This is definitely my favorite KZfaq factory tour. Manufacturing for customer satisfaction rather than shareholder satisfaction for so many generations is incredible.

Emmerich is a perfect example of a company that gauges its days by the benefits it brings to the world over productivity and overall profits. There needs to be more companies in the world like that, and we need to support them. That journeyman tool chest has me itching to fly to Germany to buy one!

Speaking for myself, please don’t underestimate our interest in the house project. Even the “boring parts”!

Everything in the workshop made me giggle like a small child! Amazing quality on these stunning tools. I wish that company another 170 years of succses.

This company is reinforcing the reputation of high quality German products I learned of as a child. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. The tools that make the tools are also very impressive.

*Thank you Hans from E.C.Emmerich company for allowing Laura to film inside your factory, and to show us how your tools are made. It was most impressive indeed.*

Solche traditionellen Unternehmen sind einfach Gold wert! Sehr sympathische Menschen ☺️

Their pride in the making of the tools and your absolute joy in discovering all the small considerations and touches was infectious. I don’t do woodworking, but I enjoyed this video so much for that reason. And that essentials kit was just lovely. You can tell care went into the making and choosing of it. Super cool.

What a treat to get a peak into E.C. Emmerich, where they make the pinnacle of hand planes! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous footage!

As a female Mechanical Engineer in Australia, I loved all the machines that made the tools. What a pleasure to watch, thank you Laura.

With your vibes, I would watch a 2-hour-sanding-video with endless pleasure.

It's a very sincere compliment that you and your video crew have been the only people to make a video tour of their 170 year old company. Obviously they believe that your quality standards match or exceed theirs.

Tears popped into my eyes when you opened that big box! The care, precision, beauty of each and every element blew me away. The other thing I “saw” for the first time was how important the breath was in woodworking. Every time someone blew the dust away made me think they were actually blowing life into the tool. But I’m weird. Thanks for making every Sunday a happy day!❤🎉

I love seeing old workshops in action!

I am thrilled to see that a company here in Canada carries some of their products.

I really appreciate companies like this that keep up the quality of their products, year after year, creating things that will last forever. They say a bad carpenter blames their tools, but it is also a lot easier to do excellent work when you have the right tools.

Schön zu sehen,dass es noch solche Betriebe gibt. Diese muss man unterstützen. Danke Dir für die Einblicke.

The whole family audibly gasped when you opened the box. Love to get a tour of the contents.

I get major "Sendung mit der Maus" vibes :D and I´m so here for that ^^ Die Sendung mit der Laura :D

High quality tools by a conscience company and good people is a hard combination to beat. Thanks Laura ❤

Wow, what a coincidence. This is called "serendipity"; looking for something, and on the way, finding something much better. Gorgeous tools made by real craftsmen, with a LONG history. Good to see the younger generations like Ms Kampf here, continuing the tradition.

Watching the shaper make those matching cuts for the plane foot was very satisfying.

Its so nice seeing a company that takes pride in making their tools. They didnt have a line with all these workers just putting a part on the tools. Those guys were taking pride in it. Loved seeing this shop. Also love your shop Laura cause you keep it so nice n neat n clean n everything has a home.

Please take them up on the offer of a return visit, Laura. It was great to see a glimpse of a company working traditionally to such high standards.

I love this company Laura. (I have a couple of E.C.EMMERICH planes). The fact they've been going so long and their tools are still sold 80% within Germany and 20% the rest of the World shows that they're very well respected and understood in their home Country.

Einfach großartig zu sehen , das solche Firmen aufgrund ihrer tollen Produkte so lange existieren und zeigt das Qualität immer noch zählt. Ein kleiner Schatz der hoffentlich noch viele Generationen andauert und nicht irgendwann in einem riesigen Konzern untergeht. Gerne mehr solch schöner Beiträge und gerne auch längere Videos im allgemeinen. But Haus Liselotte has to go on.

