    Can't help thinking he should make a table and save his poor knees.

    Outstanding work though.

    Very skillfull indeed.

    It has never ceased to amaze me some of the hand-work you can see that goes on in third-world countries, often with the most basic of tools, invariably from a squatting position and driven by necessity.

    He probably sells his wares for a pittance. If that was in the UK, it'd be artisan/hand-made and cost much more than mass produced stuff.

    Great skills but metal sheets with extremely sharp edges combined with sandals - NO!

    Sorry not impressed when they know they are being filmed.

    They quite correctly used a hard rubber hammer when knocking over flanges but then they assemble using a cross pein hammer and that is a big no no. It leaves dents.

    If you ever go to Marrakesh it’s worthwhile taking a walk down to the very back of the Souk where they make a lot of the stuff that sells at the front.

    I could spend all day watching their skills with metal.

    Skilled men but I thought this was going to be a thread celebrating the practice of getting blotto.
    A bit disappointed to be honest

    It made me squirm thinking of the pressure he's putting on his sphincter

    Everything was made that sort of way in old times.They also had huge amounts of time, intergenerational skills and slavery.
    We wonder at it now because we have automated mass production and China.
