may be called Essential Craftsman, but It could easily be called,
The Craftsman Philosopher. I never fail to learn something watching your segments.
Man you nailed it. He is amazing.
An impressive young man. His ability to explain wha he was doing is a gift.
Yes sir, a born teacher.
I'm 62 years old as of yesterday, and I've always taken crap from people over the decades because I have a curious mind. Over the decades I've learned a lot of valuable skills that have benefited my wife and I. Stay curious and don't let people discourage you in anything you pursue. The skills I've worked to learn over the decades have saved me loads of money and I enjoy exercising those skills. Plus there is a little bit of joy I get when the people that gave me crap have to spend big dollars having to need something repaired because they are too lazy to learn to do it themselves.
The fact he says "...ripping on the sides and shearing in the middle" 3:43 indicates he's got a thorough understanding of the material and pays attention to the whole process, even at the molecular level.
I bet that really helps a blacksmith become a master.
An engineering company will want him, as a FFA President and skills the sky is the limit
I love hard work!
I can watch it all day long on RUclips.
I am so glad that my boys aren't alone in being raised well. These young men give me hope for the future.
It’s nice to know that although a lot of people are sitting in offices and/or “zooming” which is perfectly ok that there are also those working with their hands and minds to make their own creations. Actually RUclips is full of those but it’s good to see you put these young men in focus.
Very nice video. Hello from Central Illinois. I really enjoy your videos. You mentioned education and it reminded me of my Dad. He spent his career in Education with a Doctor's degree and taught others getting their advanced degrees. He was a farm boy and an Old West Historian. He coined the term in the 60s "Education is the Eternal Flame of Freedom" and used it on his letterhead etc. I miss him every day.
I have been fascinated for years by the Fibonacci sequence. Years ago I made a tool that as it expands maintains the proportions. it Is like a divider except It has three points, plans can be found online. As a matter of fact woodpeckers did made a series of them. The Fibonacci sequence can be found in everything from sunflower seeds to flower petals. the tool would be perfect for laying out scrolls and other iron work.
I like it this type of work but i have enough tools and equipment about it .
Like yours 😪
A group of us will be doing a class with Jonathan doing the collaring/trivets. I've worked with Brian Brazeal a bunch over the last two years, but this was something I never had him show me. Looking forward to it, because Jonathan is great at articulating what needs to be done.
Your age is showing 😊. Your advice is equally valid for those of the opposite gender. Over an almost 40 year career I have been impressed by the math, engineering and construction skills of many women, many of whom I would have rather worked with than a man. As father of six daughters and 11 granddaughters, I think I’m qualified to say their skills and talents are right there with their brothers and they uniformly bring something special to the work. Keep up the good work!
This video was probably one of the most powerful from Scott. Math is so much easier to comprehend when it is combined with it's practical application. I struggled with trigonometry in high school until my machine shop teacher showed me how to apply it for setting up a lathe for turning tapers.
I am profoundly grateful that out of the black whole youtube might be, EC is part of my subscriptions.
As a 32yo entrepreneur(climbing arborist/portable sawmill owner and operator/carpenter) who is passionate about blacksmithing and all sorts of crafting, I find deep inspiration in EC content.
Thank you very much for brining such wisdom and experience to our world.
Are we the same person? Just might be. 30 y/o climbing arborist, artist/craftsman and future sawmill operator. Don't happen to be in the north east by chance?
@@Corsonmcnash man we might just be the same person. I live in Québec! Funny!
How awesome! I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now, and you just happened to have my family on there, Todd and his son, Jonathan. That’s great, I’m very happy. Smiling from ear to ear! 😃
As a young pup. and before school math of higher levels, I was fascinated by the Fibonacci sequences or Golden Rule as its found in everything. I saw it in the shells, the sunflowers, and everything around me before I learned about the "Golden Rule" or Fibonacci stuff. I could see it everywhere even in the size ratios of houses and windows and stairs and roof lines and drawers and desks and tables. It is everywhere to the observant. I was seeing it as a curious thing to me and never asked others if they saw it - I just accepted it as "nature". If it didn't follow these "rules, it felt "wrong" without realizing why. It just seemed "wrong" like a sour note in a song if it didn't follow along the "rule". I was almost as fascinated by Mandelbrot equations and what it does when applied in computers.. I have always been fascinated by the Golden Rule since I first heard it delineated to me in school. My art teacher always asked us to "feel" it to see if our design felt right and explained it by emphasizing the "Golden Rule". We, by nature, at our very core , inside and well as outside, are governed by it. Once we understand it and apply it, we always arrive at a design that pleases and functions well for us and all who look at it. Thanks. I wish ALL teachers were as fascinated and desirous of their craft's beauty when done well. Keep up the good work.
Preserving the heritage of ancient knowledge, such is the spirit of this channel. Long life to you Scott.
You can use two crescents to snap metal banding on pallets in the same way as you use the vice and crescent here
Thank you. Math is empowering and very good for lifting one's mood. Practicing mathematics leads one to becoming more organized and to developing the much needed emotional continence that is necessary in acquiring useful skills in all areas of our lives.
