The Birth Of A Tool. (the useful kind of tool)

[jhood001]

I really enjoyed watching this.



This is a short documentary movie that shows the whole process of how the John Neeman 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

True craftsmanship.

[Troublco]

How awesome is that? Everything on their website is amazing. What craftsmanship.

What a talent. I ask my farrier friend of mine (Certified Journeyman) to craft me an axe years ago and after some trial and error he finally told me he wan't happy with the final product. He told me it was harder than the videos make it look.

Way cool video. The place I buy my chainsaw stuff sells these. More than a cheap axe but not super expensive for what you get. I'm gonna look at them again.

Your point? [Roll1]


Neeman does nice work.

Check out "Kentucky" on Blade Forums. I picked up one of his tomahawks this summer. Very nice work. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons/default/drool.gif
