  • Japanese saw giveaway, remember, no locals! This one is for everyone else, worldwide shipping included www.blacktailstudio.com/giveaway and people, PLEASE look at the name of who contacts you. If it doesn't say "blacktail studio" it isn't me. Anything will "telegram" or some number is a scam. I probably will not do another one of these because people think I am the one scamming them, please help other people in the comments who don't read this or are leaving me angry comments because they think its me. This is a real giveaway, but you need to visit the link above, not some telagram or whatsapp number.

    • A bit like Boosted GT from Street Outlaws and bald McConaughey at some angles. Love your work to say the least, even this new one! The time and attention to all the arduous details most wouldn't think twice about skipping out on, is so great to see! Do you have a video about the cost of just wood and epoxy?? Or a ballpark figure if I wanted to make a 2'x4' coffee table top? Thanks for sharing.

    • Yeah, I don't get how an "average" band could crank out 150+ hits and do things like filling the top five hits for whatever timing cycle they used, back then. And for those who dismiss those accomplishments by saying popularity doesn't count, it doesn't make them look smart or sophisticated, they just look like snobs. And that's not forgetting the many, many successful professional musicians who think they did great work. Can a non-pro casually dismiss all those expert opinions? Well, many try, because they believe they have that "truth" (their opinion) on their side. Whatever gets you through the night, it's alright, I guess.

  • Looks amazing, especially for something you weren't used to doing. I'm glad you had gone with that second handle design, I've seen way to many restoration channels make the same mistake of over modernizing an old design, with good intensions, only for it to ruin the look and feel of the tool. Awesome job.

I honestly was kind of starting to think I might have dreamt it. a LONG time ago I watched something on the History channel about restoring really old book; they used dry ice blasting. They said that the tiny dry ice shards would sublimate on impact, breaking away dirt and grime without having enough energy to hurt the old paper and leather.

    • P.S: One suggestion I can give (as I'm filmmaker by trade) is to begin color grading your videos and using high CRI light sources in your shop. That will most definitely give your audience and your clients a better idea of the natural materials that you are working with. I suggest doing the filming in the whatever LOG format your camera is capable of and using a "color space transform" and have a white balance checked while you're at it. Your footage looks good otherwise though!

Being a maker is about learning, and taking risks. Keep doing what you are doing. One can learn more about your attention to detail than they ever could from your technique. Edit: What a gnarly looking saw ... makes you really respect what the craftsmen in the days of yore had to go through, doesn't it?

It probably had sentimental value to it, and some white guy comes in and buys it just to get views on youtube to "restore" it, then give it away to someone that will probably hang it on the wall for a year or two, and then chuck it in the garbage when they get tired of looking at it. Japanese guy is no fool! He knew...

  • Really worthwhile project. I found restoration videos improve my mood and encourage me to keep improving and extending my output. This saw was the solution to the problem of cutting truly straight and parallel boards for drawer sides of those exquisite cabinets the Japanese are so good at. The extreme depth of the blade prevents wandering producers very little waste sawdust (unlike the chain saw🤭) which is a consideration of you are cutting rare and expensive timber.

    • Yul Brunner, Telly Savalas (I have 2 & can't decide lol) that was an excellent video. You would have undoubtedly found it much easier if you had propped up the workpiece and sawn in a downwards direction with your feet on the ground. Bending over like you did, sawing upwards, is back-breaking! Also, you were cutting INTO the end-grain i.e. against the grain, which snags the teeth. Try it with the piece up high, horizontal, with the end facing you, and cut with the grain for starters. So on long cuts you end up underneath the timber. You need high trestles because you're cutting overhead, so that's a disadvantage, yes I once had to cut the ends off rafters on a shallow roof, not directly along the grain of course but at a very acute angle, standing on a platform, with the blade horizontal I cleaned & sharpened my grandfather's old hand-ripsaw (which had not seen use for 50 years because of modern tools). This was before YT so I became "expert" from an old carpentry textbook (old-school!) I was afraid I'd stuff up the job with a savage heavy circular saw, because of the complete awkwardness of the situation & lack of control, fighting against gravity, difficulty in seeing my marked line, etc, you know what circular saws are like lol imagine with sawdust flying everywhere spitting into your face; the cut was at shoulder level, blade horizontal as I said. Anyway, I was absolutely amazed! It was so easy! Ripsaws are broad & long (it was a standard saw, cutting on the push-stroke) but it was controllable, I had no trouble following the line, it cut like blazes and did a perfect job on 20 cuts of about 18 inches length. Supreme tool for the task, very much superior to a modern power tool for the craftsman-like finish that I hold myself to, even for "rough" carpentry. I could no doubt have bought a lighter power saw with a vacuum dust extractor or something but I'm still delighted, 20 years later, that I did it that way. It was a joy. Haha the things that give us find memories. I don't think that you gave that ancient saw a genuine try, and man, I hope that you find yourself in a tough situation where you think laterally, take it down off the wall and let it gloriously shine, doing the job in a way that only it can. Beautiful restoration though! I sincerely hope it comes in useful, even if it's only once, and you can treasure it for that, as I do for my Pop"s saw. It gave me that fantastic based feeling that you get, wood-working by hand.

  • I like the restoration video you've done here. I'm not a furniture guy so much as a "process" guy. I like to see these things done, no matter what the end result or object of the build is. Your format and "brand", if you will, transfers to a tool restoration video quite well and that brand is what people tune in for. :)

  • @blacktail studio, So there are a few things with Japanese blades (Saws knives, swords) depending on who made it what it was used for and/or by. This becomes important in why he said not to use it after midnight. There are a couple possibilities but my expert guess it that it is somewhat of a cursed blade; this also is the reason the old man would not sell it. The reason it may be cursed could be anything such as the original owners spirit stayed attached after he died, it was used to make things that took lives, was used to kill someone, or it is just so old that it has its own spirit. But either way i would heed his warning and also would not sell it to anyone.

  • Very nice, sympathetic restoration. The vice that you made to sharpen the saw was great, as long as it was well supported and didn't let the teeth 'chatter' during filing then it did its job. I agree with your decision about the handle. The blued finish is interesting, the blued finish is a controlled oxidation layer but it has a certain porosity which holds oil really well, reducing the likelihood of rust on that surface. Nice all round.

  • Hey JK Simmons, I think this may be the video you've made that resonates with me the most. I love your furniture videos, but it's great to see you branch out and try other things that clearly interest you and it keeps things fresh. Super refreshing to watch you bail on the gorgeous spalted maple handle at the last step. Showing that process of all the work that went into something that ended up being a failed test piece is really interesting and something that is glossed over by a lot of 'rest of the owl' videos out there! Just another reminder that sometimes it's best to follow your gut and committed to your vision. It's that desire to elevate your work that I think really steps you above other creators and it's why I subbed to the channel. Humour on point too - love that swap to the chainsaw!
