    Very nice John, roughly 2 hours doesn't seem so bad to accomplish what you did. Granted, everyone will have their own speed, but this definitely gives you the sense of time it takes.

    A fantastic look at an axe making, i have never seen a whole conference only snippets on KZread and may never see one in real life. I am having trouble finding another blacksmith let alone a guild/club. Really enjoyed the series and the things i have learnt from your video.

    There are about 80 in attendance, but not everyone sits in on every demonstration. We also have TV monitors in a few locations outside the shop, so some people watch from there.

    Rolf Olson Take a look at the Corradi Gold series rasps, also. They are machine cut, but a former editor of Popular Woodworking told me that they were almost as good as the Auriou rasps.
