How to Make a KENDAMA! (Japanese skill toy) // woodworking

[@TopherStrudel]

This is my favorite DIY video of all time. It’s completely informative of every step. Every shot is nice and the slowmo/cuts all line up super well with the beats. I love that you put your homie on at the end too!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Topher it means a lot!! Cheers dude!

[@donmatter1219]

Yoooo this kid's just out here making kendamas!! Right on!

[@IsemanCRE]

This is the best how to make a kendama tutorial yet and it was playable!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks! I'm honored.

[@kusari]

Bro.. this is hands down the best homemade kendama ive seen. The grain of the wenge is gorgeous 😍

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you so much 😃 I also love wenge

[@albinotwister]

This guy deserves way more attention. His vids so high quality!

[@willosmensshed9296]

Many thanks Miles, I had not heard of a Kendama before...your great instructional video showed how it was made, but your friend, Tadan, really showed us how it is used. Well done to both of you.

[@MakeWithMiles]

I'm glad we were able to teach something!

[@ahenson4297]

This inspired me to start saving to build my own Kendamas by hand! Thanks a ton for the video! As a former student of a cinematography school, this was excellently filmed and edited! Absolutely major props and hats off to you, my friend! I’ll be purchasing one of yours myself when I get the extra funds. :)

[@levijosephwest]

Amazing production quality. Thanks for the cool content!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Levi! I appreciate it.

[@bikkurimark]

solid video. in all ways possible. Great explanation and detail amount, great filming and editing, and great dama play by your buddy at the end. solid!

[@rogerthat227]

This is EPIC! It's a dream of mine to turn my own ken. You went the extra mile and made a killer tama. Seriously, well done! 🙏

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks dude!

[@tortoiseOThighway]

The grain on the serado is crazy! 🔥🔥 keep it up man!

[@chemicaldotori]

I watched this video every week from Feb, i really want to make kendama someday and i really respect your skill. thank you for making nice video

[@bezelfor]

Truly fantastic execution in the shop and such a wonderful collaboration, I was surprised by how well this video all came together right down the the editing. Bravo!

[@fabulous3284]

Great video! I recently started turning my own Kendama and got stuck with the question of how to clamp the ken while making the base cup and how to clamp the sara-do. Looks good the way you did it. Thanks!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Awesome, good luck with your kendama!

[@jersonvzor]

Brilliant video, excellent shots, fantastic editing, great music. Pleasure to watch this!

[@jason18edm66]

Incredibly underrated channel

[@chaselyons31]

Bro dope edit! Love the vibe!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks dude, I really appreciate that.

[@Donrickytheonlyone]

dude this is amazing, would love to play that dama, the shape looks dope

[@jakebozz7677]

Another excellent video, Miles! You've got workshop skills!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you so much Jake!

[@timdalton9773]

Incredibly well made, brother

[@arimitchell113]

you deserve to be way more famous

[@MakeWithMiles]

Haha thank you Ari ;)

[@arimitchell113]

np!

[@lfabich]

Excellently done

[@patefutch6168]

Dude you did an amazing job

[@MichaelAlm]

Nice one Miles!! Great build, and video too! I love all shots of the rain while you’re finishing the sphere, and the final shots look like they are straight from Kuma. Well done!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you Michael! I am always trying to make my videos better, so It's good to here that people liked it. See you at maker faire!

[@MichaelAlm]

@@MakeWithMiles Yeah man, can't wait!

[@Raul-fv4gb]

What kind of clear coat did you use?

[@sammykolev9315]

Can u make some for an order?

[@elijahsawyer513]

I bet that lunar balance is niceeee

[@kennethduncan4643]

Aight this is sick

[@patefutch6168]

Epic!!!! Keep up the good work and whatever negativity is on here can take that somewhere else

[@robmkeith]

Cool video, nice work! Does the internal radius of the cup need to be deep enough that the ball only sits on the top rim of the cup?

[@92HomoVegetus]

Amazing!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks!

