Come see how the Samurai Carpenter carves a stone bathroom sink in 4 hours! Don't forget to watch the installation video! • How To Carve a Stone S... samuraicarpenter.com Tool Store samuraicarpenter.com/samurai-c...
Take it from a geology student: that fine stone dust, depending on what type of rock it is, can get in your lungs and really do some damage. Especially granite. NEVER breathe granite dust. I'd say since most people probably wouldn't know what kind it is, you should go ahead and wear one anyway to be safe.
In 4000 years archaeologists will find that bowl and debate for years how it would have been possible to make such an item with the primitive tools available at the time. "Without proton disruptor beams or psychokinetic enhancers, it would have been impossible to achieve such smoothness." One archaeologist will theorise that it could have been done with simple steel chisels and cutting tools, but he'll be laughed out of town; "With steel tools it would have taken at least *4 hours* to create such a bowl; Nobody works for 4 hours a day! Preposterous!" So future theorists will come to the only sensible conclusion available, other than just a bit of time and effort: "BECAUSE ALIENS!"
I love your passion and creativity! It's so inspirational! To make something with your hands is an amazing bit of magic. To take something that looks like barely nothing and make it into something that pleases the eye and/or fulfills a need is just the most amazing thing. Too many people have forgotten that we as humans are capable of this...that we are meant to make things. All it takes is a curious mind, a creative spirit, and the sure knowledge that nothing is impossible! Gonna go watch the second part of this now. Exceptionally good work!
This was my first samurai carpenter video I ever saw and it made me fall in love with making awesome stuff. Thank you brother for inspiring me to take on big challenges.
While this video played, I ordered a stylish stone themed sink online and it's ready for pickup and my local hardware store. Saved 4 hours of labor at a cost, but now I can be more productive by wasting those 4 hours on RU-vid.
t raven Machines can't do good work...? You're joking, right? Yea, a machine can't poor in all that love crap that a human can, however, a machine can and will do better work than a human ever can. The precision machines can do in even sculpting far surpasses that of a human.
2k in dislikes????? HATERS. I had never saw one the videos by The Samurai Carpenter. Super cool man. I would have spent another 4 or so hours to make it deeper but I am know for taking projects to far. Keep up the great work!
Amazing. Love your passion and integrity. Keep up the good fight bother! No mediocre builds and sub par work. Thanks for sharing your boundless knowledge.
Sick vid, love the shirt. Glad to see a craftsman who isn't a baby about the work. Its artistic and one of a kind. Maybe not the cookie cutter crap a lot of people are used to. Some of us can build things and others need need that retired hairdresser who now works at home depot to help them with bathroom interior ideas. LOL. Gonna watch more.
I've watched many of these types of videos - mainly car repairs, plus how-to's, home renovations, etc with power tools, grinders, cutters, saws, blades, lump hammers and I'm amazed how many people do this kind of thing wearing crocs, sandals and flips-flops. Even bare feet.
Great video. Southeastern Salvage sells these stone sinks for about $90. By the time I rented/bought new tools, I'd probably be coming close to that price point, and that's before I spent hours using them. For me, I couldn't justify the time and money, unless I was doing multiple sinks. I just wanted to learn how these sinks were made and you did an excellent job of showing me that. Thanks!
I went to home depot and told them to suck it and they said that I couldn't go back there anymore. Now I can't buy building materials from them. Thanks a lot.
Smooth Triston, same thing happened to me. The worst part is I was already banned from Menards and Lowes. Now I can't get materials anywhere. Thanks a lot.
To level the bottom you could just put some food color on a tub of water and sit the stone in it. The dye left by the water would create a stain all along the base that could then be removed creating a flat level plane.
Why are people being so critical? It's a beautiful sink that's perfect for his small beach house. It would be worth a few hundred dollars to a lot of people. It's a one of a kind custom sink. Great job!
These would be cool as a Fountains, Bird Bath, Fire Pit/Hibachi, oil Lamp, etc....used outside you could put them on a tripod of rocks and skip flattening the base....
Beautiful job for someone that's never carved stone before. Congrats! Oh yeah gorgeous views where you live, remember not to take it for granted? Cheers Sean
Great project, but you NEED a respirator!!! Silicosis is nothing to scoff at. Anyone who has ever met an old miner knows that that is not the way they want to go out. Silicosis is fibrous png scarring from air born silica in the air from cutting stone. Your body can not break down this dust over time or get rid of it. Even though you are out doors that is not sufficient to protect you. If you can smell that you are cutting stone, you are at risk :( Any how just a friendly heads up and again, great vid dude.
***** Yes, but the rest of the time, he was not. The wet saw isn't to bad, but grinding is serious as well as wet stone dust/power that has dried and then become air born again within your work area. The rule is, if you can smell you are cutting or breaking stone, you need to be wearing a respirator.
Chris Murphy, that is a bit of an exaggeration in your "stats", but also, why do for feel the need to critique someones comment who likes the video and its creator and is only trying to look out for their best interest?
thismaineliving You would think you would be commenting about him wearing shorts and crocs while using a demo saw before you complain that he isn't wearing a respirator for 5 minutes.....
Hey Samurai that was awesome, I have never worked with stone, I'm wondering where and how you are putting in a drain? Are you drilling through with something? If so what please. Thanks!
Bird bath $600. I have been looking for a way to make just this as a birdbath. Being both lazy and cheap i was looking for a way to make the $600 bird bath my wife wanted from the landscape store. You nailed it man. Thanks.
I'd be more worried about them fancy Crocs you have on than safety glasses , you're man card is suspended until mankind is restored and Crocs are destroyed , but cool sink !
Chris Smith Those crocs are an integral part of my manhood and I will never part from them! If that is too much for you to handle, I understand but you should never judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes ;)
wrong sir, i do not take part in political garbage , i'm a free thinking human that says and does what he feels , not defined by a shitty term.you don't like it go piss in the wind bro!
He didn't explain any of the reasoning behind anything he did, though. It would be like asking someone how to paint so they sat down in front of you and painted a picture without saying anything.
Well for me he covered everything essential. Very cool idea! When I'll built my house I'll make one or some... Well for the drain I would have used a bigger drill first before drilling the smaller hole through... Saves time but well ist also means you have to buy one more expensive drill...
Most excellent video, those types of sinks are very expensive and no gratification from creating this work of art yourself. Very nicely done, thank you.
Hi, I'm from the future. I would like you to know that many a work man have developed lung problems from cutting, grinding and polishing stone. Please check with your local building supply shop for the appropriate breathing mask. The silica in the dust is what gets you. Saftey first : )
The electric quick cut saw must be a dream...I've used a gas one countless times and they are backbreaking.... I'm not a stone mason but after doing all sorts of things like this, put it up on a bench, your back will thank you!
This was a great walk through. In regards to your remark about safety glasses and laziness I wanted to say, Its good practice to blink your eyes on impact. :)
