What a beautiful view from your backyard, your like James Bond and retired just chilling making excellent gadgets for your grandson and landscape, I'd love to see inside your house and what you have made. I enjoy your talent , your videos make my day better.

It's always good to see other people and other cultures around the world and realise that we're generally all the same people, living the same lives, sharing experiences and we should unite under shared interests and stop those trying to divide and conquer us. Grandpa Amu's skills and visual happiness is something we should all strive towards and live long happy lives.

You are truly amazing. I love watching you create beautiful works of art with your bare hands. Love seeing your grand son. He’s so cute. Supporting you from the USA. You can see my wife and I cooking on our channel if you wish. Keep up the great work!

When is grandpa Amu gonna write books? His knowledge is a national treasure. Give him a 3D printing.

A 3d printer seems a little wrong considering he makes everything by hand.

Like everything Grandpa Amu makes, this is intricate, strong, and beautiful. After seeing many of his creations using this inter-locking construction method, I'm curious to know if it is a style that comes from a regional type of building technique or is it so ancient that it is just identified as Chinese? Xiexie ni, Yeye Amu!

Las medidas de las piezas serian las siguientes 1cm x 2.5 cm x 5.5 cm. este domino debe ser hasta el doble nueve .
