Video Favorites - Metalsmithing, Fabricating, Jewelry Making, Forging, etc.

[SToNZ]

Since we are always sharing great smithing technique videos on the chat thread, let's post the best of them here so they'll be easy to find later. Anyone can post links to videos they feel the Chatty Metalsmiths might find helpful or interesting.

Please start your post by naming the category your video falls under.
Then give a brief description of what the video demonstrates and post the link.
Anything other than appropriate videos might be deleted if off topic.
(I am sure you had a great vacation and your cat is super adorable, but this is not the place to show that off.)

Unfortuanately, this one costs money, $14. Its the first online video I have ever paid for but its totally worth it. I have watched some parts over and over. It is really inspiring and in depth, about 2 hr 20 min long.
