My favourite part lately of making YouTube videos has been the outrageous number of pictures to sometimes get a facial expression or a blade angle right for JUST a thumbnail. Except it isn't JUST a thumbnail. It's what makes you stop and decide to watch the video. You then read the title to make sure your interpretation is correct or get additional information about the video to make the final FINAL decision to just click. YouTube is crazy, I love it!

A camera capturing a guy with a camera, capturing a guy (Satoshi Nakagawa) pounding steel to make sharp things. Get ready for a December video release of a whole LOT of Japanese workshop footage + bonus footage of me unboxing what sharp things I brought home with me.
