Every young person needs to spend a time with someone like Cy
-
If I make it 87 years old, I only hope I can be as active as Cy is. It's truly a blessing that YouTube allows us to learn from men like Scott and Cy on a regular basis.
-
Here’s what makes me want to listen to Cy and really appreciate him: he’s a polymath (a person with complete mastery of multiple disciplines) yet he can be filled with wonder when those disciplines are taken in new directions; and not merely wonder, but a longing to learn those new directions. And I think he get especially excited when he sees a relatively young person take one of his crafts in those new directions. Please post more Cy.
-
At 87 and can answer questions with perfect explanation.. WOW! Hats off to you my friend!
-
Thanks for featuring Cy in this new video! He is a great man!
-
The blood pouring out his knuckle is just poetry in motion.
-
About the frog and his vision thereof, a sculptor was once asked “How do you create a horse from wood?” He responded “First you get a piece of wood, then remove anything that doesn’t look like a horse.”
-
My HS welding teacher made us learn gas welding before anything else. Best way to learn to understand your puddle.
-
I, as probably everyone else watching this, wish they had a friend like this living nextdoor. I love this guy.
-
I love anything with cy ! Literally an entire lifetime of knowledge from back when if you didn’t have something that you needed you just made it . Best wishes and keep up the great work cy ,you are truly an inspiration.
-
Older gentlemen in your life are something to cherish. I’ve had several but most are gone now. Thankyou for sharing this man’s knowledge.
-
One minute in - please show us more of this man.
-
Cy Swan is a treasure! Please make more content with him.
-
Video preserved is a great chance to not lose all of the valuable techniques and instruction embodied by men such as Cy. Essential Craftsman is providing an invaluable service to this world at large recording such practices and work habits. Keep up the good work!!!
-
Wonderful to see Cy is still blessing this planet with his knowledge and story telling. I haven't seen him in a while and hoped the best. I say this every time and will say it again. I could listen and learn from that guy 24/7, what an amazing man.
-
Cy should look into buying one of the newest auto darkening welding lenses. They are full color and tremendously improved for visibility and weld inspection as you weld instead of afterwards. Optrel made in Switzerland is an excellent choice, 3M also has a new high visibility. They aren't inexpensive but they could give him his welding eyes back
-
if only we could see Cy in his prime! If he does all this at 87, we can only imagine the stuff he was doing 30 years ago!!
-
Who needs a superhero when you have Cy Swan and his trusty welding torch? Saving the day one custom knife at a time!
-
I know what Cy is talking about when he mentioned failing eyesight in regards to welding, and I can confirm that having lots of light on the weld makes all the difference. I found this counterintuitive, as the arc or flame is bright as heck, but it really does help. A LOT! I also improved my welding by getting a decent welding mask. I still don't see as well as when I was working (I am 74 now), but I can at least make decent welds again.
-
Cy is a wealth of knowledge and experience. Anything he wishes to share I'm listening!
