    Hey man, You combined my three favorite things. Woodturning, Kendama, and skateboarding! nice work and technique on this Kendama. I turned my first Kendama probably something like five years ago and at the time there was nobody showing their process of making them on UA-cam. probably because if everybody turned Kendamas the market value for hand turned ones would go way down and I doubt anybody that was making them lol! Personally I think the hardest part is turning the Tama to the proper specs. Then again I’ve never used carbide tools so maybe it’s a bit easier that way? Anyways, once again great job dude. I just felt like making some again for the first time in a long time so I thought I’d check the old UA-cam out to see who’s doing this nowadays and I found you. Subscribed for sure.
