I remember a while back someone posted a video they made of a Scottish blacksmith making a blade. He was old and a bigger guy with a heavy Scottish accent. It was also a vimeo video.

I can't believe you thought he was Scottish haha.

Regardless, that was a great video, reminds me I could do with a decent knife, the axe I got made is fucking phenomenal.

Haha I am not sure what I was thinking. I almost want to get into blacksmithing now, it looks so fun and rewarding.

Its basically a art, its crazy to think a while back this is what made everything. If you wanted a new glidecam you would have to take it to the local blacksmith haha

There's a good story about Eugène Christophe and how he broke his bike during the tour de france, walked 10km with his bike to a blacksmith, spent hours welding his bike back together, and still finished the race.
