This video from Gough Custom Knives just floored me -- his shop is so clean, & his work so measured... This was 12 minutes of video worth watching, especially for those of us who have aspirations to make beautiful knives ourselves.

I started out sewing by hand, and later bought a heavy duty machine. I've actually been giving serious thought to selling my sewing machine and pursuing other hobbies.