[@brunoribeiromachado3332]

vou tentar fazer um desses com carretel de linha e pedaços de madeira ou PVC para ver no que vai dar espero que dê certo

[@LukasJBeck]

such a dope video! thanks!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Dude!

[@matthewjohnloren1995]

I wish all kids had a workshop and tools

[@andrewdavis6687]

If you ever make another, I would like to buy it from you

[@MakeWithMiles]

As a matter of fact, if you want to buy a ken, check out my IG; thats where I release new kendamas for sale

[@markchoitz443]

awesome video and great project, looks like a lot of fun to develop some new skills.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you, I in fact used some of the wood you gave me for this project!

[@baloganyshreds]

so sick! i rlly want to make one now lol

[@cosmeticshade7654]

So dope

[@jeandesbois7752]

What paint did you use for the tama ?

[@MakeWithMiles]

Flexcoat spray!

[@ijanmte]

where'd you get the clear coat?

[@MakeWithMiles]

The clear coat I use didn't turn out well. Since then I've found that Flex Seal clear works well. You can get it at Lowe's

[@ijanmte]

@@MakeWithMiles huge thanx, im from Europe but trying to find a solution

[@packtavious1871]

Wow, Tadon is really a good kendama player. I’ve been playing for about 4 months and I’m nowhere near as good as him

[@jacobshier]

4 months is literally nothing in kendama. most pros are at least 5+ years into kendama

[@chemicaldotori]

Hi Miles!! I wonder what did you use last time you coated and covered at Tama Can you tell me what is it?? Is it just painted spray? Or other things??

[@MakeWithMiles]

Sorry for the late reply, I would recommend flex seal clear spray to coat the tama

[@cadenrice]

What lathe do you have?

[@MakeWithMiles]

Jet 1221vs

[@cadenrice]

Make With Miles thanks!

[@clownophil]

Really cool Tutorial, but does all these tools belong to you ??? I would love create a Kendama, but I haven't all these tools ! Your kendama is unique and beautiful

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you!

[@davideleonardi7171]

Dope video

[@sinis7r]

this was dope asf

[@jakethasnake3524]

What clear coat was used on the tama??

[@MakeWithMiles]

I used a waterbased polycrylic, (flat) but I wouldn't recommend it because it wasn't as grippy as I wanted.

[@emmetsmith1970]

Awesome man, thanks 🙏

[@reforzar]

Nice work Miles! It turned out great. I would advise you to not just break the waste pieces off as the wood can break into the finished piece. Use a chisel or saw. Excellent work on the sphere.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Brian, I do regret breaking it off, but I was able to mostly turn it down afterward on the lathe! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sh_i_ro]

BUMP

[@davidziemelis1593]

Where did you get your carbide tools and for how much

[@MakeWithMiles]

These are the tools: www.rockler.com/carbide-mini-turning-tool-3-piece-set

[@bluequad9492]

i turned myself a ken out of an apple wood thats been drying for 5 years. very strong wood!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Nice!

[@waterisclear1565]

What did u spray the tama with? Just wondering because I’m thinking of making one

[@MakeWithMiles]

I used a waterbased polycrylic, (flat) but I wouldn't recommend it because it wasn't as grippy as I wanted.

[@will_liamworld]

I want to learn wood working

[@callmescooter]

sick!!

[@robertcornelius3514]

Good job. You're probably out of college by now.

[@dorlezzskillz3455]

I m the 600th like u have likes 100 times more than dislikes and u deserve it

[@MakeWithMiles]

Awesome! Thank you so much :)

[@ollimonkare5554]

How much you would charge to make my custom made ? My design? 😎😎🔥

[@MakeWithMiles]

$1,000,000. No, just kidding. I usually don't do custom work because I can't always satisfy everyone's needs. But, I will be dropping a batch of limited edition damas in a month or two on my etsy. It just makes more sense for me to come up with a style and make multiple rather than making single customs, I hope you understand.
