- This is the second part of a short documentary movie that shows the whole process of how Northmen tools are being hand crafted.
"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
Mahathma Ghandi

This almost makes me regret what I've been doing with my life - my childhood dream was to be a blacksmith, and seeing you two and the level of skill that you have...I only wish I could have spent more time developing some sort of skill, something that I can proudly say I was good at. Amazing video, you are truly artisans of your craft.
its newer too late
@@artursandins - Lol, appreciate the supportive words.D In the last decade I haven't picked up blacksmithing, but I will be buying a house soon and will hopefully have a shop to work in!
I love the mix of theold school skills and the laser etching cnc. Perfect.
thanks. we will make the "Part III" in a while about scandinavian knife making.
Please another video
sick skills, envy the dedication, life style and location
John... I watch this movie when I am sad or when I want to motivate myself to go forge. It's such a spiritual experience, to watch You working wth Your hand, to hear Bon Iver. Best wishes from me and my family. Maybe someday I'll visit You :) I have only 1020 km to You :)
Your craftsmanship really touched my soul. amazing & beautiful.......
Love the craft, the videography, the music choice. Top notch!
Amazing. I love your products. Since i was child i always dreamed to do a job like yours. You are the best!
Did you become a blacksmith?
I would LOVE to learn how to do the things that you do in your Birth of a Tool videos. You craftsmanship is beautiful !!!! You are a dying breed good sir and that surely is a shame.
I have watched these so many times. I find inner peace. Zen. 🙏🏻 thanks
if CZcams had Grammys then these two videos together should clean house in all catagories. Moving. I want that pair of tools!
I love that there are some of us in this world that still try our best. Good luck to you.
These videos are so relaxing. I had a really stressful day and then I found your videos. Thank you for making these.
Who would dislike this?! Good cameraworks, good music, amazing works of arts... Seriously!
thank you so much for using Bon Iver with this video! true craftsmanship
Texan_Strongstorm what song was it
@@fullerva1 Re: Stacks
Wow. Having forged basic flat and point chisels for stone carving, this blows my mind. Beautiful.
It's nice to see someone make one thing, from start to finish, and do it perfectly with such skill.
I keep coming back to these videos. seems like the perfect life.
LOVE these videos...Makes me want to get back out in the shop!
One thing did bother me.....
NEVER wear a long sleeve of ANY KIND while working with a lathe...I worked with metals and around a LOT of lathes..the things that have happened to people for making such a mistake could literally make you cringe at just the site of one.
No safety glasses while putting his face next to a spinning lathe...
(don't get me wrong, I love this guy and these videos are amazing)
ChristmasLights And the wiggly anvil... He's clearly not German.
Rion Rich I'm bothered by the absence of women in these videos...
Only bearded men in sweaters
@@sharonsharon2604 From my perspective the only reason that it shows a bearded guy in a sweater is that he's the one making the tool. If it was a woman making the tool I have no doubt it would show the woman. What these videos focus on is not the patriarchal tendencies of contemporary society; these videos focus on the process of turning raw materials into tools and buildings. If you desire to see women featured in these videos i suggest checking out "The Birth Of A Wooden House." which is also featured on this channel, it details the crafting of the house in which, Jacob, the founder of Northmen, his wife, and their daughters, live. Though there are no female woodworkers shown, it shows both splendid craftsmanship and a deep love of family that shows us why men and women go to the lengths they do in order to cultivate human connection for both themselves and their children.
Just ordered my 3 5/8 flat slick! Can't wait to use it.
Have you gotten it yet? If so, how is it?
@@landminehopscotch3617 it’s really nice, sorry so long answering this. :)
Wow that was so nice to watch...Thanks for your good work
Very Nice! Tools like that last over a 100 years..Enjoyed this!
Your videos, product, method, skill, craftsmanship, etc.. are all amazing. I have never felt less like a man then after watching your videos
This is a thing of beauty just to watch a true craftsmen apply his skill and make something as beautiful as the items you make.This is something I have longed for as a occupation it is simply inspiring to me to strive to reach that perfection.Keep doing what you do sir I can not speak for the rest..I will watch like a wide eyed child full of wonder.
these videos are great, i could watch them all day
I really don't do that much wood work to justify having this magnificent tool, but omg, I so want one!!!
man i dont know what it is but watching these types of vids is something peaceful about it..
I love bon iver and axes and these videos oh my gosh can i apprentice with you guys?
A true craftsman. You make it look easy. A very good melding of old and new technology.
Demn, I would pay, just to stand in his worshop and observe this man at work.
A Slick chisel!!!! You inspired me to try making one in the future. Thanks!!!!
Just received my chisels from these Craftsmen. Well worth the wait.
i love this series keep them coming. amazing craftsmanship!
can't wait to see it. You are an artist Sir.
This is art, right here. Everyone should have a proffesion like this.
I feel nothing but envy in it´s purest form...
Your work is amazing.
Outstanding video. Amazing to see a mixture of old and new world skills combined.
Damn you make me want to do this art. I want to move to the woods and start making tools now. DAMN YOU! such beautiful craftsmanship.
This is so amazing. I want to film work like this. Gahh love it. Very gifted.
Great video of your craftsmanship.
It smoothens the surface of the wood. It is like a polishing method.
Beautiful!
Got spooked by the guy at the end - he is my doppelganger from 30 years ago! :)
Amazing video Mr Neeman...I love to hear how 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' has played a part in your video...
My hat is off to you sir. Those are absolutely beautifully crafted tools. I am buying a draw saw from you next chance I get. Incredible. Thank is all I can put together to say.
The movie about Scandinavian Damascus knife making will come in autumn.
I love that he uses the chisel to thin out the handle that fits into said chisel.
