@@Ian-bf4ykThankfully, said long lasting objects will outlive a fair few of the mass produced stuff, guaranteeing a long lasting appreciation for them.
Better way of saying it is like O as in the capital letter in the alphabet, transitioning it to a OO sound, like in room, then following that with GA, from gawk.
@@brenorocha6687 nothing I can prove but it's a minimal pair within the language also I have a degree in Japanese and Linguistics if you want to listen to recordings look for anything with 大（おお) and you'll see what I'm talking about also the honorific お can occur before another お to produce a similar effect and compare that to the final sound in おはよう こうこう etc. This is how my Japanese professors taught me at least and they were all native speakers. This distinction isn't in all dialects though so I'd recommend looking into either Tokyo dialect or Hokaido dialect
Hi! I'm from Florida!! I very much appreciate the whole vid!! Got to use one of those Beast saws while in the service...I have much respect for the carpenters/ Sawyers, That use n maintain them!! Awesome job on this vid!! Thanks for sharing!! 🦊🧙♂️🐺
ive seen someone else restore this same type of saw. they found out that if you offset every other tooth just a bit it stops the saw from catching kn the wood
That's known as saw blade "set'. Yeah...yet another definition to the word "set". There are tools built specifically to set the teeth. my concerns with this type of saw is the proportion of saw body to tooth profile. Also, the rake angle and chisel angle leave much to be desired. The Japanese do, however, make excellent modern- day hand saws.
Because Japan used to be a feudal society in which most people weren't allowed, or could even afford, to own an actual weapon. Only samurai carried blades. So a lot of people had to improvise with what they had, farming and woodworking tools. That's why many martial arts weapons are based on common tools, and why they look so similar. Staves, sai, kama, nunchaku, tonfa.
@Cameron F That's absolute BS, if you're going to legally allow things because "people will do it/find a way anyway" then you have no laws left and might as well just abolish the justice system. The 2A causes massive amounts of innocent deaths each year. Get lost.
@@KethenGoesHam . I think where the teeth are bent to the left and right alternativly. Keeps the blade from binding. Most blades are, just look along the teeth of any toothed blade and you'll see it. 👍🙂
Yes ur spot on. My late Dad was a joiner and taught me over the years how to work with wood. I was left with all his tool and have the tool for setting the teeth...
@@Thekarateadult well blacksmiths would know the correct way to put an edge on the saw, which is then used for lumberjack work…. Incase you didn’t realize this video was about sharpening a saw blade, not felling trees… 😉
@@theshadowbehindyou9631 I'm a member of the international brotherhood of boilermakers, blacksmiths, forgers, and helpers and I'll own you're correct. I'm wrong.
I was following your channel and Google or RU-vid kick me off. So glad you posted this so I could remember I once followed you. That saw is very interesting to me. I love how it looks like a whale just like the name of it. So happy to be able to watch your videos again. Thank you so much for posting this video brother. I'm so happy. Thank you.
I really admire that you're not afraid to share content that you may expect to get pushback for. Seems it's impossible to do anything online without getting loads of critics, but you still share because you're doing what you love. Good on you, man.
A double vowel in Japanese is just an extended vowel, Japanese is phonetic so vowels only have one pronunciation. O is like the O in Open, and OO would just extend the time you say the O, so it'd be like saying OOOOpen.
Dude, you’re obviously super talented. So, why do you let the idiots who criticize your work get to you? Screw them! Just keep creating amazing art. (I consider your work as art because… damnnnn)
Hey man, you should consider putting a sweet Japanese dragon on that bad boy 🤣 Lmfao bet you got way more heat for that then any of us could ever imagine.
My guess is the original owners of these saws had large triangular saw files, not flat files, to do this job. You probably should set the teeth a little as well. Will help the saw plate from getting jammed.
If you see two vowels in Japanese, it just means you say the vowel twice without pause. It's really fast. As fast as you can think o-oga you say it with one o.
They really need to create a cnc robotic arm device that is designed to sharped anything and everything. Just scans, chooses the tools and bits to use, and goes to town. Only financially feasible for giant shops, but so cool.
Me a Swede who also speaks English and German: "Is pronouncing a Japanese double O hard?" (looks up Japanese pronunciation) ".... I-It's the same as the Swedish Å..."
Almost the same, dependent on dialect. But yes, it's extremely easy. My dialect doesn't have Å at all, so had I not spoken Rikssvenska, I wouldn't be able to pronounce it. Au/Aau isn't the same as Å after all.
yes… but not in this word. 大鋸 is pronounced “oga”. americans usually take the literal transcriptions of each word instead of their actual relevant form so 大 would be o but in this case they made it “oo”
@@sw1nkz50 another example is japanese wood charring called 焼杉 yakisugi in japanese. americans call it “shou sugi ban” (using the onyomi for 焼 and adding the word 板 “plank”)
Good job sharpened is another skill set to learn so keep practicing. I enjoy restoring old hand tools and find sharpening to be a relaxing way to pass time
Love how many folks try to diss you but you've got a flourishing channel and you're actually producing beautiful pieces that sell for a thousand ++ $$$, while they've got a garage of name brand tools and the biggest project is a chopping board for the wife or repairing a plank on their deck. 😂😂😂😂Keep on keeping on brother!
There is no double O sound in this case. the saw is called 大鋸 in its kanji written form, and おが in hiragana written form. the 大 commonly is pronounced with a "double O" sound, for example, Osaka (the city), which is written 大阪（おおさか）has the double O sound. with the double O sound all you do is elongate the sound, like a tempo to music, each character in the hiragana gets a beat. but this saw name, is just one O. so O>Ga. the "O" as in "Old" and the "Ga" as in "god"
This short pops up every couple months and every single time, im like "whales dont have spines like that" and then i see the whole saw and im like "ooooooooohh, it does look like a whale."
There is a tiny file, in the shop's file drawer. It is my "go to" file. Had no idea what it was. Until Cam showed one. Yep, that little feather shaped file, is just AMAZING! steve
There are no rakers and is designed to cut both way. The back stroke removes the chaff whereas a Europium has rakers that remove the chaff upon the down stroke.
People say sharpening saws is difficult, is only difficult if you cannot access the correct shapes of files. They were made to be readily field serviceable, using hand tools most guys had back in the day.
I think I noticed one thing about what sizes the blades are not evenly down the middle the blades are offset each blade differential left right left right left right to slightly angled with the serpent process they might even be flared out just a slight degree or two.
I still think about the story you told of how you got that saw. I always wondered why the owner didnt want to get rid of it and refused to sell it to you. Then his son i think it was sold it to you because they needed the sale. Idk why but thay story has stuck with me. I think maybe you should take it back and show the man are caring for it and restored it to its formy glory and the saw is in good hands
