I first saw this video right after it was posted 10 years ago. I watched it over and over again. It resonated with me in a way, I imagine, that it resonates with many people who love to spend time in their workshops. He mentions the need to do something creative on a daily basis. I suspect many people who feel this need don't feel fulfilled. Work these days, whether in the office or on the job site, doesn't lend itself to the expression of individual creativity. I hope we start to recognize that this type of work is what makes people happy. I'm not just referring to knife making, or woodworking, or any other kind of handcraft, but rather the act of using one's own talent and creativity to make something they are proud of. This can be done in any type of work. We just have to empower people to do it.
