Mastercrafts

I ran across this series on Youtube and wanted to share it. It's rather interesting to me watching it. The series follows 3 people in each video as they learn ancient crafts and attempt to master them in just a month.  Most of these skills usually take years to master, so it is quite a daunting concept. I think, if anything, the level of success shown by those involved says something about the methods we use to teach.

Anyway, the episodes are as follows:
1 - Green Woodcraft


2 - Thatching


3 - Blacksmithing


4 - Stained Glass


5 - Weaving


6 - Stonemasonry

We watched the stone mason one. It was really good! My four year old really enjoyed it and asked lots of questions. I'm tempted to get him a chizel and mallet and let him whack at some rocks with goggles on.

I LOVED breaking rocks with hammers as a kid. It would have been really cool to be able to try to carve them!

Hope it went well with the chizel and mallet

Thanks for sharing the series.  Great find.

If anyone has access to Prime Video, this is an excellent series:-
