The skill of the pianist will be responsible for 90% of the sound but Steinways have their reputation for a reason. I was lucky enough to perform an hour of difficult repertoire on a new Steinway D (pieces that really tested the piano in all registers, all timbres) and it's really something else. You can strike a single note on a Steinway D in a concert hall and just be mesmerized by its sound, from the initial attack transient through to the end of its tail. The best analogy I could probably come up with is that feeling of driving your car just after it's been tuned up, or perhaps test driving a really nice luxury vehicle - you're going through the same motions but everything's just more responsive and just feels right!
Yeah, I’ve played one. Not worth the money unless you’re mega mega rich, or if it’s for a theater and is being paid for by a company. For individual use, there’s rarely any justification for getting one.
@@ontopofbottom Yes absolutely. I was lucky as a teenager to be in close with Yamaha with my family (playing in a few of their fancy Asia/Oceania concerts with siblings) so we got a great deal on a new C5 for somewhere in the $30k AUD range (-they retailed for $51k then, I think around 61 now) and I absolutely love them. Played plenty of C7s but, if one is serious and middle class/can afford one, I'd always recommend the Yamaha C3-C5 range.
Plenty of amazing samples nowadays too, I mostly use NI's The Grandeur (a Steinway D sample) as my go-to but with Pianoteq, Keyscape (C7) and a hundred other fine examples, one can record nice sounds for cheap nowadays!
Only problem with the sampled stuff is it's harder to get the equipment to half-pedal, which is absolutely essential... though Pianoteq (among others) have sympathetic resonance now which is amazing!
@@Maddolis yeah they’re definitely solid pianos. Work with Yamaha, so there’s the employee discount of 46% off for all products once a year. Including baby grand pianos and everything else. Haven’t ever purchased one, but I’ve gotten to play it a few times. Personally I’m just too cheap to buy a piano that expensive, but they are definitely solid pianos.
@@ontopofbottom Oh awesome! I taught for them a good few years ago but didn't take advantage of any of the employee discounts. No chance I could afford one, a $4.5k synth would be the biggest musical purchase I've ever been able to sway!
theyre too loud
Stetson is worthr the cost because they are long lasting and durable, my grandfather bought one in the 50's and daily wore it, passed it to my dad who wore it regularly and i own it now and it still holds up in the rain all day long.
That is WONDERFUL
My daughter just bought me my first Stetson for Christmas this year, I hope it lasts that long!
I got to make a Damascus knife along side one of the winners of forged n fire. It was an amazing experience my wife signed me up for. It took 2 8 hour days the first day we forged the Damascus billet and the second day forged the knife and put a handle on it. My wife then snuck it out one day and had a master leather worker make a custom sheath for it. I have a wonderful wife and the knife is one of my most treasured possessions.
Yeah, but while you were sweating to death working on the forge and pressing the layers of steel with the hammer, the old lady was in the hotel lounge hitting on an obese and bald Jewish traveling pillow salesman from Minnesota. The salesman scammed her out of $1,500, and on top of that she might not be as "wonderful" as you think.
@@wapiti3750 wow you must have terrible relationships I am sorry that happened to your mom but maybe some day your real dad will sell enough pillows to afford another night with her and you can finally meet him.
What a cool experience! How awesome that your wife made that happen for you. I'd treasure a thing like that, too.
@@shaurmiath6719 It was amazing I am a very lucky man.
@@wapiti3750I thought you were going to make a joke about she was getting a different type of hammering.
whats sad is a 35lbs king salmon up here used to kinda be average, now they are considered big cause they have been overfished by charter boats, massive open ocean trawlers, poachers and the diseases that cruise ships bring into ports.
😭 That stinks
They should stop commercial fishing
Humans at best at destroying our once exquisite earth.
@@stevenruiz5367 For at least 3 years, worldwide. The oceans are too polluted now to eat any of it anyway: mercury in ALL the gamefish; radiation from Japan; plastics and heavy metal industrial run-off from China every day.
"I used to dream about the pianos chasing me" - LOL
Every time that guy Kyle got a salmon on board, he would look at his partner like ARE YOU SEEING THIS SHIT. And it was with every salmon, like each of them was his first. So adorable. Kyle, you are the man!
Speaking as an old Cavalry trooper, the Army does not issue a trooper's Stetson. We buy those out of our own pocket. There was a time when eff'ing with a trooper's Stetson was an ass-whipping offense. Those are 'ridden in' by our comrades and, for most of us, remain a prized possession and memento of our service.
