When that kid grows up, he is going to realize he has the coolest grandpa ever.
Sure, but I loved my grandpa he was amazing and I think he was the coolest person ever...
He passed away while I was 8
I'm 10 btw
Yes
When that kid grows up, he'll be put to work in a factory or a labour camp, like most of the Chinese adult men.
Everyone who has a grandpa who loved them and supported them thinks the same of their own
@@YourPalHDee exactly, like his dad that's working as an animator, those "camps" mannn... getting harder to get in these days with all the westerners moving in for them camp jobs... meanwhile seeing 4 out of 23 neighbors and their family are out on the street now (temporarily) because dems and gop can't get a stimulus bill and 60% of all business has closed down permanently, wouldn't my ex-neighbors would give to have one of those "camp" jobs as front end engineer, train conductor, fast casual restaurant manager, product manager respectively
At this stage of creation, he is not just a carpenter, he is an artist.
agreed
Aren't carpenters wood artist's?
@@gmrn3014s those are wood sculptures not carpenters
True
@@pineapplelord2422 you can still call someone a artist even though they never made a sculpture right?
I hope his grandson grows up to realize that his grandpa's toys are much cooler than a phone. And he has a magician as his grandfather.
Of coz
Dude can make a working smartphone out of wood.. The 'iWooD

Master carpenter? More like a creative genius.
He is still carpenter, it's his job since 9 as you can read.. but he is one of the few of it's kind.. that's why he's called Master Carpenter..
He's a carpenter wizard
This man is not a toymaker, he's a freakin WIZARD!
Yea your right 😱😱
True
But isn't he a she?
Your a wizard gramps nee nee ne nee neee neee nee neee neeeeeee
He fits all the qualifications for a wizard.
I’m not questioning it.
This guy’s an engineer and probably doesn’t even know it.
@Quazmodic well said!
He knows more than you can think
Please don't look down on him by calling him an engineer... He is a genius artist
"... and probably doesn't even know it" ... I assume you meant well and "probably do not know" how unintelligent that comment is in the face of what you just watched.
Asian
“Carpenter”
Sorry, no mortal word can describe his passion.
Ultra carpenter
Thousands of talented Chinese craftsmen like him built the Forbidden City, Temple of the Heaven, the Great Wall of China.
Sadly it's pretty well know than emperor qin shi huang was pretty "evil" and forced a few million people to work and build it, people died of exhaustion, starvation, etc. But it's still an amazing build with a lot of hard work put into it

@@AlzheimersIamWhat about most CEO's are of Indian origin but not east asians
@@vighneshnayak8933 nope! 76% of Fortune 500 companies CEOS are Caucasian, while only 35 Indians are Fortune 500 CEOs
I studied civil engineering but I'm pretty sure he could finish that bridge way faster than the time needed for me to design it 😭
Not mentioning the paperwork, planning permissions etc.
His carpentry skills have nothing to do with decades of experience. He has a Da Vinci level brain.
Decades of experience have given him the skills and precision to make his Da Vincian visions come to life.
That's trueeee 😳
If you have a big brain but dogshit skills, you still won't make anything yourself, you just have ideas. It's skill that transforms these things from ideas to objects
Google Lu Ban 鲁班, he was the inventor of this type of carpentry. Engineer and carpenter; he can make moving robots out of woods and is Almost 2 thousand years older than Da Vinci. Da Vinci is no match for him.
@@icie1500 Da Vinci was a master artist and a highly skilled biologist and engineer. As a result of his studies of human remains, he he was able to create the most accurate illustration of human anatomy and musculature prior to the 19th century. He was the first to scientifically illustrate and describe the human fetus intra-utero, renal system, respiratory system, and reproductive organs; he is the first to discover how the heart functions and what role its valves and four chambers play in blood circulation; and he apparently understood how bacterial diseases are transmitted.
Da Vinci was the first to describe the classic law of sliding friction and concentrated solar power; he created the rolling mill that is still used in modern metallurgy, a machine to grind convex mirrors and lenses, a device to test and quantify the tensile strength of wires, a spring-powered self-propelled cart with a differential gear for pre-programmed acceleration and turning, and a robotic knight with an anatomically correct human jaw that is externally controllable; and he designed a primitive armored fighting vehicle, a wax and pigskin diving suit with air supply piping, a glider and an accompanying parachute, and a man-powered helicopter, all of which-except the helicopter-have been proven to be workable.
He also independently designed the miter lock and the self-supporting bridge that is identical to the ones Grandpa Amu made in the video and, presumably, also identical to the ones Lu Ban invented.
Engineering was the only field the two men had in common. They are both geniuses and a product of their time; saying that da Vinci-who was a literal Renaissance man highly skilled in numerous wildly differing fields-was no match for Lu Ban is ignorant and blatantly Chinese-supremacist.
When his grandfather is gone the grandson has a whole legacy of his woodworks and toys to remember him with
Wdym? He's going to build himself a wooden body and become immortal
Bruh, Sasori that you?
Deidara got to be somewhere around here
He could become like he’s granpa
That's probably why he already made so many things even though the kid is only 2 and doesn't understand much
His pieces should be in a museum. I'm stunned, his grandson is so blessed.
Live long Master
1:11 The smile on his face was priceless
This man's a engineering genius, he's the Ikea store itself.
😁😁😁👍👍💕💕✌️✌️🍻🍻
He would laugh at IKEA as it's not up to his standard it's not hand made
IKEA is probably made down the road from his house next to the Allen key factory.
@Kasia Nazis have entered the chat
IKEA should hire Grandfather AMU.
He is the kind of Grandpa every kid wants.

