This almost makes me regret what I've been doing with my life - my childhood dream was to be a blacksmith, and seeing you two and the level of skill that you have...I only wish I could have spent more time developing some sort of skill, something that I can proudly say I was good at. Amazing video, you are truly artisans of your craft.
@@artursandins - Lol, appreciate the supportive words.D In the last decade I haven't picked up blacksmithing, but I will be buying a house soon and will hopefully have a shop to work in!
I would LOVE to learn how to do the things that you do in your Birth of a Tool videos. You craftsmanship is beautiful !!!! You are a dying breed good sir and that surely is a shame.
John... I watch this movie when I am sad or when I want to motivate myself to go forge. It's such a spiritual experience, to watch You working wth Your hand, to hear Bon Iver. Best wishes from me and my family. Maybe someday I'll visit You :) I have only 1020 km to You :)
This is a thing of beauty just to watch a true craftsmen apply his skill and make something as beautiful as the items you make.This is something I have longed for as a occupation it is simply inspiring to me to strive to reach that perfection.Keep doing what you do sir I can not speak for the rest..I will watch like a wide eyed child full of wonder.
More videos like this need to be made. Just the beauty of this, is phenomenal. the only thing i don't like is putting that beautiful handmade chisel in that laser cutter to engrave the name. maybe carve it instead?? would look a lot nicer and not manufactured
You made my day!! What a talent and what a beautiful presentation. Not only are you a tool maker > but an artist to go with it !! Congratulations to you. Any person that gives you a thumbs down > they are jealous and they are loooosers !! Thank you. AAAA+++++
My hat is off to you sir. Those are absolutely beautifully crafted tools. I am buying a draw saw from you next chance I get. Incredible. Thank is all I can put together to say.
This is such a motivating video. Thank you for sharing, its unique to see a man build and forge an object from scratch that we as society take for granted. Seems machines have over ran our abilities to create and work for something nowadays. Part III no doubt will be just as awe inspiring. Keep up the great work.
John, although young in years you are well seasoned, I wish I knew your inspiration (Father?) I would love to be a fly on the wall while you create your fine' art of the tool making' persona. It's harmony and a tribal rhythm of metal on metal that rings in my cyber ears. My grandfather could only tell me what it was like to hear a hundred war drums beating in unison, I would love to hear your hammer beating in time to the creation of a tool.
LOVE these videos...Makes me want to get back out in the shop! One thing did bother me..... NEVER wear a long sleeve of ANY KIND while working with a lathe...I worked with metals and around a LOT of lathes..the things that have happened to people for making such a mistake could literally make you cringe at just the site of one.
@@sharonsharon2604 From my perspective the only reason that it shows a bearded guy in a sweater is that he's the one making the tool. If it was a woman making the tool I have no doubt it would show the woman. What these videos focus on is not the patriarchal tendencies of contemporary society; these videos focus on the process of turning raw materials into tools and buildings. If you desire to see women featured in these videos i suggest checking out "The Birth Of A Wooden House." which is also featured on this channel, it details the crafting of the house in which, Jacob, the founder of Northmen, his wife, and their daughters, live. Though there are no female woodworkers shown, it shows both splendid craftsmanship and a deep love of family that shows us why men and women go to the lengths they do in order to cultivate human connection for both themselves and their children.
Absolutely amazing videos (meaning both parts I and II). I hope you will be making many, many more. Keep the Bon Iver soundtrack; it couldn't be a more perfect fit. You've inspired me to learn how to make something beautiful and useful.
Didn't know that Ryan Gosling was such a good carpenter.... ;) Just a joke, really nice work, with beautiful music and awesome video (love the depth of field, and wonderful sound).
when will you make other great video like this? I see your channel everyday to watch if you put one more video. the music is very nice. thanks from Spain
Wow... talk about true craftsman. I love the birth of a tool video's. I do have two questions that maybe someone might be able to answer. Does anyone know what the honeycomb is used for? And why did the wood craftsman use wood shavings on the lathe?
This almost makes me regret what I've been doing with my life - my childhood dream was to be a blacksmith, and seeing you two and the level of skill that you have...I only wish I could have spent more time developing some sort of skill, something that I can proudly say I was good at.

