Very impressive silver smithing work! I've done silversmithing once before, but never at this level. You're truly going all out with this project, and that deserves a lot of respect! Very well done, sir!
Rivedere il bulino e la cera lacca mi ha fatto tornare in mente il corso di orafo che feci tanti anni fa, un bel mestiere ed ero anche discretamente bravo, peccato che non trovai lavoro in quel settore e mi dedicai ad altro. Tornassi indietro avrei insistito nel cercare un impiego in un laboratorio. Complimenti Gader, è sempre un piacere ammirare il tuo lavoro.
If I ever get a time machine, I’d love to have a beer with whoever came up with the idea of calling these things 目抜き; “Eye Catchers” rather than something shall we say more conventional like 飾り; “decorations”. Imagine the wit; also, it would be a fine opportunity to learn some 古語 directly from the folks who used it in their daily lives. Edit: actually, the translation is more akin to “Eye snatcher”. That just makes them even more amusing because there are customarily two of them on these weapons. One for each of the enemy’s eyes, I guess.
No meaning to me, I chose this shape primarily because I thought it would be an achievable first attempt! Mentioned in the video description :) Thank you for watching!
Right!!! This guy's tools are atrocities that hurt my soul 😂 as soon as a saw the mill my jaw dropped. I'd pop a poopoo valve if I found mine in that bloody state mate.
I know I'm watching this late but you should fill it with something to help it keep its shape and prevent it from being crushed. If not silver, maybe plaster or something
For the pitch bowl, have you considered using a couple wood shims to prevent it from moving around temporarily? That or the anti-skid padding that is sometimes used in kitchen cabinets to prevent dishes from sliding out accidentally.
You know...... when you were making the two piece sand form you could have carved that feather shape into the sand and poured the molten silver into that shape instead of the dominoes shape? Then open the form, shake out the sand and trim the pieces away from the sprue? A little clean up and polish them like you did and they would be done way faster with no tap tap tap a million times with those embossing chisels? Whatever they are called, I've had a long day BB. Just saying, keep up the great contenr.
I wish your videos were longer and not so rushed. The video shorts I find really annoying. We don't get much to look at when comes to the details of construction. Please consider going back to a more instruction approach. Your talents are great to watch!😊
По-моему, автор видео просто показывал своё мастерство и умение достигать цели непростыми способами. Неужели у него в стране не продается нужный металл в качестве заготовок и ему для получения их, приходится переплавлять старинные вещи?
There's a young man in Korea who works with silver and exotic woods I'd like to recommend if I may, youtube.com/@SilverMeister I find watching him work to be very relaxing and I have learned a great deal from him about working with silver. Seeing different techniques from so many talented artist like you is helping me grow my own shop and push my limits.
Awesome video mate. I have to admit though....if you got my rolling mill that rusty you'd be fired and sent a bill for replacement rollers. I've never seen someone let their rolling mill get to that state before. It's absolutely shocking. You're nothing without your tools my man, always clean and oil them at the end of the workday. Especially that rolling mill 😢 (use a green dish scourer and 3-in-1 sewing machine oil. Don't use WD-40 like others suggest for your tools either. It doesn't last as long as the oil because it evaporates, leaving your tools exposed to rusting after a short time period.) You seem to be dedicated enough so spend some time on that mill mate.
Of course! I bought that rolling mill just recently with the intention of restoring it. But I want to finish this wakizashi project first :) Thank you!
@@BlackBeardProjects Oh, my apologies to you then mate. Congratulations on finding a second hand rolling mill. That's an awesome undertaking as well. I hope you do a video on the process you go through to restore the mill. I don't think there would be many videos on restoring a mill on TH-cam. I know I would enjoy watching that.
Mad respect. My shoulders hurt in sympathy for the amount of tiny hammer strokes. I love them both. Well done.
We love watching you at Turkey 👏👏
Brother, that tiny flask you burned up really quick....I respect that.
Very impressive silver smithing work! I've done silversmithing once before, but never at this level. You're truly going all out with this project, and that deserves a lot of respect! Very well done, sir!
Thank you very much!
Sir, you have the patience of a god! The amount of tiny hammer strokes you had to do is unbelievable. But the finished product is so worth it.

