    Hey man, You combined my three favorite things. Woodturning, Kendama, and skateboarding! nice work and technique on this Kendama. I turned my first Kendama probably something like five years ago and at the time there was nobody showing their process of making them on CZcams. probably because if everybody turned Kendamas the market value for hand turned ones would go way down and I doubt anybody that was making them lol! Personally I think the hardest part is turning the Tama to the proper specs. Then again I’ve never used carbide tools so maybe it’s a bit easier that way? Anyways, once again great job dude. I just felt like making some again for the first time in a long time so I thought I’d check the old CZcams out to see who’s doing this nowadays and I found you. Subscribed for sure.