I like how the Stetsons are made in the same way they have made them for 150 years… in a big factory with electric and pneumatic machines that shape them in nearly one go, machines that turn the fur into felt by feeding it through, powered sanders, etc..
There is still some hand work, but something tells me there used to be a lot more.
If you or anyone you know wears a cowboy hat and isn't literally a cowboy or ranch hand I would make fun of them until they stopped wearing that shit. Unless you ride a horse everywhere that shit is downright ridiculous.
@@himynameisjeffI don’t see the logic in that. Apply that to other clothing and it doesn’t make sense. “Don’t wear a trench coat unless you’re in a trench!” “Don’t wear a baseball cap unless you play baseball!” “Don’t wear a business suit if you’re not in any business leadership jobs!” “Don’t wear sunglasses if it ain’t that sunny!”
Some people just have a different sense of fashion, it’s a normal part of society
@@himynameisjeff Bullcrap. While I recognize it might be an affection for some, a cowboy hat is a very practical thing and anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, particularly in the west/southwest, can tell you that.
@@himynameisjeffoh no you'll make fun of someone? You must really think your opinion means a lot to people! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@himynameisjeff Ok zoomer.
my dad is a tradesman and not rich but hes a cowboy and made sure i always had a stetson hat growing up from the time i was 2. I never realized how much he spent on them just for me to nearly immediately grow out of them. I wear georgia boots for work and my 6yo daughter (age last time i bought a pair since they last so long) wanted a pair to be like daddy. Her tiny boots cost the same as my size 13s at $325. I imagine these hats are the same way.
Been wearing Georgia boots for years now. My absolute favorites
@@agreatpineapple2201 i used to buy timberlands cause so comfortable out of the box but last 6-8 months. I bought red wings ONCE and never again. This is my first pair of georgia boots, just as comfortable out of the box and im at nearly 4 years with them. Even the original laces, even the LACES are top quality! (about to send them in for new soles though all the tread is finally worn off, BUT ITS FREE!)
Thats just being stupid spending that type of money on a kid whose gonna outgrow it, im assuming your daddy wasnt a real cowboy and was loaded spending 200 plus for a name on a hat for a kid who wont even be abke to wear it for a full year
If you have a Hammond organ or a Thomas organ, wooden parts on those organs were made by me to exacting standards. Standards so high they were unobtainable in wood. Parts that required tolerances of 5000th of an inch. I was 18 at the time and learned the trade from older men who taught me what pride in workmanship was.
@@noongourfain He probably means the standards were so high that they were not achievable or doable with wood?
It amazes me what some, can accomplish if they hone their craft.
👍🙌💯
Very cool. My favorite sound on earth is the B3.
Technically those tolerances can be met within wood, if it's kept at a CONSTANT temperature and humidity level, but as soon as it dries or absorbs moisture or even rises or lowers in temp then those tolerances are gone again
These guys make me wanna go out and get some of this salmon. That is some hard work! These guys are earning every penny!
12:23 man that is some dedication checking each key individually
Damascus definitely looks cool and does have desirable properties but I think too many people get caught up in the idea of it being magical somehow and forget that you dont *need* a blade to be Damascus to be very good blade.
Exactly - also the type of steel is hardly ever mentioned with damascus. Sure it looks pretty - but I'd rather CPM-M4, etc, than some intricate "whatever" damascus on basically any knife I'd use.
not damascus though mate.
damascus has visible Crystalline molecular grains structure
is not a Damascus blade
Pattern welded / Damascus has no real advantage over modern steels, it is literally just aesthetic. Back thousands of years ago layering and folding the steel helped forge out impurities that were present in small batch crucible steel, and break up the crystalline structure. Modern steels are typically much more pure and already come out of the factory rolled down from huge bars. If anything a single steel blade will be better for any knife meant to be used because the pattern welding introduces differential stresses and flaws.
If it was better they wouldn’t have stopped doing it.
good lord...i can't believe how much goes into those pianos. Fascinating. really.
NOTHING impresses me more than people making things.
Bringing something into this world is just magical. .
Having lost most of my hearing due to health issues , i now have a profound respect for piano tuners and instrument tuners . to be able to discern such fine, minute changes in tone.
it is truly amazing what or senses can do if they are functioning well and we are trained how to use them. to be able to use our brain and senses with such precision truly is a witness to the loving Grand Creator from who our appreciation of and gifts in music, aroma's, visual arts and crafting comes from.
