Kuakui Japan selalu menemani masa kecilku hingga dewasa dengan indah lewat karya karya mereka, mainan, kartun dll.❤ Dan tiada hari dihidupku tanpa mempergunakan produk japan❤
Agree or not, this is why Japan has been so successful in so many things. Such a dedication for something so small and not expensive. They make me reflect whether I do what I do with such a dedication and care. Thank you for the clip.
He sido parte de conocer y recibir una clase magistral del proceso de manufacturados y de producción de figuras de magia. Impresionante TODO lo que está detrás de estas verdades obras de arte. Agradezco la oportunidad de permitir conocer este proceso y crecer en conocimiento día a día. Felicidades y gracias por compartir, saludos cordiales 🖐️ desde Chile 🇨🇱
Господа, советую изучить русский язык и скачать книгу, автор Попилов, называется Советы заводскому технологу. В Советском Союзе из простых технологий не делали секретов, все рецептуры для гальванопластики есть в этой книге. Книга в свободном доступе, ее даже покупать не надо.
@@TheGreatProcess Feel free to ask me any questions. I am at your service. 👍⚒️⚔️ (Subscribed to your channel. REALLY interesting seeing other mad-scientists at work).
@@nigelcarren Thank you for subscribing to our channel! I am currently working in Japan, but I would like to eventually visit France to cover your activities!
@@TheGreatProcess I recreate and restore medieval armour in the remains of a medieval house in a French forest using medieval methods. I have worked for many museums, and made armour for many films, but miniature armour is now my specialty. You would be most welcome to come and see my friend. 👍🌞
I worked at an electroforming shop once, and I was curious to see what they were spraying on the wax to make it conductive. But they blurred it out. We used plain old Krylon metallic spray paint. It worked great.
The copper layers they put down appear several millimeters thick. I didn't think it was possible to lay down that much material with electroforming without internal stresses breaking the part. Was I incorrect? Is there a limit?
Japan is perfection without productivity which explains why they are the world's leaders in quality and national debt even after 40 years of zero interest rate.
What an extraordinary amount of care and skill goes into making these, involving so many people, and what fine details can be preserved! Thanks for showing us this! I’m going to be visiting Japan in a couple of weeks, where are these sold? (In what kind of store?) Are there specific toy stores, or would I find them in big department stores at the ekis? Thank you for the video, it was really fascinating!
Thank you for watching! This soft vinyl is not for sale, but if you are visiting Japan and have time in your schedule, why don't you come visit this company? I am sure you will be welcomed by the president and all the employees. Please check the company's location on the website listed in the overview section of the video. We hope you enjoy your sightseeing trip to Japan!
Ah, that’s too bad 😕 So soft vinyl figures aren’t sold in stores, are perhaps only for collectors? Do you know who buys them and where? I was thinking that they might be a slightly rare but not uncommon toy in Japan. I understand that the company doesn’t make the toys themselves, only the molds for them, but thought that maybe such figures could be found in specialty shops in Tokyo. It would be very interesting to visit the factory (I am an engineer, so I always love talking to people about how they make things), but I speak only a few words of Japanese, and wouldn’t want to bother them during their busy work day, when I wouldn’t be making a video about them that would bring publicity. The business is only about an hour from Ikebukuro though, where I’ll be staying for most of my time there, it would be fun to visit. It was a fascinating video though, I’m going to watch many more of yours now! (I don’t have the time, but I’d love to make very detailed videos about how things are made, especially in Japan because I love visiting there so much. As an engineer and also with a background in science, I tend to ask very deep questions as part of understanding the manufacturing process. Most people would not be interested in such detail, but I think other engineers would be. I know that whenever I get to ask production line people and manufacturing engineers about just how they do things, they are often _so_ happy to have someone so interested in the details of what they do, and how they overcame various obstacles. This video reminded me of how much I love having those conversations 😁) Thank you for replying to my comment!
Hi I really enjoyed your video. I was a mould maker , and then a tool maker at Border Fine Arts, a rural figurine maker in Scotland. Similar in some ways. Kindest regards, Ian.
At least they still value and respect craftsmanship. IMHO the US has been economically ruined by decades of people actively looking down on the trades, even though we claim to value “craftsmanship” in the products we choose to buy. For decades, it’s been “everyone should go to university”, which is bad for everyone: we need skilled tradespeople, and having people at university who aren’t academically-focused is a disservice to them and their classmates. I am American but live in Switzerland, which is a place where the trades (and other vocational training) aren’t looked down on, with the result that the vast majority of people here do not go to university, but do apprenticeships instead (including in banking and chocolate making). It’s why Switzerland manufactures all sorts of things, but its centuries of focusing on quality is why Switzerland still has a robust industry manufacturing the precision tools that the whole world uses to make the nice products we consumers buy.
Это называется гальванопластика. В России 90х годах на заводе Санкт-Петербург изготавливали украшения из серебра таким методом. Потом Америка все делала чтобы заводы в России закрывались.
How do you harden the liquid vinyl? thats the only thing i can never seem to find an answer for. What chemical do they use that they heat up to cure the outside of it.
@@FunStuffGeek Yes they use an oil I think. Someone said it was toluene, but that stuff is carcinogenic and flammable! I've had success using an ordinary oven, but oil kept at a consistent heat would be more reliable. Will you be making hollow or solid figures?
I would do Hollow that's more fun. I spoke to a factory in China that sells the equipment and they said that the curing chemicals were potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate that is heated and kept as a liquid to achieve around 200-360 C @@2degucitas
То, что вы скрыли в видео, наши Машинаторы давно показали на своем канале со всеми подробностями! И даже с составом всех жидкостей и последовательностью обработки. Тоже мне, ноу-хау... P.S. Когда я увидел, что пайка меди к стали серебром - это высокие технологии и изобретательность, я чуть не упал со стула...
Do a google search and you'll find that these hand crafted figures can cost upwards of $300 US, although I can't determine which are real or knock offs.
That is only one of the first steps in this process (and many sofubi makers still hand sculpt the original figures instead of using a 3D printer). Apples and oranges here, and the skill of these craftsmen is amazing.
That was a really detailed step by step look at the process. The part I was not sure about was how the product was going to get removed from the mould, simple in the end. It is lovely to see that many artisan workshops have survived in Japan. In the west there is a great drive to always modernise things and the capitalist system forces businesses to continuously increase profit or loose to others who are able to work cheaper or faster. I love to see manual processes but somehow the old Japanese craftsmen are amongst the most authentic because they are part of an unbroken tradition instead of new generation that has studied and automated a old process to make maximum profit.
Ой блин, тайну сделали, 2х компонентное хромирование, есть видео как в фарах отражатели реставрируют и там рассказали состав и производителя, не помню сейчас но найти легко на ютюбе...
Soviel potenzial und Können. Und dann machen sie so einen modernen Kinderkram.. Ich verstehe das manchmal nicht. Dieser ganze Manga Blödsinn und die Besessenheit mit dieser Scheinwelt und dem bunten Plastik und Gadgets für alles und Jedes..
