The Last Stake Maker - Potter USA
Loading...
Uploaded by rivettlathe on Sep 8, 2011
This is a video of me, Kevin Potter, making some silversmithing stakes. I wanted a professional quality video to illustrate the steps involved in making a quality tool. I'm one of the last makers of these tools, there might be a handful of us left.
This was made by my nephew, Stefan Welsh. He is a video producer, and a creative young man who is willing to travel to make videos and has reasonable prices. Contact him via email at stefanwelsh@gmail.com.
*** Look for a cameo of my son at the end of the video.

I love your vid, we should all be makeing archive accounts of how "We" do "our"
Trade specialties because we are rapidly being swept away by machine sellers
and competitors etc. my shop, has a B.P#2 a Cinci.milicron 207 and a 1968
Gidding Lewis H.B.mill a #5 morse taper radial drill with a 6 ft. arm. My crew and I use them daily (except the boreing mill which is still being retrofitted) We manufacture and repair Piledriveing equipment near Seattle Wa. in my
old timey way. Randy K.