I got a few Stetson hats and they are worth the price honestly they are such amazing quality and they last forever pretty much if taken proper care of
Love those knives
But also my aunt was the sewing contractor for the space suits on the Diné (Navajo) reservation. Made them over 25 years. I used to go to the factory and watch the components being sewn when I was a kid
oh wow, i watched the whole salmon segment and realized at the end that i had a whole giant bag of it in a subscription box, SO GOOD!
Kyle could pursue a career as a model all those off salmon seasons😂
Crab claws: 2 to 3 years to regenerate? And what does the crab use to feed itself?
These expensive items sure are magnificent. The processes behind them are absolutely mesmerizing to watch.valuable items are considerably expensive knowing just how much work has been invested as well as quality materials used to make them.
Except the bomb shelter one. That is just schizophrenic rich people.
There are so many luxurious items in the world but very few people who have the money to afford them. Lol
EXACTLY!!!
I am presently looking for where to begin putting in some funds that will aid me after retirement. Saving up isn't giving anything in return
There a lot of licensed advisors these days. I retired few years back and I have made more money than people who work daily jobs
I've read numerous success stories of people that are pulling off tremendous gains of up to $120k within weeks in this crazy market and I just want to learn how to achieve such figures.
Cost of material & production is often only part of the explanation. For a lot of luxury items, in an age of mass production, high cost is part of the appeal. With such things, known as Giffen goods, they defy the logic of the market. Demand goes UP as price does.
luxury items are not giffen goods.
I have made a living doing two things on this list , making gold & platinum jewelry by hand and damascus knives , my aunt lost a finger in a polishing machine polishing a chain and my buddy Mario lost 3 fingers in a rolling mill making square stock . Making jewelry is very dirty and can be dangerous if you don't listen or pay attention . I still have all of my fingers . 👍
I sure hope those workers are very well compensated
they get a 25 cent raise every decade! What a deal!
They don't have to work there, do they@@runed0s86
Masterpieces. The bliss of musics
How Kyle(the fisherman) speaks about his job makes it sound fun. Also, the way he acts when they get the really big salmon is so adorable.
I like the idea of a survival shelter, aka bunker, but it's because I've always thought it would be really cool to live underground.
56:01 😆😂🤣 One sounds crazy and the other WAS crazy!
You can add a bag of groceries too that list!
12:04 oh wow!!! ❤❤❤ that’s is skillful
You could check and see if those fishing boats could use a keel plate under the bow to make tha boat safer in the wind. You make the keel plate in the first quarter deepest point of the boat to gain rudder control in a storm.
Indy’s hats were made by Herbert Johnson Hatters London.
The weight of the keys is insane, an absolute art.
What do you wanna be when ya grow up?....
Steinway kid:
"Uhhh, I don't really have a choice". Lol
the lady who said the secret is to pa attention..... man thats refreshing
Very cool series, indeed.
Thank you very much.
This was so good
Fantastic video,.
Loved each and every product highlighted
As a player of electric guitars,..I am hoping your next video like this includes either the American made Gibsons Les Paul or the American Fender Stratocaster
12:00 this is the most interesting part of this video to me!!
I would pay good money to go to work with this amazing woman and see if I can learn to do what she does
okay, I've watched this part like 4 times now and I stand by this comment.
I want to know if she is using math for this. The pencil makes me think yes, that she is using trig. to calculate the the position to drill and add weights from the position that she puts the weights on top of the keys. the slight difference in angle though makes me have so many questions
if she is using math I want to see the formulas.
If she is not using math though, it would make a lot more sense as to why only 2 people are allowed to do this work, and I would very much want to pick this persons brain
the next person who adjusts the tone is also amazing to me, but I have done a deep dive into this and also used to play an instrument some what well so I already understand the nuance and difficulty of differentiating/adjusting tone and similar sound qualities. I really find this ultra high sense of feel interesting I.E. keyboard switches, reading brail, and this amazing job
okay I will shut up now :)
My Steinway sounds awesome, now I know why.
a true insiders documentary ....kudos !!!
Thanks for this valuable and very inspiring show always super to learn ,keep the gems coming.
Thank you so much for discussing all of this, you are speaking my truth and I have felt so alone until now. I just discovered your channel when searching for port information. I plan to start watching them all. I have POTS, hypovolemic hypotension and moderate gastroporesis as well. Not EDS, though. I’m a mom, hobby farm owner, healthcare Informatics professional and avid fiber artist. I so wish I could meet you, people like us are hard to find. Thank you. Just thank you.
for the second section i have a 1909 Steinway upright
We need to bring back the manufacturing for these parts that we use to make. The United States needs to bring back it all because that is what made America great.
