I Toured an Amish Cabin Shop 

Work barefooted too 😮

That saw is the stupidest thing I've seen for what is used for.makes no sense get chainsaw odd.

We have different definitions of craftsmanship depending upon what we have been exposed to as we grow up and how we are taught by others and also what we experience when we come into contact with other ways of doing things. It is what we learn and what we glean from experience as to what works and what does not that influences our level of craftsmanship. The Amish definitely have gleaned a lot of experience over the centuries as to what constitutes craftsmanship. And they are not alone.

​@martinfrantz1623 I was thinking the exact same thing, They're both gas powered.

B.S.

@@overthehill1958 I agree with you.

I would not say that we are spoiled, in the sense that all through time, ever since we started to walk up on our hind legs, we have been always thinking of how we could do a job better and faster. It is not so much the physical end of things, granted people in the past because they did not have the technology, or the developed machinery did things with more physical labor did not know any different and of course they were accustomed to the physical labor. Even the Amish with their beliefs in not using machinery have to make concessions to the economics of the situation regarding production and cutting production costs. In some cases as we can see it may be more reasonable both in time and simplicity to continue to use simple tools and equipment rather than get complicated trying to reinvent the wheel so to speak. As always us human beings are constantly challenging ourselves to build a better mousetrap and it is how we are wired like it or not. Regardless of the methods the interest in making a quality product that will stand up to the test of time is what counts.

I'm chubby. I've never seen chubby Amish.I see why.

About 60% of their process utilizes modern tools. Why not use drills and pneumatic nail guns?

The Amish are under OSHA regulations?

Pretty scary! but it works.

I was going to add that to the video and totally forgot. I don’t know exactly how long it takes. But they did say they can do about 3 buildings in a week.

Each subgroup of Amish have different rules about types of tools they are/aren't allowed to use. Some of the looser ones allow everything all the way up to tractors. There's actually a wikipedia page that lists many of them out. If you ever get a chance to talk to an Amish guy, take it. They're generally happy to tell you about it if you just ask them.

@@hwogrillo We have a very large contingent of Amish folks locally, I will do just that, they come into the small town here and fish on their days off, I think it would be very interesting. 👍

Enjoy your videos Dustin. I look forward to watching your channel grow. Your little daughter is adorable.

I wondered the same thing. I might need to ask them that.
