The List #20

This week's The List is all about making things. For some reason I stumbled across several great videos over the past week that feature people in the act of creation. I'm always fascinated by watching people in their element and each of these videos do a great job of scratching that itch.

This behind the scenes video is nice and short and fascinating.

Beautiful video. Fascinating process. I want to make a knife.
