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

@@the_funny_man agreed
@@achair9771 As long as the kid is raised well, it wouldn't, the kid has to learn to be grateful.
It is a universe
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
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'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 not a carpenter, artist, or a grandpa, he is an angel.
TwT yeah
Actually he’s al of the above
Must video
No no aliens they don't believe in church he loves his son
He is a granpa
If anyone who deserves to be on Masterclass series it’s him!. Chinese people are so talented!.
@Wooper when did the topic of Asian people come in- the dude’s Chinese. 😐
@@The-Cookie Chinese people are also Asians; and it’s actually a stereotype where Asians (which usually are actually just East Asians) are always better and more talented than others.
@@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

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.
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

Live long Master
I'll never forget what my own grandfather told me:
"A child wants, a fool begs, an impatient one buys, but a man makes"
Mass respect to you Grandpa woody 👍
Your grandfather was wise. Mine was a chronic smoker who constantly told me to get him more werther hard candies.
Nice..
Thank you for sharing. I will keep this in memory.
Nice quote, I'll save it 👍
Apart from condoms, never make your own condoms.
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.

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.
What a caring and very intelligent person who's using his skills for the great! His grandchild is one lucky kid, I can guarantee that
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 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.
I hope every grandfather make his grandchild happy its so touching

To be honest, most of the toys Grandpa Amu builds is better than the toys we have.
So true
Absolutely true

last longer too
Because everything is made in Chin-... oh wait
Is no one talking about where this guy is living? This is a very pretty patch of land he's sitting on. With a running stream and everything.
He's Shandong Province in northern China, and the video was shot in Wuzhou, Guangxi, in the south

they just need to learn how
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. 💕

Amazing. He shud run a class to pass his expertise to who wud like to learn. Grandpa is a genuis
This two year toddler was given a guardian angel , a grandfather, and a toy maker. He is truly blessed.
This guy’s an engineer and probably doesn’t even know it.

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.

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.
Now this man is someone worth admiring and wanting to know. And he produces the stuff your children should play with! So many kids just get hooked on electronics from such an early age and I feel like it stunts their creativity
Me too. My boys grew up on legos. Not cell phones or games. My youngest is 16. He still uses legos today.

I’m glad that the kid is being brought up in this kind of environment rather than in the big city.
I'd say "Grandmaster Capenter" is a more fitting title.
From a Carpenter in New Zealand.

His wooden masterpieces bends the rules of physics
Can’t understand a single one
Actually he follows the rules of physics as if he had written several theses in the field.
Wow what a talented guy and how big love for his grandson. Thanks for his son who showed how much skillful his father is , to the world. Amazing
It would be really amazing if his grandson shows interest in learning the craft. Its just so special and beautiful
Million times better than the current modern Technology.
His promise has been fulfilled for his grandson.
His grandson is so lucky to have a grandfather like him.. and i feel like, although im not into woodworling but i want to learn his technique in woodworking (how he build something without nails and hammer) and i love the puzzle toy he made (the apple)

It would be unwise to take this small example in expand it to a full Nation
Just like it would be unwise for to expand an individual's negative behavior and expanded to a full city, state, nation or race

Respect!! Grandpa can show us all a thing or two, hope he can get to transfer his inspired ideas and skills to grandson and other youngsters.
What a wonderful grandfather!!! His inventions are ingenious and adorable!!!
What a fortunate young fellow to have such a loving, attentive grandfather. Grandfather is quite ingenious with his projects. So precise and detailed. Wish I had such a grandfather.
He should write a book on making toys. Many would buy it, me first.

what made you assume he doesnt have enough money?
Jeannette - Maybe the fact that he lives in a rural area. Common misconception. But in reality, a lot of ppl who live in the rural area have money. I live in the city and my house is smaller than my relatives’ who live in the province. They also own a huge land.

This’s guy is a genius...most of engineers or architects can’t even do that
Why did you compare a carpenter to a architect? this guy's couldn't design a structurally sound skyscraper but that doesn't mean architects are better it's just a different profession
They can if they wanted to but first distinguish the differences between an architect and engineer to grandpa on this video. Both architects and engineers designs the blueprint that contains a set of detailed instructions to create structures, the one doing the physical work are the carpenters. So technically, they know how to build it, but probably lacks the muscle memory for precise woodwork.
Also modern technologies paved way for better sturdy, structural designs therefore rendering these traditional methods obsolete. So you wont see much architects doing these
doidoin architects are wannabe civil engineers who are bad at math.
this is a man who loves his craft and and grandson dearly :D
I've seen his bridge building vídeo before. This man makes me love people. Always admired people that make intricate wood toys and puzzles. Truly gifted people.
Finally, toys you can see and not step on a lego and try not to die from pain .
wait till your foot gets slammed by a falling one lol

I hate when ppl saying they're poor, they're just living on the countryside so they made more handmade stuff, very talented and hard working 😍😍
That’s pretty awesome his grandson will always treasure these moments with his grandpa .
Absolutely beautiful and amazing! Wish I have even a fraction of the skill level that this master carpenter has. Thanks for uploading this video!
