Thank you Joost and Yard O Lead. This was one of the best things I've watched in ages. It is so heartening to know there are still people who bring such passion to their work.

I absolutely love that inside these century old cabinets, stuff is being stored in re-used butter tubs

Just fantastic that in today's age we still have craftsmen (and women) who do these things by hand, with love and attention to detail.

Thank you Joost for coming to my home city and visiting the Yard-O-Led workshop.<br><br>I am proud of the unique pen making legacy of Birmingham, and hopefully one day in the future you will visit my own pen making workshop.

Wow!!! I'm a manual machinist by trade, from Ecuador, and currently working in Canada , and I'm very, very impressed.

This is so freaking awesome. I have recently just looked into getting a lifetime pencil and I think I'm going to go with a Yard-O-Led for it. Love that it's all hand made in small batches the old way too. So amazing to see these craftsmen do what they do.

I have to admit I was impressed. I had no idea how manual the production process of these pens was.

I bought one of their rollerballs and it is truly a work of art. So nice and heavy and feels amazing to write with

Thank you Joost. This was a wonderful video, it gave me happiness to see that somewhere in the UK, there is still the beautiful spirit of the Isles, where craftmanship is still alive. I will be ordering a Yard O Led from you.

Thank you and Yard O Lead for the wonderful video! Your normal videos are all fantastic, but IMHO this one has an especially unique character that takes it up a notch.

Thanks for a great tour round a very traditional workshop. My ancestors worked in the Jewellery Quarter in the 19th Century, and I am sure they would have recognised many of the processes involved.