More like a public service to your viewers than a commercial. Thank you for showing g us this little part of history maintained into the future. Quality never goes out of style!

Never change a winning team is de uitdrukking, liefde voor het product straalt er vanaf van het begin tot eind absoluut geweldig.

OMG, how fortunate to be able to visit such an amazing shop. I am totally in awe! I would spend forever just watching how everything is made.

Wow wow, what a gift! The Factory owner was great, the process was beautiful. I want one!!!

That "hinge mechanism" on the toolbox is just magical.

Wahnsinn, dass es sowas überhaupt noch gibt. Wo Tradition, regionalität und einfach gute Produkte über Profitmaximierung gestellt wird. Wirklich schön zu sehen.

Oh my goodness, that mobile shop box is a thing of beauty!

Watching those planes being made felt so sensual. Love watching people who are masters at their craft and take so much care in the making of each tool. Thanks for sharing them with us. 😍💯👌

wow. eine tolle und vor allem nette und respektvolle werksführung! man bekommt fast tränen in die augen, wenn du die schmiege montierst. und natürlich ein großartiger job von felix - so schöne ruhige bilder 👑🙌👏

Outsourcing brings the quality of the product down. It was so cool to see that, the company is amazing I wish there were more places like that around the world

That shop had some incredible machines. They were MAKERS from long long before makers were a thing.thanks for taking us along.

Danke für den Einblick in diese schöne Werkstatt! Jeder Tischler hat sie und die meisten schätzen sie sehr. Ich habe meine seit 30 Jahren und es gibt für mich nichts besseres. Werkzeug gemacht für ein ganzes Arbeitsleben. Seit über 170 Jahren. Was sagt man Heute so neu gedacht, Nachhaltig. 🤗👍

Those are Beautiful Tools, the shape of the horn, it was cool to see, and that they went through the War, and survived, and that they are locally sourced in your own Country. And the way that kit was made OMG, It is SO BEAUTIFUL, spaced, the way everything is there, and it flips up, Genius

I am happy I am not hearing about the house because it means it isn't going wrong, but I am really really glad to get updates

So nice to see a company focused on tradition and precision and making something the best it can be rather than focusing only on the bottom line. Super impressive! And Laura how wonderful for you to have made that acquaintance! That tool kit is just the thing so that you have what you need without having to stress and “reinvent the wheel” so to speak. Bravo to Mr. Emmerich and to you!

I love to see a business that is committed to doing what they do in the most correct way rather than the most cost effective.

That toolkit is awesome. Love how much this company cares about their heritage and quality.

I am not a maker and actually have no desire to do the work you do, BUT I love watching others create and I love your attitude to your builds: never-ending potential and opportunity to learn. And I LOVED this episode so much: finding other like-minded craftspeople supporting the local economy and focusing on those relationships (it's not just transactional, after all), and quality.

The reason they invited you and not a television company to tour the factory is that you are both intrested and have knowledge about tools. They did a great choise, and what a great tour it was. Any factory that has a 60 year old tape dispenser still in use has my respect, they know that things should last. And any person that appreciates that is my friend.

When Laura opened the toolbox, it reminds me of the toolbox in the toy story 2 when Woody is being repainted/fixed. They gave me the same awe

If my husband were to ever visit that shop (or yours) I would never be able to get him back out the door!!! He absolutely loves wood and all the tools that go with it! ❤❤

My father was a carpenter and had a wooden planer. Visiting this workshop would have been heaven for him 😊

Having tools that are made with such pride inspires the craftsperson to carry that same pride into their own work.

Wow, it's amazing how old school it all feels.

The tool box is a work of art.

