Half of the video was him making a box to mail the kettle back in. That's the definition of caring for your customer. I have an immense amount of respect for what you do; what a beautiful work of art.
Having worked with oak galls specifically, I don’t think these were galls per se? Unless Japan has differently formed ones than the US! But the gist is the same: Iron Oxide/rust + Gall/tannin + Vinegar = a strong mordant. It is most likely being used to set whatever paste he used prior in place, as well as adding color.
In japanese culture, the cast iron teapot is beautiful in its rustic aspect and not for its luster. I believe the request was to take down the apparent rust and seasoning to prevent future rusting.
I am baffled by how talented this person is. I have no idea what's going on most of the time but I find this content so relaxing and I love it so much.
I would love to see the look on the family's faces when they open the box to find a family hairlom restored back to its Beauty and knowing it will be there to pass on to the next generation and the knowledge that its beautifully glorious traditions won't be lost to time. You did a great job on this and the japaning was done very well keep up the awesome work. I never miss a video.
☺️☺️☺️It is because it needs loooooooooooooooot of time and effort to convert damage products into finished final gud looking one so even a small scratch caused will hert the him that's y he takes that much effort cos the customer satisfaction and their compliments will mean a lot and he deserves too☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️being a toolmaker i know how much efforts it take to do this in spite this whole video gets over in 25:16but real effort takes moreeeeee than thatttt🙂🙂☺️☺️
Honor, craftsmanship, dedication for sure. That said, all that plastic and spray foam goes right to the ocean. At least the cardboard box and paper can be recycled. It's beautiful really. I would have dispensed with all the fluff.
