Don't get me wrong guys I love all the videos but the ones with Cy in them are the priceless ones He is a treasure I could listen to him for days

We need a Cy Special in 2022. Sit this man down and have him tell stories for a few hours straight, what a life!

I have known some "old-timers" like Cy, and been mentored by some of them, never really appreciating the honor and true value of knowing these men from another time. I'm in my mid-fifties now and look back with love and gratitude, I try and pass on the things I learned. Thank you for sharing Cy with all of us.

Can't get too much Cy! I think I could watch and listen to Cy for days. Please, please, please keep recording and sharing Cy's recollections.

Cy is certainly an American treasure, always good to see him.

After hearing a few of Cy's stories, I guess we're lucky to still have him around.

The callus in this man's heart and hands are what keep his heart ticking everyday. Never stop Mr.Swan!

There just isn’t anything better than hearing about a seasoned persons life’s stories. Thank you!!

It's really nice to have old friends like Cy.

Please keep with the Cy Swan videos I can listen to him for hours. Just a wealth knowledge pours out of this man. I wish him a long, happy, and healthy life with no misery or sorrow. Please do more videos of this great American.

The detail Cy remembers is astonishing - shucks, I struggle to piece together what I did a month ago. What a true bad-ass! Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!

One of my favourite parts of EC is the interviews. Cy’s a legend not just a man

Please get as many of these videos with Cy as possible! I absolutely love listening to him tell stories.

I could set and listen to this guy every evening the rest of my life and die with a smile. Thank you for sharing.

Lord knows we can't get enough of Cy's wisdom and experiences.. Would listen to him talk for months.. Thanks Scott👍👊

This mans life needs to be chronicled; he recalls a world and times that the present day generation cannot conceive of. Always a pleasure to hear him speak.

Starting the new year right, with almost half an hour of Cy Swan. Thank You!

Cannot get enough of Cy. A true mans, man. Scott, Nate, the way you just prompt him and let him go is genius, it is refreshing to see an "interviewer" not feel the need to be a big part of the conversation.

Fascinating man. He has forgotten more adventures than I will be on in my entire life. Thank you Scott for recording his stories for us to enjoy for a long time coming.

Man everytime I hear Cy talk inhear my grandpa wilburn. Loved the stories from my grandfather of riding horses and chasing coyotes and picking cotton. I for one am very thankful that you have these videos. Made me go back and remember all those old stories my grandpa told me. Cheers brother. Looking forward to more

Just like talking with both of my grand dads back in the 60's and 70's. Sit back and listen..... This was special for me.👍

Thanks for the memory... I had all but forgotten about Dads 5 gallon bucket of bent nails. Good times!!! I have a 1941 9N, 80 years old and she still loves to work...

Please keep the Cy stories coming. Thank you so much for documenting these stories.

Ok, I'm ready for another fireside chat with Mr. Swan. I remember when my dad was getting down with cancer I made extra time to just sit around and ask him probing questions, just to hear the stories one more time. These men lived in a magical time, they lived hard and worked harder.

I could listen to Cy for hours at a time thank u so much for bringing a real live treasure to all of us

“I didn’t get much done on that knife.” I feel this in my soul, Mr Swann. Thank you for the stories

this is youtubin'. i need ta no what he was runnin' for a power saw when cuttin' timber ,, great guy

Man I could listen to these ol guys all day. We are losing them too fast . Most in my family are gone with all these valuable stories.

What a great way to start 2022! Thank you. Cy is someone that represents what our country is all about. He is an American Treasure! I always stop what I am doing to watch a Cy episode. Please continue to include him on your channel and be a part of what you share.

What an amazing life. These experiences and stories are what the newer generations are missing.

I could listen to him for hours. Cy is a national treasure.

As bad as I read it was during the depression Cy Swan is an example of how it hardened people gave them an independence and ability to improvise and overcome. Soldiers in WW-II were depression era survivors with that never quit attitude that won the war. Thank you for preserving Cy Swan memories.

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on video but I must say I really enjoy the variety of this channel. Craftsmanship, work ethic, small business, family and friendship, just to name a few. I could also listen to 100 hours of Cy Swan stories. What an amazing guy!

Absolutely LOVE stories with Cy! What a man!

So interesting to hear these old stories and you have to think how lucky Cy is that he is still alive. Farm accidents can be deadly and happen everyday. I think Cy knows this too but just keeps going, an example to us all I think. Keep it up.

