Excellent craftsmanship. It is a shame that tinware has been almost entirely forgotten in place of glass and ceramic. It is nice to see someone that keeps the craft alive.
Agreed. I wonder if tin might be toxic like aluminum though. They used to make pots, pans and containers out of lead too. I believe it was the Romans that made a type of wine out of grapes in led pots (for the sweet flavor of the lead). I never would have thought metals would have a flavor, but apparently lead tastes sweet.
@@deucedeuce1572 I can't find a definite answer. Tin itself appears to be non-toxic but can form some undesirable effects if it interacts with acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus. Also when tin is mined, its very common to find lead and other similar metals among the ore, so it may have traces of lead unless its especially refined. Food-grade glass and ceramic on the other hand are basically completely chemically inert
@@Eralen00 Tin is non-toxic in low amounts (like drinking from that cup, cooking non acidic food, inhaling some of the dust, etc), they usually enter and leave the body quickly. High amounts in a small amount of time can give you tin poisoning, symptoms: stomachache, nausea, kidney & liver problems, anemia, etc. Organotin (tin with hydrocarbon substitute) on the other hand is mostly highly toxic, on par with hydrogen cyanide. They are usually applied to various hydrocarbon or silicone product as catalyst, stabilizer, vulcanizer, etc. Plastics like PVC owe it’s longevity to organotins. Just wanna add some more information from what i can gather ^^
I would love to see more of Mr. Yuuki Nishihara and his craft. it has inspired me to try and make some sake cups myself from the pure tin. This video gives plenty of great info even without narration or captions.
Nice workshop! He used a water torch, that table mounted shear, that very large sheet rolling mill, an oxy-fuel torch, many hammers and stakes/ anvils, at least one casting mold, miscellaneous less expensive items, and doubtless more that he didn’t show on this project. He has some nice counter space and his sort of wood ‘stump’ for the stakes and anvils. Then he has to have materials, chemicals and other expendable supplies. Laying out a jewelry fab/ sheet forging and forming workshop like this runs to money really fast in the US and would even cost more in Japan where he is and where taxes are much higher. It is a nice shop!
@@Xontor23 yes, it is tin. It has a very low melting point, is soft and easy to work, holds a bright finish is non-toxic. So it has some great qualities and used to be very popular for household utensils made by a tinker or tinsmith. It’s characteristics make it a good metal for metal working hobbyists to begin with, though it is not super cheap. A couple of downsides are that it is easy to dent and scratch, and you could accidentally melt it if you exposed it to too hot of a fire. It melts at a lower temp than lead! (450F/ 232C for tin vs 621F/ 328C for lead).
I have read that archeologists think it was a shortage of tin that ushered in the iron age. Since tin was required to make bronze, when it became difficult to import the tin needed to make the bronze, craftsmen turned to iron which is readily available. If I recall correctly it is thought they already knew how to refine and work iron, but bronze was preferable because of how much iron rusts. Of course these are hypotheses based on archeological finds.
HagShack5, it is made of tin and safe to drink from. The other respondent keeps saying these are made from lead. But I have demonstrated from multiple points of observation in comments elsewhere that these are made of tin, which is safe and not of lead.
I just saw the pricing on these products.... unless they have gold tinted, for my bank account the store is overpriced. Good video and the guy seems to be good at making the products from his hands.
This work is so beautiful. You are truly mesmerizing. To watch this metal turn into beautiful things under your fingers is like watching a Mozart. ❤️❤️❤️
We should all be so good. I assume you don’t mean to belittle what he is doing. No one figures out how to do things like this, it is always taught. That does not mean it is not impressive. Most of us were taught most of what we needed to do for gainful employment, I mean.

Like it I am a master of precision mechanics and beside (mostly) using newest technologys like to do genuine craftsmanship. Using silver instead of tin is a challenge ..... Doing it you getting very close to the soul of silver a kind of shapeshifting
It is different forging tin than forging silver because tin is softer and will melt on a hot plate as he does, unlike silver with it’s much higher melting point. Also, silver requires regular annealing when forging, and if it is sterling it is prone to firescale requiring extensive polishing to remove. Pure tin as he is using does not have firescale, so when he is done planishing, and using textured hammers he does not have to polish it.
🟦 Actually, Aluminum is a good deal more brittle than Tin, silver, or copper,...and cannot be worked QUITE this way, even though there are similarities in the techniques used, Aluminum would fracture and crumble if treated in some of the same ways as Tin or Silver.
@@Anenome5 he uses both. The hydrogen torch is at about 2:10, the oxy/fuel torch is at about 8:27, and it is a high volume torch that might be suitable for glass work.

I had no idea tin was so soft and could be melted on a stove top. Watching him work was very interesting and relaxing.
That's why we had bronze before steel. Copper and tin are very soft and easy to melt/work with.
Tin is such a wonderful metal it’s a shame it’s so expensive, otherwise we’d use it for everything
is it tin or is it pewter? because the melting point of tin is 445 and the melting point of pewter is 338
@@jacksonsherbertgaming4437 The title says tinware, so I assume tin.
@@volatile100 and just because its called tin ware is because tin cans were always made of tin. So is he making cans pressure can beets maybe????

It’s called planishing not banging with a hammer it’s amazing they still do that. Great craftsmanship

At first, I felt sad this man doesn't have modern machines, but slowly slowly everything comes up one by one 😂😂😂 cool craft nonetheless..
The hand work is absolutely part of what makes his love for the craft real. I think if I was in his place I’d be reluctant to use them myself.

It's a hydrogen-electrolysis torch probably. Very DIY-able.