The study of Mathematics is good medicine : )!
You know what's special Scott? You were able to listen and learn from this young man. Many of us hit the age where we can eat off the senior menu and think that we know more than young folks. Many our age become stuck and incapable of learning. Looks like you are still flexible and open minded. Good on ya Scott!
Every day's a school day
Hi 👋
Powerful video!
I love YOUr videos. As you were highlighting the importance of math, I was thinking you could substitute that word for good parenting it’s clear those young men were byproducts of both advantages. Thank you for sharing what you learned with us.
all the math in the Universe is empty, until someone uses the language to convey it clearly to the understanding of others. Yourself, and young Pinkston demonstrated that key ability to teach.
well done ........to each of you Darrell
They key to learning math is needing to use it. Tell someone that they are going to need to know trigonometry and they will have no interest. Give someone a problem that requires them to use trigonometry and they will be more likely to gain an interest in the subject. Way back in the 80's when I was in school, math was just numbers on a page. I had no interest in it at all and was in basic math my entire time in school. Once I got into comp0uters and computer graphics in the 90s I actually taught myself a lot of advanced math because I needed it to do what I was doing. It was several decades before I even realized that I knew this advanced math. I wasn't doing Trig, or calculus, I was just solving a problem.
I learned to use 2 pairs of Cresent wrench or lineman's pliers to cut metal banding. I was probably 12. I used this and other mechanical tricks for my entire working life. If you stay thirsty for knowledge, you never grow mentally aged. My body has had a completely different reaction. Thank you from up on the Columbia River. (Still in Oregon)
such an enjoyable video; great content. while recovering from cranial trauma in 2011, I spent lots of time here on the internet. symbolism, the Fibonacci, many great lessons learned. the young man in this video is, already, a great teacher; you too:D
I always did horrible in math at school. When I got out of school I got into computers and computer graphics. May years later I decided to try to brush up on math using some highly recommended Tutor DVDS. I was quite surprised to find out that I was doing calc and trig on my own without even realizing it. I didn't know the names, and I may not have been figuring out the problems in a text book way, but I was getting the correct results.
At this point, I realized it wasn't Me that was the problem, but the way math is taught. If you want to get people to learn things you have to get them interested in it. My teachers always said things like "you're going to need this later", but never gave any real world examples of it. If you want someone to learn something, show them why they will need it, or they are just going to think, "I'm never going to need that".
Yes. Our brains change as we age too. Something our brain is not geared for at 14 we should try again at 25, 45, 80, pick an age.
Thank you for these great words of wisdom and counsel, your grandchildren and great grandchildren will learn from you as they watch these videos.what a great legacy
EVERYTHING is built around the golden ratio naturally. From the shape of the milky way to our DNA. Pretty cool to encorporate this into your work
THANK YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
Ride the spiral to the end we may just go where no one's been, SPIRAL OUT!
I just love all of your videos, but this one in particular because I am a shop teacher and a maths teacher and I love learning even at almost 60 years young. Your advice is plumb and square and true. It is great to apply the rules and watch a project come together. Just wonderful.
Have been watching your channel from years and I always have good things to learn. If you see my tools in my shop you'll quickly realize that I watch your videos :) Thanks to your advices I was able to find a pretty nice 214lb Peter Wright anvil, Leg vices, and many other tools. Thank you.
Everytime I hear about the Fibonacci sequence I immediately think of the song “Lateralus” by the band Tool. Whether it’s your kinda music or not, there’s no denying how extremely talented they are as musicians, especially Danny Carey
ruclips.net/video/uOHkeH2VaE0/видео.html
Hi! A video popped up with you talking about your sleep apnea and I saw the anvil in your thumbnail. Which drew me to look at and subscribe to your channel. My dad was a blacksmith and went about the country teaching classes. My son who is 40 today, learned so much from him and is now a welder for a great company. He has his own little shop and has dads anvil. I’m so proud of him. Maybe you or one of your viewers knew my dad, Fred Caylor. ❤ Thanks for bringing back some memories of ”Josh’s Ironworks”.
I've had the pleasure of spending some time with Jonathan, Andrew, and Mark at the quadstate round up for acouple years. The one think that impresses me more than there amazing blacksmith skills the the impressive " quality" of these young men. Extremely knowledgeable, always willing to share their knowledge, extremely polite, and very appreciative. Im a 50 yr old man. And these pups always impress me
I thoroughly enjoyed today's topic. I have been thinking about that very thing over the last couple of weeks. Thank you for bringing this forward.
And please, if you have a chance, extend my appreciation and admiration for those young men.
The world needs more like them.
Typically I glaze over like a donut when it comes to math. Maybe it’s all the lead paint chips I consumed as a child. Struggled my whole life with it. Thank God for the calculator! I believe I actually understand this and am going to make this! Thank you!
The best explanation of the Fibonacci sequence I’ve ever come across. Many thanks!
I love video. I want to add about power of math. Once you loose the power of math, that you used for years for your career, then brain surgery robs it from you then it becomes very apparent the power you had. Sorry if that don't make sense.
