"Hands" is a fondly remembered Irish television program that ran from 1977 until the early 80's and showcased some of the country's finest craftsmen and women.

ALL the HAND work is the best I ever saw. It used to be this way, here in the mountains of North Carolina

My clan has been in the mountains of NC for over 300 years and have been miners, farmers, soldiers and furniture makers. At 84 years old my father still does some of the most beautiful upholstery work you’d ever see. Although no longer working in the industry he stays very busy with work HE wants to do.

I remember watching this programme about the Robinson Brothers when it was first shown on TV in the 1980’s, and am still inspired now as I was then, and owe a big thank you to these guys for rousing me to take up the craft of cabinet making. We are so fortunate in that someone had the hindsight to film these guys and preserve their memories forever.

I remember watching this when I lived in Scotland, very inspiring, I still make furniture using all these methods, the craft still lives on

Thank goodness! Mass-production dictates quantity over quality. Pieces produced via hands of such skilled craftsfolk are long-lived & lovely, functional creations, unique even when made-to-form, as both wood & worker contribute to their cabinets' character.

Thanks for posting this lovingly edited series OtherLives. Dress everybody in period clothes, take away the cars, the electric and some of the equipment and we could be in the 17th century, even the conversations and curious kids wouldn't be out of place. Like many people I work with my hands and always liked to draw and copy but instead of cabinet making I went into lime plastering and learned about pargetting, making designs in plaster and mortar which. just like marquetry, has also been around for centuries.

Male pattern baldness seems to be rather high in England, Ireland and Scotland. Such clean living, you would think they would all die with a full head of thick hair. This isn't an important item, it just struck me as being an obvious fact. Nonetheless, wonderful video, wonderfully skilled people.
