Amazing Woodworking Matoi Master Craftsman: Morita Hirozo - Wood Nails and Nails in Use

Hello Everybody,
For this quarter, a lot of people who loved my previous videos have asked me to show them the skills of the great master artisans (very few people alive) and even older but they’re still trying day-by-day to pass on traditional values to the next generations.
#japanesewoodworking #mastercraftsman #woodnails
To thank and honor them, we decided to create a series of video shows about them and their work from the footage available from my friends and myself.
Everything has been redone. I have edited the script, rewrote the content, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created as follows: "Amazing Woodworking Matoi Master Craftsman: Morita Hirozo - Wood Nails and Nails in Use"
Today, this video will probably be more appealing because of the appearance of 2 Craftsmen:
Master Craftsman: Morita Hirozo - 森田広蔵
Master Craftsman: Taguchi Yoshio - 田口義雄

So if a building were on fire, the fire chief would assess it and run up with one of these and put it on the roof of a nearby tall building for the purpose of alerting other firemen to the location of a fire? I suppose the smoke might not be a good enough signal? I’m just curious. I know that ancient and even modern homes there are made primarily of wood, only. Especially in the past they would have been made entirely of wood. I would think that time is of the essence and the time spent climbing up on someone’s nearby roof and finding a way to hold that signal up so that it stood out might be rather time consuming. I’m just curious as to why, unless it’s simply a cultural tradition. But usually the tradition takes hold if it has some merit or effectiveness and I’m wondering how effective this would have been in helping attract the attention of men nearby.

[@tylerm.9434]

This reply is a year late but from my speculation, perhaps it was used so when there was a great amount of smoke, others could be alerted immediately to which house in particular was on fire . Or even which house should take priority. That is only my guess though. You'd have to imagine, right? Haha

[@musamor75]

Always a pleasure and a joy to watch. Thank you for posting. I'm subscribed; I've watched a lot of your videos. All the best from France.

What are the thin wooden pins that he hammers into the drill holes made of? Awesome video by the way.

[@musamor75]

They're a go-between metal nails and dowels- made of hardwood. They're actually called pegs, not pins. Very efficient. They've been used since Pharaonic times. You'll find the term "pegged joints" for some really old furniture. When they're this small you can be sure they're hand made. A plank is planed to an even thickness, then strips the width of the thickness are sawn down, then finally cut to length. Actually they should be slightly cone-shaped. The hole is pre-bored to a minimum diameter. It makes for a sturdy joint that won't rust and you can choose how to place the square section so as not to split the wood. 5,000 year-old technique. Cheers. P.S. I wish you American chaps would let up a bit on the word awesome; it looses its force by over-doing it.

[@iestynjones5796]

musamor75 Thanks for the information. Much appreciated. Do you think you could use bamboo kebab skewers for the same purpose (I can buy them in my local supermarket)? BTW, I’m not American but I was genuinely amazed by the craftsmanship in this video.

[@spudpud-T67]

@@musamor75 Absolutely fabulously terrific response.

[@tonyennis3008]

@@iestynjones5796 No. The point is that the pins are tapered. They pull the joint together while the glue sets. Just a peg into a drill machine and taper it with sand paper.

[@tonyennis3008]

At around 4:30, note those pegs are tapered. Very clever. And the drill is tapered, too.

[@markgoddard2560]

It would be better still if we could hear these craftsmen speak and explain their work. No need for music at all.

[@knutgodo]

Totally unnecessary music. Please drop it. Sound from tools makes video MUCH better.

[@User0000000000000004]

All the people in these unwatchable videos look like they'll be terribly exhausted after a day of work. Look how fast they go! They also must have to wear ear protection to avoid the loud music.

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

I see, Thanks for setting me straight!

[@willwagner2252]

I read it took him 500 years to complete one of these.

[@missionron]

Haha, i promise you would be surprised how quick they work. Most tools at arms reach..sharp always!

[@markgoddard2560]

What on earth is the point of fast tracking a master craftsman, and adding beat music? Only in America.

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

sorry for my bad

[@Jeff-uy8xg]

If he’s so talented why are the legs on his workbench only 3 inches tall?

[@missionron]

Please remove the music. Its so noisy. This type of video suits a traditional sound… if any. Thanks! Otherwise great video :)

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

Ok, thank you

[@erikolsson5928]

do something about the awful music please? if you feel you absolutely have to put it on their, mix it a bit less loud perhaps?

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

sr mate, i've adjusted the music volume level down to very low, is that still not enough?

[@musamor75]

@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts I'm afraid he's a bit right about the music. You could have just the natural sound. If possible.

[@seanhollandcanada]

Agree that the music is pretty horrible mostly. Otherwise, a very interesting video.

[@quinktap]

LOOSE THE INSANE AND UN_NECESSARY DAMN MUSIC. PLEASE>

[@rosmelybastidas6108]

Just wonderful, been searching for "contemporary woodworking projects" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Denia Diyictoria Bulldozer - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