Goodness, all the special tools you have, I'm in awe. Oh, and very nice work, as usual - this is coming along nicely.
I legit thought you would use your logo for the ornament. I'm only slightly disappointed you didn't - very nice work
I love the wakazashi series.
Fantastic work, as always, Sir! The anticipation you are building to see the finished piece is phenomenal! Thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you very much my friend!
Lovely work! I really like the direction you are taking your channel in
incredibile...ti riveli essere anche scultore/orafo! Giù il cappello...ottimo lavoro.
Repoussé work, how delightful. Your pitch mix was just right.
Fantastic job
I wasn't sure what to think at first, but the feathers turned out very beautiful. Excellent video!
I love watching your work, and you've answered a lot of questions for me in the past about metal working. Thank you.
Glad to hear! Thank you!
Great work sir
Excellent work 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
You have exceptional good hand at such artwork, not to mention the patience required to put in this. 👌🏻
Wow 😮 BB that looks awesome. You truly are a man of many talents.👍
Fantastic work. I really enjoy this video.😄😄
I'm really enjoying this project and all its pieces.
wow! dude, you're amazing .
Fantastic. I loved watching it . Very good job 👍
Hello mister beautifully made good job well done
so nice to watch
you’re the best
Whoa. ❤
Wow, amazing job 👍
You're a great artist!
I am really looking forward to the finished product 🤞🏼😁🤞🏼
Beautiful work!
Magnificent.
Complimenti, sembra che tu lo faccia di mestiere da vent'anni.
Fai sembrare tutto facile ma immagino il lavoro enorme che c'è dietro. Sei un grande!
Bravo bel lavoro! Mi sto cimentando anche io nella stessa tecnica, ho trovato illuminanti i video di ford hallam
I don't know if this is mentioned at all but aside from crafting skills, the video editing skills are amazing as well!
Really interesting ❤
BEAUTIFUL!

Wow very hard working i am inspiring from your site😮😮😮😮
Well played
Thanks for the video - what does the feather hold some special meaning for you or is it simply a design that you like?
No meaning to me, I chose this shape primarily because I thought it would be an achievable first attempt!
Mentioned in the video description :)
Thank you for watching!
Wow!!!👍👍👍
I'm just completely blown away with the work going into every stage of this build. How long did this part take in real time?
Thank you!!
First one took 3.5 days with material prep and tool making.
The second just one long day :)
Nice menuki. Let me guess, you watched some of Ford Hallams videos.
Thanks! Yes I have, he released the very few videos about this subject here on yt! A real master.
Also linked his channel in the video description :)
to keep the hemisphere from moving you can put rubber or silicone in it
Yeah, back when I made the pitch bowl that was my idea. Then I started using it and felt like there was no need. Now I don't know what to think :)
Idea for a video: restore that roller mill. 😊
Right!!! This guy's tools are atrocities that hurt my soul 😂 as soon as a saw the mill my jaw dropped. I'd pop a poopoo valve if I found mine in that bloody state mate.
Yes! I'll restore it someday :)
that's cool
Pekná práca...

Дякую за відео, нервов у тобі не займати))
👍👍👍
👍👍👍😎😎😎
I'm sure I watched you cut up the same bread basket before
Indeed. Stole some of my old clips from the shibuichi video project :)
頑張ってるね

почему сразу не отлил плоскую пластинку?
Thin parts are hard to cast! And I have the rolling mill :)
Результат отличный! Но не оценил трудов с заливкой простой прямоугольной формы...
Wow !

menuki とは mekugi を隠す装飾 上手に出来てる
По-моему, автор видео просто показывал своё мастерство и умение достигать цели непростыми способами. Неужели у него в стране не продается нужный металл в качестве заготовок и ему для получения их, приходится переплавлять старинные вещи?
wow
Что это?
É sério isso? Que trem mais nada a ver. Curuiz.
