    Bertram sir, you are a true “Craftsman” in so many ways, at such a young age, it’s difficult for me to imagine that you’ve Not been blessed from birth. We’re all in awe here at your expertise and perseverance. The birds songs in the background are soothing and beautiful. Well done sir!

      @@timfife7219 One that runs on muscle-power and is homemade as I see it. A real power hammer doesn't work that way. Check around 1:30 - he is using his leg to stomp a pedal that powers the hammer strike.

    I want to thank you. I will not be a blacksmith, though after watching you working wood with all the handtools, like a handdrill, I got myself those tools, and am now learning to work with those. It makes me less depending on electricity. I think electricity will go down in the near future, and it will be important to have the tools and the knowledge how to use those. Most people here only use the powertools, and don't even have the old tools anymore. I'm grateful! I hope you will have your drivers license soon! Much love!

      @g % Not too long ago Puerto Rico was without electricity for a year or so, over a hurricane, earthquakes can cause trouble with the electric net, if it is a nuclear plant, there is a whole list of things that can happen, and so on. What I am waiting for is a big CME, for there are all kinds of issues in space. A CME can burn the transformators used for the net, and those are humongous, so not easy to replace. There are not even enough to replace them, and it takes a while to make one. There are lots of things going on. You can try Sott with the series Earthchanges, and if you want to see even more, try WSO, or any of the many other channels that are looking into things. I am not going to say more here, for if you want to know, you can find it all. Be it that nobody can say for sure what it is, and what it will bring. Have a great day!
