Tsuka: Crafting the Handle for My Wakizashi - Complete Process from Raw Materials

[@sinsiliuxs120]

Wow, what a journey this has been watching you build this beauty and seeing how much attention you put into every part of this build. I can't wait to see your next project!

[@ericcartrette6118]

I don't comment like I used to, but I still watch all of your videos. You, Sir, are a Genius and a master craftsman! I love watching your work take shape. I appreciate that you show some of your failures as well. Great job! The Wakizashi looks beautiful.

[@masterQ20]

Thanks to the skillful and intelligent craftsmen who beautify life.

[@riuphane]

This really is an incredible reminder of what goes into an expertly created sword and why they're so expensive. You did an incredible job and it came out remarkably well, even if it's not your exact specialty, and you should be extremely proud

[@erikdobes9777]

I appreciate that you got the ura and omote knots on the right side and that you started the tsukamaki on the right side too. GOOD JOB!

[@andrejohnson6731]

5:53 that visual effect when the ink courses through the grooves is REALLY cool 😊

[@sjv6598]

Absolutely outstanding attention to detail. The copper accents along with the ray skin and silver feathers? Huge round of applause 👏🏻

[@blainerobinson7737]

I have admired the structure of the furniture that make the art of the sword. This video is just amazing. You, sir are a true artist. Thanks so much

[@dsteiny8597]

Must be so rewarding using all your own handmade tools to complete these projects

[@Zoso14892]

It's been an absolute pleasure watching you turn from a determined amateur to a gifted enthusiast over the years. I know you aren't a master of any one technique, but the breadth of your skills is astonishing.

[@mattbennett6453]

The change of materials, from shiny brass polished and shadowed cloth. Craftsmanship at its elegant form

[@mahmoudomara5421]

Thanks for sharing your journey making that sword with such great craftsmanship. I suggest that you compile a full time-lapse style video of the whole build once finished. I believe it'd be a very interesting video to watch.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks!! I will for sure!

[@johnuriniuk588]

What craftsmen skills absolutely great work. The time and patience you have are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@kurotetsuoni1315]

A beautiful work of art. Hope you make the scabbard for the wakizashi in the next video

[@mcblade85]

Dude... it goes so beautiful that I wanted to like more than one time. You mastered that so hard I can't even say how perfect it was.

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Remember: always like an odd number of times. Never even!

[@macedindu829]

Amazing. Your skill and patience are something to behold.

[@gwcstudio]

Beautiful work! I also love how the speedup and edit make your movements look super clean and self-assured. It is very satisfying to someone who goes into great horking spasms of stress while fitting a handle.

[@M13asan]

Always wondered how the wrap was done. The use of those shims was really interesting. Keep up the great work!

[@clayweaver2066]

Fantastic work from beginning to end. Very well done, Sir! Very well done indeed. An heirloom quality piece that is fully functional. Anyone would be more than proud to own such excellent work.

[@stromnessboy5171]

As expected, this is a work of art! Every element of this project is stunning, produced with the precision of a watchmaker. Truly a craftsman at work and an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@troysmith3177]

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

beautiful wakizashi and koshirae

[@bobdriggers6111]

exceptional work......bravo

[@Beltfed45]

It's beautiful. Amazing work sir!

[@soonerfrac4611]

The pin hole is supposed to be cut off center so when you use a tapered pin it forces the handle more tightly against the rest of the assembly. That’s why the friction fit is so tight from merely a single pin.

[@madcapmagician6018]

Truly a masterpiece 😁👍

[@stupidocanerosa]

Meh... an average job done by an average Joe. Just kidding! Thanks for showing us your huge skills. Always a pleasure to watch such a prepared person doing outstanding parts.

meravigliosa. non ho capito il motivo dei due inserti di nastro isolante nero ma in ogni caso, meravigliosa

[@rodneylane7640]

This has been a fun and interesting series to watch. Some of your finest work on display. Well done and good to see it finally finished. We have been following with alarm the terrible heat wave you have been suffering through over there in Europe. We see Italy is one of the hardest hit. How has it been affecting you and your workshop?

[@William.Shakespeare]

if you ever decide to make a solid piece blade for hiking or what have you , try notching just under the blade and nothing 1/2 an inch above the bottom and you can use 1/4 inch or less leather thong to make the twisting japanese pattern on the handle . it stays flat and simple without bulk and affords an excellent grip . cheers one smith to another .

[@William.Shakespeare]

wanted to add you did an excellent job with the tsuba

[@philippec9922]

Nice job 👋

[@bobdriggers6111]

You are one of the most tedious makers on the Tube! You make my hair tired. 🙃

[@abuxmedia]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BlackBeardProjects]

🔥

[@micah06v8]

I think the handle turned out beautifully. While I love the fact that you still use traditional hand tools and methods, I really hope that that ray skin was synthetic 😢

[@LockBits-ts6eo]

Superb.
