まあ正確な機械導入したら職なくなるからね

でも実際その通りじゃね プログラムされたものより人の手が精巧なんてありえん 日本人の職人最強論頭悪すぎる

@@noname-gc3yw 今のところ研磨は人の方が上やからありえんこともない。 機械が得意なとこ、人間が得意なことをコストや技術的に見てバランス取ればええだけ。

and he has a bandage on his fingers lmao. not long before he's gonna lose fingers or a hand.

yeah honestly I think it was the first time watching these videos that I actually thought "damn they should get some machines to do that part of the job instead"

Yeah me too. It's painful to watch people with zero regard for safety.

I still remember shop class in high school, and one thing that was impressed upon us was the more exposed the blade is in operation, the bigger the 'hands free' zone needs to be. The guy would be MUCH better off using a bandsaw or scroll saw for the closer cutting work.

not sure why you guys so pussy about his fingers. do you also painfully watch a chef cutting his vegetable´s? its their profession... you can tell all employee´s in the video are part of this process for many years. so is the man with the saw i assume. no finger missing, no obvious scars on his hands. he is quite careful in my opinion and is very far away from losing fingers.

also using calipers like that is inaccurate and slow. to setup a cut like that you should have gauge blocks ahead of time, especially if you're mass producing them as here. i see a lot of manual work being done here but the saw work is not impressive, it's dangerous.

not only that he's doing things slow and inaccurate with those calipers. if they really are doing mass production they should be using gauge blocks.

none. looking at how carefully he is putting pressure on the piece of wood i believe that even an earthquake wouldnt make him slip his fingers into the blade.

He has been careful, and lucky...so far.

he hasn't been running it for very long. watching this video reminds me of the videos of people in 3rd world countries arc welding with no protection, staring directly at the welding.

😬👍

Удивительно, как у него еще все пальцы на руках, техника безопасности зашкаливает

Yup it's from the direction the pieces face. What makes shogi unique is that captured pieces change sides, so all the pieces from both players must be identical. It's pretty easy to get used to when you learn the game, I think.

確かに。計測する器具を作るって精度がとんでもなく求められそうですものね。

コメントありがとうございます☺️ 頑張って探します

竜馬さん？？

酒田でそんな名前の人に会った事あるな

Воистину так! У меня аж сердце в пятки уходило, пока смотрел на процесс этой "нежной" распилки. :)

these arent craftsmen, what we see in this video are random people being assigned a task who don't know any better. not only what they are doing incredibly dangerous, but also very inconsistent. they are often freehanding where a proper jig would be far faster and far more accurate. also note lack of ear protection.

My guess is Japanese birch from looking at the wood yard.

Lower grade pieces are often made with Japanese maple, since that's a lot cheaper and more plentiful, but the fanciest pieces will be boxwood, with the top tier being boxwood from Mikurajima. Of course, a buyer can request any wood at all to be used, since it's all done by hand, but this video seems to be about boxwood pieces.

💁‍♂️つげ、ツゲ ＝ In Japanese it is called tsuge. High quality piece material genuine boxwood. very hard tough close-grained light yellow wood.

天童の街は何回か行ったし、このお店で御蔵島の柘植の木で作った駒も入手したよ。温泉も人間将棋も懐かしい街だな。
