Lol, nothing would surprise me with the Japanese 😊

Expensive bog roll

I've seen them weave them into baskets

They'll do that..

I need to know if they do!

Damn!

"Advanced."

Japan is all but advanced theses days. Still using fax machines in most workplaces.

Japan is by no means advanced

Alex Vikendi what is exactly your point ? „Hurr they use pencils and pens. They are not advanced Durr“

Bruuuh cope

Lawl to the 3.4m people now!

Is it normal to get wood seeing those chisels?

Worse then a gambling addict spending a day in vegas... i would leave there so broke, sell off my house, cars, kids, wife...

@John Fisher I'd like to know what your poetic abbreviation means. "MGTOW" ? Some form of Newspeak I presume. New Age Man?

Man could you imagine the look on their faces if we showed up with our stanley planes and asked to compete :)

yeh, but can you imagine if we won???

Hours planing scrap wood!? Dude you can't possibly be married, or you've been married a long time

Das Ganon thank you that's crazy

Thanks for putting it in perspective I️ find it that much more impressive now

Thanks for that, which naturally brings the question. Why aren't there any emphasis on sharpening skill in this vid.

I used to cut tissue section for histology using a microtome. We cut to 8 microns routinely, the knives were sharpened on a glass plate using precipitated aluminium oxide as the grinding medium and water as a lubricant.

statorworks 345 What are the cpu transistors made of and how are they manufactured?

I remember, however, when it comes to “traditional “ craftsmanship...the truth is those craftsman are amazing! But yes, much of the products imported after the war left a lot to be desired! Do you think being beaten and nuked might have been something to do with it? IDK ...just my perspective

Hand Tool Rescue, love that one of my favorite youtubers is also a fanboy here. Keep up the badass restos!

Hey ✌️cool man me too the best 2 youtubers

Ha! I’m subscribed to at least two of your channels as well. I don’t subscribe to a lot but I love to watch you guys build, fix, repair, and engineer stuff.

+Hand Tool Rescue I just saw a vid of yours refurbishing an asbestos shingle cutter. Good to see you didn't poison yourself!

Woah two of the best channels!!!!!

And the winning shaving will be even less... I bet that's a fun hobby to compete in.

And impressive to see the fellow actually humble. Nice to see him appreciate the skill of others.

Ha haa!

I think you mean school toilet paper

SO THAT'S WHY MY COLLEGE TUITION IS SO MUCH!

If single ply toilet paper was as comfortable as those shavings they would charge more for it.

Not to mention the start of your reply sounds like a$$ hole with a japanese accent lol

@@squishy3217 so true

Kind of makes you wonder why the Chinese went to the bother of inventing paper if they could do this... (yes I know this is Japan, but still the Chinese invented paper and lots of other things which the Japanese took and made their own, often even surpassing their original benefactors).

@@MrGoatflakes Paper has random oriented fibers to distribute ink an the force of the pen. This material probably would not be the best to write on.

@@travsb1984 That's only most Western style paper Traditional Japanese Washi doesn't. Not sure about Chinese paper but I think that like Washi that also has a noticeable bias because of the way the fibres are laid up on the deckle. Which would make sense because the art of paper making in Japan like so many other Japanese things was first imported from China before becoming its own thing. Washi also isn't sized if it's being used for writing, which of course is actually written with a brush traditionally. That means that it isn't actually particularly suited to writing on with a metal nib pen without further treatment. Also don't forget parchment isn't even based on fibres and Western pen calligraphy evolved with that not actual paper. Paper wasn't really in much use in Europe until say the age of discoveries or perhaps the late middle ages? Traditionally soap was rubbed on the paper to size it in the West. I don't know the treatment applied to parchment in Western calligraphy, but believe the Jews always have make their Torah scrolls out of sheep parchment prepared with literally only salt and wheat flour. Which continues to this day, in fact all adult Jews are commanded to produced or have produced at least one Torah scroll in their life. And I believe the writing is traditionally placed upon them using iron gall ink and a cut reed pen, much like Western calligraphy, although the cut of the nib is different because it is written right to left. Not sure what Muslims used to used for their Quran before the eventually acceptance of printing for the Quran. I know that initially Muslim were very resistant to printed Qurans, mostly because the first Venetian attempts at producing a printed Quran for export to the Muslim world weren't very good, being not properly cursive and the dots being wrong despite being composed of the correct characters.

MrGoatflakes Don’t forget papyrus ‘paper’.

Dead last.

they were amazing! :D

Paulownia!

454pakr Exactly. Those boxes r so cool.

I believe in some places, they call those "hangars." ;-)

454pakr autos

It's almost like people are people 🤫

swampratt36 incorrect, beer brought me here, laziness forced me to stay!!

Yes! Three cheers! Delightful video. You're a true craftsman.

Light Studios Why do people bring religion into everything.

diggymgee because for some people it is everything. Don't be hateful he pushed nothing on you. Requesting that he stops preaching what he believes is the same as someone trying to push it on you, so be a kind person to everyone and then it doesn't matter what you believe in.

cj c that doesnt answer my question

diggymgee the first sentence of my comment literally answered your question. Stop being belligerent

At least they put USA. I was expecting them just to write "400, big white dude"

Didn't you mean to say "Blame Canada!"?

Jim Cooney I think Alaskan yellow cedar is the preferred wood

thanks I didn't know that

If that's what they are using, I'm glad they're planing and not sanding it. AYC is toxic. Cheers, Alan Tomlinson

For The Love of Music so damn funny

Did your feet hang over the edge?

Painteagle at X 0.75 the drums are awesome!! 😍

Painteagle

Wan 99 yes?

Painteagle ha, I was thinking thats a long way to go to make toilet paper.

Won`t go for anything less than 3-ply 250 microns..

Mike .R. its just like saying is there any point in kicking a ball around a pitch, do they need to do it? Its what they enjoy doing so let it be.

It's just a competion to see who can make the thinnest shaving,that's it.

Perhaps seeking this level of precision leads to better honing techniques or metal production that holds a better edge, which over times may translate into a practical changes in the craft.

The practice stems back to flammability. The smoother a wooden surface is, the more difficult it is to catch fire. The thinner the shaving, the smoother the surface. If there's a wooden item in your home, you don't want it to catch fire. Right? However, the competition is just that; a competition.

Is there any practical reason for The Olympics? No, just a competition of woodworkers.

Are u gonna pay me if i answer your questions?

@@MuszZico do you accept cookies? 🍪 🤲🏼

Yeah & do you think your quality of wood was any different than the others?

they probably rented you crappy wood, so you woodn't win...

I think every AvE subscriber adopts some of his Idioms.

Some of the prices I saw in the video for planes were in the range of 48,000 yen. Sorry but I know the conversion to freedom bucks is 100 - 110 yen to one. That puts them at about $480 - $440. Add in the canadian pesos exchange and it's friggin more than a fap-on. But it'll chooch like no other.

Solid answer!

Some of those idioms are memes he adopted himself, but perhaps he should get credit for popularizing them on the tube

LMAO! "Canadian Pesos!!!" If I had been drinking milk - it would have definitely shot out my nose from that!
