[@Ujeb08]

this was an amazing video of an amazing artist and craftsman. As a retired toolmaker (modern day) I was fascinated to see all of the hand made tools he has collected is his long lifetime. I wonder if he made the tools himself and if he maintains them too. His precision is fantastic as he makes quick blows with a clumsy looking hatchet-like tool but never goes too deep! The tools have to be razor sharp in order to be so precise. I'll bet he treats his tools as like their his children. Then the ancient work holding methods are very interesting too. wedges to fix the work and hold it without damaging it at the clamping points. loved watching this man work!

[@egglyph]

Not a single toolmaker would use wire or electrician tape to repair a handle, so yeah, he maintains the tools himself.

[@elained9591]

I thought was very interested in his hold fasts as well. I imagine he knew or knows a local blacksmith who made the tools as it’s a different trade but maintenance would be on him and he sure does it well!

[@TheShurikenZone]

I'm a greenwood spoon carver, and I'm fascinated... though not surprised... to see that Japanese spoon carvers use many of the same techniques and nearly identical tools to what we use in the West.

[@elim7228]

​@@TheShurikenZone well, that was the first time I saw someone use a small plane to round out the outside of the spoon/ladle bowl. So, the technique was quite different. I found similarities in the use of an axe and that's about it.

[@TheShurikenZone]

@elim7228 I have no idea how you're carving your spoons, if the only similarity you could see was his use of the axe. The only somewhat foreign technique I noticed was his use of the plane to shape the outside of the bowl.

[@MrPilikia]

This man is obviously a master of his craft, but his workshop-with every tool in its place-is amazing.

Super efficient - have spent quite a few hours myself making ladles from hardwood. Props for his cross legged seating - hope to be able to do that in senior years 😊.

🎨✨ It's incredibly mesmerizing to witness the process of creating a ladle by such a skilled craftsman. The artistry and precision involved in their work is truly captivating. Watching them masterfully shape and mold the metal into a functional and beautiful utensil is a testament to their years of experience and dedication to their craft.

[@michaelfrederic7343]

Wood. Not metal! But I agree with your point.

素晴らしいニホン工芸の鏡みたいですね。工具の多さにビックリ🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@cowboyblacksmith]

I was a potter for 30 years, after you master your craft it becomes second nature like walking. But, the feeling of satisfaction of creating something from nothing is beyond compare. It never ceased to amaze me after all that time how I knew exactly what to do and one step at a time do it, without having to think ahead. It was almost like watching someone else’s hands do the work. The end result is in the mind's eye right away, yet little treats of unanticipated change along the way keep it exciting. Sometimes I wondered who came up with these ideas, they fully form in the mind instantly, not calculated and overly planned. Being an artist is one of the greatest joys in life, to see something most would never consider and just sit back and watch your hands go at it. The neurons firing up thoughts, and eventually they're a 3-D tangible object outside the mind and in the real world is so trippy, it really is.

[@IanSmithKSP]

I appreciate traditional crafts, but at the same time mastery involves an ability to adapt. This guy spent like an hour doing what a band saw could do in 10 minutes. A hybrid of tradition and modernity is best. Tradition for its own sake is stupid. Everything was once new anyways. These spoons take forever to make and they look like shit

[@toolthoughts]

flow state

[@wallysonruan]

@@IanSmithKSP Concordo. Pensei que elas fossem ter um design especial, mas são bem regulares. Creio que qualquer povo que resolver fazer uma concha de madeira vai fazer uma igual a essa - e, provavelmente, com um processo bem similar, não entendi o que a torna especial o bastante para esse vídeo.

[@MadNumForce]

@@IanSmithKSP - It's a free market. People value craftsmanship enough to allow craftsmen to make a living wage. Industrial makers looking for high production volume and low cost per piece do their thing too. But the need for high output tends to rule out materials like wood, as it's bothersome to work with: it needs drying, it may wrap, shrink, crack, there are knots, there can even be nails ruining your expensive tooling, etc... You end up switching to plastic, which makes production vastly more scallable. Wood, though widely available and cheap, is scarcely used for consumer goods: only tool handles, and even there it tends to get replaced by plastic. Most "wood" furniture now is particle board, precisely to get rid of the inherent variability of natural wood. We even make wood veneered particle board to look a if it was real wood, which is pretty stupid, much more so than an old dude living his best life crafting his spoons in his workshop for whoever wants to buy them.

[@velvetchiharu]

@@IanSmithKSP yeah I don’t want to sound like a hater but that was not a nice looking (not even particularly ergonomic) spoon. I’m happy he’s able to live comfortably doing this, I hope this activity keeps his mind sharp and his body healthy for a long time. Japan has this reverence for craft it seems where even the most mundane of crafts are celebrated. I saw a woman at a craft fair on another video and she was selling hand made body bristle brushes, but like the most mundane item in the most basic form. I appreciate that it brings special attention to mass market produced items that we consume, I bought basically the same brush at target for $3 and when you spend so little it’s hard to consider that someone somewhere probably made it by hand on some level :( However, this one and the woman’s body brush are not even particularly unique. I would 100% buy a handmade wooden ladle, I would pay whatever it is worth and I would cherish every moment that I used it. I love using single special handmade items in my day to day life. But I wouldn’t buy it from this guy, the design is just.. perfunctory.

We are all driven to do what we do and if we quit we go away..