its newer too late

Is it weird that I have watched this about 20 times this week?
Why would anyone dislike this amazing video
thanks. we will make the "Part III" in a while about scandinavian knife making.
Please another video
I love the mix of theold school skills and the laser etching cnc. Perfect.
I would LOVE to learn how to do the things that you do in your Birth of a Tool videos. You craftsmanship is beautiful !!!! You are a dying breed good sir and that surely is a shame.
Wonderful skill.nice to watch
I keep coming back to these videos. seems like the perfect life.
I have watched these so many times. I find inner peace. Zen. 🙏🏻 thanks
Got spooked by the guy at the end - he is my doppelganger from 30 years ago! :)
I love that there are some of us in this world that still try our best. Good luck to you.
These videos are so relaxing. I had a really stressful day and then I found your videos. Thank you for making these.
Wow that was so nice to watch...Thanks for your good work
Who would dislike this?! Good cameraworks, good music, amazing works of arts... Seriously!
Love the craft, the videography, the music choice. Top notch!
sick skills, envy the dedication, life style and location

Omg.. this is 12 years ago.. i remember watching this for the first time.. it gives that warmth just from watching this..
It's nice to see someone make one thing, from start to finish, and do it perfectly with such skill.
Outstanding video!
Your videos, product, method, skill, craftsmanship, etc.. are all amazing. I have never felt less like a man then after watching your videos
Amazing video. Love it
Outstanding video. Amazing to see a mixture of old and new world skills combined.
This is a thing of beauty just to watch a true craftsmen apply his skill and make something as beautiful as the items you make.This is something I have longed for as a occupation it is simply inspiring to me to strive to reach that perfection.Keep doing what you do sir I can not speak for the rest..I will watch like a wide eyed child full of wonder.
A true craftsman. You make it look easy. A very good melding of old and new technology.
Very Nice! Tools like that last over a 100 years..Enjoyed this!
Very nice. Fine craftsmanship.
these videos are great, i could watch them all day
i love this series keep them coming. amazing craftsmanship!
每一次看视频、听背景音乐和观看匠人的工艺，都是一种享受，希望有一天我也能打造一把自己的Tool
Love the video! What does rubbing honeycomb do to the metal?
More videos like this need to be made. Just the beauty of this, is phenomenal. the only thing i don't like is putting that beautiful handmade chisel in that laser cutter to engrave the name. maybe carve it instead?? would look a lot nicer and not manufactured
True craftsmanship. Exquisite.
if RUclips had Grammys then these two videos together should clean house in all catagories. Moving. I want that pair of tools!
Your tools, the process you use and the video are all beautiful. Amazing work, can't wait for more!
Just received my chisels from these Craftsmen. Well worth the wait.
You made my day!! What a talent and what a beautiful presentation. Not only are you a tool maker > but an artist to go with it !! Congratulations to you.
Any person that gives you a thumbs down > they are jealous and they are loooosers !!
Thank you. AAAA+++++
I feel nothing but envy in it´s purest form...
Your work is amazing.
Amazing. I love your products. Since i was child i always dreamed to do a job like yours. You are the best!
Did you become a blacksmith?
This is art, right here. Everyone should have a proffesion like this.
A video with grace.
Great video of your craftsmanship.
Amazing video Mr Neeman...I love to hear how 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' has played a part in your video...
thank you so much for using Bon Iver with this video! true craftsmanship
Texan_Strongstorm what song was it
@@fullerva1 Re: Stacks
man i dont know what it is but watching these types of vids is something peaceful about it..
Damn you make me want to do this art. I want to move to the woods and start making tools now. DAMN YOU! such beautiful craftsmanship.
A Slick chisel!!!! You inspired me to try making one in the future. Thanks!!!!
beautiful tool really enjoyed your work
My mind is relax... Thank you!
My hat is off to you sir. Those are absolutely beautifully crafted tools. I am buying a draw saw from you next chance I get. Incredible. Thank is all I can put together to say.
Works of art from a true artist !
Devotion to an important cause!
The movie about Scandinavian Damascus knife making will come in autumn.
This is a man of many talents. He is just amazing!!!
can't wait to see it. You are an artist Sir.
Thank you for sharing your talent. Beautiful art.
This is such a motivating video. Thank you for sharing, its unique to see a man build and forge an object from scratch that we as society take for granted. Seems machines have over ran our abilities to create and work for something nowadays. Part III no doubt will be just as awe inspiring. Keep up the great work.
Very, very beautifully done!
Beautiful chisel, beautiful video
Wow. Having forged basic flat and point chisels for stone carving, this blows my mind. Beautiful.
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.
This is so amazing. I want to film work like this. Gahh love it. Very gifted.
Amazing work, John.
There’s some neat tricks hiding in here. And it’s hard to get a more natural beeswax finish than that.
I love bon iver and axes and these videos oh my gosh can i apprentice with you guys?
John, although young in years you are well seasoned, I wish I knew your inspiration (Father?) I would love to be a fly on the wall while you create your fine' art of the tool making' persona.