No slaves and racism made it great.
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n Tippu Tip. It was the white man and Western civilization that ENDED it first in all world history. The rest kept it going.
@@davidb2206 Ended it? You think slavery doesn't exist? White Americans vote for Trump in the belief they can own slaves again. Hundreds of thousands died to keep their slaves, now their children and grandchildren are fighting to get them back. Jan 6th was just a hint as to their insanity, arrogance and stupidity. Is that the train you're on?
I hope the hat makers get paid to work in those conditions, that's amazing what they do. I had no idea. They are the real mvps. I hope they get treated like gold.
I love how people still think the different layers of steel in a damascus knife make it magically stronger! Look at how the katana is made and you see the genius of 2 different metals that have different strengths: inner more flexible steel keeps the sword straight and intact while the exterior is harder and more able to keep an edge despite being more brittle.
AHHCTUALLY the reason Katana's are better is because they fold them 10,000 times and have the spirit of a samurai trapped inside magically honing the blade. Filthy Gaijin doesnt understand the supreme power of the katana.
@@bunnieskitties293 I would think isn't him twisting the steel together just a quick easier way instead of folding the steel over and over? I'm not denying the man has a unique talent, but it seems hes just copying what Japanese swordsmiths having been doing for ages. I could be wrong im no expert. 🤷♂
@@bunnieskitties293 5-7 folds is all you need, but haha funny I get the joke
@@Jorel032777 Folding is for ridding impurities from low quality steel, twisting is for creating a decorative pattern. It has nothing to do with Japan.
@@semberspiritactually it has everything to do with Japan since that's where they originated thousands of years ago and to the guy above you, yes 5 to 7 folds is all you need to make a pattern but the more layers you have the more durable it is. That's why they made the swords with thousands of layers.
I hope that lady is paid well who weights the keys for the pianos, :)))
Thanks to the animals who donated the fur for the hats,
Do you have any idea how hard it is to shave beavers and chinchillas?
@@plebiansociety Well it's pretty easy. you just need to take their skin off first.
I've got a lot of Husky Fur at my house... Let me know if I can sell it to you for that new/exotic hat!
Growing up in Seattle in the 60's and 70's you could get king salmon for $2.00 per pound.
Going to Walmart last week, I got boneless shrinkwrapped frozen salmon filets for $1.75 a pound, and they taste exactly the same as king salmon. It matters how you cook the fish, not how big it is or where it comes from.
@@runed0s86 It does matter if it is frozen though. You do realize that you probably live within 20 minutes of a river and can get your own FRESH!!!!! Stop being lazy :P
that would be $20 today counting for inflation
@@Bigernmcrakn Guess you don't have a broke neck. And nobody I know eats the fish in the local river.
Ofcourse when you remove both claws on a crab how do you expect him to feed or defend itself?
CLAW FREE ZONE....😆
Mortality in a crab that was declawed without the body cavity exposed is only 12% higher. Exposing the body cavity (basically taking the last knuckle attached the body) triples it. The largest predators of crabs is crabs. It's actually assumed higher population because a clawed crab will predate on dozens of crabs in it's life, while declawed crabs are true scavengers that can still breed.
The stone crabs that have been tortured and disfigured in this way are currently plotting to extinguish the brutal human race. Their first order of business will be to feed any crab fishermen they capture to the great white sharks.
They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or something
I want a Stetson hat to wear over my space suit. I wonder if they make one for space cowboys. 😂
Only if your name is Maurice
Don't forget to drop a chain around the helmet.
Haha, so now I'm crazy of the diamond as well 😅🤭🙌
You can get a more pure lab grown diamond for under $1000
You want a dirty floor stone or a perfect lab stone? Mined diamonds, which are easy to get and are literally the most common mineral on earth hurt the environment too.
From the depths of the earth to the heights of the sky, silver reigns supreme
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf.
Cuban necklace is the easiest form of jewelry making.
I thought it was hilarious how they are explaining the difficulties of making a Cuban as though that nonexistent in other forms of jewelry making.
37:56 I like how this guy is talking about safety/accidents as he’s using a piece of machinery while wearing a chain around his neck…. Safety First!
Good job
In Australia we have Akubra hats handmade from rabbit fur felt.
