I love watching these guys at their craft. Thanks to Tom Bandy for letting me hang out in his shop.

I used to enjoy that too. I had a friend that was amazing. I would hang out with him in his shop while he made knives out of saw blades and hasps. I have a dozen of his knives. Love the craft. Dave tried to teach me, but I was to busy to learn, I thought. Nice captures.