Wow😮 Glückwunsch liebe Laura, dass Du das erleben durftest in solch heiligen Hallen zu weilen. Danke, dass Du es mit uns teilst. Eine Hörnchenfräse, wie geil, ich habe mich immer schon gefragt wie die wohl gefertigt werden. Soooo schöööön ❤ Vielen Dank

5 generations!!! This is so wonderful! It makes me use my favorite German word AUSGEZEICHNET! Couldn’t agree more with you Laura, thank you for sharing this. Love love love the shop, the way they take care of the wood and that obliquely joinery is absolutely beautiful! 💖

I so wish they were on Instagram. Reels of curly shavings coming off a plane? Pretty shots of their products and shop equipment? I'd be all over that!

Taking pride in the work they do and doing it themselves. ❤❤ THAT’S why they’re still in business 5 generations later.

Ah, what a treat to see inside the workshop, I am weak for wooden planes, and have a few E.C. Emmerich planes, one inherited from my father and two I have bought myself, fantastic quality at a reasonable price!

Thanks for sharing video of that visit. Having an engineering background back in the day I've always been fascinated by manufacturing processes and I felt your enthusiasm being there. I wouldn't want to leave ! I have an English made sliding bevel like that one - rosewood, brass and blued steel, with a matching try-square , purchased many decades ago as a schoolboy. Tools should be lovely as well as functional I think.

That was one of the best videos on your channel! It makes me want to see more of Laura out in the world, seeing places, and talking to people. The camera work and editing was so geil.

I love everything about this video, but the hinge mechanism on the mini shop is almost as awesome as the leather bench hinge.

I've owned ECE tools for several years. So lucky to be able to see how the tools are made! Thank you.

Thats why I love "Sendung mit der Maus" so much. I am really into old craftmanship and have a lot of respect for all that work and effort put into a product. I would love to visit a cobbler.

This is not only fascinating but it's brilliant how you can showcase an 170 year old business in this light thank you

My father treated himself to a number of ece planes in the 1970’s. I now own them and they are still like brand new and a pleasure to use! Love your video on the history, vielen dank!

I’m 71, live in the United States. My ancestors arrived in Baltimore, Maryland in 1867 from Leipzig. My great grandfather was 14 when he made to crossing. My grand father was a machinist for the B&O railroad. My father and uncle inherited his tools when he passed. They were both carpenters. I can remember several all wood planes. I wish I knew where they were now.

Their shop is truly impressive! Thanks for taking us on a little tour!

To make for such a company promotion, ,,,,,, fantastic!!! They deserve each minute!!!

When a company uses craftsmanship to make their tools, it makes you use them respectfully.

Laura, thank you for this video. I don’t see it as a commercial at all. But a tool geek, geeking out over some really cool stuff. How could you not be?

Awesome. The specialized machines. The care and respect for their craft. The toolbox. The pantograph lathe. Those shavings! Beautiful. Life hack: try planing rough wood instead of sanding it. It's faster. A sharp plane leaves a surface so smooth that finish won't adhere to it, so if you're putting something on the timbers, you can still do little a sanding. As a treat.

Super tour and amazing tools. Hand-crafted is always going to be the best quality and last the longest, so of course it's going to be what Laura goes for. Thanks for the amazing look inside a family business that has it down to perfection.

Thanks for taking us along to that fantastic shop. Enjoy your new tool box.

This toolbox is so beautifull! And intelligently made! I'd like to have one for the tools I use. I'm also in love with the people, the craftsperson who put quality before quantity. What they make has more soul, no matter what the field.

I remember an old video where artisans and workers were talking about their favourite tools and why they loved working with them so much. I think that a tool that feels just perfect in your hand, really makes a huge difference during the process and for the final product. In this time and age, where speed seems to be an unavoidable curse, it's so wonderful to see that there are established companies that still embrace the philosophy of quality over quantity and pride of your own work over monetary opulence.

WOW That was the thrill of a lifetime to step into a shop that made everything by hand.Making hand tools for you or I , in a way carrying on old world traditions from hand written directions, choice of raw materials from a local source, machinery for each step of production,the finest "tech" person operating these machines to create such a a balanced product.Much to be proud of in labor and country.Finest Quality from start to finish. So much is lost in automation, time study cuts, outsourcing parts, layoffs.This episode truly was a Royal Treat !! You could have saved those handmade curly cues from planer and made a "doll" (ok mascot) for your shop, it could be it's long curly hair.

