You Hav To See This Man's Work To Believe It - honest

Just kidding. Pretty spectacular.

"Finger joints"-- hahaha.

I particularly like the finger joints.

I am staring at the two hunks of ham at the end of each arm. Compared to this guy, I am an amputee. This guy has taken some hand crafts to a whole new level.

I like the edges of his work ... beautifully honest.

Beautiful work. Shows to go ya that the skill level of woodworkers has great variation. Earl Creel

Ditto. Perfectly machined edges are glaring to me these days.

I am not worthy

Damn, and I thought I knew at least a little about furniture making John

Charlie, thanks for pointing that one out. Amazing stuff alright.

Yep. They don't make them like they used to...oh wait, this guy is alive?! ;)

He combines superlative skill, an eye for proportion and design, and a sense of humor. I wonder if he has a sister....

If she has the skills and talents of her brother, she would be worthless in other regards....................

I have to say I'm feeling a bit inadequate myself. What an incredible craftsman.

FOR SALE: I shed load of wood working tools, Only used by a complete amateur. :)

Its his patience that I admire - I have so little.

To me, there is nothing wrong with having an attitude that "I am good at what I do. Not the best, but pretty good."

I do have an attitude with people who say, "I'm the best."

I believe if you involved Mr. Yazawa in a conversation, he would say, "Oh, I have a lot to learn," or "There are some who are far better than I," or 'Thank you, but I am only a beginner."

True talent on this scale is always tempered with modesty.

Untalented people always amuse me with their lack of humility.

You, Mr. Michaels are a person I am impressed with as much as Mr. Yazawa.

Can anyone give me an idea of how his "Trick Joint Box" goes together? It looks impossible! And how are those paper thin fingers cut?

Amazing is an expression of my limited vocabulary.

Bullshit. I lack talent and have plenty of humility. In fact, it's my finest feature.
