Romania is such a beautiful country, I wish I could go there and visit with these wonderful people.

Hopefully they will be able to keep their culture and traditional skills for many generations to come without being diluted and forced into the ways of the west in the name of "progress".

This is what america was 100 years ago, full of people who could depend on themselves for everything they needed.

Today they can produce nothing and depend on china for everything, a throwaway prideless nation

@TheEuropeanDream bah,dar ce reclama buna faci romaniei...........

[TheEuropeanDream]

Romanians are great people,EXCEPTING THE FACT THAT Romanians outside Romania(those who left Romania for other countries)are just idiots,gypsies and parvenu.Most of them are killers,thieves,lawbreakers,va­ndals that destroy anything in their way.They even peed in Fontana di trevi and vandalized some others monuments.Romanian women who left Romania are just stinking whores,tramps and they sell their bodies!

BTW,Romanians are not gypsies!Only 50% of Romanians are gypsy,and they live in all Europe

Do not blame UE. If you are a blacksmith, better look at their associations, forums and groups. They keep and preserve their past. The Romanian Craftsman didn't perish because of UE

@unomnacajit111 ce ai mah te doare capul?

UE sintem si noi, ma rog, noi am dorit asta. Pierdem asemenea minuni in primul rind din vina noastra a Romanilor. Citi dintre noi ar plati mai mult pentru o oala de lut decit pentru una de inox "high brand"? Citi ne ducem copiii sau nepotii la muzee de arta populara sau la tirguri taranesti? Sau ii invatam sa impleteasca un bici in 3 ori in 4? Nu mai stim nici noi sa cioplim un fluer din salcie si privim suspiciosi la o bucata de brinza neambalata in plastic vacuumat. Noi vom fi vinovati, nu UE.

Excellent film!!.

When you see this, it makes you realise again, that craftmanship is not "just something".

It should be well taken care of.

Very nice video. Great master craftsmen.
