A tradition of skill. A lifetime of excellence.

Two views of the same car. One man who used to draw it.

Why this story holds.

A Sikh engineer. Handmade tools. A classroom. A machine they said could not be built.

The blueprint of legacy.

Bal in the Aston Martin shirt. The blueprint in the film is older than him: a blacksmith's plane, a carpenter's letters, a boy who wrote "this is my dream" with the A missing.

Watch on YouTube.

Great craftsmanship never needs an introduction.

That is the line on the graphic. The film still introduces him anyway: Bal Choda, Sikh engineer, Aston Martin.

The finest work is built with purpose.

Bal in the seat he can actually explain. Stitch, perforate, cool air on a hot day. That is the invention in the film.

Looking up at the poles. The film will tell you what went up there.

Every line has a story.

That is the line on this frame, and it is the film. Bal Choda grew up drawing cars. His granddad put a matchbox Aston Martin in his hand at seven. He told himself he would work there.

He does. Watch Crafting Legacy, a Sikhlens documentary, on YouTube.

Behind every great achievement lies a lifetime of dedication.

He is holding the flag. The lifetime in the film is a blacksmith's plane and a child who would not stop drawing cars.

"You might be global experts. I think it can be done."

Bal, in the film, after they told him no.
