Thanks for breakin' out the pipes, Scott🤟

I've read stories to others, but no one has read a story to me in more than 60 years. My dad read "White Fang" to me back then. Thank you Scott, from every listener........ God bless the Wadsworth clan. Darrell

@adampindell 3 года назад

Damn EC, I could listen to you read the phone book, your voice is so smooth and pleasant to hear. Great work!

@CP-du3ci 3 года назад

When your arm gives out you have a career reading for audio books. The story was so moving and I am not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye. Partly because it was well read but also because it is a moving reminisance of simpler times when a man was gauged by the hard work he did with skill and dedication. Many thanks Scott.

@stevenslater2669 3 года назад

You beat me to it. My wife is blind (retinitis pigmentosa) & ‘reads’ an average of 3 Talking Books a week. I had her listen to the last 5 minutes of your narration. “Oh, he is really good,” she said. “Has he narrated any other books? He really should do this when he wants to slow down!” I AGREE! Thanks for a very enjoyable 1/2 hour.

@Goraiders75 2 года назад

I actually had to send this story to several of people who have meant the most to me cuz it make you feel like you were actually there

@davidz2950 3 года назад

Scott I have just finished the listen. I am 64 years old, retired, a father, a grandfather a son, and a follower of Christ, amongst other skills . I am embarrassed to say however, I have tears rolling down my face. The pride of a son for his father, the community gathered to be of witness to an outcome, I can only imagine the pride Nate is feeling during this read for his father. I can not tell you how thankful I am to have found this channel through my son. I have this pride for my two sons and daughter. I only pray they have close to this pride for me.

@bennyc4337 3 года назад

I'm betting some of EC's children/ grandchildren fondest memories are him reading stories to them....I know I'm quite fond.

@cjhification 3 года назад

And how nice it will be for them to be able to pass on the stories straight from EC to their children in the future.

@Stang413 3 года назад

I’ve always liked Scott’s voice and speech rate, but the passion in his voice made this story even better. A great reading of a great story.

@bobireland1256 3 года назад

Dear Sir Wadsworth, I have listened to well nigh on 2,500 hours of books and I can say, with authority, no one can surpass your skill as a narration performer. That was indeed a stellar performance! Please keep up the GREAT work! Many many thanks.

@chrisn7434 3 года назад

Would love for this type of thing to be a recurring segment. The way you read the story was amazing and even sang the song. Wonderful job.

@SteveSummers 3 года назад

It would be hard to enjoy that story any more than I did. Thank you and please do more of these👍

@JeffKnoxAZ 3 года назад

Hey Steve, Did you receive the video link I sent you of the song "Elizabeth?" I know it can be sketchy opening links from unknown people in the comments, but this was the most beautiful version of the song I'd ever heard, and I wanted to share it with you.

@billwoehl3051 3 года назад

Didn't get a full minute in and started sharing with everyone I could think of, had to rewind a few times, awsome story, awsome painting, awsome narrating, and awsome singing, couldn't imagine a better narrator ❤️👍

@jacobmiller3675 3 года назад

Same here friend

@gunroard 3 года назад

I grew up in my dad's forge, and my very earliest memory in this earth is of the smell of a shoe being fitted. I've never identified with a story so much in my life. Most people think the smell of burnt hoof is nasty, but it reminds me of home and my childhood. Thank you. Dearly.

@briantrausch3637 3 года назад

I listened to this 3 times. Great story! Like the painting with words

@saltydroog854 Год назад

Easily one of my top 5 favorite videos on YT, and by far my favorite of yours. And this is easily my favorite channel over all, so that's not an easy hill to climb. Superb.

@charlesstevens8913 3 года назад

Well EC, it'll be a mighty long time before you beat this episode! If I had to guess, you'll never beat it! That is, unless you find another good NR painting coupled with another SEP article! But I'm hoping that you do!

@fosterfamilyfaith 3 года назад

As a father who reads to his kids every night, I really appreciate this and can hear all the stories you told to your kids and grandkids coming through.

@stevebengel1346 3 года назад

Even if your kids don't remember anything else about their childhood in their later years, I guarantee you that they will remember you reading to them every night.

@jeffbeeman8274 Год назад

Scott, Thank you. That was wonderful, and you read ( and sang) it with nobility and style.. What a terrific story.

