I'm not clever enough to post a link but please go to the website 'This Is Colossal' and search for forged and filed.
It's a five minute film of someone soooo talented forging a compete lockbox from scratch.
It doesn't sound too fantastic but trust me.... the guy has skills I could only dream of.

Thanks somafunk..... You're obviously a far more skilled person than me.
I can't even post a link and he can make something that beautiful from scratch.
Very sobering.

5 mins really doesn't do justice to 3 years of work.  For those that haven't watched it the video start in a straightforward beardy anvily way and then gets amazing.  He's an artist and it's a piece of art as much as a thing.  Makes you want to go on a 'jewelry and metalsmithing' course now

Little things... making the bolts by hand? Jawdrop emoji. (A friend bought a really old steam engine where they'd've had to make at least some of the individual components. Amazing. I made a screwdriver at school once.)
