Native American people have a long, rich history in the Southwest. I grew up in Arizona in the 70s & 80s. I remember seeing them displaying their  beautiful & intricately designed silver & turquoise jewelry for sale at the rest stops along the highways. It would always be laid out on lovely handwoven blankets, with kind people tending to their wares. I wish I'd taken more time to appreciate the incredible workmanship and skill on display back then. Except in the expensive boutiques in Scottsdale or online, sadly you just don't see it anymore.

I am awestruck. The skill, the heart, soul  and the love that went into this piece is breathtaking.

It,s really nice to see a real navajo silvermith making jewellery the traditional way instead made in China

I sat watching this with captivation. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Thanks for the beautiful introduction to metalsmithing.

The sound of cutting metal is like comfort food for my ears. I absolutely love it.

Absolutely stunning work Charlie John. G'day from a starting out jeweller/silver smith in South Australia.

This is an incredible skill and you can see that Charlie has decades of experience with his sawing ability and silversmithing. Wow!

Замечательный фильм! Спасибо, что показали работу мастера от начала и до конца.,как-будто рядом с отцом побывала, который давно уже ушёл,Привычная рабочая обстановка в мастерской, инструменты. Творческие люди везде одинаковые, что в Америке, что в России. Здоровья и творческих сил замечательному мастеру!

I bought one of your cuffs years back in Gallup, and it is a treasure. I'm wearing it right now! Thank you for sharing your talent in this video. God bless you, your work has blessed me!

I love your videos, no talking you let your actions speak for themself in this video.  Its a beautiful buckle, I love Navajo art.  My great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee very sadly I was very young when she passed.  I only have a few pictures of her and I together but I think she would be proud of me to know just how much knowledge I have aquired of my anchesters English and Native American.  I practice silversmithing every day whether I have a comission or not, even if I'm not making an item for sale I will pick out something that I am terrible at and do it over and over again. But thank you for you videos.

My sister has two of this works of art and they are absolutely stunning. Thank you, they will stay in her family forever.

I love watching a master craftsman at his work; I find it both mesmerizing & calming...beautiful work, Sir ✌

I've been watching a lot of silversmith videos and I realized in the middle of this that my job was just hanging open watching. Jaw dropping for sure. I am amazed and impressed. Thank you so much for sharing this. I feel like I just found the silversmiths' silversmith.

I learn this talent in one day after my father and my grandfather learn me how i use the then i pratice around tweleve hours then my father told me you learn ninety percent but you need more practice specially when you turn the saw

A true master, a national treasure.
