Thank you for taking the time to create such beautiful videos showing your amazing skills. I'm thankful people like you are preserving these crafts that create meaningful objects in a world that can be superficial at times.
@@ValentinBarocio you’re welcome!
I enjoy seeing young people getting into the trades and arts. Beautiful work!
Wonderful!
As a fellow wood turner, I enjoyed watching your video. I practiced Bonsai for many years, and I found the Japanese style of tools interesting and easy to work with. The hook tools have a similar function to the carbide tools I use in turning. I like the fact that you get to sit down at the lathe, sometimes I wish I could. 😂
Notice that the tool rest is not attached to the lathe, making the bowl's curvature much smoother.
Beautiful work Rabea. I know of Rabea from the Greenwoodworking circles I'm in. I find watching this and the urushi videos so meditative. Utterly calming and zen, the forms are beautiful with a grace and flow. fantastic, thanks for the upload.
It's not so easy for us westerners to make it as crafts people here, but it is doable and it is always great to see another person putting the effort and skills to the test. She did an amazing job with that dish. Beautiful work.
Beautiful work and a beautiful studio. I loved watching you use the Japanese tools. It looked much gentler and more peaceful. I especially loved the burnishing.
Gorgeous video. The light, the colours... Beautiful bowl. Loved watching the process and end result...
Thank you very much!
Lovely work!
Many thanks!
It must smell beautiful in yr workshop..great work
Great video. Lovely work and place. Good work.
Hook tools are so underrated by the woodturning community. I'm glad to see they're making a comeback.
She is a head turner.
Very nice indeed.
Beautiful work!
Very nice!
Each piece is unique.
But I'm quite concerned to see a young person taking such risks with the safety and health of her eyes and lungs.
I don't mean to criticise, but you really should be wearing whatever form of eye protection you can tolerate.
You also need a dust removal system or a dust mask.
They both may seem like aggravations right now when you're young and healthy. But the aggravation is more than worth it for you to avoid suffering in years to come from injury, exposure, or both.
I know I sound like an old person griping. I am an old person. But I'm not griping.
Don't let your golden years be fraught with unnecessary health problems that can easily be avoided now.
Use P.P.E.
You and your grandchildren will be so glad you did.
And keep up the good work!
Die japanischen Drechseleisen sind echt spannend. Coole Technik.
Western lathes also turn both ways and have fine control via electronic variable speed.
True, but to change the speed, you need to turn a switch, whereas the Japanese lathe can be reduced in speed with foot pedals mid cut to minimise vibrations. Also, most chucks on Western lathes aren't made for turning in both directions, and most people will only ever turn a bowl in one direction instead of constantly switching between them
Never heard of a lathe that turns both ways!
@@shoutatthesky ...but they exist...
Hmm. Palm fiber burnisher. Think I might try again...
The sad thing is that in today's market, society people will not have a good life doing things this way. It takes too much time, is therefore resulting in goods, that are too expensive to sell. The largest majority of people go to IKEA and are happy with the result. :/
The thing is that japanese people really value handmade stuff so if they can pay for it they'll gladly do.
Nice job. Hope to see you wearing breathing protection next time 😊
This video should be two hours long.
PPE my wife and I were wood craft workers 40 years ago, and masks and eye protection were a given.please wear yours.great skills.
In Michoacán Mexico there are a lot of people able to do that, if you want especial request or wood they can do anything, even signed as a Japanese master-crafter if you want for just 20 dlls, and in USA know it as is the first market.
Was there any typo, because ¥2000/mo is way too cheap, it’s supposed to be at least ¥20000
No typo, it’s very much out in the countryside and the building was old and not very secure against the elements! To hear rabea tell it, in summer it would be swarmed by bugs
As a wood turner I found this very interesting, the hook tools appear to be scrapers rather than a gouge
@@ianbedwell4871 yes, they function in flexible ways and are shaped based on the turner’s preference
Hola soy argentino, ¿ como llegaste a convencerta de que ese seria tu oficio?
That’s $12.75 in dollars. Is that per day?
Добро 🐻
Please wear a dust mask. I know it doesn't look as athletic but your lungs will thank you for it.
Unless someone asks for your opinion just stfu
She isn’t sanding. Bladed tools don’t make the same type of dust. I do both kinds of work and use heavy dust collection when needed.
Scraping generates a lot of dust, too.
@@brianlam8 she is sanding at the 2:30 mark
@bernhardhofman as a grown woman she's more than capable of making her own decisions
Gorgeous video.
Wow, very impressive,