Wow stetson hats are literally made from fur to hat at their bussiness now I would definitely buy a product that was 100% made at the same company if you know what I mean saying some companies import parts of their materials from a different place
Also responsible for the incomprehensible slaughter and endangerment of North American beaver- resulting in our rampant wildfires, fresh water supply issues, and numerous climate issues all across the continent. Shameful company these days. Stetson absolutely could continue using furs in traditional hats but using more humane and sustainable options for acquiring furs….. yet they’re just so greedy and arrogant they believe they can “excuse” their cruelty and exploitation in the name of “legacy”.
Why can’t they make hats and be good stewards of nature/wildlife BOTH?
@@noongourfain Yeha I learned some new things while watching this channel so informative and I love it!
They import the fur from other countries, does that not count?
Punctuation no thank you
@@steveswede8162 I would giggle if Stetson started a massive chinchilla farm for their fur.
I would be very weary about cheaply made space suits because you know that old saying, you get what you pay for. $2,000,000. Dollars may not do what you want it to do in safety.
You might be tired but you might also be wary, but you're not an astronaut are you? Also did you know that $ means dollars?
What did you do with the roe that you find like the sac yu pulled out of that fish at 53:15?
That bunker thing was crazy.
The most random expensive items lol. Anything that gets attention always becomes so expensive around here. The piano makes sense though.
The U.S. Cavalry still uses the Stetson as well as the different Services Drill Sergeants!
Good to know, and there is no reason for our tax dollars to go to handmade hats for the military. Another fleecing of the American taxpayer. Thank you Mustard1233
Drill Sergeants, as it is part of their everyday uniform, are issued their hat, Cavalry, if they want to wear the Stetson must privately purchase their Stetson as it is not required but is a point of pride, especially to those who have earned their spurs!
I would like to think that here in the 2020's, we have the ability to produce an affordable spacesuits with modern technology and materials.
America making affordable clothing in the 2020's that doesn't rely on cheap overseas labor?
@@plebiansociety Yea, how hard could it possibly be to make a suit that protects a fragile human from the VACUUM OF SPACE.. C'mon man. They are some dog faced pony soldiers.
@@drivingbritt9617 Being they'd have been ''done'' since the 50's and we have a ''probe'' on the sun, shouldn't be that hard.
Great show guy's.
Excellent video.
I remember seeing a study on materials and how they resonate sound. The trick to knife steel, is knowing when to quit.
these products are beyond my means, my interest thus is nil. Though am very happy that other people have the wealth for thes e items.
I am surprised that they didnt mention healthcare
lol
That is so rich!!
I am waiting for TH-cam channels that audit the health insurance industry.
Try to make what health insurance companies do/say make ANY logical sense whatsoever.
It will be like the constitutional audit, law enforcement audit & civil rights audit channels on steroids,
for sheer popular interest.
I found that the video restarts at 62:15. While viewing this video (but no others, with Firefox in Windows 10 Pro) there is a strange "Start & Stop" control at the left of the bottom edge of the video, which is unchangeably set to End at 1:2:30, which I had to disable before the video would continue.
“I used to dream about the pianos chasin me.” 😂
we have a Steinway at work. I learnt to play Still DRE in it

Segues...the one thing missing from this excellent documentary.
46:41 king salmon hate that smile
Imagine if they didn't take any king River salmon how many May spawn next year or the year after that
Imagine that YOU, ocn2u, are the King Salmon fisherman with bills to pay and hungry children at home to feed. You certainly wouldn't be thinking about fish conservation.
@@wapiti3750 imagine everything was overfished today and nothing was left for tomorrow that way your children would go hungry and did you not see that they're fishing for a lot of other fish to and the King River salmon was just an extra payday to get fat on they make it sound like that's what they depend on to survive but it is not the only thing they depend on it's just their big payday
@@wapiti3750 Imagine feeding your entire family using a few of the salmon, and not killing every single salmon in the river just to wear a rolex
The galvanized fence is very very thin. My experience they will burn very easily with high Temp if you ever stuck a welder to a galvanized chain-link pole it will deteriorate
hell yeah letting workers listen to music and not yell at them for it. thats pretty huge risk but totally worth it if no accidents happen
Did the necklace guy just say "they run hot steel"? If so do they make gold plated stuff?
my hunting knife "originaly intended for" now i use for cooking as a chef .Reinforced steel and i cant recall what else. its heavy durable and sharp. will go hardly go dull but duo to the thickness and in the kitchen needs to be sharpened more often to keep the lazer sharp, hell even the wooden handle barely has any damage on it "mostly duo to people using it without permision which led mostly to being dropped" im soon makin 10 years with that knife and still performs majesticly and costed me around 300-350 dollars only i might need soon to replace the handle. Not the best lookin knife but damn even my ol service knife cant match with it
My Grabdmother had a Steinway in her home in Trinidad. Whe she was 80 she came here to America to live with my mom. She died at 96. When we went back to her home in Trinidad after her death the termites had eaten the legs. It was in total disrepair.
