- We filmed Davey Collins in Finglas in 2001 making this pot in the traditional way. What a pleasure it was to see him at work, he was a master of this craft, and a gentleman. The resulting short film was one of a series of 32 films we produced or TG4 and the arts Council, on the subject of artists and makers from around Ireland. This film shows the entire process from beginning to end.
So good, i could watch him all day.😊
I wish there was more positive videos of traveller culture around like this... I love metal shaping and would have bit the hand off of Davey Collins if I'd had the chance to learn a bit from an old school tinker like him, mighty stuff!
A wonderfully crafted piece of workmanship. Skills going by the wayside today. Thank you for the demonstration.
Amazing to watch. Maybe a handful of people in the world left that can do what he did in under an hour.
Any Spengler can do it.
Very simple, it's quite rough with all the hammer marks.
Highly skilled gentleman !! 😍
A pure craftsman, brilliant to watch a man at the top of his profession.
He is a professional tin smith but the camera man was concentrating more on the tin smith face than the job he was doing
I realize I'm quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Theo Richard Flixportal :)
@Sebastian Angelo Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!!
@Theo Richard Happy to help :)
I work with copper every day and I don’t have very many tools, but what this man can do with a piece of a board and a metal stake is amazing! So encouraging! I worked on the road, usually in a tent. I love to see him building this without even a table or chair! This guy is amazing! ❤
I wonder what gauge copper he is using? Looks thin, like, maybe 24 gauge…
Looks like soft copper too.
Not wishing to be critical of a skilled man but the guage looks too thin to me. Wouldn't last if used daily on a range. i.m.o.
i've got $10,000 in metalworking equipment and this man shames me with a stick
thanks for the upload
Commonly known as a hammer
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship
The best craftsman work I've ever seen. Such a precision on every tap and all made directly on his legs. WOW !!!
Well done.
Pure Zen. The man is Master !
a proper pot for bacon and cabbage the old copper pots are the best for the flavor and the old folk say its good for arthritis like warring a copper bracelet
speechless brilliant
A artist
That's a lot more difficult than it looks
It definitely is,I am a student in the first year of the tinsmith craft and I feel a sense of reward when i make a functional, goodlooking product with my own hands,also my father has worked as a tinsmith his whole life until now,so he was the main reason I chose this profession,his work is an inspiration to me.
Hello Davey Collin.What a wonderful demo of skill,precision and workmanship that was !! It was a treat,watching you converting a tin sheet into a lovely pot.
You have magical hands!!!
I would like to buy an article,handmade by you, Sir !!! Please guide .
nice work
A true Craftsman
Top smith 👏
Will someone get the camera man a tripod it’s like he standing on deck of the boat all over the place😂🤣
Das sind die alten Meister des Handwerks
Thanks for making such films.
Lots of Asians are still working like this in tiny shops all over
Why is this about his face and not what he’s making?
you see that there with the stick with the iron and the hammers weights and shapes
Бесценное ремесло !!!
I would call that mastery…
Another lost skill mainly given over to plastic buckets etc and mass produced CNC machined pots and pans.
Correct term for the tinsmith who works with copper is: Redsmith !
Na I can’t watch this cameras on the face not on work pieace
en is die ook wel waterdicht??????
Not a tape measure in sight, all done by eye.. skills lost for ever
I have never seen a freemason tin smith before and a high level one too good workmen ship .
new tools
mooie video alleen jammer slechte cameraman
Ja jammer van al die close ups
Bjørnen vogner musikstykker
Å
Next time try wiggling the camera more and zoom in and out of his nose a few more times! This would have been a great video had you set the camera on a tripod, stood still, quit zooming and running around all the time and just focused on the work at hand.
Hi @tommiller9743 . Thanks for watching. This footage was originally shot for a series of 32 one-minute films we were producing for broadcast on TG4. The original intention was to edit all this footage into a one minute film (which we did). There was a good bit of interest in seeing all the original footage (including from Davy's family) so we decided to put it all up, unedited. You're correct - if we were producing a one hour document of Davy's work, we would have shot it is a very different way.
@@FeenishProductions thanks for responding and clearing that up for me!
Nice. In 54 min.
