An expensive nail!

[@catalot5804]

I could see this being used as a ceremonial "first nail" like how executives use a golden shovel for the first scoop of dirt or cut an opening day ribbon with big scissors. Edit: yes, also like the last railroad spike, as every other reply seems to point out. Never again will I leave out a possible example from a comment lol. I've watched hell on wheels so I know about the last golden spike, guys.

[@legitgamer4862]

[@sampathsenathunge1062]

I love this idea it very creative and unique, just suggesting a tiny hook on the inside of the nail head to attach the chain so that it will come out nicely would make it perfect.

[@dustingooding4870]

Yep, my first thought as well!

[@ulrichkalber9039]

Or put a jewel in the head and fix that to the chain

[@goldcd]

Might cause the chain to twist as you unscrewed it - and as you twist chain, it goes rigid and expands. Would be good if it worked, but would worry it would jam inside the nail and then get ripped apart as you carried on unscrewing the head.

[@dragosmihai5030]

@@goldcd he can make the hook spin

[@MrRusty-fm4gb]

Not trying to be a dick but a hook would look tacky. If anything adding a nice thin velvet liner for inside the nail to reduce noise and protect the chain would be dope. Or instead of the diamond anti-slip tread on the head, he should have made it resemble a tiny eggo waffle. Other than that, I think it is perfect how he made it.

[@dustingooding4870]

Very beautiful and masterfully made! Add a hoop or clasp to the underside of the head of the nail to pull the necklace/ bracelet from the body of the nail would have been icing on the cake. Well done!

[@Kenjiro5775]

Not sure what impresses me more: the box or the nail! They are both incredible. 👍😁

[@Galerak1]

Absolutely amazing! Just like any backstory that can combine a gold chain, a brass nail and "Suck it up" into the same project. That's gotta be some backstory 😂

[@AlexYeryomin]

It's a pun. A funny part seems to be lost in translation. "Suck it up" means 'accept a hardship' but "ЗАБЕЙ" rather meens 'ignore, forget that' But! 'Забей гвоздь' literally means 'hammer a nail'. This title on the plank is like a reminder "Don't worry, be happy".

[@suzz1776]

so beautiful would be the perfect gift to my father , a carpenter who has survived cancer, liver transplant and who raised us three kids even though he isn't our biological father, we consider him our bio dad but i couldn't be prouder of him, he still works with me daily in the family business, and i will let him work until the day he drops because that's what he wants to do. I honor him daily by taking the load off his shoulders and carry it proudly. i wish i could find a gift like this somewhere around here, more importantly i wish i could build it myself.

[@EyeonU100]

I’m truly amazed about your craftmanshif… You are truly a modern Takumi!

[@AnAmericanComposer]

Did anyone else think he spent all that time engraving that dowel at the beginning just to sand the design off?

[@christianheichel]

If you look at the nail after sanding design is still there just de-burred and smoothed out.

[@vaheakli4551]

Ironicaly, that was his first attempt to engrave anything using this method. So it could possibly go wrong... But the tube itself is too thin to give second try. It even slightly bended in first try

[@pfadiva]

A lovely and unique presentation box! You have mad skills in the manual arts along with video making.

[@suzz1776]

What he does isn't really manual. He is using a cnc machine and a computer guided lathe. He isn't really doing anything manually except sanding and polishing. But either way, the concept if nice and it does take time to learn how to program those machines. I do everything with hand tools and antique tools and lathes so if I was to make something like this, it would take a long time to do cuz it would be done with no computerized tool help or cnc machine. But either way the concept of what he does is cool but anybody with access to those tools he uses could make this no problem as long as they knew how to program and work the tools.

[@andrejspecht8217]

[@ruben9912]

absolutely a-mazing work! Instantly subscribed. Great video as well. I have one comment about material choice, although I realize this may have been a request from the customer him/herself. The beech looks a bit cheap and plain next to all the wenge, gold, craftsmanship and the obvious blood, sweat and tears spent in obtaining it. Besides that I am now officially jelly AF and pining after ways of obtaining one of these amazing little lathes in the future.

[@GulliJ]

Totally agree! This guy is not human 👍👍👍👍

[@LolageDude]

For those that are confused about the "suck it up", it is actually a play on words as zabei means suck it up or fuck it, but it also means "hammer it in" like a nail. Amazing video though, love your work!

If you had a tutorial on how to do these things as well, your channel would be the best machinist channel in the world. For example, no clue on how you programmed the CNC lathe in the beginning, in order to create that beautiful pattern. Did you use some kind of CAD software? Also, it would be great if you did a tutorial for the most common tools for the lathe and the milling machine.

I second the programming / software question!! I would also like to know if the machine is stock or did you modify it to do the engraving?

For anyone wondering why he has random give it up engraving, he might mean exactly that but with the context it’s most likely a mistranslation. In Russian, забей does mean suck it up, but it can also mean to drive something (eg. drive a nail in the wall; not actually driving)

Sabeu in Catalan means to know and/or "don't mind it" but Google translate struggled with the letters, so it might be Romanian. The gold chain is a traditional gift for a baby, but also shows up in Judaism. The nail is a symbol for the original nail that held Jesus to the cross (or tree). There is also a Buddhist poem the golden chain: We will be kind and gentle to every living thing and protect all who are weaker than ourselves. We will think pure and beautiful thoughts, say pure and beautiful words, and do pure and beautiful deeds. May every link in Amida's chain of love be bright and strong, and may we all attain perfect peace.
