Could you imagine if he had a brother named Mack?...

@@joshuaduitsman9553 lololol NERRRRRRRD

Hey wwv, he could have a brother named Mack. I don't know, but if he did it would just be another example of "less is more".

[@BadTiger]

Having 2 younger men give their services for free to thank Mike for his years of entertainment was awesome. Mike Rowe forever

...pause 😳🫣

[@dylonpress7034]

I love the fact that it's a dont tread on me coin. What a wholesome episode

[@esthermarygold-lowe4403]

Mike has given more than he will ever know. This is why he's a famous role model for all of us. My 14 yr old is taking welding.

[@dylonpress7034]

We love him. I've been a blacksmith since I was 15 I also do a ton of welding. I tought myself almost everything I know. Working with your hands is an art, skill, and a blessing

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Many of us are trying to revive these arts. I make knives & the leather sheaths/wood core scabbards to match as well as other hand tools, leather etc. America needs more of it.

[@KJ4RMZ]

Love you and your dedication to our country and it's craftsmen and women.

[@MissKitty2024]

I have a simple ring made from a silver dime. My neighbor made it for me over 50 years ago. I watched him drill out the dime's center and pound it out on an anvil under a shade tree in his yard. It means a great deal that it was hand made just for me. Love ya, Mike. Keep up the good work!

[@denisebledsoe8836]

"Dirty Jobs"was one of my absolute favorite shows!!! Love this man ❤

[@ArielK1987]

Anything done handmade is 1000X times better then something that was made by a bunch of machines in a factory.

a machine only makes what it is designed to with the materials provided. good luck getting clothes made without automation.

[@shazam6274]

Yeah! Just like your phone and earbuds!

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

what about handmaking the machines that make the machines in the factory? or programing the AI, that controls the machines that make the machines in the factory?

[@ShivaServer2009]

The fact that you encounter 2 individuals in craftsmanship, that watched you growing up, to me, says you influenced their path more than you or even they expected it to. You met 2 people who watched you growing up and the admiration in their voices says it all. The look on your face with each one saying that, must have put you on Cloud 9. It sure made me smile. I watch one of these episodes every lunch at work. I work at a Walmart. You are my all-time favourite to watch during my lunch. Used to watch Dirty Jobs back in the day too!

[@KBeMaybe]

Thank you, Mike, for shining another ray of sunshine on our great American artisans!

[@DorianMoore-vj7qb]

I never change the station when Mike Rowe is on screen. I've never loved a TV personality more. He is gorgeous and brilliant and hilarious.

[@barbatloosenutproductions2027]

Yep! He is gorgeous and brilliant and gorgeous and hilarious and lets not forget, he is gorgeous! 💪🤗💜

[@ericcox6764]

I started taking woodworking classes in 1972 at 12 years old. I learned early on that quality isn't expensive, it's priceless! Every job that I've done in the past 50+ years, I have unconditionally guaranteed forever. I'm proud to say that I have never had a dissatisfied customer or a recall on anything that I have ever built. I'm happily retired now and enjoying life as I'm converting a Transit van into my traveling home.

I still enjoy teaching leather art. No longer a leather artist by trade(retired) but still show others what I know.... Love seeing this!

Mike Rowe has been a fav for a LONG time!

[@scottvolage1752]

Keep up the good work Mike Rowe. God Bless you sir.

[@shalea976]

Nothing better than American craftsmanship. Pay more for the quality. Spend less in replacements.

[@V1LLN556]

Nothing beats a handiwork of a craftsman. It's always built with passion, hard work, and love; and it last a lot longer than most machine made things.

[@brucesahroian1482]

Things we don't see any longer!!?? I remember there was a "Craft and Saddle" Shop near my home town. They taught how to make designs in leather and creating such things. Our Boy Scout troop used to pay visits there a lot, until It burned down one day! Never again!!

[@lisacusenza716]

This is so great, it’s awesome to see young people crafting and taking a bad situation and making good out of it. I love it ❤

[@easypickins2]

So good to see now a days, younger generation doing trades again, there is hope. Thanks Mike for all you do.

I wish the youth would want to be professionals like these guys. Not some social media nothing.

Skilled tradesmen and artisans are a boone to society that was slowly becoming less and less. Fortunately, it seems on the rise once again and I am grateful for it. Thank you Mike for highlighting how valuable skilled work is from myself and hopefully every other skilled tradesman and artisan out here in this crazy world.

[@Slong970]

Mike going back into his roots of a TV salesman with the marketing ad they did qvc style was hilarious 🤣 that made my day better for 17:14. Thanks Mike! Lol 🇺🇸🙏

Nice wallet. I have one made in the USA from baseball glove leather I purchased from The J. Peterman Company many years ago. I've taken care of it and it will be around after I'm gone.

My dad made a ring out of a nickel. He pounded it with a spoon. The inside has the words on a nickel. Dad made it for my mom when he was on a ship in the Pacific. It looks like a silver ring. I wear it occasionally as it has a lot of memories.

I know I have commented before on your posts about it, and I also sent pictures of my Knobel Eclipse experience.

[@nvz357]

After watching this episode I was wondering if you have heard of Jimmy Diresta. I am sure you would love him since he checks all the boxes when it comes to the need for tradesmen like plumbers , welders and carpenters. I believe he was one of the first makers and may have popularized the genre more than anyone. It would be a great collaboration between you two….that’s the way I see it….😂

Too bad this didn't air when you shot it. Wallet dude closed shop about six years ago! There's a thread in the r/Atlanta subredit from 3 years ago. He stated then that he had closed three years prior. He went to help other local artists, and focus on his full time job. Kinda side funny, I went looking for him because I thought that $100 for *that* wallet was a steal!

[@Gregknows-uj8gg]

That was an awesome video!

[@Lukesh30253]

The first time I ever saw Mike Rowe do a Ford commercial I thought they should have a commercial where he says in his regular size and voice. Hi I am Mike Rowe and then there is a little micro Mike rowe in the palm of his hand, and he says in a little high-pitched voice, and I am micro, and then the guy finishes the ad and his helium sounding voice.

[@jonnyphenomenon]

@Mike Rowe, if you have ever doubted your value to the world, just listen to the people when they say how much of an impact you have made on their lives. These people aren't your fans; they are your children. WE are your sons, and daughters, who only later in life realized just how right you were all along, and all of those lessons you taught us, which you so masterfully hid away inside fart jokes and innuendos have made us into the strong, competent, hardworking, and willing to get dirty to get the job done, men and women we are today.
