Fascinating, precise, illuminating instructions and the with added quips, this Zen Jedi Master (in between the heartbeats) shows us a thing or two. I'm glad I had a nice glass of white wine while I watched. Thanks!
A very interesting technique and I got a real pleasure from watching the video. I made inlays of silver in bronze using a drill with a reverse cone cutter. It turns out that it was possible to make it easier and more correct. Thanks you!
I discovered this channel from Reddit on a Artisans page. I just cannot comprehend how much patience is needed to do this sort of work. Part of me is astounded as to what people are able to do and another (larger) part of me is disapointed because I know I will never be able to do anything like this. Inspiring and intimidating at the same time.
You would be able to do it.... it doesn’t matter what it is but the key is passion for what you do!! Ford is a master so makes it look easy but as with anything. Practice makes perfect.. watch this will always seem intimidating... grab a little chisel and give it a go on a coin.... it’s addictive!!
Scotch stone wasn't used in Japan, I actually introduced my own teacher to it. It cuts more efficiently than nagura so is quicker but the Nagura leaves a finer finish. I do actually use both, it depends on the metal and the particular job in hand.
How much is the thickness of copper seat? I think you have a poor skill about Ten Zogan yet. copper and silver,It's totally so easy to inlay it. But,you are amazing!
Dear Ford Not sure if you see this comment, however I will take my chances. I have tried to contact you via your website without any luck. I have been interested in the contacts for acquiring the “scotch stone” you mention in this video.
Lucky you don’t have to make a living doing this! Only joking. What about a plate about 1mm thick with matching holes to the size of the wire with a small reverse chamfer to line up the insert with the hole. Then it should be easy to put the inserts in square. It might also sort any burr problem as well. Not dissimilar to the plates on your wall. Ageing eyes are not so good these days.
Watching you make paint dry is just fine. I love to absorb all the knowledge you are sharing so beautifully.
Thank you, it's really good to know what we're trying to share is appreciated.
'flattens out of misery'...what an excellent phrase.
I found much needed peace in your voice this morning.
Thank you.
It's good to know it helped, I hope things get easier for you sometime soon.
Beautiful. It warms my heart that you are preserving and teaching a skill that might otherwise be lost.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I would love to add that skills and knowledge are not ours to keep but to share with those who will listen.

Fascinating! Thank you so much for making this.

Oh, very nice! I can see this having quite a few applications! So I shall endeavor to give it a go, as they say!
Very helpful thank you so much!
Really great detail.Would be perfect for a sliver eye highlight.Thanks
great video :) did you put up a video regarding the tool making? I can't find it on your channel
Desculpe Ford, mas não consegui descobrir qual é a pedra que você usa é uma Nagura, certo? ou você usa outro? Um grande abraço daqui em Portugal.
That was very clear Jedi Ford ... 😂🤣😂🤣 Great video ....
Hi Ford, Lovely technique! I was wondering where i could find these king of dooming tools that you use at the end of the process? Thanks.
What size hammer on the doming please.
Is that "pitch bowl" just a steel "pipe cap" (industrial supply item)?...
Nice. Have you ever done a video on making the doming punch?
cheers, not done a doming punch but I will do something like that soon.
Hi Ford, Do you prefer scotch stone over Nugara stone for a workable finish or is this the usual approach of using scotch Nugara and charcoal ?.
Scotch stone wasn't used in Japan, I actually introduced my own teacher to it. It cuts more efficiently than nagura so is quicker but the Nagura leaves a finer finish. I do actually use both, it depends on the metal and the particular job in hand.
Hi Ford You have a very tidy work bench. Something I fail at.
What is a common use of this inlay?
Tsuba... ford generally works on sword mountings
Hello! And what is the name of this black plasticine?!
Very late but it’s called pitch
How much is the thickness of copper seat? I think you have a poor skill about Ten Zogan yet. copper and silver,It's totally so easy to inlay it. But,you are amazing!
Ever thought about trying a Twitch stream?
Sounds painful...
@@FordHallam Hah, I guess I could see why it might not be ideal.
Just oau!
