0:00Today at the workshop,
0:01a customer came to me asking for a custom made small Beachwood bowl for $2,000.
0:07He stopped in front of me and watched me work with a skeptical look on his face,
0:11almost condescending, as if craftsmanship was just a waste of time.
0:15He didn't really believe in it.
0:17I started roughing out the wood.
0:18Then I marked my guidelines to know exactly where to carve.
0:21By the way, tell me what city you're watching this video from.
0:24I'd love to know how far my creations can travel.
0:27I put the axe down, grabbed my carving gouge,
0:30and started shaping the inside of the bowl to create the hollow.
0:34Then I switched to my blade to refine every detail.
0:37The edges, the back,
0:39and finally the handle finish.
0:40I picked up the gouge one last time to perfect the shape.
0:44The customer kept looking up every 30 seconds.
0:46At first he was completely absorbed in his phone,
0:49but little by little, he stopped touching it.
0:51Four minutes later, I placed the finished piece in front of him.
0:55He picked it up, looked at it from every angle without saying a word.
0:59Then he pulled out his phone
1:00and immediately called someone to tell them what he had just witnessed.
1:04So on a scale from 1 to 10,
1:06what score would you give this final result?
