Beautiful and inspring documentation. Thank you !

"A deep understanding of what you are doing..." is at it's core...the reason we are attracted to our professions...our craft. Today's rush to certify instead of really understanding the foundation stones of 'Making'...is partly due to a greed of wanting more at our finger tips...when ever it is required. The reality of Craft requires pause...reflection...and intentional excecution. Few are called...even less attain the Mastery of their unique interest. Thanks for sharing this video of dedication and love for 'Craft of Making...of Doing.' John...ah Retired Architect. 🇹🇹

Amen. I cannot count how many times visitors to my studio expressed a sense of envy for my guitar making and repair work. And yet, as a craftsman and an an artisan, I often feel like my life's work exists on the fringes of the "real economy". My customers often make much more money than I do. And yet, their satisfaction with the world they inhabit is often difficult to see. Individuals we reward with high pay and prestige, often feel like widgets in the inscrutable, impersonal machinery of modern market economy. We do need to expand the definition of knowledge and skill to include those who make our daily existence beautiful. Thank you for this video.

Well said! It’s like our presence in the world comforts “them”,but…so ,we keep doing what we love and learn to sing!

We are very proud of this documentary! It has been produced by Maikel Kuijpers, Noël Schoolderman and financed by the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Global Heritage and Development www.globalheritage.nl

I make my living from my leathercraft, and this video just says it all, it very nearly brought me to tears. Thank you.

I wish every school student could see this.

Johnny build was a great addition to, once again, just a wicked project and video!!!!

Peter Bignell, Belgrove Distillery. There was the violin maker, the barber, the wine maker and I am the Whisky maker using my nose and taste buds to guide my craft. I totally agree with that presentation.

I have a trade and a university degree and yes it's a pitty we don't better regard the process of learning a trade, lovely video

I also keep coming back to this documentary - usually after a conversation with somebody about developing a skill and not expecting to just "get it" right away... whether in advanced technologies or in performing or in "art" itself. I came here again after seeing how woodworker friend built a magnificent spiral staircase and prior to seeing these images of his work, I'd only known him as a fellow motorcyclist. I've used this as a "reference" in working with interns in my line of work. The interns who can be moved to tears on seeing this are the ones worthy of encouragement.

Hello, I'm a student who is studying craft in South Korea. I want to share this great video with more Koreans, so I want to provide korean subtitles. I have already completed the Korean translations. If you turn on the community contributions function, I'll add Korean subtitles as soon as possible. Thank you!

Somehow, this video and its learnings should be seen by all Architects, especially the Starchitects of the world.......Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas,,,,,,,all the rest. Perhaps it will entice them to actually re-think their designs and actually work with those physically making their buildings. Well, maybe then again, the starchitects have already migrated their construction works to AI controlled 3d printers and 5 axis robots?

Tools are are just more complex.

The dayly word: handmade

nice

Yes

My first career I was a graphic designer and film stripper before the days of the computer. Once the computer came in and took the craft away I quickly lost interest.

I'm sorry it's becuase the modern world is living by the trend and they don't put too much importance in something that's beautiful.

What I think will happen in the future is that as we leave the era of scarcity, we will enter a new, massively different era. This new era will be an era of plenty, and of no longer having to work to live. You want something? Your 3D printer at home will make it in minutes. This automated era will mean there will be no jobs either, but what's the point of jobs, if you don't NEED to work, because everything can be automated or 3d printed? So what will happen? People will try and find new meaning in life, through various skills, such as artistic ones, acting, sculpting, painting, cooking or phisical skills such as sports, or intelectual skills such as trivia or chess or other games. So yes, the future is hand made, because in an era of plenty where everything is made automatically, hand made objects will be even more revered and even more apreciated.

It's funny, after decades of carving waxes by hand as a goldsmith, the new reality is "growing" waxes by computer and printer. I hope, as this film suggests, handmade will always be needed, alongside the need for computer generated items. We will always need jobs though, as we'll never computer generate our food.