I just love Cy. He is a treasure.

Please keep making videos of Cy telling his amazing stories !

This man is a treasure, I could listen to him talk all day long

I appreciate this

Cy and Scott, two of the toughest, most useful men ever. Happy New Year, and may you both enjoy many more!

Cy your tough as a coffin nail and funny to boot. Your a great guy. Thanks for having him on your channel Nate and Scott

Cy needs a weekly show about his life.

Cy is an amazing guy ! Love hearing his stories!

I always love watching Cy. I could listen to him all day. Like listening to my grandpa that passed. Treasured memories.

I must Cy has a unique way of finding the positive in everything. I could imagine lessening to his story for hours on end . Thank you for sharing .

I love sitting around listing to the older generation talk and teach. So much we can learn from them. Their knowledge is priceless what they teach us and pass down to us.

Cy seems to be remarkable but he is really a living symbol and reminder of a lot of such people who have passed on with their stories. He is proud of being employed early in the video and epitomizes the working man.

This is just pure gold, i could sit and listen to this content all day long. Many thanks. David in the U.K.

Every chance you get, take it. Time is fleeting and the world needs to see what Cy and the men Like him were made of who built this country out of the raw ground. A true national treasure.

Mr. Swan is a national treasure. A real American. I was born in the wrong era. How blessed are the people to have the great pleasure to know someone with such a wealth of knowledge who lived while living was hard. Cy Swan is the definition of American Grit.

I've been waiting for this forever. I've been watching his old videos on repeat. This is the best gift i got!

There was one man I've know in my live that had the old school mentality of Cy. He died a few years back, the greatest thing I learned from him was to know that when some men talk, you shut up and listen. I've learned more from men like him than any other way in my entire life

Thank you thank you for capturing history. Cy is one you should interview many more times. These stories are going to become non existent one the near future. Thanks again.

Cy is a solid legend!!!! Love his stories.

My wife and I discuss Cy’s stories over the dinner table. Her Dad was from an Oklahoma cattle ranch. When about 7, his dad drove cattle from SE of Moore to OKC stockyard, through land now known as Tinker Air Force Base. Love what you do, Scott

As many other's have too, I've learned a lot through watching your channel. But my favourite part is listening to Cy. You just can't beat it. Please film as much as you can of him and his stories. People often don't give the older generations any time because most are not up with technology. However they have lived twice or triple our lives so they sure know some interesting things. Always be willing to listen and learn is my motto. Cheers for the content guys! Appreciate it.

Brings back a lot of memories about my grandparents and the old farmers I grew up around.

I will also say what has been stated many times over on your comments section. Scott is the reason for excitement to watch the videos. But when Cy is the one who centered with his stories of past it reminds me of my great grandfather and my grandfather. This holds a special place In my heart for what older generations have done and still do through knowledge. This makes me never feel that I can’t do something and build and or accomplish anything. Thank you very much for these videos and I hope the very best for this new year for you all. God bless. Keep them coming.

As a guy who grew up missing the whole "father" side of my family, I greatly appreciate all that guys like Cy and the EC have to offer

That was fantastic. Living history being retold. You are a very skilled at interviews , allowing your guest to time to talk and remember. Happy New Year to you all, especially Cy

talks with Cy are cool, love listening to old-timers no matter where they are from. lol i straightened nails for my dad he saved em all lol fond memories these talks are also an important record of history and culture from the people who lived it with luck these digital records will stand the test of time and be around for the young people to see for a long time

Hah! There are several coffee cans of bent nails over in our shop. The most valuable ones are the big spikes we use for rail fences. I’ve straightened hundreds on the anvil and repointed them on the grinder. I don’t recall dad ever throwing away a nail or a staple.

Great stories. Makes me wish I'd asked more questions of my Grandpa, and the farmer I worked for in high school. Now I have my own can of bent nails, but don't plan to straighten them until I run out of straight ones and need them...

I remember once telling my grandfather that I was digging basements for work. He was born in 1920 or so. He told me he dug a basement before, with a horse and a plow. Amazing.

Pure joy listening to you folks and Mr. Swan's interesting life. Pure joy. Kindest regards to you all over the great pond. Keith.