Just very much agree MATH is power!!!
Blacksmith shop can make anything, Blacksmith shop with a good welder can make everything better, faster,stronger, and cheaper. Add a plasma cutter and an oxy acetylene torch and a good metal break and a mandrel bender and you can make everything perfectly
Getting your hands dirty means you are creating something. Or learning something. Or teaching something. Or doing something. Gotta go get these hands dirty now after a great pep talk, coach. ;). Keep up the good work!
I think you would like Liam Hoffman and Alec Steele. Other young guys who know hammer and steel.
Math is the base of everything in the universe. Atoms, electricity, magnetism how your body works.
Whenever I feel to level up in math my brain says to me, "Do you feel in charge?" And that about does it. But those young men are gifted. Good work.
Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Wonderful video I had the pleasure of taking a trivet making class from Mark, Johnathan and Andrew a few months ago in La Grange Texas I had a wonderful time and they are great teachers
That young man has the "golden ratio" between theory and practice, no pun intended. I would certainly loved to have learnt from him on blacksmithing
Thank you for sharing this Scott. I love learning this and will be making a pattern of my own for the shop. Have a good day.
He is very good as a teacher and exact in his technique. I believe this is a collaring jig in the style of Brian Brazeal. If you use the math well you can accommodate any size material perfectly. I agree he will make an excellent instructor.
They use the Fibonacci Sequence in Stock Market Technical Analysis.
I can almost guarantee both these young men were home schooled. You don't learn these skills, technical and personal, in a traditional classroom setting
Warms my heart to see really talented young men like that, and on another note I found your comments to be very inspiring even though I am probably your age.
Wow! This amazing. The whole thing is interesting. Simply awesome.
71+ and still curious and learning, great tips
Interesting, it's almost like the world had an intelligent creator instead of random evolution.
Powerful and inspiring video. Thank you.
I'm glad to see the beauty of math applied, and know that this spiral secret has been present through the ages and it links us all!
That young man is awesome. knowledgeable and highly skilled.
I wish church sermons were Lille this. I feel like I recharge with your videos
If you don't like math, the world will make you pay....
I love the channel but after reading the title I was expecting to see actual dogs. :)
Your best video content and message ever, IMHO!
AMAZING, SO NICE TO WATCH CRAFTSMEN... THANK YOU AGAIN.
So you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!🙂
Such a great inspiration to young folks coming up
That boy has a very bright future to say the least his students will benefit a great deal.
What a great video. Impressive young men!
Math is power, and curiosity is the fuel.
One of your better videos. Thanks.
impressive - thank you for the lessons taught
There is nothing sadder to me than someone who has decided that they do not need to learn anything new.
Your closing monologue was brilliant, thank you.
What a great video. Very impressive men!!
Could you make a collaring hearty tool?
Those four you mentioned at the end are The Chain gang.
The sound that collaring jig makes is almost intoxicating.
Yes, it made me think of the power in that young mans right arm.
Thank God it's Friday
Great video! Thanks for enlightening us about here simple but elegant methods of bending iron! Was especially impressed by breaking flat stock with a crescent wrench! Gracias👏👏👏
Inspiring, thank you.
It's always great to learn. And his system reminds of binary 1,2,4,8,16 and so on. You were fortunate to spend some time with such talented young men. Thanks for the video.
Thank you!!! This helps me so much!
Time to make "Essential Crafstman LLC".
Nate will handle video production and guys like Jonathan and Scott are the 'talent'.
You guys have found some gifted craftsman that deserve a larger audience.
European paper sizes start with A0 and that folded in half becomes 2 sheets of A1, folded to A2, folded to A3, folded to A4 - the last one being the most common personal computer printer paper.
Great video.
This shows there is hope in the next generation.
I would love a follow-up video, going a bit deeper into the problem scrolls present, the golden spiral, and applying this technique.

So good to see you back in the shop. I hope soon to be making my own things doing blacksmithing. Really enjoyed your other black smith videos. And thoroughly thought you were great in Christmas story. Hahaha thank you for your great videos ☺️
Perhaps the finest episode of EC. So much information conveyed in a relatively short video.
Gifted young man.!!!
I never expected to gain a solid understanding of the Fibonacci Sequence from EC, but I'm glad I did.
Beginnings of an idea just occurred to me: what if you made a ring or pipe bender that was geared to change its bending radius as a function of how far you cranked the material through it? Change the gear ratios for the size and tightness of the spiral you want. Could form decorative scrollwork or springs. Thoughts?
Wanna really play with math? Make that same spiral into a 3 Dimensional rising cone at the same rates of the Fibonacci.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is there any way to get those 2 young men, you and Si (edited to read Cy Swan) in the same room? That would be something to see.
Andrew was right there in the shop. We are big pals and work together often!
Very impressive young man and great video Scott! Thank you!
Scott, this was a really really good episode, much respect to you and the people you find along your way, keep up the great work!
As somebody who went from math to crafting, I appreciate this video!
What an amazingly powerful message, even for a 75 yr old like me
Awesome, Thank you
