Eric Hollenbeck runs Blue Ox Millworks in Eureka, California, a workshop stacked with antique lathes, saws, and molding machines he has restored and pieced together himself. Ben Proudfoot's short film follows Hollenbeck at his benches as he shapes wood by hand, missing fingers from decades of work with unforgiving machinery, and talks through what the trade cost him and what it gave back. A Vietnam veteran, he found in woodworking a way to steady himself after the war, and the film shows him passing that same discipline on to at-risk teenagers he takes on as apprentices at the mill. Nicholas Jacobson-Larson's score stays quiet under the workshop noise, letting saw blades and planers carry as much of the soundtrack as Hollenbeck's own voice. There is no narrator; the camera simply watches him work and listens to him explain it. What emerges is a portrait of a craft that demands the whole body and a man who has built his life around teaching it before it disappears.
