Something to think about...

"Whereas today's implements are designed with the idea of 'getting a job done quickly,' there was an added quality to the early implements and an added quality to early workmanship too. For, like the nails on a beast's paws, the old tools were so much an extension of a man's hand or an added appendage to his arm, that the resulting workmanship seemed to flow directly from the body of the maker and to carry something of himself into the work."

tai goo video project

I have not done much in the past months in large part because of a video I have been working on for Tai. We filmed this first video on the basics of forging for the bladesmith. I am just putting the finishing touches on it now. I didn't realize how much work it is to edit and put something like this together. I would say I've put in at least 50 hours at the computer just editing. I took it up to Tai's place today and Jeff, Tai, and I watched it together. Tai seemed pretty pleased with it. I'm not sure how soon Tai will be getting around to actually putting it on the market, but it will be well worth buying. I have never seen anyone who can wield a hammer like he does.

I am sure that it will be a very good video. Tai Good makes amazing knives! Make sure you remember to post a link to it when he puts it on the market!
