The Craftsman

Having lived in California's north coast communities, I have a deep sense of memory where the hands-on craftsman energy is concerned, having worked with all sorts of builders, artists, loggers... This show features a family that carries on the hands-on traditions of mostly forgotten skills in creating and restoring using techniques that are the soul of a simpler time, a time devoid of hurrying and relying on complex outsider technologies. It is inspiring, humorous, and warm-hearted, and for those of us who long for a time without all this technological nonsense and superficial cookie-cutter materialism, The Craftsman is a much-needed reprieve and reminder that we don't need to race forward into an abyss of mundane disconnection from the planet Earth.

Eric is a beautiful old soul that truly loves his work and the spirit of what he does.

A master craftsman that has a heart for nature and the amazing redwood trees he so adores.

Don't miss this feel good masterpiece.

So so good.

We need more happy good feeling TV like this. It was a real pleasure to watch and see how things are done in Eurkea California. I REALLLY enjoyed learning the history of the Blue OX mill.

A most positive family viewing experience for ages 8 to 108! This one showcases not only the Craftsman's amazing skill but the simple yet profound wisdom that he's developed along the way. It proves the paradox that to truly keep something we must be willing to give it away. What he's created from his life and his willingness to share it with us is the true masterpiece! Thank you to all involved in bringing this gem to life!

I just happened upon this gem because my friends have Magnolia Network and I was pet sitting. I really hope it becomes a hit. It is really wonderful! I'm hooked already and I can't wait to see more. His philosophy on life and caring for and saving of beautiful historic woodwork along with his love of the woods is just a way of thinking we're losing in our modern world. It's a bit of a documentary style. I really love it and feel like everyone should be watching it. I learned history and the show made me laugh and smile too because The Craftsman is a character and has a great sense of humor. Please watch and share. You will be happy you did! 💗😁👍🏻
