The documentary is not actually 60000 hours long. There is well under an hour of footage for the carpenter so the whole thing is maybe a few hours and it loops those shots repeatedly. It is presented as if it is that long to emphasize the thesis of the documentary. It is kind of ironic that in a film which makes a big deal of the notion that there are no short cuts to mastery they took such a short cut in producing the supposedly very long documentary. I was disappointed to discover this because I was actually looking forward to at least a few hundred hours of nice footage of the carpenter working. They could easily have done that.

Of course with these traditional long apprenticeships you spent your first year filing and making the tea :-)

AT my first place we did have some master carpenters who made some of the hydrodynamic models - the work they did was breathtakingly fabulous works of art in their own right

Yes, it's looped but the presentation is 60k hours (although I haven't watched it all to make sure).
