haha put that against american framing.. 🤣

I am bunnies

This kind of passion is so rare these days. Too much emphasis on turnover and profit margin, not enough effort on making things that are unique and stand out as beautiful in their own right. Planned housing developments here in the US are a great(horrifying) example of standardization and loss of quality favor of turnover and return on investment.

I just bought one of thier Kanabans 10 minutes ago from Kurashige!! Amazing video. Tell them thanks! :) Also I had to wait almost 2 years for a restock on their 340*90*24.5mm size lol. It would be great if they produced more ;)

Wow so expensive

what's the address at Japan

Love the work, is there any way to get a good quality masakari and chouna online ?

It is heartwarming to see a wonderful craft being passed down and drilled rigorously to ensure no knowledge is lost.

I love seeing all that wood come together so cleanly. It's so wholesome and almost healing to watch.

Can u compare them to made in china ? 😂😂😂

Which store was this? I’ve got to two, including one in Chiba and it wasn’t this one.

What is that thin sheet of wood used for?

Anyone with bad BO can make this a bio-weapon.

Compliment for tutorial video 👍👍

1114.23 dollars for a set of chisels? Or has the exchange rate changed that much?

Wonderful video of almost obsolete craftsmanship!

I saw your earlier video and you had a Hawaiian shirt on, so you are becoming bilingual? Wonderful stuff you are sharing, I have a fairly comprehensive share of western planes and chisels, but have learned the oriental origins and its fascinating. Great work!

Thank you 🙂

Gloves + powertools = 😱😱😱😱

I wish I could share a laugh with the old man because Bro was struggling without clamps. That old timer had to step in and show em how it was done. Soon as I got into wood working I didn’t know how much all these guys relied on clamps. I never clamped or vised anything for 15 years as an electrician and never used power tools. First off it makes your back strong… hence the phrase” put some back into it” really your whole body and second I could feel what the old timer was feeling while our young friend here was looking like a toddler trying to open juice box! As a young man of 37 I gotta message to put out there and that’s “put some back into it”😊

Thanks so much for these videos of your visits to the blacksmiths. I appreciate the amount of detail, your intelligent questions, and the video quality. I also very much like that in this and your other videos you focus on your subjects and their craft rather than yourselves. One of the things I loved from the videos of the three smiths is that you revealed their different personalities and approaches to their craft. They all seemed like folks I'd like to know.

Japanese tools are amazing.

Where can I get a set

Hello, are the woods used in the construction of the house not receiving any kind of treatment? And what type of wood is being used?Regards from Brasil!

Can I ask what month was that? Thank you 😊

Beautiful video, so informative thank you

Thank you for the video. I've always been curious. What about the keisaburo plan. I really want to buy it, may I know the email address of this blacksmith?

Was this home completed yet, and if so is there a video showing the finished look? This design is amazing.

A dream shop. I probably would have spent all my money if I were there 😅👌🏻

Hi. I'm still going through these amazing videos of yours. So thank you. The gentleman you buy the, Kannas from at the end. His jacket is amazing. Could you cover (film) some vintage workwear clothing. Maybe modern and vintage. I have a small collection of French Sanfor jackets. They are very good. But the Japanese ones have a wonderful style too. I would like one.

Very expensive

I wish there was more emphasis on natural products, and quality over quantity.

It's surprising to me to see him using what looks like rift-sawn white oak instead of quarter-sawn. Won't this make it so that the base won't stay consistently flat from season to season? (especially since white oak has almost a 2:1 tangential to radial expansion)

Where is it? Thank you!

Those are masterpieces, no doubt about the quality and accuracy. Thanks for all the details.

Oh my god.....❤

oh gosh, what a wonderland! I shouldn't go without a supervisor …

Dude selling woods but none seems to satisfy him, but I feel like I can trust him.

Bud you've got something going good for you stay around the old times this is where Knowledge and wisdom is made.you will go far this way my new friend

For the wooded hammer. Is it safe to assume using rubber or metal spilts the wood because of the type of vibration the material gives ?

Traditional architecture like this is extremely expensive and cannot be built by the general public. Most ordinary houses are two-by-four buildings.

This is the type of video that makes me wonder if a career change at 40 is possible

Hello. What kind of wood is this large hammer for hammering in beams made of? Thank you and best regards.

Interesting the multiple tool ability in their so very specialized mentality. Absolutely not a lack of talent, but what a society will pay for. The USA wants those tools this gentleman makes, but want to pay a Harbor Freight price. I would be embarrassed to buy this man's work at a rate less than he would be comfortable receiving. Anyway, I realize I am wandering as Im waiting to have a medical procedure performed. The pain meds have me feeling maybe better than I thought.😂

The dog legged chisel.... awesome! I want to buy a plane is it possible....

I have the Naniwa app 300 to 16000? Thoroughly enjoy them. Thank you for these videos. There is a tool store in north of Alabama in the USA. They have 2 shelves that are 3 foot wide. Each shelf are app. 25 feet long. They are filled with files of all shapes and all stages of production. I get lost right there every time I go there.

Very good thank you. Love the kiln drying process and info they share.

So very nice! The craftsman and the video. I am 65 years old and all my life it has been the same. Most upper level craftsmen will explain their processes until they are blue in the face and are happy to do so. As I heard a foundry craftsman explain, "I will explain to my competitor how to make these parts with no problem. He still will not be able to make the part". It was not arrogance, just a fact. He was that good. 😂 Thank you for the "mini training course".

I love this. The process is really important to get the similar results. Great video. Love the mallets too. I've made a few mallets. Maybe I should hang one outside my workshop door.

I'm so glad that I found you channel. I love the Japanese and how they do everything, always striving to do the best job and show respect to all.
