any updates on this sword? How has it held up?

The only improvement need is the belt holder have to hanging on a circle ring to absorb movement to move like a pendulum moving free back and forth ( if no you hit constantly with brushes or crossing a fence etc…

I used to play this when I was station in Korea back in 1977

Big property what state is this and how much was it

It's a sick property! I didn't realzie you were so crafty

Not gonna lie, it felt pretty good, even though my playing was not!

Awesome to see you playing go in 2024 ❤

Nice place !

Leave the bird, it will eat the spiders and insects

As an old guy I'd like to offer some advice. The lock on a door on a place deep back in the woods normally only results in a damaged door and does little to nothing to stop thieves. With nobody around to see or hear them they have no issues breaking stuff. Some signs about Beware of Dog here and there might be helpful as a deterrent. If you plan on running your driveway back further I would like to suggest a base layer of river rock first and give it a couple years use to push into the soil before adding a top layer of crush or chat. It will hold firm and save money normally since most places river rock is cheaper. Love the place you got there and your creating with what you have on the place ( wood logs and poles ) for fencing, gates and such. Our places zi have done since 1997 all have had variations of Jenkins "Humanure Handbook" composting toilets and we love them. Missouri and eastern Oklahoma are clay and rock for the most part so creating soil is a must. It was nice to see you doing the same. Never need a plumber, no plunging, no water everywhere it's just simple and works. You mentioned not using a gas mower, you using electric? We switched to almost entirely all Greenworks now. We started with their corded stuff for most of our needs in around 2010 but kept gas for our rider and things to far for a cord. Now in 2021 we swapped all over to their 60v system for our Riding mower, string trimmer, chainsaw, pole saw, pole trimmer, leaf blower, pressure washer, shop vac, push mower, and work lights. Never need to run to town for gas, no carbs getting messed up from sitting over winter and the batteries charge up quick. Hope to see more updates.

Nice to see you back in the game buddy been following you since your go content hope you're doing okay

I love this, you need to show me your collection!

If You plan to use a single large board You can't just square it up; You have to look for the vein, then cut it in half, plane the 2 pieces separately, reverse one and join them again. in this way the opposing forces prevent it from cupping. Ask a friend woodworker nearby, of if You haven't one, go to a forum.

Please make a guide, what is the order of watching youre videos

What is Atari?

Very informative, thank you!

Shame they stopped making this and the folding goban that was similar color and held stones inside in square boxes. Whoever running that company now isn't very smart and their current offering of goboards is subpar and disappointing.

Pine is a good wood, and actually crafty unlike so many slap assed people who would've just lazily used a plywood sheet.

No feet or legs on it. Not suitable for floor.

Man that’s way too thick. They used to have a smaller one with more rounded edges and not that rough border around the playing surface. Like the 12 inch Shogi and Xiangqi boards they still sell use that frame still. No idea why they stopped using it for go, even in my Xiangqi set you can see the circles inside that would hold the go stones containers when this frame is printed with Go on it instead.

11years ago but still very helpful. I can only imagine how much you’ve progressed since then!

please come back to utube

@3:34 "and they die," what happens if it's a single stone! lololol, they is plural! none of this trans bollocks!

all his, what about female players???

I got the same kukri bro

I like your ecumenical awareness. good stuff

480p Video but 4K Quality Explanation

Thank you for this!

thanks for the video bro

As I understand it, it is more important to cover more ground than to capture enemy pieces, is this correct?

I don't know what go is but still thank you for the recommendation of this

Do you guys have solar panels?

I am young person who is just interested in Go chess. Thanks a lot about ur vids. They do help beginners have a close view of Go

How does one gain the strength to not try to eat the pieces?

Well done….. you have inspired me to get av13 set… thanks

You used some video effects but couldn't horizontal flip the image so text is readable lol! Nevertheless gladI watched, got some ideas about what you pick up.

An easy to learn game, but difficult to master.

hey duddha i got so excited when i saw your name in my sub feed. i used to watch your go videos all the time and they inspired me to get into the game. Do you still play? Will you make more go videos any time soon? much love

Nice to see you are still alive. Are you still playing Go? Greetings from Germany.

I'm trying to figure out if my go stones are actually glass as they claim or melamine plastic, which is much more common... so I'm scouring KZbin to find any reviews of the melamine... and lo and behold! It's you! I'm still not 100% sure - these stones make that same clinking noise (and aren't just like, little hollow plastic pucks), but your zoom in at 9:19 assures me that these aren't the same as mine. My white stones are basically non-edible Mentos in shape/color/weight, not flat like yours. I do actually like the matte finish on your old stones too.

I'm watching and trying to follow along with what you mean for that book quote - and then you go "Who understands that? That's crazy" 😂 THANK you. I think I need just parenthetical definition of terms for a little while until I can remember them - or mnemonics. That last example, I would have gone for the easy kill as white (those two stones to the far right) - but I understand when you're explaining that it would be skipping my only chance to stop black from getting like 9 moku, so I shouldn't do that.

I have the go board now! I'm playing along. Thank you so much for this series! I do kind of wish I knew more about the consequences of the openings, but I feel like your explanation of territory vs influences goes a long way toward that.

What type of stones are those?

Man, I love your explanations. Whenever I learn something, I really need to know not just advice, but the consequences of ignoring advice (and what I should do in that case). I feel like a lot of explanations would stop at 3:07 and take for granted that I know why white needs to block. I'm ready to feel confused. But then you say "if white DOESN'T block," and I sag in relief. Love this series. I'm going to try to hold myself to watching all of them - and practicing along and replaying parts that I need to.

This looks like exactly the series I wanted to find. Thank you. Maybe I really can practice on a (cheap) goban. Are your stones glass/ceramic or melamine?

Very helpful - thank you! Now I need to find a video explaining in more depth how to rearrange the stones at the end of the game to count moku.

Decided to learn go and this video was really helpful thank you :)

man, go is sick. i can't wait til' I break past the 25k level... just takes a while :(