So Beautiful, nice work
Just ordered my 3 5/8 flat slick! Can't wait to use it.
Have you gotten it yet? If so, how is it?
@@landminehopscotch3617 it’s really nice, sorry so long answering this. :)
I never thought i'm going to enjoy watching a video about making tools :)
LOVE these videos...Makes me want to get back out in the shop!
One thing did bother me.....
NEVER wear a long sleeve of ANY KIND while working with a lathe...I worked with metals and around a LOT of lathes..the things that have happened to people for making such a mistake could literally make you cringe at just the site of one.
No safety glasses while putting his face next to a spinning lathe...
(don't get me wrong, I love this guy and these videos are amazing)
ChristmasLights And the wiggly anvil... He's clearly not German.
Rion Rich I'm bothered by the absence of women in these videos...
Only bearded men in sweaters
@@sharonsharon2604 From my perspective the only reason that it shows a bearded guy in a sweater is that he's the one making the tool. If it was a woman making the tool I have no doubt it would show the woman.

Another great video Mr Neeman. I hope you will make more! PS, music fits in perfectly, really creates a relaxed mood with the filming and editing :)
Absolutely amazing videos (meaning both parts I and II). I hope you will be making many, many more. Keep the Bon Iver soundtrack; it couldn't be a more perfect fit. You've inspired me to learn how to make something beautiful and useful.
kinda relaxing watch your video,glad to be recommended
It smoothens the surface of the wood. It is like a polishing method.
love these videos. cant wait for the next one.
I really don't do that much wood work to justify having this magnificent tool, but omg, I so want one!!!
Awesome vid.... a pleasure to watch. I use slicks like the one you made.
I'll look for more from you.
Thanks.
Great work, great video.
These are my favorite smithing videos.
Demn, I would pay, just to stand in his worshop and observe this man at work.
Wow, chills down my neck!
These videos are always awesome and yet he seems to have more then a few nitwits that downvotes him in every video WHY????
From what I have seen and read, they are the best. I would love to get in line for one of their axes but I don't know how.
Very nice!
I really like he still using bellows and coal! Good job man!
Didn't know that Ryan Gosling was such a good carpenter.... ;)
Just a joke, really nice work, with beautiful music and awesome video (love the depth of field, and wonderful sound).
I love that he uses the chisel to thin out the handle that fits into said chisel.
Amazing work, and amazing videos! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
Could you please tell me why honeycomb is utilized, and what are the advantages of using honeycomb over other possible substitutes?
Seals the steal and keeps it from rusting and its more natural and a better resource
I just love the smell of Bees wax as it hears up on hot steel.
Make that seven..............John, I think both videos are brilliant.
Wonderfully done
when will you make other great video like this?
I see your channel everyday to watch if you put one more video.
the music is very nice.
thanks from Spain
it´s amazing!! nice greetings from Slovakia :)
wow great work you do very nice just out standing my friend.just subbed
Wow... talk about true craftsman. I love the birth of a tool video's. I do have two questions that maybe someone might be able to answer. Does anyone know what the honeycomb is used for? And why did the wood craftsman use wood shavings on the lathe?
So beautiful!
Your videos are incredible.
Beeswax--it coats and finishes the iron while bringing out the beauty of the forged metal.
These are great, you may also consider releasing these without music, the sound of workshopping is great ASMR relax time.
