when I was a Nursing student, one of my teacher was a Japanese and she was wonderful. The way she thought us is very gentle, detail and delicate specially on the bed care. I'm very grateful and blessed in my life had this Teacher.

I saw a demonstration of this woodcraft many years ago...I watched people turning blocks of wood into sheets of paper with a block-plane...amazing!

[porkchop]

Japanese wood working and all the special joints they use is incredibly impressive

[antlou]

Japanese culture has 💯 respect for woodworking.

[agalgonzalez]

A nine micron thick cut with only a block plane?! That is unbelievable! A human hair is 70 microns wide and a white blood cell is 25 microns wide. Most impressive!

[Yash_Bhosale]

Man they are masters in wood, just look at their ancient monuments.. mostly of wood but yet still standing and beautiful

[simhakuttyforever]

That is a special wood. No ordinary wood can do that.

Japan is really about accuracy and dedication in everything you do 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[Shahabas_Shan]

I believe their dedication to perfection and workman ship is made it a country of technology and cuteness in the same time. Glad the businesses there are more into bringing new technologies to the front that make most money out of what they have invested in

[AreUmygrandson]

Japanese carpenters are so talented. The houses they build without a single nail are very impressive

[michaellewchuk]

I admire so many aspects of Japanese culture. Discipline. Respect. Care taken. Pride in the details. I like these as cultural traits.

I'm a carpenter 1-3mm is b/s for a hand plane, it's generally much thinner. Granted these Japanese tradesmen are producing incredibly thin shavings. most hand plane shavings would be somewhere around 0.25-0.5mm roughly. 1-3mm Exaggerated greatly
