Making wrought iron tsuba videos

[Dan tsuba]

So, I was just fumbling around on the internet (again) and found these really cool videos of a guy making wrought iron tsuba (using modern tools).

 

The first video shows how he can achieve different surface designs on tsuba, and the second video shows the outcome of using wrought iron that is rusted to make a tsuba (who knows, maybe all those Tempo type tsuba were not all hand hammered?).

 

I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I did!
