    When I was a young man in the 1980s had you told me that in the year 2021 one of my favorite forms of entertainment would be watching a young Russian attorney build a cabin and homestead in the middle of the Taiga via a world wide network of connected computers - I would have called you crazy. Yet - here we are. The world is far stranger than any of us can possibly know.

      40 years is a lot of change, at least in the past few centuries. We went from using the same stone age tech for a hundred thousand years, then using bronze for thousands, iron for a few thousand more, and then things got crazy. Imagine the difference between being a young man in the civil war, seeing the west in its heyday in the decades after, and then watching airplanes become a thing, all within 40 years. Going through the Great Depression as a teen, fighting in WWII and seeing the world become a global community, and then watching the moon landing on TV, all within 40 years. The 1980's compared to today doesn't seem like that stark of a contrast compared to those, really most everything that's changed has been electronics.

Made furniture from packing case wood...dug hole for my toilet....completely different climate and situation to yours. I walked everywhere and loved it. But I had beautiful local people living as I did and no bears etc. Your videos give us substance to our dreams as most cannot actually do it. I ended up being captured by a beautiful woman from my own tribe and carried off kicking and screaming very quietly. She has passed now and I am back to a simple life and diet but filled with infinite dreams and memories in a house I built myself of course and structures which others said could not be done..love your “Shaving Bench” it’s perfect. Please keep your series going. We were meant to live on this earth without ruining it or harming others and its logical our maker will keep to his intentions in the long run after we have proved unable to care for this world ourselves.

    When I was a very small boy, I was left handed, as I used to eat and drink with my left hand, but I was coerced into using my right hand instead by the adults in my family. Consequently I am relatively ambidextrous. I wouldn't risk holding nails while I hammered them in, thats too much of a risk to my fingers, at least only in an emergency, and writing with my left hand would probably be a bit of a scrawl, but I frequently swop hands when working if its convenient, like when wood turning, or using spanners etc.
    Sometimes it's easier to just swop hands, instead of turning my whole body around, so my right hand is aligned correctly.
    So, unwittingly, my family did me a favour.
    I can only recommend that people try to train themselves to be as ambidextrous as possible.
    Its a useful skill. Practice make perfect.

    Oh my God, this is PREMIER DIY documentary material. It is so INCREDIBLY INTERESTING, conceptualised, well shot, edited and narrated, that it really should be on Discovery Channel. It is just SOOOOO interesting to watch, and listen and learn from. All of the camera angles, and the natural sounds of the various processes are just JOY to a male mind!!
    If a woman's clothes shop had a small TV playing your material in the corner of the shop, they would easily increase their profits because the men folk would never hurry their good ladies, and more dresses and scarves would be purchased. Hell the men would even be suggesting to their women that they go 'clothes shopping' together!!!
    Seriously though, PREMIER watching. Absolutely outstanding video AND DIY productions!!

    "Blacksmith hammer with hemispherical face" is a "Rounding hammer" I believe. It is designed so that when you hit the center of the hammer goes deeper and the outside edges of your strike are pushed out, causing the metal to flatten and widen faster.
    The two piece tool you made for rounding the spring clip is a variation of a hardy or "forming die."

    Thank you for sharing your learning experience in blacksmithing. It reminded me of my early days of trial and error when quenching spring steel in water. The familiar clink sound when the blade cracks is never forgotten. Spring steel is generally oil quench steel. I was commissioned to make one of these rare tools a few years ago. I made it in one piece by drifting a large hole towards the corner of the bar, slitting one side off, folding it out and drawing the taper to make the long handle tang. My customer was very happy saying it is most likely to be the only cloggers knife made here in Australia. I enjoyed seeing some examples of your craft and also your unusual anvil.
