A new definition of "SHARP"!

Nice job Matthias. After 42 years on western tools, now my ryobas are my go to saws

[@matthiasobrecht1932]

Thank you :) Usually trying japanese tools means a high risk of adopt them ...

[@IrishChippy]

I will be teaching fine working to underprivileged children starting in a week or 2. When they were here last week I had them try out both western and Japanese saws. They found the Ryouba easier to use than a standard tenon saw. I see you are in Switzerland. I am originally from Ireland, but prefer the warmer climate here now. Good luck with your new channel

[@matthiasobrecht1932]

@@IrishChippy that's normal they prefer the ryoba, it's more natural and precise for beginners to pull the saw than pushing it ;) I'd love to go to Ireland one day (guiness drinker 😬). Wish you all luck too

[@IrishChippy]

I am going to need lots of luck. I have a severe dose of diarrhea this morning, and the official opening/blessing of the workshop is in 8 hours

[@lancemillward1912]

Just what i was looking for

[@syntheticmonk]

I would've liked to have seen the methods you use for measuring and marking. Is measuring and marking not an integral part of joinery? Nice video otherwise.

[@luismigueldominguez5487]

Excellent sir, why you wet the wood before chiseling? Thanks

[@gigel99324]

WOW nice catch, i didn't see that. probably because it will make it softer and easier to chisel.

[@ronkopald]

Music credits please! Great music!

[@lightspeedhorse8964]

is that just water sprayed on or something else? Amazing work, thanks

[@matthiasobrecht1932]

Yes, just water ;)

[@richard.maddock]

Hi Matthias - love the video! One question: how easy/hard is it to remove the pin once it's hammered home? Are there any techniques for providing an easy mechanism for disassembly of such a joint? Thanks!

[@luisarashirovideo]

Can you explain your measuring please

[@ared18t]

Are you Wetting the wood with water what is the reason?

[@iBaloo42]

I'm curious about the same. Why wetting the wood?

Ε τι να πούμε,... Είναι απόλαυση να βλέπεις τους Ιάπωνες ξυλουργούς.
