I loved this video. As a female woodworker it’s hard to balance family time since we have a large family, but my legacy for me is my children and grandchildren but that’s me. I so enjoyed watching Lorelei work.

Lorelei has a real talent to teaching, you could feel her love for what she does, and both of you combined with your love of working with metal, made gor a very interesting show, loved it,.

I think I found my new binge channel. Problem is, as she stated, time management is the key so I will be watching while I work on crafts of my own =))

Hello again Eric... I must say how much I enjoyed all of the crafts folk you introduced on your series; the crafts are a delight to hold and the creators seem so very happy in the role that they undertake. I live in London and am office based such a vast world from your visits. Firstly, there is space and secondly the demand is still there for these products. Thank you for your show and may 2023 be good for you

Eric , you videos are an inspiration for us all. I am slowly catching up with them all and taking my time doing it. Please don’t stop, it is a legacy. In Victoria, Australia we have a Lost Trades Fair that showcases many of the skilled trades that are rarely used in business these days. As a leather crafter I am always learning at every step of my custom projects & seeing you videos also initiates me to look deeper into other crafts that inspire me to improve & develop mine. Thank you.

Eric, you are an excellent interviewer. Your genuine enthusiasm brings out the best in your interview subjects. I’m working on a book with a blacksmith character and this video was very useful in understanding the basics of the process. Thank you!

This lady wrote the very first book I ever bought and read on blacksmithing. Now flash forward about 6 or 7 years and it's my full time business, passion, and obsession. I feel I found this video at the right time, to remind me of how far I've came and the reason why I fell in love with this craft. Thank you for all the videos you do. I would love the opportunity to interview my favorite blacksmiths.

Hi Eric, Greetings from the UK! I must say that you have a fantastic channel and your interviewing style is very relaxing, informative and engaging. I, like an other commentator stated has found a binge channel to watch and enjoy. Lorelei sounded like a very kind gentle woman who really knows her craft and is a good teacher.

I have my great-grandfather anvil don't know much about him but he was a blacksmith I've been forging for about 5 or 6 years now a lot of it is been trial-and-error but recently I have started studying under a very good blacksmith maybe someday I can actually say I am a blacksmith and like he says I work with my hands to feed my soul
