Amazed at the Craftsmanship

[JohnnyReb]

I think many of you have seen this video. I had not. The art and craftsmanship portrayed by this gentleman needs to be seen by our less productive youth of today.
If you have not seen it, you should. You may critique the pond but remember he did not have an engineer, job super., foreman, a machine operator, a materials handler and 3 laborers. May I add he only had rudimentary tools. What would that pond cost here??

That's a warm country special!

That's more like an outdoor aquarium. He could for sure win our Tank of the Month contest and then the Tank of the Year Tournament.

that tank isn't big enough for those koi, let alone full grown adult koi

Shame the glass style wouldn't work out longterm for those of us with seasonal changes. The hot in summer and then cold in winter would risk that glasswork

I'd definitely house smaller stuff in it though.

What I was pointing out was the craftsmanship, not so much the design.

Oh no, please don't think I was critiquing it! I was lamenting the fact I'd not ever be able to do something like that. Its beautiful and has so many uses and I have the misfortune of having a bad climate for it

I agree it will not work most places, but I was astonished at what a skilled craftsman can do with so little to work with.

I have seen that often the man who has little to work with outdoes the man with unlimited resources .

 

[GaryE]

I think the craftsmanship is worth pointing out.
