  1. I hope that this beautiful work is still being done. I suppose so, because there's a contact address. I have a few Japanese woodworking tools; they are superlative. Thank you for posting this video. I just find that the seeded-up images are not always fun to follow. This is high-precision work, and it deserves to be watched in real time motion.

  2. I would prefer not to hear the boring music, but the original sound of forging… Also to see it in double- or more speed is annoying. If it takes too long, please cut! It would be very interesting also to watch how people use those tools exactly…

  3. wow-im impressed. traditional japanese tool made with modern equipment.

    how to keep tradition and costs down

  4. I would've preferred to hear the sound of the process. The first tool shown we call a brush axe here. It is good to see the process, it is a selling point onto it's self.

  5. Its crazy to force feed the advertisements, why not at the end, if we choose to watch we can.

  6. It is a nice video. However, I think it would be better served without the music. The story would be much more interesting and better told if the sounds of the blacksmith shop was used instead of a soft music background. I found it boring and was putting me to sleep. I'm a blacksmith and love the sounds of smiths and master craftsmen at work. The man in this video looks like a master craftsman. But I don't hear the sound of him doing his work. The music destroys the magic of blacksmithing and just makes a film a little bit interesting. Without the sounds of the smith at work it's boring…

  7. fucking youtube commercials are so annoying. I quit watching this video after the second commercial popped up and disrupted the film again. I hate youtube…and their cheap fucking ads that they are sticking everywhere. Fuckers won't even let us finish watching a film because they plaster all sorts of video links they think we should see. As a consequence we are missing perhaps the most important part of a film… youtube.com assholes.

  8. This video is COMPLETELY MISLABELED. You showed us how those tools are made but gave no indication on what the hell they're for! Didn't blow my mind at all. I saw a bunch of people making tools and nobody using them

  9. I’m not sure if until this time, I have actually felt peace, while watching craftsman work.

    And tho I am not able to read Japanese yet, the mastery and technical knowledge, says more than words can describe ♥️🙇‍♂️

    Namaste 🙏

  10. This is the 1st time I've seen the process of creating laminated steel blades in a semi-production process. It's a cross between standard old time blacksmith forge welding and 'modern' steam hammer forging. By simply hammering the preform of high carbon steel into the blank and fluxing it, it's done in a flash. I was envisioning careful cutting, folding of the outer jacket and then forge welding the layers before shaping, all as individual steps. Instead the rough blank gets the preformed high carbon section driven into the spine and fluxed before closing and finally hammering to complete the weld and close the spine. Japanese processes like this usually turn out to be simpler than expected, but very clever in execution, making a seemingly complex process simple, but usually quite dependent upon craftsmanship and individual skill.
    Thanks for the look at this fading art. Very interesting.

  11. When I was 17, I worked in a heavy production plant with machines like we see here. I can promise the reader that these men have little to no hearing left and that they almost certainly have deeply compromised lungs from all the dust. Life expectancy would be greatly reduced, and yet this is what they did to support their families and see that their children had a better life then they.

  12. Very nice video. Great to see tools being hand made. I would love to know more about the first tool and how it is used. All the tools would be great to use.

  13. The Japanese in my opinion are the best artisans in the world. They make the best blades, Meiji bronzes, silver, stoneware, woodblock prints, stone lanterns, craft whisky, etc. They are simply amazing. What a nice video 🙂
