Hello mr Maisy,
I can only have a lot of respect for this man and woman, I thought I heard somewhere in one of his videos that he was working on it for 3 to 4 months and I rarely see him use anything power tools (although he has a electric forging hammer) everything is traditionally done by hand. It is also hard work for the woman who always has to fetch charcoal and work as a striker. I hope he has a student who can take over this knowledge, It would be a shame if this will be lost, especially considering the age of these people.
