Japanese Master Craftsman

[bloodynuts2]

think he should build a aeroplane if you got to listen to that music allday

[adamcturnbull]

cept Japanese home building is anything but high quality craftsmanship. I know. Lived in Japan for 14 years. Its like 2 worlds. Craftsman and tradesmen. Fortunately the former is very alive.

[llew777]

For those of you who do not understand the meaning of quality workmanship, In Japan this is considered an art. This is not something learned overnight, These craftsman are constantly striving for perfection, to them everyday is learning experience. Think of that when you view your next poorly constructed house.

Thank you for sharing True Art with Us Rob From Canada

LOVE THESE PEOPLE ..ALLWAYS BITS OF FINGERS MISSING

[smokes00]

what kind of joint is this?

[chisel54]

@smokes00 It was an ankle joint... or maybe an elbow.

[SnapperGrogan]

@smokes00 It's a wedged scarf joint.

[1gmarquez]

what the heck is all that talking

[labrat7357]

Thanks for posting this clip . I was amazed with the fit of the joint. I was also amazed by the ratio of sensible comments to sensless drivel comments that were posted.

Why does somthing that shows such skill threaten the half wits so much?

[kenny474]

Ahh, using the ol' foot vise! Those japanese dudes sure are limber!

I'll stick to my nice twin screw and face vise, thank you. I can feel my leg cramping now! That or I'd have a chisel hanging out of my foot in no time!

[boldger13]

We didn't see the full finished joint. It looked like it was supposed to have a pin in the center.

[MrDozip]

you realized hes onlly got 8 and a half finger right ?

[kenny474]

@MrDozip

8? I see all ten myself. He's missing the tip of his left middle finger, but the rest are all there.

[TamagotchiBotnet]

He should build himself a table.

[tubestick00]

45degree mitre with epoxy resin and screwed together. or spend hours on a single joint.

[orlandofriend]

looks like a scarf joint for the most part.

[spacehopperballs]

hehe - complete bollocks - I am a master and I can tell you that is a single piece of wood which has been cut with a band saw - notice how the grain is perfectly matched etc - are people this stupid jgm-ni

[eurotraveler1000]

@spacehopperballs hey master can you explain how you could cut the tenon bulging out of the surface of the cut with a band saw?

[eurotraveler1000]

@spacehopperballs hey master can you explain how you could cut the tenon bulging out of the surface of the cut with a band saw?

[kenny474]

@spacehopperballs

Hey fathead, you must have a funky shaped blade on your band saw, because mine only cuts straight through and doesn't leave a tenon in the center.

Mind telling me where I can pick up one of those tenon-in-the-center-of-the-cut band saw blades? I sure could use one!

Master of nothing, you're a keyboard expert sir, and those, my friend, are a dime a dozen, and sometimes less!

Go back to World of Warcraft, you're likely much more useful there.

[spacehopperballs]

@kenny474 i have some lakeside property going real cheap you could do lots wood work in the garage. :-)

[geraldnaruto]

i think it would be easier if he bough a longer peace of wood ?

[xm377Moyocoyatzin]

What's he making?

[nonspinkick]

and he hates Ikea furniture

[jjmqwerty]

a lot of those joints have a wood pin through them to lock everything in place. i thought the hole in thejoint might be for that

[ethomfactusest]

that's a really nice thing he made.

[jhawkdavid]

mass production is destroying the native arts the world over, so, yes, it is bad.

[missionron]

I couldnt even see the joint after it was put together! beautiful combination, Japanese and Wood...

[wazii6]

i am fascinatid with japeness capentry i wish that one day i go to japan and learn and MASTER style

[WolYou]

There are no better craftsmen for wood than in Japan. With all the Wolfcraft equipment available a western carpenter wouldn't be able to make a joint like this one :)

[factie]

bullshit i cut scarf joints by hand on a regular basis

[leloodallasmultipass]

and by foot?

[mstusak]

if I could get my foot up there to help hold, I could do that

[steevestuff]

makita

[emforty2]

yup power tools are so overated!!

for mass production yes..

lots of great monuments and things that lasted 1000 of years up to this day were made w/o power tools!!

look at all the TV programs they all use gizmos just to cut a hole in a wall? well except for Roy Underhill

[omgwtfbbqstfu]

partly true. problem is only the rich get "stuff" when things are so fancy. its just how it is. so all in all, mass production aint so bad;)

[ferfsake]

that is a lapped scarf joint isnt it?

i can be wrong been a long time since i read that book .

great to se smone do some of it thanx

[shutupjackass]

Wow, fits like it was cut with a lazer. Nice work.