I once gave a friend's 6 yr old son a simple, small wooden truck, moving wheels, a back part to put things in. Made in China. He loved and played with it above all battery-operated toys and remembered it years later. Best kind of toy.
My father was a carpenter. He would have hugly admired this grandpa. First class craftsman, more than that: a genius. Hope the two can enjoy eachother for many, many years. Thank you son of Amu for letting the world see the magic skills of your father.
Americans: see toy *Made In China*
Grandson: sees toy *Made by grandpa*
YasUwU
I see a toy made in grandpa
Is grandpa a country i never heard of that
FAX
Only morons who buy the products made in Chyna. #PoorQuality👎🏻👎🏽😁😂🤣👎
The best thing about this is that it seems like he’s having more fun than his grandson
He did the work, so he gets the extra satisfaction because he knows that it's going to put a smile of his grandson face.
Hardwork paid off
The fact that it is but pure labor of love makes everything worth a million and the memories the little boy will have for life priceless.
Im cry 😭
He is not making toys but a proud and happy grandson for life. What a gift this grandfather is !
This grandpa is better than all carpenters.
True enough he is called MASTER Carpenter
He literally has 50 years of experience, and still uses ancient techniques.
his youtube channel: ua-cam.com/channels/laEdLrmti779-tyovta8zw.html
If the kid starts going to school and brings these toys he’s going to be the popular kid
Not if there's a rich kid in class who looks down on wooden toys...
Zellrang aka Shinrei (ZaS) he can maybe spray paint it gold???
@@zellrang rich kid doesnt have an awesome grandfather who can create just about anything with just his wits
Personality over money
But then the kid will make his grandpa over work for more and more toys, some “friends” would be using him and not acknowledge the hardwork :(
Amazing. He shud run a class to pass his expertise to who wud like to learn. Grandpa is a genuis
This Child's gonna grow up and realize he's the luckiest human on earth.
To be honest, most of the toys Grandpa Amu builds is better than the toys we have.
So true
Absolutely true
Fr fr
last longer too
Because everything is made in Chin-... oh wait
Someone needs to be this man's apprentice to keep this tradition alive 😭
For sure.
His grandson is soaking up everything...
@@TerriblePerfection yep and he could teach more children
Now that’s a job for his grandson
It was said in the video that it's not a technique unique to him. It's also not only used in China, Japan also uses it. There's even a company that sells furniture on amazon using this no glue no nails tech.
He's not a carpenter, he's a 9th level MASTER carpenter!
The bond between grandpa and his grandson is heartwarming. The time the two spend together is priceless. Time spent outdoors is so important to a growing child. May this adorable have many more years together. 💕
So talented.... It is quite difficult for me to even cut a single straight line
Lol I was thinking the same thing 😁
Yeah especially interlocking style. And he doesnt need any of those machine to ensure each part is perfectly fit. I mean, now thats what we call ‘truly talented’!
Believe me I cannot draw straight lines on a paper even using measuring instruments. My architecture lecturer always complains

Must video
No no aliens they don't believe in church he loves his son
He is a granpa
Those that can, should pass on these ancient beautiful crafts. Much love and respect to this gentleman. It appears more prevalent in the eastern cultures, than in the western cultures.
Wow, a true engineer through & through. Amazing he acquired it all through knowledge passed down b/c some of this stuff is on another level. He is a genius.
Actively defying what we all think “made in China” stands for
Yep. Everyone just loves to hate and make fun of China cause it's easy and funny to do 🤦🏻♂️

@@lulu-gt6kl only high prices!!!!
