Thread: Japanese tv

Hi, Groggy -- Recovering from a recent dog bite (mine own faithless hound -- but I was breaking up a fight), I was ordered by the doc not to use my left arm. Having nothing to do, I spent a few days watching what a friend called "Japanese Tool P*rn on youtube.

Saw a number of clips with this same carpenter, though not this one. Man, that is some serious "stiction" he gets! Wonder if it's just the stone, or whether he used some nagura first. Seems to me most of these really experienced guys don't use it.

For my part, I only use it on a really hard stone to start some slurry.

Thanks for the post.

It seems that diamond plates are being used more now to raise a slurry and that also has the advantage of flattening the stone at the same time.

Looks like a natural stone he is using there and some of them can be very sticky. Even managed to do it from time to time myself on a muddy one. Impossible to do if the bevel isn't completely flat. That party trick is to demonstrate that it is.

Hey, NeilS --

I have some pretty muddy stones that will do that. I was thinking this guy must be using a harder stone, though there's no reason behind my logic. (As usual.)

Good idea about the diamond plates. I've got a few stones that could benefit from that kind of slurrification. (What? It's a word. You could look it up!)

It ain't Better Homes and Gardens is it.? Wonderful stuff. Thanks Groggy.

I did, and it is, but I'm not sure it is going to become my new word of the month...

I guess that would have to be the feeling of satisfaction you get when you have worked up a nice lot of slurry on your stone...

Nicely done, NeilS.
