The Craftsman

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.

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.

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.

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! 💗😁👍🏻
