    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

    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!

    For the crew of Neeman Tools: I work with production of advertising films and I am a connoisseur of cutlery. Honestly, the series "The Birth of a Tool" are the best movies I saw on the topic. Besides adding value to the art of ancient technique, adds value to the end product Neeman Tools. Very inspiring!

    Just gives me another reason to watch it again. I think the music works well. I love when you pull the blade back from polishing it and it edge looks like it's encased in glass. What you do is an art form of functional beauty.

  • @bretwhitmore8855
    @bretwhitmore8855 6 лет назад +1

    Exceptionally well done in every respect. It restores my faith in humanity that such skills are not entirely lost among us, that the true craftsmanship of my youth still exists, and especially that such adept young people of a generation or more behind mine are the master practitioners of the fine old arts, and willing to share their skills with others. Carry on smartly. Today's culture is starved for true steersmen, the 'real' instead of 'virtual', for quality instead of 'good-enough', and for the tangible touch of human hands, minds and hearts, rather than the cold, valueless, disposability of machines.

    Maybe I'm alone in this, but I actually find that most of the beauty of this film lies within the artisan craft itself. I'm unabashedly fascinated by their work. I'm definitely alone on this one, but I also feel that the Foreign Fields track is more fitting than the Bon Iver track. I love how the first 4 minutes are quieter and more contemplative, allowing for the sounds of the work to take over. The build happens at the perfect time when the tool comes together. I don't know, I sure liked it.
