Interesting stuff about making bells, these guys do it the old way. That portion of the episode starts about 18 minutes in. I just watched this the other weekend while out in the garage trying to get stuff done. A tv does not lend itself to getting stuff done, but it's at least somewhat educational.

Thanks for posting Rikk. It could have been interesting but couldn't get past his obsession with poop.

Yes, I agree, it does get a little old at times, but I figure it's just his writers and not him specifically. He actually has done a lot to help promote the trades and has established a foundation for trade school scholarships.

I really admire what he is doing for us. As someone who started my career as an apprentice sweeping the floor and cleaning up chips in an "old school" machine shop and is now an engineer for an aerospace manufacturer, I appreciate that he is making it cool again to work hard, pay your dues and work your way to the top through ability and knowledge.

Just can't believe during the mixing of the sand and manure no one said "So, what's brown and sounds like a bell?"
