Incredible! And even more so when you realize that if he's making tents, that he is working with heavy canvas, not nice, thin, pliable cotton! He must have hands of steel!

Neat video. I think his big thumb was a great tool in folding and holding the fabric as he sewed. That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it.

Wow! And he just hacked a piece of with scissors and straight away went needle turning! No template, no freezer paper! I wish I could do that - I'd have made a hundred Baltimores by now! :shock: :D
