Scott, If I ever needed someone to REALLY believe something I needed to say, I'd hire you to to tell them for me. You have the single most assuring, believable, confident without being arrogant, professional narrative voices I've ever heard. Its an instantly recognizable voice as well, but not in any sort of odd or distracting way which is a rare quality. If I had to use one word to describe what I hear when you speak, it would be "integity". I can not be the first or even thousandth person to ever tell you this. If you told me switching my brain out with a chicken brain would make me smarter, I'd be on my way to the farm to buy a chicken and a hack saw before you even finished the sentence. PLEASE don't suggest I do this because I will believe you! Go get yourself a talent agent and go make a ton of money with that voice! See Mike Rowe.
rory lobban David Attenborough is a very untrustworthy man. Just look at what happened during his tenure as director of BBC2 and the cover ups. He is also anti-democracy stating the plebs shouldn’t get to vote in the EU referendum.

A “quick” comment to let you know I just finished the Essential Craftsman Binge Watch Challenge. It took me a little under a week and I finished the last 7 videos after putting my 4 sons to bed and speaking with their older sister on the phone after a wonderful Father’s Day. I didn’t have mine growing up, and at age 44, I’m still learning more each day about how to be a more effective one for them. Finding your channel has been a blessing to me. I started learning about hard work hooking up chokers to trees on a mountainside as well and then added in working as a butcher’s assistant at the ripe age of 12. I learned loads along the way and pass on all I can to them. Just when I think I’m becoming and passing on a certain well roundedness... I dive into your man’s man of a channel and get a crash course in life, love, and craftsmanship that illuminates that I’m still fairly egg shaped after all. Thank you and god bless you and your family for giving these gifts of yourselves. As soon as Covid related woes ease up, I’ll definitely be leaping at the Patreon button. Until then, you can find me here most every day watching every bit of content and absorbing as I throw myself onto life’s anvil for more molding. I’d keep pouring it on thick, but I better get back to sharing it all with my children before I’m quenched. Thank you again for playing a sort of surrogate father role in my life. Happy Father’s Day and so long as I sign off and put together a “5 knots workstation” to keep these boys busy this week. PS- If you happen to consider sending adoption papers, they’ll be signed and expedited back. If that happens, expect us to show up for the next Christmas jam with all our instruments. I’ll be the guy tied up in knots.
If this is the skill for which you so beautifully can express because of a beautiful video, I can hardly imagine what your sentiments pen for any occasion in a Hallmark card.
Son: Dad, why is my sisters name Rose? Dad: Because son, that is your mothers favorite flower. Son: Oh okay dad, thanks for explaining. I have always wondered that. Dad: No problem Essential Craftsman
Wow!... Now That's a Knife... or Two. Exactly what I Picture as an Example of an Authentic Bowie Knife. Thanks for Sharing. I'm Green to Blacksmithing... But also am a Decent Fabricator/Welder Auto Mechanic Bodyman Painter etc... Self Taught... 40yrs Experience
You may not consider yourself a knife maker, but you sure resemble one to me. Absolutely beautiful works that can be handed down for generations to come.
Scrolling through "how to make a Bowie knife" this video which I have seen more than once Iss still a favorite. And the knives, wow! Thanks again for this video.
Quietly watching a craftsman create without pounding music over the top just makes this more enjoyable. Thank you for just letting the work speak for itself
Scott is a #TrueAmerican, I'd even go as far as to say he'll be seen as a kind of hero some day. I hope young men are watching these videos, and taking his words to heart. What a beautiful soul.
I often find myself liking the more European designs like the puuko, Leuku, Yakut and others but the Bowie knife is such a classic American knife rugged and tuff through and through and it’s just a great knife everyone loves it
I would like to see just 1” more open of the frame to watch the timing of the foot from 0:45 . What a beautiful way of sharing the deepest parts of a craftsman mind, hart and soul is like once skills can take raw steel to be sifted in to a piece of art 😍 Wonder how this great country would look like if from every school principal to the governor, mayor or even the president had experienced or known the places a piece of steel can take your mind, hart and soul on every single stroke with a simple hammer. We need true craftsman’s in the government !!! Thank you for sharing 👌
Those are beautiful knives sir. The Bowie is hands down my absolute favorite type of knife. Been carrying one or more, of one type or other, nearly every day for over 40 years.
Yes! check out Essential Blacksmithing ! I have completed this course, and enjoy what I have leaned a lot! after a days stresses and frustrations, it is a joy to take some time to go out to my shop, start the forge that I made. Make a chunk of Steal HOT! take up my hammer and on my Anvil beat the Heat out of it and make something Cool! I'm only a hobbyist/Beginner, but I have fun. we all need fun on our lives! Enjoy, and please have fun! Thank you Scott and Nate!
Nice to see someone hammer in their bevels. I've been wanting to see someone make a bowie using the banana technique, like my dad talked about. He use to forge his own farm tools before i was born.
Beautiful!!! I fell in love with one over 30 years ago, it was my father's I carried it everywhere I could over my shoulder then at my hip as I got bigger🤣 he gifted it to me 4 my 16th birthday and I still have it and it gets used very regularly!!! Great vid and thanks for the history lesson as I did not know the story😅👍
Oh, and what's up with the Katana? Future project? I wonder if Leo drools over the knives and swords! As a kid I remember begging for a carpenter to make me a wooden sword to play around. Imagine growing up around a blacksmith shop.... wow...
As I watch this video I am eerily enjoying listening to your voice. Maybe if blacksmithing doesn't work out for you, please consider doing audiobooks. Lol. Great work sir.
I think that I owe blacksmithing one hell of a big apology! I can see now that it is one of THE crafts just as much as carving or painting or saddlery OR gunsmithing! It s not just tinbashing as I had always thought, but a realskill of intelligence and learned experience! Thanks for posting!
I haven't the faintest idea how you gave two brand new knives the appearance of having been weathered by time, but the effect is very attractive. Beautiful work!
I was watching another blacksmithing video awhile back, and I learned something. If you're quenching a long blade, use a horizontal bath, and align it with magnetic north. While hot, the magnetic poles in the iron are fluid, and if the quench which (sets the poles) is not running N/S, you can warp the blade.
I have seen a lot of beautifully perfect handmade bowies with precise craftsmanship, but the most beautiful I have ever seen were forged and the evidence of the anvil and hammer were still present. A perfectly ground blade of the stock removal method can be a beautiful thing, but they just don't have the character of a forged blade.

