nice to see! Have seen Tuareg smiths in Mali, but never how they made a saddle! Very nice documentation.
yes it is verry nice, i use to watch them from the beginning. cuting the wood and giving the first form until bringing to the markt or giving to the costumer.
i love watching the restauration of ol pieces, specialy when the owner standing just in the near
the yellow boxes in the background are only teaboxes. without tea everything stops. i always take tea and suger when i go visite them,we prepare it together and use the opportunity to talk whtih. then they don´t feel that i m disturbing them
nice custom with the tea.......... in Mali they make the tea so strong, after some days, if you take that tea every day, you get a headache, if you do NOT drink it for a day! Don't know why, but it is like that. I like it, but the pity is, it is so full of sugar, and you cannot take your toothbrush along and brush your teeth all the time.....
