Calming to watch.
Thank you
Wow, I love old trades like this.
Beautiful film and incredible craftsmany
A beautiful film about a beautiful craft. I'm glad Mr. Neal has found apprentices to carry on the tradition.
Wonderful video!!! It was so emotional and a great pleasure to watch. Congrats to Lawrence for his passion and amazing chairs.
Brilliantly filmed. Amazing workshop space. Love how light peaks in.
Stunning film, beautiful lighting & sound to accompany Lawrence Neal. Really comes across how much in love with chairs he is and the importance of keeping the craft alive
Really nicely filmed. While apprentices are certainly great to have....we can have the knowledge of these craftsman survive...by permanently recording the processes of the craftsman rather than by teaching people. Processes can be learned via many forms. Someone could film all of Mr. Lawrence’s steps and processes for making a chair....problem solved.
A wonderful story of the importance of craftsmanship, beautifully filmed.
Would Give Anything To Have A Craftsman such as he to teach me. Wonderful Production.
❤
What’s better the illusion created by the video editor and the camera persons. Or the craftsman’s romantic solitude.
I have a set of Lawrence Neal chairs, and I am so proud of them.
I am an aspiring chair maker, this was an amazing mini doc. Fantastic work and display of the craft.
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?

@Jayson Miguel Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jayson Miguel It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Isaias Jeremy Glad I could help =)

Well done. An absolute pleasure to watch.
This was a great documentary and a beautiful story
Superb!!
Wonderful
Thank you
Amazing
What a great video.
Wow very meaningful
WOW
Lawrence has trained a couple of apprentices, Sam Cooper and Richard Platt.
Sublime... Contrary to the popular belief, increased automation and AI in manufacturing will only serve to emphasize the value of 'hand crafted'. It is the very 'human' imprecision that carries more wonder than an automated and precise product can ever come close to matching.
Beautifully shot and... Sublime?

What are your other 2?
lawrence aught to start teaching his skills. Charge enough money to continue making his living. Its so do able in thismday and age...as hand crafting is now rare..where is back in thenday...thats all there was! He could do it i believe. More money in teaching now days than there is in making.
I'm a chair maker to
I feel genuinely sorry for you
Why
This video could have done with a lot less pathos and a lot more focus on the craft.
