Thinnest Shavings You Have Ever Seen - Japanese Woodworking (3 Videos)

How thin can you go? Real thin. The uploader recommended a second video explaining the importance of wood planer fine tuning so we've added that one also!...

Fast Fact: There's a unique wood planing competition held every year in Japan? (see final video)
The competition test competitors' skills by seeing who can shave off the thinnest piece of wood possible.
It seems pushing the limits of one’s abilities with their tools in Japan is not only entertaining - but quite impressive!

In November 2012 the wood planing competition was held in the port city of Uwajima, on the island of Shikoku, and the thinnest shaving was only 9 microns thick. A micros is one-thousandth of a millimeter…Just to give you an idea of how impressively thin that is, the average human hair is 100 microns across, a cloud water droplet is 10 microns in diameter, and a human blood cell measures 8-9 microns. Even more incredible is the fact that the record for the thinnest shaving currently stands at 3 microns.

Robot VS Japanese Samurai Swordsman

This robot can slice a bean in half - lengthways! But so can his teacher, Japanese swordsman Isao Machii. The robot was designed by Japanese engineers to copy the moves of the renown samurai sword master, cutting hard-angled cuts with speed and precision. Machii is so swift and precise, he can slice a BB gun pellet fired at him at about 200 km per hour, (see 2nd vid), but he still lost the swordfight to the machine. In the end, it was the first to reach 1000 cuts! ...

Hatsune Miku: "Sharing the World" - David Letterman

Japan's virtual pop star, Hatsune Miku, appeared on David Letterman this week but the band is real, it's only the girl with the huge pigtails that is not!...

Hatsune: She's an adorable "vocaloid" which is the name given to a figure who visually represents a vocal synthesizer program. If that's confusing, think about how your favorite producer creates sounds and tones with synths and then shift that thinking to human vocal notes. Fans buy her software to create their own music, making her any kind of pop star they want her to be, whether that's performing originals (like the 2008 track "World Is Mine" that has nearly 13 million listens on YouTube) or covers (like this "Anaconda" rap).

And she's massive. She's not only Japan's biggest celeb on social media, but has her own upcoming expo dedicated to her in New York and Lady Gaga picked her to open her artRave: The ARTPOP Ball tour.

Nina Explains: The Situation in Egypt

Cute little Japanese-American girl explaining a Egyptian situation!

Note: We never expected this video to become so popular. This was just our latest video of Nina in her day to day life. We are not political pundits. The information Nina is sharing here comes from an Asahi Shimbun Newspaper article about the situation in Egypt. Nina saw the picture in the newspaper and asked about it and her mother explained the content of the article to her in Japanese. Then, the next day, Nina saw a similar picture in my English newspaper and started to explain what she had learned in English, so I grabbed my video camera.
