That’s all I could think too.

I made candles in the early '90s for the family potpourri business, and I had a disc full of proper measurements and dies and essential fragrances. It takes a lot. Kudos to anyone still doing it the old fashioned family way 👍

Nice candles!

Ash is useful for this bc it doesn't shrink as much as other woods, so the head of the hammer can stay on longer.

I always find these shows interesting.

Nice

Serious answer to your joke; the rock came first. Bash some metal on a rock with a rock, making a crude hammer head. This becomes your new hammer. Now bash some metal on a rock with your hammer until you have a roughly flat surface. Strap this surface to the top of a log; this is now your anvil. Now you can create a cleaner, less crude hammer, and the tools needed to forge a proper anvil. Congrats, centuries of metal work innovation has been summed up in five sentences.

I'm surprised the commenter didn't say the hammer could be used for percussive maintenance as well. Normally "How it's made" uses a lot of puns.

Candles and hammers? Was this episode filmed in my trunk?

The mechanical hammer is just called a power hammer, and the pedal is called a treadle. The steel isn't compressed during a punch, most of the material is pushed outwards. That was a spring fuller, not a spring swage The eye contoring tool is called a drift, and is used to shape and to stretched out the punched hole. I shouldn't have watched this episode, but I was excited by something I love

Has this narrator ever narrated an Audio book? If so what, if not who is his manager?

Brooks Moore is his name, and I don't think he's done any audiobooks. He's basically just been the narrator for this show (with the exception of seasons 9 & 10) since it debuted in 2003, as well as other programs for the Discovery Channel and the other networks related to it

I'm surprised The Craftsman [tm] still has fingers. No gloves in that country, I guess 🤔

They’re made in central California. Gloves often make power tools more dangerous and they make it harder to feel what you’re doing

Imagine paying all that money for a hammer thats no better than a mass produced one

I've been obsessed with metalworking all my life and have done a fair bit myself - they're definitely leagues above mass produced hammer. I do think they're overpriced, but it's also made by a man who cares about his product, who knows his steel, and swings a hammer more times in a day than most people do in a lifetime. It's supporting a small business and getting a tool you know will make your job easier for the rest of your career

Was that really a filling machine though? Looked like a rinsing machine to me. Its ok, its a common mistake
