I come back to these videos again and again and each time my love and respect for Japanese craftsmanship grows. There's a nobility to it that is lost when age tested skills are replaced by reliance on modern machinery. Thank you for continuing to make these wonderful videos available, though I don't speak Japanese the message still comes through loud and clear. God bless.

Indeed. I listen to Japanese Koto, Shamisen, and flute music while I work with hand tools(almost exclusively now) in my wood shop. It keeps me centered and prevents me from rushing. I know when I'm getting tired or impatient. I'll always take a break when that occurs. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran Marine. I heal my soul from war in my shop. God bless and be well. Phil Yeager

I'd really like English subtitles as the craftsman at 4:40 clearly explains specifics of stock preparation. Or perhaps someone could recommend a book where BASIC Japanese style stock preparation is detailed?

Using that ribbon instead of clamps to hold the parts of the drawer together,while the glue sets, is a clever trip. When you see the number of "clamped" drawers curing on the selves you can see that using clamps would be impractical in that shop.

Anyone know why the European woodworking tradition is so adamantly against striking chisels with a metal hammer? I had done it that way for years. Until scratching my head one day, I wondered why a notoriously thrifty and economical tradition (Japanese) would use iron hammers when iron was even more expensive than it was in Europe... (Because it is much more efficient is the answer.) The only catch is you need a ferrule at the butt end of the handle.