Yes? And then?
She didn't tear it apart and use the wood for a toboggan did she?! Sorry, I had to get that bad joke in! I had a great great aunt who retired in 1940 and collected a Social Security check until 1985. She was 110 when she finally died. She thought she was living in high cotton getting a $26.00 check every month! She had a second hand Steinway in her home for years and years. After COLA increases started kicking in around 1975 she began to receive slightly higher SSA benefits if inflation increased. She used to complain to my grandma that getting it tuned in the late 1970s cost her almost as much as the used piano cost in the first place when she bought it in the 1930s.
Well, you can tune a piano, but can't tuna fish.
@@kfiscal01that's a lie, you can tuna fish, that's why it comes in cans 🤷
Dont forget about Stetson University in Deland, Florida and it famous law school!
I have trouble deciding what's more decadent... Rappers measuring their talent in gold around their necks or people snapping off both claws of crabs, leaving them to figure out how to survive.
Very intelligent observation. By virtue of your superior intellect, you are hereby hired at the starting wage of $775,000 per annum for being the smartest person in the room. Move over Thomas Edison, John Moses Browning, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, Marilyn vos Savant, and Albert Einstein -- there is a new sheriff in town!
That is Hilarious. Best comment in 2023 thus far. That is freaking funny. THANK YOU
Decadent, would be if the fur used for the Stetsons was from animals killed for it, or whether it was shawn or combed from living animals in the way Wool is farmed.
I agree! 🦀🤠
except Thomas Edison was a businessman, not a genius.@@wapiti3750
White gold used to just be normal gold that was dipped/plated in rhodium, to make it more resistant to damage. Usually these pieces would come with warranties where you would bring them back in for free every couple years and have them "re-dipped".
Yeah, uncoated white gold is dull and fairly soft. A lot of it is still rhodium plated for the shine and durability. Anytime I've had white gold at a jeweler they have offered to plate it for me, though I usually prefer the duller, kinda whiter/less silvery look. Though I rarely wear jewelry so my experience is limited on the subject.
@@L3ttuc3 White gold is not normal gold dipped in rhodium. White gold is gold mixed with either nickel or platinum or silver. It is dull and dipped in rhodium to make it shine.
I have had access to the best musical instruments. Both of my parents are musicians, and I grew up in Church. Steinway was just the piano…
the thumbnail is definitely showing a black/brown felt hat in process
Indiana Jones is not wearing a cowboy hat. He is wearing a Homburg. Popular in the 1920's to 1940's.
in 3 of the movies it is in fact a Stetson though, and the video is on the company and their pricey process, not the style.
And I'm pretty sure Indy's hat is a stetson fedora not a homburg. You can tel by the pinch and the brim which doesn't bend up on the end and is also floppy ish.. not stiff... so yep.
You are clearly the top hat expert who has ever lived. Awesome observation and correction! Color me impressed.
Indy wears a Fedora hat,..,..but a Homburg is also very nice, n its own right..LoL
He wears a Stetson Temple Fedora
Yes but can he mold Valyrian steel knife?
I'd do Cloud Defensive weapon lights and Filson gear.
let's not forget the Fudge at the Beaver stores
I would add purple mattress to this list as well
I would love to eat some of that rice at the end ...
That's what they do with dryer lint! LOL
Damascus knives aren't inherently stronger or sharper. That is a myth.
They can take two nearly identical steels, layer and process them, then etch and stain them to look like a knife with very different steels.
The strength is in the choice of steel, and the sharpness is in the skill of the knife maker.
You could get a stronger, more reliable knife by taking a harder, high carbon steel and sandwiching it between two sheets of milder steel. No Damascus pattern necessary. The harder steel will keep an edge longer, while the milder steel will keep it flexible and support the harder steel edge against chopping
Damascus is about aesthetics, not quality
Guy I used to work with would always say "damnit, we ain't buildin no piani here!" I guess his saying really did have a meaning. Hahaha
