I've seen his videos before, but they show up randomly. They're always fun and interesting to watch, though. I'd love to learn how they build houses like this.

Skilled carpenter.

As an oldster, visiting the zoo seems very much a pain in the ass, but to take a kid to the zoo and see it through THEIR eyes is a kick.

He put him there to test the bridge. If it fails at the very least it was just some random kid he nabbed off the street just for this very reason.

From Lil Giant Would have been nice to say why he built it and how long it took to do so. Could just be a short silent line on the video. Man builds bridge for . . . and it only took . . . weeks! I remember a parable about an old man who came across a wide stream one night. The old man was able to ford the stream, but when he had done so he stopped, and began to build a bridge over it. Later, when he was finished, those who saw what he had done asked why he had done so. It was not his river or his land, but a public byway. He had already crossed and did not need the bridge. The old man answered something to the effect that, “While traveling I saw a youth, who is traveling my way, yet is far behind me. He may, being young and inexperienced, make a slip in the darkness or find the way too long and difficult. I build a bridge for him. I build a bridge for those who come after.”

The sad part is people will probably just walk around the bridge

One of The Best Artists I've ever seem 😍

Its a de Vinci bridge

Just factory produced tools that make it possible to get the level of fit and finish it has. It's cool but people need to chill on the weird idea this is special, it's bronze age technology.

@@philipyates3194 it may be old technology, but it does take skill to use them this well. and also those are not made in a factory. Someone of his skill either makes there own tools or they are hand made by a master tool smith.

​@@lukesteele5013 ​ @luke steele The axe, hammer, builder's square, saws, chisel and shovel are all store bought ones, not some weird artisan made tools.

It would be an honour to work with him :)

A true craftsman. Amazing work. Just a few old school tools. Real talent.

日本比我们保留的还要多

True.

Would this thing really be more reliable than a modern steel bridge? That seems unlikely.

@@GrassSaint33 Steel doesn't grow on trees

Hopefully the baby at the end will carry wood for the dad in the middle when he pulls this bridge up like the gramdpa at the beginning with the new trees that need cleared for the garden in the future. :)

Rodger Campell you are stupid, stop trying to kick knowledge and act like you praise this dude. I can build that with a pneumatic air gun and a 12 inch circular table saw in half the time than Mr. MIYAGI

@@paulieramos Grandfather of mine had me helping build houses at 8yrs old. I have a 26 year masters in HVAC-R. I worked heavy industry, industrial plants, chemical factories. I got an engineering degree. I guess the difference between an arrogant self absorbed prick and someone like me who belives in the values of the old ways. Yeah, go use your power tools and your rude behavior and build a great bridge so you can feel impotant when you lack wisdom, skills and manners. Have a good life wonder man✌

Wonderful comments

Ima write something so i could get back to this comment in the future..

Wise. This is the problem with politicians, they never make long term actions, just acting for votes in the next election.

marcel escoda exactly, our politics are destined to fail

Are you implying he is gonna die before getting use out of the bridge?

Exactly what I thought too! At first I thought old foo was gonna wreck the wood but nu'uh he done good.

It's, actually called a foxed mortice and tenon which is good to see but very rare these days.

YES! Tgat was my favorite too

Yeah, Me too ..... I do admire much about this kind of self - knocking system , what a genius design WITHOUT a piece of nail, just by Inter-locking system like dovetail design !

Yes, I agree this advance tech

I would never have the patience to make those dovetails with hand tools. I could build that bridge with hand tools and no metal fasteners, but it would not have the degree of craftsmanship he put into this project. Very well done.

@Baby Lon He did use nails... but just for previewing the central structure at the beginning of the video

@@nlight8769 where do you see nails? Around 0:50 there are only pencil marks.

Impressive work! Strong and beautiful!!! That must be ancient technology for sure!

@@AkariLimano at 0:48 bottom of the screen on the quarter left, look closely, this is not he only place, but this one is the most obvious. For this assembly to hold at that moment without any sort of mortise or "slot lines", he either had to use some kind of rope, or nails, or glue... nails it was. Nothing wrong about it, and nothing diminishing his skills, but hey, I have the impression that many people actually overate his skills. He obviously wasn't taught with the utmost precision as we tend to do in the west, just with the right enough precision where it does makes most sense, in a highly functionnal and efficient way. No time to waste sorta spirit, whith hand tools. The dude is amazing and impressive regardless. Just saying that his videos should motivate anyone to actually give it a try, they might be surprised that in the end the most diificult is not necessarly what it might seems at first glance.

Ccp sponsored videos. They are popping up everywhere on KZfaq to give China a better international face. Videos like these are artificial upvoted to become trending. There are a lot of documentry about soft power in China here on KZfaq. This is probably all fake and the bridge isnt used for anything.

I've built tables with the same 'fox wedged tenons' and then also 'through wedged tenons' and I can tell everyone, if the bridge was wider, you could EASILY drive a 18 wheeler across that, loaded with a bulldozer!! Yet, not an ounce of glue or a single screw or nail used! This is how things need to be done! Astonishingly beautiful!

Japanese learnt this skill from China back in Tang dynasty

Most Chinese farmers are moving to live in urban areas now. But it would be sad if this art is not passed down to the future generations.

He has a kid (or in-law), who help him off-screen, which is also the father of boy who appear in this and some other videos.. That guy also the one operating the camera, editing it, upload on youtube, and also mantain this channel.

Ah, yes, I adamantly agree with you all concerning this skill being passed on. As I have attend arts and crafts shows most of the booths are attended by what would appear to me to be a senior person, so, in order to perpetuate the skill I have asked some if they are training a young person? And sometimes that young person is assisting in the attendance of the booth, so, they are not only learning the skill but also the business side.

@Aconite sucks, should be guilds to ensure the true skilled craftsman get paid. Same reason why grocery store bread is the norm not the exception.

It's known in Japan as Joinery. Not sure if the Chinese has any stark difference but the art itself is surviving ok. Definitely not as well as it should but there are a lot of enthusiasts around the world who learn and use it.