Beautiful chisel, beautiful video
每一次看视频、听背景音乐和观看匠人的工艺，都是一种享受，希望有一天我也能打造一把自己的Tool
Works of art from a true artist !
You made my day!! What a talent and what a beautiful presentation. Not only are you a tool maker > but an artist to go with it !! Congratulations to you.
Any person that gives you a thumbs down > they are jealous and they are loooosers !!
Thank you. AAAA+++++
Your tools, the process you use and the video are all beautiful. Amazing work, can't wait for more!
My mind is relax... Thank you!
John, although young in years you are well seasoned, I wish I knew your inspiration (Father?) I would love to be a fly on the wall while you create your fine' art of the tool making' persona. It's harmony and a tribal rhythm of metal on metal that rings in my cyber ears. My grandfather could only tell me what it was like to hear a hundred war drums beating in unison, I would love to hear your hammer beating in time to the creation of a tool.
Beeswax--it coats and finishes the iron while bringing out the beauty of the forged metal.
True craftsmanship. Exquisite.
Hope to have one in my hands one day.
These are great, you may also consider releasing these without music, the sound of workshopping is great ASMR relax time.
This is a man of many talents. He is just amazing!!!
I love the music.
Why would anyone dislike this amazing video
Is it weird that I have watched this about 20 times this week?
Thank you for sharing your talent. Beautiful art.
Very nice. Fine craftsmanship.
More videos like this need to be made. Just the beauty of this, is phenomenal. the only thing i don't like is putting that beautiful handmade chisel in that laser cutter to engrave the name. maybe carve it instead?? would look a lot nicer and not manufactured
Didn't know that Ryan Gosling was such a good carpenter.... ;)
Just a joke, really nice work, with beautiful music and awesome video (love the depth of field, and wonderful sound).
Very nice work here. Rather surprised to see the PID temperature controller for the heat treat oven and the laser cutter for the logo though.
Very, very beautifully done!
I really like he still using bellows and coal! Good job man!
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful skill.nice to watch
Great work, great video.
I never thought i'm going to enjoy watching a video about making tools :)
❤ i want to go there .I do not want to stay with people who do not like and do not appreciate these high-end works.
This is such a motivating video. Thank you for sharing, its unique to see a man build and forge an object from scratch that we as society take for granted. Seems machines have over ran our abilities to create and work for something nowadays. Part III no doubt will be just as awe inspiring. Keep up the great work.
it gives a very fine polish, you do it just on the end, for a smooth surface
kinda relaxing watch your video,glad to be recommended
Amazing work, John.
Wow... talk about true craftsman. I love the birth of a tool video's. I do have two questions that maybe someone might be able to answer. Does anyone know what the honeycomb is used for? And why did the wood craftsman use wood shavings on the lathe?
So Beautiful, nice work
Make that seven..............John, I think both videos are brilliant.
Outstanding video!
Wow, chills down my neck!
From what I have seen and read, they are the best. I would love to get in line for one of their axes but I don't know how.
can I hang out with you for like...umm....forever? Awesome work man.
Just a suggestion, when hardening the blade portion it would help a great deal with the strength of the tool if you quenched it so that it's not just like 1 section were it's hardened and then it's just normalized at a sharp line like what you've done. That would be a very weak point in the tool. Try to elongate the hardened portion by heating less far up the blade, only heat what you need hardened, then quench the hole thing. This will make it so that there is no such thing as a weak point in the tool and it will last through much more use.
Amazing video. Love it
You guys are awesome! Totally look up to Jacob; being a carpenter myself. What CNC brand is that?
Amazing!
Absolutely amazing videos (meaning both parts I and II). I hope you will be making many, many more. Keep the Bon Iver soundtrack; it couldn't be a more perfect fit. You've inspired me to learn how to make something beautiful and useful.
Bon Iver is so perfect for this
Awesome vid.... a pleasure to watch. I use slicks like the one you made.
I'll look for more from you.
Thanks.
Wonderfully done
How do you even put this through any sort of hard work? Their such a piece of art, labor intensive art. Crafted with the upmost care and precision, how do you expect me to get any sort of work done with this. I would be so worried I'm using it wrong and chip an edge, or snap the handle, or who knows. If I owned one of these I don't know how I could ever bring myself to using it. But as a builder myself, I understand that if a tool is made, it is to be used. And these tools, these individual masterpieces, are dying to be used to the best of their abilities. I need to see one in person. I hope that they start taking orders again soon.
+Adam Slater I see what you mean, but I almost feel like they are a blank page, and the chips or scratches tell a story and it grows and personalizes the tool for you as it stays with you for your life. Eventually it will show your wear patterns in the handle and will become one of a kind, like your leather jacket and baseball glove. You can't ge tthat out of a $10 tool you can replace at Menard's.
+Steven Micko This is the truth. Yes, tools of this kind are meant to be used, but also cared for. Hit an old nail in an old timber and chip the edge; craft a new edge. These tools are timeless so long as they are owned by a craftsman who appreciates fine tools and knows the true value associated with them. Use them indeed. When their broke, mend them with your own hand with the care only a true craftsman can apply.
+Steven Micko Also, there may be times where for instance a slick can no longer be used for that purpose. However, that tool can be repurposed and made to do other things such as chiseling or hell maybe even splitting kindling to start your forge to make a tool of your own. Tools like these have a soul. The purpose isn't always what defines them. These don't come from Home Depot.
bees wax protects the steel from rust and corrosion as well as lubricates the steel when applied to an ax. the wood chips are used as a mild abrasive like sand paper to polish the wood.
Pure talent-- thanks for sharing..
beautiful tool really enjoyed your work
So beautiful!
Love the video! What does rubbing honeycomb do to the metal?
Your videos are incredible.
