A series of four videos that document the process of making of a Japanese Katana, from smelting to polishing. The amount of skill, effort & dedication demonstrated by the craftsmen in this videos is as impressive as the finished product.

A simply superb short film of a man executing his craft from start to finish. The hand-made custom bike frames are impressive on their own, but everything about this video is inspirational. From the expert use of tooling to the well refined processes, the camera angles to the soundtrack, this really adds fuel to my dimly burning creative fire.

I'm also a bit of a science and space geek, and you'll eventually encounter some, philosophy, travel articles, scenic photography and music.
