>Might be old hat to some, but I had never seen it before. We see the fabrication of chisels, nails, and other tools.

Thought that was cool...

>Yes, one often hears the phrase "they hold the work with their feet" which tends to give you the impression it is solely are result of working on the floor and that in some way the feet are equivalent to using a vise or holdfast or the like. That video shows the feet being use more like a 3rd or 4th hand, which really improves the flow of the operation. Pretty fantastic.
