These kinds of people are really the ones who keep things running.

in terms of this equipment it's really an apt description. old stuff like this was built to be used forever, so as long as you watch after it and care for it you can use it forever. in that way hes not only preserving the equipment but also preserving the historical use of it.

Enjoyed this immensely. But the best part was watching "THE STAFF" in his youth killing it. Tradesmen, craftsmen are a dying breed. Hope he stays the course. Already appears to be a master.

I love watching Lofty Pursuits shorts, they've had a channel for awhile. They exude such a refreshing energy, so I always feel a little better than before I watched!

This is absolutely incredible. The sugar smith's understanding of the structure of the material and how it reacts in specific situations is exceptional. He then applies this to his touch, sound, sight. His passion is captivating too. Nothing like watching a master of their craft do their thing.

This was fascinating. I hadn't intended to watch this but got "pulled" right in. Thank you for sharing this.

Man, after watching this I have a whole new layer of respect for candy makers. I always had a certain amount of respect for the science of the process, but now I have a greater appreciation for the art aspect of the process.

@mediawatcher9225 2 года назад

The passion he shows towards candy making really keep me interested throughout the video, nice to see he loves his job this much. And the history behind of all of this equipment is just amazing, I’ve never been so intrigued about the history of candy.

Can we just appreciate how strong that curly haired guy is. He doesn't look it but he can flip over an entire pot of molten sugar without even scolding himself. Very very impressive

Every time he says "takes years to master" I look at the young guy and think, so glad he's got the touch and can carry on.