Another great video, feels really good to leave the office and get back making money in the shop. I owe that, in part to you. Can't wait to proudly wear my recently purchased t around town.
Scott, I mill lumber and build costom house for a living. But my first love is hunting. So, if you ever start selling knives i would love to purchase a knife from a fellow wood worker!

And the story goes on. Just keep doing what you do...your amazing at it. 🙏blessed days Scott Crawford out 🧙♂️
“I don’t consider myself a knife maker” proceeds to make 2 of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen
you can't go wrong with bowies
seriously
Probably didn't consider himself one cause his goal isn't to produce and sell on a semi production fashon.
Imagine what he could do if he did make knives on a regular basis

Thank you. Your videos are food for my soul.
I am pleased that there is a video with someone using: gloves, safety glasses and a apron. Old Shop-teachers believe in safety.
Mr. Wadsworth you are a knife maker and a very accomplished one at that. Beautiful job on those two Bowie's.
Beautiful I watch forged in fire and it made me want to start black smithing and making knives and swords n stuff looks like a good hobby
Many folks forget to make the connection of bowie knifes to the spanish cowboys knives prevelant during jim bowie's time... they are just beautiful...
I've watched this video so many times wishing I could purchase that exact knife, both look amazing. Great work.
I feel about technical theatre the way you feel about blacksmithing. Thousands of years of artistic tradition. thanks scott!!
Those are the most beautiful knives Ive seriously ever seen!
Those twins are simply fabulous. Cheers.
Can tell how excited and proud of the knives you made. Much respect.

@surfskagit if you look to the top of the ram support, you can see the hand lever move. That should be in time with pressing the pedal.
You step on the pedal when you want it to go, and lift off when you want it to stop.
Those are beautiful knives sir.
The Bowie is hands down my absolute favorite type of knife. Been carrying one or more, of one type or other, nearly every day for over 40 years.
They are stunning - superb craftsmanship
Beautiful work Scott. The vid was not only entertaining, it was mesmerizing to watch with outstanding editing. Thanks for sharing your work. Cheers!
Love watching this it's peaceful like watching Bob Ross painting.
You are a craftsman and a poet. Thank you.
These are gorgeous blades, and your shop is amazing

There is more to my story of 2019. One day we will chat over coffee. Till then turn your brownie button right side up!
Absolutely beautiful knives. A true craftsman!
This is what I call a great video - both craftsmanship and videography!
this is the way to go, down to basic and simplicity...very nice work Sir. Very inspiring. Thanks from Norway
The is the bob ross of the forging and we love him
Those are just beautiful. Good work!
I have seen the historic marker in Washington, Ark where the blacksmith shop was where the first Bowie knife was forged.
Sir, I think you will give Randall Knifes some competition! Outstanding craftsmanship, keep up the good work! God bless you and your family.
No the shaping on those is seriously something special, E.C.
Mesmerizing just watching this material being transformed in your hands.
Nice to see someone hammer in their bevels. I've been wanting to see someone make a bowie using the banana technique, like my dad talked about. He use to forge his own farm tools before i was born.
WOW!!! You never cease to amaze me with your endless talents. Thank you for your knowledge and inspiration Truly one of the greatest RUclipsrs
Beautiful. I think Jim would approve.
I grew up around Jim Bowie's childhood home on the Ouachita River, Sicily Island Louisiana.
Excellent workmanship Scott.
Beautiful!!! I fell in love with one over 30 years ago, it was my father's I carried it everywhere I could over my shoulder then at my hip as I got bigger🤣 he gifted it to me 4 my 16th birthday and I still have it and it gets used very regularly!!! Great vid and thanks for the history lesson as I did not know the story😅👍
Beautiful piece of work scott, and some nice new shots and camera angles by nate... as always thanks gentlemen
Those knives are Beautiful and works of art
As part of the first blacksmithing course I highly recommend it. Outstanding work and content.
Awesome craftsmanship Sir!
You create some of the best content. Keep it up and thank you for being you.
Wow! Knives turned out amazingly beautiful!!!!
Oh, and what's up with the Katana? Future project?
I wonder if Leo drools over the knives and swords! As a kid I remember begging for a carpenter to make me a wooden sword to play around. Imagine growing up around a blacksmith shop.... wow...
Incredible work those knives came out spectacular.
I really enjoyed the close-up shots in this video. Beautiful work!
James Bowie is an American icon/Legend.
Beautiful knives 😁. For a non-knife maker, you do a great job 👍
As I watch this video I am eerily enjoying listening to your voice. Maybe if blacksmithing doesn't work out for you, please consider doing audiobooks. Lol. Great work sir.

Will you sell knives like these? I would absolutely buy one from the essential craftsman
