Bestmade Axes - Beauty in Wood and Steel

I have Eastwing hammers in my tool box, an Eastwing hatchet in my camping gear.  I have a collapsible bucksaw, I use a splitting maul to ready wood for the wood stove every year.  I take pride in my tools, not only the physical ones, but mental ones and digital ones too.  They are how I get the job done.  These axes are so beautiful, and the marketing for them might as well just be putting a target on my forehead.  Check these Bestmade Axes out.

Not only is the logo beautiful...

Not only is the web design and product photography beautiful....

But to add to it they had to go and make these videos, which are all worth watching.

"It's wood... and a piece of steel... put together.  Sitting there as this capsule of stored energy."

I think it is getting to be that time where the operable window needs to get its hands on a phantom.

The RED Epic hits the scene.

The RED Epic has been out for a few months now, and at a third the size of the RED One, it's showing up in some places that filming with a larger camera has been tough in the past.  The new RED Epic has 5 times the resolution of an HD video camera, as did the RED One, but this one has another half stop of dynamic range, can process HDR footage up to 18+ stops of dynamic range, and can shoot 60 fps at all resolutions.

What does this all mean?

Take a look and see for yourself.
