Just thought I would share this wonderful, peaceful video on traditional metalworking from a small village in what looks and appears to be northern India. I think everyone here can deeply appreciate the craftsmanship and skill displayed here. It’s short, a perfect tranquilizing 11 minutes, great for a coffee break:
I especially love how the artisan refers to his work as “giving life into the metal.” That’s certainly how it feels when I am holding something traditionally built in my hands, like there is life coursing through it.
