    I really enjoy watching master craftsmen at work. Watching someone who is at their prime, one can observe how their confidence, experience, and intuition come together and aid them in their task.
    Great video, Kirby - thank you.

    As an Italian, I love his French direct approach - just shut up and let me teach you, if he was British it would be 20 mins of small talk and tangents into how he once found a shoe inside a tree.

      Yeah, I'm not sure about the intensity of it...I kind of liked the jazzy intros, a bit less serious and classy. Getting it right just hard though, I assume he will iterate on this further. I think a shot of him walking in a suit in paris would be better than the shot with the cap (hamburg...dunno not a hat guy).

      happy543210 Funny you say that... Philippe actually had an over-zealous customer drop off a cast of his foot for Philippe to “keep as a reference.” Pretty funny. But not really useful as a master’s experience and intuition.