@richardbumpuscjf347 3 года назад

I means a lot to me that you recognize the pricelessness of this amazing story and painting. I have shod horses for 37 years. This paining has hung in my home for at least 30 years. Rockwell got so much right! From the anvil height to the swing and how the men addressed their anvil. Truly a piece of Americana! Thank you!

@tsmithkc 3 года назад

This is the best thing I've seen on RU-vid in a long time.

@gerardjohnson2106 3 года назад

As you read the scene was alive before me and memories came to me from many years ago. My granddaddy, Henry, was a blacksmith. He was small of stature strong and tough but not hard. His shop had no electricity. As a very young boy I experienced some time in that shop with him. He never called me by name, I was just "boy". I told him I wanted a horse but he said "Boy, horses got too many foot troubles, get yourself a mule someday." I didn't obey, bought horses and $1,000s later found out he was right. A fine half hour spent watching this video. It's always a treat to receive notification that Essential Craftsman has posted another one. Thanks for sharing.

@jk3dad 3 года назад

I normally save scotts videos to watch while I eat my lunch in my office at work. This one couldn't wait. Loved every second of it. You could almost hear the hammer blows, smell the burning coal and feel the apprehension in the air. Great job Scott.

@EricGoesToShopClass 3 года назад

Thank you. I just happened to play this as a big storm hit, lightning and thunder and driving pounding rain. Couldn't have had a better backdrop, that was wonderful. Who knew, you've got a fine singing voice too. Thanks again, this is soulful stuff.

@merlinsatrom9142 3 года назад

@terrancecoard388 3 года назад

@ted3forks 3 года назад

We want MORE of these. no one could have done a better job telling this story.

@davenag957 3 года назад

Well done Sir! Closed my eyes and I was there, living it. The cold air, steamy nostrils, smoke filled room, sparks flying and anvils singing. The bond between man and horse exemplified. The arrogance of the challenger deriding his opponent. Keep up the good work!

@cuttheknot4781 3 года назад

No artist of modern times captures the raw living features of human expression and poise like Norman Rockwell. I have several books of his paintings and I cherish them. The whole time of the video I was (as always) in awe of his work. Thank you for this gem of a telling.

@jim8572 3 года назад

Thank you Scott, I absolutely loved that. It kept me company while sanding drywall.

@rogerbayzand4455 3 года назад

I have been a great admirer of Norman Rockwell's paintings and to hear this tale narrated was magnificent, thank you Scott for keeping up the good work.

@TomK1001 2 года назад

Thank you for digging this story up and making this video available to all. It was a joy to listen to. Your voice, acting and singing complemented this tale and brought it alive. It is truly a remarkable piece of content in today's world and I deeply appreciate it exists now.

@melvindenny8962 3 года назад

That was nice. Thank you. Nice "Oration". Back when men were men & a handshake meant something.

@Whipple1 3 года назад

I waited several days to listen to this story knowing I needed to be someplace quiet and where I could build the picture in my mind. You did not disappoint. As a blacksmith, the story line more than struck home. I hung on every word, could imagine standing there in the shop, and see every hammer blow they made. I almost thought I could smell the smoke off the forge. Seriously, I enjoyed it immensely. Bravo, Scott! You can read a good story like nobody’s business. Thank you very much! Cheers! Whipple

@fishhuntadventure 3 года назад

Not often but sometimes- rarely- a story is better on audio than paper. This was spectacular.

@merrittbeymer5102 3 года назад

Fantastic read Scott! Thank you. Your experience blacksmithing greatly enhanced your telling of this tale.

@jacobmiller3675 3 года назад

I think I have listened to this 15 times since it came out. every time I text a link to someone it starts to play again and I think we'll sure I will happily listen again.

@taxi317 3 года назад

Fantastic reading! Brought tears to my eyes thinking of my grandfather.

@terrysullivan1992 2 года назад

What a stirring tale. The sort I would read or hear as a boy back in the 1940's and 50's. At the end a line that brought a tear: "Men don't have to be that good anymore" . Thank you Scott.

@TinManKustoms 3 года назад

Beautiful story. Thanks for taking the time for telling it. It brings back found memories of competitions even back in the late 1980s and early 90s between farmers, loggers and steel workers that I seen and had the privilege to be apart of. It was not just bragging rights it was a true competition proving their love and showcases skill for their craft. When you love doing something it's not work it's a way of life. Thanks again.

@johnrosier1686 3 года назад
