  Dave, you know, you keep apologizing for talking too much, or making videos that are "too long". Don't apologize! The thing is this: You have a life's experience from an obscure  (for westernes, at least) yet immensely interesting and exacting industry. It is extremely interesting to hear about your thoughts and experiences. I hope you get more time for carving in the future, as well.

  Its so crazy that he set these long goals of 5-10 years to teach himself and perfect his craft. He clearly has a ton of dedication!

  Here is a man who isn't just trying to make money or getting people's attention, but a man who is passionate in his craft and wanting to share his experience with others.  I respect that 100% and I am looking forward to see what Mr Bull will share next! Whether short or long videos

  Thank you for the amazing video and wonderful story. I could listen to your stories for hours. Your "ramble" videos are my favorites. Hearing a master craftsman talk about their work is just so inspiring and gives me a perspective I don't think I get to experience enough. Thank you and I can't wait for the next video!

  I've watched every video Mr. Bull has, some multiple times. I have come to the conclusion that he is an extremely intelligent man with a natural ability for story telling.

  I love how David says "I thought I would challenge this one"... definitely he's becoming Japanese! Japanese people often mix "challenge" and "try".

  Discovered this channel randomly today. FANTASTIC STUFF! I'm use to listening to just random videos at work, (music, standup comedy, silly trendy nonsense). But THIS is my new favourite thing to listen to. I feel like im there sitting in front of David listening to his stories, and they're so interesting and engaging. Thanks for the videos David

  I absolutely love it when you start talking about how in the old days these prints were made. This time the image of a printshop full with people from inexperienced kids working on paper wrappers (they printed that too?) to master carvers / printers working on expensive projects really struck me. Thanks!

  The knowledge this man has on old school Japanese printing is amazing and thank the lord he is showing the world that it even existed. Its astonishing. The amount of work and skill and detail that is able to be observed is truly mesmerising. I wouldnt know of this craft without Dave. God bless him. Every video he shares is educational and relaxing and you feel almost at home listening to his explanations of the amazing craft he is obsessed with. He is a master of his craft. I'm sure some were better at some points in time but it's amazing what he shows us and explains why things are important etc. I am blown away. Respect sir. May you live forever
