It must be satisfying for this man to know his ladles have served food to so many people for so many years. A fine legacy.

87 years old, and this gentleman has all his hairs, doesn't wear glasses, and still has all his skill in his hands to master his craft ... Very impressive. Love the woodwork, always so nice to see.

@@Knobiknowswe I don’t see many power tool. You have a lot more control with manual tools. Assuming he apprenticed under another Japanese wood worker, he probably spent a few years training before he was let anywhere near anything vaguely sharp, those tools now are extensions of his hands. A blade might as well be a finger tip as he can feel imperfections and grain the same as if his fingers were upon it. He could no more cut himself as you can tickle yourself

He lives a simple life, he eats a good, healthy diet and he doesn't sweat the little things. We could all learn a lot from him.

His wood working skills are amazing but I am most envious of the fact that he can get down on the floor and sit cross legged while working all day. I can only dream of being that flexible.

I can get down on the floor. It's the getting back up that might be a bit of a challenge. There's going to be some grunting involved then.

That work bench is amazing: vices, holdfasts, a shave horse, etc. etc. I would watch a long demonstration of all the features built into such an unassuming form. And the master uses it all like an extension of his body. Very cool.

Hope you know that the bench is made by the craftsman along with many of his tools.

That was immensely satisfying! If the presentation was twice as long, I would have watched it all. Particularly if in those extra minutes we could see the master caring for some of his tools.

The amount of tools this master has just to make a ladle is staggering.

It’s so crazy how his wood stays intact as hard as he’s hitting it and breaking exactly how he wants it. Insane talent

I’d enjoy seeing how he sharpens his tools.

The special knife is much like one of my Japanese marking knives. It also is not dissimilar to a Scandinavian sloyd knife, which is used to carve spoons and objects. Actually the process with the axe and knife and spoon knife is VERY similar to the one that Scandinavians use to carve spoons and ladles. Very nicely done.

A wonderful video to watch. Is the wood being carved green wood or is it dry? It sounds like it's dry. Please also, what is the name of that beautiful chisel used to carve out the inner bowl initially? The hook knives I am already familiar with. I have many Japanese tools but don't know the correct name for the short broad chisel used prior to the hook knives. I'd love to purchase one. Thank you for sharing such great skills.🙂

The axe, chisel and curved knife work are very similar to english spoon making. They would finish with a knife where he's using the kanna. I might try using a spokeshave.

That hooked hatchet for ripping along the grain is very cool. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that in European carving.

This why you you never hear kids saying, When I grow up I want to make wooden spoons. Because you never get to retire from doing that ever. 87 years old and you're still at it. What can you charge for a wooden spoon anyways? 99 cents. The guy can't have paid off what that wall of tools must have cost him.
