As one of our freshman prepares for his first TV appearance, the master gives a brief lecture on using carpentry equipments.

 

The master surprises the freshman with stories on wood carving for example;

木殺し a technique using the nature of wood

1 carpenter presses the wood using a hammer to fit it into the hole

2 eventually the wood try to expand itself

3 the two pieces are bonded completely

 

Something Tokyo University don’t teach.

 

The reporter, a famous comedian, used to be called “Master of setting up scaffolds 足場名人” when he was working part-time at a construction site. He asks Akimoto why this company attracts so many highly educated carpenters.

 

“Because it’s fun.”

 

Of course it is.

 

Nice guy.
