The Craftsman

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!

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.

This journey thought the story of a man and craft give you a lot to ponder. The show gives you a real appreciation for someone who has spent a lifetime honing their craft. You will pick up life lessons and get to know a loving family who gives so much back to their local community. This is a great show and I cant wait for the next episode!

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.

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.
