Amazing.
I also like his micro adjustment.
I wouldn't have liked his learning years though.

Its an absolute joy to watch any master display his or her craft and the info shared is also a great insight. The Japanese artisans always have such a deep empathy with their craft. Thanks for the link Martin.
