- This is a short documentary movie that shows the whole process of how Northmen tools are being hand crafted.
"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
Mahathma Ghandi

Dear Neeman tools i wanted to thank you and your whole team for inspiring me and unleashing a new wave of life into my own life whilst returning from two tours of afghanistan i battled through being wounded in armed conflict and also battling with depression i so badly needed something to keep my mind occupied although my years before the military i was an engineering i never knew of the delights of doing it as a hobby you have not only helped me but others around me thank you god bless jon
The world melts away watching these videos... thx for the escape...
Your home, forge, your shop... I couldn't be more jealous! Your living my life man!!!!
For me, this is the manliest video on internet!
Watched this video years ago… I go back to it again and again whenever I need a reset.
After 5 years since I came across to this video, I've found it again. The first time I watched it, I did not know what career to study and by the end I was convinced to study Industrial design (I don't know why I linked design whit this video at that time) and now five years later Im at one year of finishing my career. So thanks a lot!
Your videos are better than 99% of hollywood movies that are churned out every year.
It never ceases to amaze me...how do videos like this get dislikes? True craftsmanship...thanks for sharing.
Totally cool. Skilled in different trades;metalworking(blacksmithing), woodworking, and leather working. Hats off.
Thank you for a fantastic video..True craftsmanship. I use Northmen videos for relaxing meditation
I love your videos! Been watching them for 10 years now.. wow, time flies yet stand still. All at the same time! Thank you for keeping me sane!
Awesome. Snowboard all morning and then work in the shop well into the evening...winning!
One of the most beautiful videos I've watched!
FINALLY somebody who makes an axe handle with the grain oriented in the proper direction!! Beautiful piece of work. Now I want to make one myself.
Have watched this about 20 times over the years and the only way to describe it is a beautiful edit with outstanding craftsmanship
Had to search for a few minutes but i found this video again as i do ever so often. This video lives in my head rent free, forever.
I'm absolutely speechless. The quality of this video is amazing.
I for one would never underestimate the importance of a good hand-axe/hatchet when in the wilderness. Something so many ppl view as a household implement has saved my ass on more than one occasion. That thing is a beauty! Sending love from the bayous of Louisiana! Love the music too
Absolutely majestic! Just pure ecstasy!
wow, I don't know why this videos make me feel so relaxed, so zen, so peaceful...
