Japanese Blacksmith: Tsunesaburo (常三郎) in Miki, Japan - Traditional / Modern Methods in Kanna Making

[@NSResponder]

I have confidence in vendors where I know that the boss isn't just some empty suit but can actually do the work himself!

[@582tird]

Another amazing video, it is very generous of the owner to allow us to see inside the workings of his process. Thank you for bringing us along. It was very informative

[@ark1200]

Thanks for another great video about Japanese Blacksmiths! Tsunesaburo is a great company and Uozumi-san is a very kind man. All Tsunesaburo planes I worked with so far were fantastic!

[@lohikarhu734]

A huge Arigatto to the chief, and staff, for taking so much time and effort to show us their work and tools !

Nice to have a Japanese Plane Blade Nerd onsite.

こんにちは、The Carpentry Lifeさん。今回も非常に人気のある常三郎さんの工場見学ができてとても貴重な体験ができました。ありがとうございます。🪚🔨

[@rolandgdean]

This is just amazing to watch and I am still just loving the content you make. Watching these masters at work is just such a privilege so thank you for getting this to us...I'm very grateful. As a side note, I'm really surprised how often Japanese workers are allow to work in the seated position. Many employers here forbid sitting down except on breaks in jobs like this and sitting is seen as lazy even if you are not moving and standing in one place all day.

[@patkeefe5834]

Thankyou for making this and Thankyou to Mr Uozumi.

[@zwillx3953]

great job tracking down these legends I want to see one of the older guys like Miyanaga if he's still active. Keep it up!!

[@andersonlong7709]

Fascinating. It’s such a thrill for me to see for the first time how all of the edge tools that I have loved and used for so many years are made. The simple, deep integrity of Japanese craftsmanship is what makes their tools so very special.

[@micssticksnpipes]

I’m saving this video for when the kids are out and I have a nice coffee. 🤘🏽. Great to see stuff like this documented. 👍🏼

[@itsfonk]

As essential implements of traditional Japanese carpentry, it’s nice to see young kana connoisseurs (:

[@twcmaker]

I love these videos. Even experienced makers can take the top 1 or 2 things from these visits.

[@poonblaster2765]

Another great video!

[@CalangoBit]

Greetings from Brazil! I'm a happy guy owner of a beautiful "Maboroshi" since 2017! It's amazing to see how It had been made after years! Thank you! ☺

[@leoamattnet4822]

Another great video! Domo arigato to the shop owner and shop workers!

[@pauljarine]

Another great video! Thanks guys!

[@natewarner]

Very nice! Interesting to see, and to see how concerns for an aging workforce in Japan are common across industries, apparently. Thank you!

[@AIM54A]

Another great video. Thanks!

[@garyradice9056]

Thanks so much for these videos of your visits to the blacksmiths. I appreciate the amount of detail, your intelligent questions, and the video quality. I also very much like that in this and your other videos you focus on your subjects and their craft rather than yourselves. One of the things I loved from the videos of the three smiths is that you revealed their different personalities and approaches to their craft. They all seemed like folks I'd like to know.

[@andreaselme4127]

This is incredibly useful and interesting, thank you!

[@hansjoinery]

This is why Japanese woodworks are the pop even best in the world, system of tools and skills inheritation years and years.

[@ericwiltz6584]

thank you once again. I was wondering when we would see surface grinders come into the picture. Surprising that US timber frame chisel makers aren't hollow grinding yet! It certainly is easily accomplished with a surface grinder.

[@PoorButtersFarm]

I appreciate the insight into the blacksmithing part of the tools. I work in metal fab shops and it hurts my head thinking about that noise level without ear plugs. Cant wait for another house build. Thank you man.

[@RogierYou]

Thank you for sharing

[@krish-ut9de]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOSSS

[@alanwilliamson2259]

Thankyou...a very interesting video.

[@disqusrubbish5467]

What an interesting video. They certainly have expertise. What is the green rust inhibitor they use? I know traditionally they used Tsubaki (Camellia oil) but as was mentioned, it can go rancid.

[@braydeny]

Beautiful video, so informative thank you

[@itsumoshinitaikusoyarou]

Wow!Sukiyaki!

[@ericlipps7152]

I've been looking at one for a while it's 60mm Hitachi metal HAP40 it has Tsunesaburo and Hotei stamp on it.I gotta buy it when I come up with 40,000 yen.

[@WesFanMan]

What was stamped onto the blade at the end of the video?

[@paulorusso9368]

Love the vids

[@NOBLENAGA007]

I just bought one of thier Kanabans 10 minutes ago from Kurashige!! Amazing video. Tell them thanks! :) Also I had to wait almost 2 years for a restock on their 340*90*24.5mm size lol. It would be great if they produced more ;)

[@thecarpentrylife]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@twcmaker]

I'm in the UK. I have a set of Japanese chisels from the mid 80s. I've just bought a set from Japan that need a full restoration. I'm going to make a wooden wheel for my lathe to fix my Uras. Does anyone know what he added to the #40 Emery powder?

Gloves + powertools = 😱😱😱😱

[@Bakhamaster001]

Самый трудо любивая народ Япония и самый качественный инструмент и изделия ❤

[@Jimbob84141]

So this is the famous Tsunesaburo ? I thought they would be a bigger company being one of the best and having so many blades out there or is that another company?

[@thecarpentrylife]

Yes, it is!

[@journeymangardnerjacob5484]

How does japanese kanna fares against hardwoods like teak and rosewood ?

[@thecarpentrylife]

I've never had a problem on teak. I have never used it on rosewood. You may want to match the steel type to the work you are performing.

[@journeymangardnerjacob5484]

@@thecarpentrylife japanese planes are costly but worth it I hope ..

[@PhongTran-vi7do]

Gỗ cứng của vùng nhiệt đới …sẽ làm cho kanna thất vọng

[@Mikishots]

Aogami steel is a high carbon steel. If the fellow says it has low carbon content based on the sparks, then it would have to be Aogami No. 3 - which is still considered high carbin. Confusing statement to make.

[@lohikarhu734]

Ichi ban!

[@killmimes]

Emery is aluminum oxide

[@Ryan-Mather]

what was wrong with the blades initially? to an untrained eye I could not tell

[@thecarpentrylife]

When you flatten the back of a blade improperly you reduce and change the Ura (the concave region in the back of blade) this can change the performance of a blade negatively if you do this. It is best to have a thin flattened cutting edge and a thin side edge. Too much flattening or insufficient flattening are both bad. Preparing a blade for use requires an understanding of the shape of the blade. Whether is it slightly bent and needs unbending, etc. Please have a look at another video showing how to bend a blade so that you can sharpen and flatten it optimally. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5KTcqGtYs6Mgrcsi=GiI2DlEh2j73Qp2t