I love Cy's stories. Im 69 and was raised in Amador county. We moved in about '58 and the ranch near our puny house did the same hay harvesting and barn storage. I remember seeing it and playing in the hay loft. They had an outdoor kitchen, chickens, outdoor oven and stone grinding wheel. They had hand pump water well, no tractor and one big horse. The owners main job was working for the railroad so this wasn't done for profit. Just to feed the big horse and the milk cow. His stories bring back memories of what the gold rush area was like back in the 60's. There were cows everywhere. This year my dad would have been 101. Happy new year.

The work must be done. To be a real man is a jewel now . There are many I know that are there with him. Once again he is what he is .

The second I see Cy in the title and thumbnail I know we’re in for a treat. This video went by too fast; more stories from Cy please! It’s great to think that we’ll have these videos forever!

The stories of Cy Swan are so detailed and special. Thanks to you for encouraging him to share these with the rest of us. You can almost close your eyes and see what he is describing. Never get too much Cy. Always wanting more!

These talks are golden, it reminds me of talking to my grandfather. Please keep these talks going, I'm sure that Cy enjoys them too. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

This video makes me think of the song Amazing Grace. It makes me think of the word American 🇺🇸. Scott and Cy are the true definition of Americans. The true definition of a professional and Craftsman. I loved the guitar in the beginning. Great touch to set the mood. I don’t know where the hell ive been but I’m a new subscriber to EC 🤷🏼‍♂️. But a new proud one. Absolutely by far hands down the best construction educational channel on KZfaq. Heartwarming stories, top notch craftsmanship and work, and all around it’s a dose of what this country needs. You won’t find any hate or mean spirited comments from this channel. Absolutely no negativity generated here. Scott, Nate…. My hats off to you guys for bringing some sunshine to a darkened time in this world. You bring hope and inspiration to a fellow like me. 🙏❤️💪👍 Sincerely, Brandon Sexton “ Concrete Finisher” from Louisville Kentucky

I used to watch Wranglerstar for the same reason I watch Essential Craftsman. I want to be a good and knowledgeable man and know how to run my house and garage/shop the best way I can. Now I just watch Wranglerstar when I don't have the will to do anything else, and after watching EC, let me put it this way..., I'll be putting my boots on in a minute. Thanks for the influence!

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said by others, so "ditto". Thank you (and thank Cy) for sharing. Truly delightful.

Wow, Really Enjoy these interviews with Cy!! Reminds me of listening to my Dad and Uncles talking about ranching and logging. They are gone now and I wish I would have captured those stories. PLEASE continue this type of content. It is Priceless!!! Les From Eastern Oregon

Double 👍👍. Always enjoy Cy stories. It’s how America was built. His story’s are similar to many guys here in New Zealand.

Love listening to Cy, I have been fortunate to have had a grandfather and a great Uncle who were tough as nails and knowledgeable. I always loved hearing their stories about their younger days. Learned allot from both. Cy reminds me of them.

Thank you Cy for sharing your stories

Thanks for having Cy on again. I'm having troubles in life right now. So it's a blessing to have Cy's stories right about now. A good distraction from bereavement.

Love these videos. People are too in a hurry these days, to take the time to learn some knowledge from experiences. I remember when I was younger and my grandfather took me over to one of his buddy's that worked on old steam engines. The first hand knowledge and living history was priceless.

Oh Scott & Nate, you are so fortunate!! Sy is such a treasure! Thank you for sharing him with us.

I enjoy all your videos very much but Cy is the best, a wealth of knowledge and stories and experiences.

you gotta love hearing old stories from from " the old timers" and I say that with all due respect!

great stories, good ol days. thanks for sharing Cy.

I'm the man I am today in part from the stories and wisdom the ol timers like Cy shared with me. Thank you guys and thank you Cy for taking the time.

I can't remember the amount of time I have spent straitening nails as a kid. Boy that brings back the memories.

This gentleman is pure gold.

Scott, you are blessed to have Cy in your life. He is a treasure. Thank you for the video.

I'm so glad I have a knife made by this man.

What a Treasure!!! Thank you Mr. Swan!!

I’ll watch a video of Cy Swan every week, if y’all make it, I’ll watch it.

Love Cy. You need to do as many episodes with him as you can.

Man the knowledge that Cy has is so cool

This person ladies and gentlemen, is what you call a man! Here’s to Sunnyslopes and days gone by thank you.
