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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@dsteiny8597]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@andrejohnson6731]

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

[@mattbennett6453]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@macedindu829]

Amazing. Your skill and patience are something to behold.

[@troysmith3177]

Wow. This was awesome and absolutely beautiful. Nicely done.

[@musicalcomputernerd6474]

To call this “awesome” or “badass” just simply doesn’t do it justice. Sugoi

[@reduniverse0]

Man, a lot of work 👍

[@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?

[@bobdriggers6111]

exceptional work......bravo

[@methlonstorm2027]

you made a nice job of that well done

[@vivipopo163]

Men you have so skills that s amazing it is finest work congrats

[@JPsBladeworks]

Thats amazing work. How long did it take you to do that handle?

[@hawleyfromhell]

Great tsuka work!!!

[@dirkvantroyen9170]

People, give this man a like and maybe a follow. So many viewers, so few likes.

[@ej558]

absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

[@bobdriggers6111]

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

[@AerzenMexico]

Beautiful work!

[@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.

[@bubashalom8274]

Excellent job

[@acraftman2823]

Legend.👍

[@sidneyriggs9764]

That is beautiful.

[@honzan_dot_ca]

Great stuff! I'd ask you to share the measurements you have for your Tsuka (only the wooden part), if you don't mind. What's the proportion you usually do with the blade? I'm quite interested in learning the way you think to make one

[@robbiekingston6303]

ive been searching for ages for a fine flame gas torch like the one youre using. will you post a link please as to what it is and where to find one. absolutely splendid work!

[@abuxmedia]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BlackBeardProjects]

🔥

[@DisgruntledGrunt]

What an epic build! Congrats on all the progress you’ve made. I’m assuming you will be making a saya for it as well? Can’t wait to see you make that!

[@philippec9922]

Nice job 👋
