The Craftsman

A really good show. Love Mr. Hollenbeck; he is such a great old dude. I love his spiritual nature. My only complaint sis I wish they would spend more time in his fabulous workshop. His machines are amazing.

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! 💗😁👍🏻

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.

Growing up in Humboldt county had been a gift and this show is a wonderful expression of that gift. Both sides of my family have been in this country for hundreds of years and I love this show for its glimpse into one of the most beautiful arts and piece of American history our country holds...the Victorian home. Thank you Eric and family for your dedication to this art and thank you so much for sharing through this wonderful show! All yes!

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.
