Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain - Episode Two: Frank Shattuck

Anthony Bourdain and The Balvenie visit the legendary "boxing tailor," Frank Shattuck, in Upstate New York to learn what it takes to create true "bench-made suits." Episode directed by filmmaker Rob Meyer.

The Balvenie’s longstanding alliance with craft is a result of the distillery’s dedication to the five rare crafts of whisky making, which allow them to achieve their distinctive taste and exceptional quality. The Balvenie still grows its own barley, still malts in its own floor maltings, employs a team of coopers to tend its casks, a coppersmith to maintain its stills, and has in its service the most experienced Malt Master in Scotland.

The moment I saw Frank walking his master across the street, I knew imediatly, that man's a G!

[aimercab]

Love, love, love that last scene of them walking arm in arm.
The master tailor is elated with his pupil, and you can almost feel the reverence Frank feels for him in return.
Beautiful!

Watching master craftsmen/craftswomen work is a thing of beauty.

[TutNStrut]

As a martial artist of many years who's long strived to humble myself before my master and never stop growing/learning...I must say, this was beautiful to watch...smiled all the way through watching real discipline/humility on display.

[cinlocybin]

One of the most worthwhile 8 minutes of my internet life! People with passion just give me so much inspiration. This is beautiful.

Who is frank training? These skills MUST be passed on and given life. In the modern world we need to preserve such talent. Well done frank.

The world needs more of this videos on Internet

Frank The Boxer: You're pretty normal.

Bordain: First time I've heard that.

God gained one cool dude. You are missed, Tony.

I like to think that we all seen something in you, Tony, that inspired us all to be a little more cool, alot more adventurous, refreshingly humble and kind, grateful, and always on time. A classic and cultured gentleman, telling timeless stories that always evoke a sense of childlike wonder in all of us, echoing a fascination in hope for all of humanity. Your spirit endures.

This episode made me emotional. The love these people have for the craft is simply amazing; I would even say it makes me recover faith in humanity. Thanks.

Really enjoyed this, more so than anything else from this series of episodes. Just watching this man work and how meticulous he is about everything and watching him take advice from Raphael really brings out his character. Especially loved the ending when he is walking Raphael across the street in NYC. That to me encapsulates the soul of the city. Millions of people and you wouldn't know it from passing by them but those two men are geniuses and truly represent what taking pride in ones work stands for. Excellent video

I can hear echos of my Nona throughout this. I'm in tears. I learned to cook between her arms. This is true beauty.

[JericVillaflores]

Wow, something of a rarity these days! Passion and respect for his craft...I'm awestruck!

[MrUltracoin]

That suit looked SO good on him at the end. True craftsmanship. Great series Anthony!

[giannismarkos]

Damned Tony!you were one special dude!Hope you found peace!

[newinspiration]

I've watched this video maybe 9th time already, but I'm as inspired as the first time!
We can hear and feel the humility Frank and Anthony were "sharing"
and how passionate when master Raffaeli saw Anthony in the gray flannel suit, one can even see his eyes light up with that genuine smile.

[sousage]

I wish this was so much longer! Fantastic, and gives me the warmest feeling. Great stuff! Thank you.

Frank I loved watching you on this show and I loved what said I believe the same motto “ cause I know it’s done properly “
These craftsmanship skill are mind blowing and must be pasted down to young generation cause if this skill dies with these artist/craftsmen these skills are gone for ever and this is hundreds of hundreds of years gone
Thank you for keeping this alive

[thugryde]

This was very cool to watch.  Love the humility and respect for the craft and craftsman.

[Stringman]

Man this is great stuff. RIP Anthony. We all miss you greatly.

[terrywbreedlove]

You can see the respect and admiration he has for his master teacher.
