I have so much respect for the Japanese approach to building and making. I am a carpenter myself and a bit of a truck nerd so I have a great appreciation for Japanese carpentry and vehicles. It seems like building things that last, and the integrity needed to do so, is a deeply rooted value in your country. Much love and big up Japan.

@@ConstantineShinkevich Yes, it is and no, we most certainly do not. We fuck everything up, and nature will put us in our place soon enough. But not before we fuck everything up.

La tecnologia Aritugi es un Arte que no me canso de admirar

The West is only just beginning to discover the art of Japanese joinery, cabinet making, woodcarving, and many other crafts. Only the total respect of Tradition can maintain time worn techniques in craft and art. The respect your country and people show towards all these fascinates the West. There are very strong links to Nature all through every work. It is this osmosis that the West does NOT understand. Power tools and machines have killed the rapport between Man and Nature. I'm a woodworker myself, and have always tried to use manual techniques rather than high powered, fast cutting machines. Wood has its own energy that goes in different directions, and only hand work can take this into account. Here in Europe, up until the 18th century all wood was hand sawn, carefully choosing the direction of the cut. It was then stacked, and reserved for the use only two generations later. The next generation down was not allowed to use it during their lifetime. I live in France, and when the roof of Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris burned down, they realised that they would NEVER again find the same quality of timber for the restoration project. Completed in 1225 (I believe), it took 250 years of building, on and off- as cathedrals were built because it depended on finance, and they cost a fortune to build even at the time. Some of the oaks used were up to 800 years old! The sheer size of the beams required extremely old and large trees. The oldest oak in France is nearly 1300 years old. But the necessary trees no longer exist. I have the greatest respect for Japanese skilled workers, and have watched many, many videos on various crafts. I bow down to your country Sir. I just hope that the modern era will not affect Japan's values in the future. Warmest greetings from France.

@@musamor75 You mention Notre Dame and Craft tradition. Do not lose appreciation of the crafts of the West as well. These large stone buildings has preserved masonry in Europe to a level probably unequalled in the modern world. I'm from Asia and a lot of our stone buildings, notably churches, centuries old, cannot be restored to the original state as masons with the necessary skills are near extinct. In the last few decades as they crumble, intricate mouldings are replaced with simpler patterns or worse with moulded reinforced plaster or cement (carving in other mediums is alive and well).

Bravo

Most likely with a honing guided tormek wet grinding wheel... pricey but worth it.

@@AverysMan1105thanks for that tip 🤙🏽

Just rub them against something abrasive. Don't make it complicated and buy into a bunch of nonsense. Just get a double sided stone. Super easy and fast.

@Serge Keke 👍👍👍

Thank you for your compliments, you are not satisfied where can you tell us so I can fix it. Hope you have the best experience

hey so this is a japanese method not indian so stop running your trap.

Good question. Per the video, there is not shelf.

The cross member could have run all the way through the top half of the 2 joining pieces to prevent falling out the bottom but yeah I was thinking the same thing

thanks

thanks ♥

The traditional wisdom is to layout the line correctly and cognizant in such a way that during cutting the line (or rather, the imaginary line) can be split in half on both parts. This requires the craftsman remembering all the micro inaccuracies during line layouts, cannot be reproduced in a factory setting or machine facilitated workshops.
