Belt Buckles, Music Boxes, Pocket Knives
Tony Bose ♦ Jonathan Herz ♦ Ted Allsup
Host Jill Wagner travels the country on a quest to find talented craftsmen who still make incredible items by hand. In Englewood, Colorado, Jill meets an acclaimed team of belt buckle makers. These artisans use any material they can, including sand and minerals, to adorn their custom Western themed products. Up north, in Montpelier, Vermont, Jill meets Jonathan Herz who has single-handedly revived the lost sound and style of 19th century music boxes. Finally, in Shelburn, Indiana, Jill is on hand to see legendary knife maker Tony Bose craft one of his highly sought after pocketknives.
