What a beautiful thing! I love the story about the man who would wake up to find the tools are real. Mr McCreight got a little choked up talking about it. It shows how much this initiative means.
You people are amazing. Tim...your eyes tells more then your words. You are an amazing teacher and your soul is is so bright. I wish you a very long life. People like you are never forgotten. Tank you all for the generosity. I live in Europe and I love African art.
This shows just how powerful it is to share a seemingly simple thing that can be exponentially expanded to change a person's life and passion...kudos to you all!!
Like I said before. You people have such big hearts. I love what you do and what kind of role model you are for all of us. Tim McCreight...many things I know about jewelry fabrication is from your videos from internet. Fundamentals of Metalsmithing was one of the main reasons I make jewelry today. I hope you will have a very long life and you will be healthy and happy because you give us so much.
Thank you so much for these comments, we really appreciate it and are glad to know that you enjoyed the video. We're honored to partner with Tim and Matthieu and everyone who takes part in Toolbox Initiative.
Beautiful Initiative ! We are Manufacturers of Diamond Jewellery from Mumbai, Inida and loved the Video ! Seeing those people work and create jewels & getting a superior tools was heart touch.
Beatifull project! Project with real heart coming from the deepness of the heart. Congratulations people. I will keep in mind. God Bless to everyone of you. Cheers.
I am also an ex jeweler, I fell in love with this trade since I was a boy, seeing my father and my brother working, so seeing this video gave me the goose bumps I could imagine how much they appreciated. Well done and good luck.
I loved this video! They are amazing craftsmen with so little few tools or equipment! I heard about Tool Box Project - from Tim McCreight at ECU's - Metals Symposium - several years ago!! I thought it was so wonderful and have since contributed to it. I hope this project continues for many decades!
I wonder if there couldn't be a way (with the credibility you guys now have) to get the TSA people and counterparts in some countries to donate to your project the boxes of scissors and knives that they confiscate from travelers? It kills me to see all the good things in the big plexi box... some items could definitely be used by jewelers, also fabric artists, dyers, quilters, etc. I have asked about the stuff, in Bolivia and some other countries for instance, and they always give the standard answer that they will destroy it, but I think they re-sell it in some cases....different than donating it ....Something to check out?!
Gerald, Thanks again for watching. If you're interested in more information about the Toolbox Initiative be sure to look them up on Facebook where they share photos and stories from their most recent trips.
