    Dear Mater Craftsman, I am from Asia. I am a wood and metal worker and I am 75 now almost all the skills are well known to me that are needed for Surrey building, I wish to make one before I kick the bucket 😂 I watch your videos several times times and I am so grateful 🙏 for the knowledge you share with the rest of the world. Your work is admirable and the skills you have acquired over the passage of time. Some one said:
    One who works with hands is a labourer.
    One who works with hands and mind is a Craftsman.
    One who works with hands, mind and heart is an ARTIST.
    YOU ARE AN ARTIST.
    SALUTE TO YOU SIR.

    Convertible top, hand stitching, seat upholstery, pin stipes. A buggy for the more affluent of folks of the times. The luxury vehicles of the not so distant past. Nice video. I'll stay with the 20 minute or so videos. If I wished to try doing a build like that I'd watch the 12 hours plus version. I don't have the time nor the skills needed and too old to learn and perfect them all. Watching you build wagons and buggies I can see years of experience.

      to some degree yes, by removing material from a countersink, or when one end of the bolt is hidden, and i believe it's especially doable with fine threads and in wood. but you almost never see it in watchmaking for example.

I have no degree in electrical engineering but I am a master locomotive electrician and master cabinet maker. Skills I use every day in my composite locomotive mechanic job.

    a perfect moving pictograph of the time, the effort, the materials but most important the skills of the artesan. the depth of knowledge and drive for quality is beyond question. the final product lives in the realm of the top quality car bracket attracting prices circling the 500,000 bracket (£or$) so this must be the equivalent to the rolls royce of 'buggys'.
    the series has been compulsive, saturdays mornings UK, and a joy to watch day putting out a beautiful product and superb;y watchable videos along the way.

    My great grandfather started out as a coach builder. After serving his apprentice years he struck out on his own in a small farming community in The Netherlands. Around the turn of the century he realized horse drawn carriages would go the way of the dodo.
    In 1907 he auctioned off his shop, tools,templates, wood the lot.
    And started anew selling and repairing bicycles, motor bikes and cars.
    Watching this video reminds me of all the skills he had to learn while being a young apprentice lad. Impressive.