Wow Laura, a real diamond of a company there, so wholesome and noble to be producing woodworking tools of the highest standard heart warming to visit the people who run the shop that make the high quality tools.

Craftsmanship warms the heart. And that is a beautiful toolbox/mini-workshop.

I honestly think there's a Renaissance out there for old school quality and durable goods. People are willing to support a business that focuses on sustainability and quality.

I can't even tell you how much I love well made tools. They are so beautiful. Thank you so much for taking us along on your tour. I was left wanting to see more.. better yet I would have loved being there in person and hearing aaaalll the history. Thank You!!

This was like watching one of my favorite episodes of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood! Such a good tour! There's something truly special about seeing the creation process when it's been fine tuned to that degree. You captured it beautifully!

Wow! The toolbox is so cool. Gotta love German engineering and top craftsmanship!

And now I'm in love with the hinge on that toolbox! 🤤 But yeah, slow dried lumber is definitely the best as it's the most stable.

Ooh, now I wanna see Steve Mould explain how you design that 4-bar linkage on the toolbox! It's amazing!

Thank you so much for this, and thank you to E.C.E. for inviting us in!

What a wonderful company. Thanks for sharing a place that does it right in every way.

Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing episode and a delightful change of pace. Not what I was expecting but what a treat!

What a complete JOY to see round their beautiful enterprise with such a great Soul, thank you so much for sharing Laura, I loved it. Good to see a tiny bit of the house being smoothed and soothed too!!!

Love this! I managed went to a local forge for work this last week and they're also a multi-generational shop that have been producing the same wrench since around 1850. It was so fascinating to see how some things haven't changed in hundreds of years.

These kinds of companies need no advertisement or skeevy backdoor sponsorship deals, their proof is in their result that they painstakingly perfect and anyone in the know is their biggest source of advertising via word of mouth.

This is one of the best show that you have had in a long time.

More like this! These small but much needed industries keep us focused on what's important in our daily lives. Mahalo

Love the enthusiasm , love the small, owner lead business. Great video!

I LOVE my E.C.E. planes - I have a full set. This was a treat. Thank you and thanks E.C.E. for the inside look!

I’ve just recovered a set of my great-grandfathers moulding planes. They’re made of boxwood and probably haven’t been used since the 1940’s, I guess they date from the late 19th/early 20th century. Apart from some surface rust on the blades, they’re as good as the day they were made.

I have owned one of their block planes for 40 years and I use it fairly often. I like it more than my steel block plane because it's lighter, it takes less effort to use. The toolbox you got looks good, but it's missing a saw, a drill, drill bits, and a mallet. Also, I'd swap the tri square for a combination square because a combination square has multiple uses.

It's great to see a company keeping up old traditions of tool making Laura. Your visit must have been a wonderful experience. Cheers Nobby

Oh, this is my kind of video...looking at hand-tools. I love planes, especially the old ones (I thought maybe I'm crazy .. .no, I don't think so)

These aren't just tools they are making...these are pure ART. It is so sad (for an old-timer like myself) to see how the quality of consumer goods has degraded over the years, all in the name of profit. It is so heart-warming to see that there are still companies out there that still believe in, and strive towards, "Customer Satisfaction" over mass production of 'cheap' goods. That toolbox you got there is a treasure chest. Cherish it. Protect it....

NICE TOY BOX!!! That is one of the things that I love about the old world. Long-term usability. On to the start of something really Fantastic. Thank you. Have fun today.

I'm a cabinett maker. (or was) trained in a one man shop back in late 60'th. I got very 'hungry'( can't find the right word) seeing that shop. Thanks for the tour back memory lane to a time where quality was king.
