"If you don't hear me hammering it means Bong Ju Lee is dead." that hit me so hard. I hope I can find something I love to do as much as this man loves his craft.
I’m so lucky because I’m almost the same with my feelings towards my job. I wake in the morning and can’t wait to get started. I make more money than I ever believed, more than I need to comfortably live, love my job, have a loving family. I’m blessed.
He's not only making a simple bronzeware, he's making the history of Korea. A true master in his craft with the dedication and an insane work ethic even at 96 years old that put us youngsters to shame. Truly inspiring. Respect to you, good sir 🙏
Ah to be able to make something with your hands
No
"If you don't hear me hammering, it means Bong Ju Lee is dead." thems some badass words right there.
The guy in the red tee, being air pump and a motor for the grindingly process must be mad fit.
Buff Korean Harry Potter
Dude I saw that and I was like "I'm going to die in 15 mins if I'm on that."
My boy just there to work out
He still has a good sense of humor about his son being a cultural icon as the only one left who knows how to make an ancient chamber pot. Hopefully his son is wise enough to take the joke.
I think being a cultural asset is like a pretty prestigious thing in South Korea so I reckon it’s probably a slick subtle brag
P.S I said think. plz don’t judge too hard if I’m wrong this is God of Highschool knowledge I’m using.
I think is just to receive money and status as old business from the government
@@JujFuj It is. It's the same as being designated as Living National Treasure in Japan - that means the government acknowledged your outstanding skill and mastery over certain craft, arts, skills (heck, there's even a blade sharpener being designated as one!). And you get subsidized with 2M Yen/Year.
@k k A chamber pot is a fancy word for toilet.
He looks and sounds great for 96. Love his accent. He hasn't lost a beat at 96 after a life of hard labor and arduous historical events.
I think Korean age is different then his birth date
@@nbdyprfct9941 Yes. He is either 94 or 95. If his birthday passed it's 95 if not 94.

Just the lie in documents. They even don't had passports and lived in the rice fields.
@@PEACE.- مرحبا
He has his own philosophical trust in his mind with the Yugi pots. We call that craftsmanship. Take my hats off to him.
The joke about the chamber pots was top quality. The son was looking down to avoid busting out laughing lol
Oh my God what a beautiful God given talent this man possesses. May he live to be 200 years old to teach others to make such exquisite and wonderful handmade masterpieces.
Huge respect to this man that dedicated his entire life to this craft. I hope he and those he works with inspire a new generation of bronzeware makers.
Tradesmen of any culture, religion, color, race, or whatever want to call them are amazing to watch and this coming from a tradesman (plumber) for almost twenty years but that man there he is not only dedicated to his trade but an artist
I love watching all these videos. What an amazing art and technique that has been passed down.
“That’s not me bragging about myself, it’s boasting about our ancestors”. What an amazing group.
Historically there was famous bangga master groups in pyong - an provice, nothern korea.
Lots of respect for this man. Not a lot of people his age have the enthusiasm or energy to do anything yet he seems to be living his best life.
This is what the internet is for, to hold on to this kind of information forever. You sir are immortal now.
I always like handmade metal objects. It might cost more, but you know the hard work that was used.
You'd think they'd just retire, but their craftsmanship just shines
Watching this video makes me thankful that we invented power tools and pneumatic presses. This does really look tedious and you have to be a romantic to really appreciate or continue such a craftsmanship
The happiness in his eyes when he talks about his son at 6:39. Gotta love it.
Eye*
@@saltnsweeties9902 🤣🤣🤣
@@saltnsweeties9902 😚👌
Yes he lost a eye in a accident involving a shard of bronze
Bong Ju Lee is a living legend.
Wish they had an online store! Their works are beautiful.
thank you documenting this on a video. I believe, this will become more and more valuable as time passes
you really have to love a hobby when you still do it in your 90s. mad respect
Mad respect for his life and work, but also a living example of why OSHA is in place and one should wear safety eyewear
Loving the work that you do has kept him very healthy for 96 years old.
Their sense of humor is just like Navajo humor lol Reading what they are saying reminds me of what my grandfathers would say
Wow. Thank you for sharing this amazing story Bong Ju Li is a gift to the world. Blessings to you and your family.
Fascinating. I love bronze, copper and brassworking. So many people are obsessed with gold and steel. I love brass
There is something timeless about this. I feel it tells the human story.
It is amazing how materials are processed and the products are prepared, hats off to the master piece products.
Dang, the guy fanning the flames and being on the treadmill (purple shirt) must be exhausted every night
I'd guess the opposite at this point. Doing that every day, guy must have some CRAZY endurance now!
Buff Korean Harry Potter
Very beautiful individual pieces, if my boss ever goes to South Korea, I would ask him to buy a pot/bowl that sounds fantastic like in the beginning of the video. Thanks for showing us this and may the master have many more years to teach his students…
A real craftsman doesn't do it for the money. It's not a "job". It's a part of your identity. This guy will keep doing this work until the day he dies, whether he gets paid for it or not. I find that incedibly beautiful.
The respect in Sth. Korea for traditional ways is to be admired and worthy of copying elsewhere.
The International Airport has numerous Cultural Centers where travelers can join in to try all sorts of Arts and Crafts and Musicians and Actors perform LIVE.

Beautiful work! Thanks for this video!
Mad respect only for the man and his work
Genius;... amazing.!.two thumbs up !.. teamwork and skills nailed it .
You'd think after loosing an eye he'd be like "maybe I should wear something to protect my other eye"..
Well, he does wear glasses. But I think everyone in this workplace should wear glasses, many I have seen dont.
@@nulldemokratiezwei7773 They should be wearing SAFETY glasses with no possibility of objects going past them from the sides or below and also well... shatter resistant.
At that time safety awareness wasn't that high in many/most countries, just as environmental pollution wasn't considered a big issue then.
@@Esablaka as someone who blacksmiths, I have found having a welder IR 3 or 5 shaded pair of goggles when staring directly at metal of these temperatures is the best way to go
The background musics was lowkey fuego🔥
my guy lost an eye and NO ONE is wearing eye protection in his shop!
I like how he had two answers for why they sprinkle sawdust, but "tradition" was the first reason. He still DID have the scientific explanation too, though. It wasn't blind adherence to tradition. So cool to see.
Amazing. I spent a year in Korea from 84 to 85, when I was in the army. Wish I had known about this then.
He's very fit for such an old man. Working keeps you young 👍
Props to the guy working the bellows and the foot pedals!
A true craftsman.... Such a dieing breed. Men like him are very few now.
Yes, every thing today is being made with machines there's no spirit or heart anymore
0:14 내가 잘못봤나 했네;; 96세 인데 저렇게 정정하시다니;; 대단하시다;
What a incredible art form. Would be so happy to house one while I am alive. These beautiful pieces have a life of their own , they cannot be owned.
정말 멋있다!
Is just amayzing see them working together
I aspire to these men’s level of posture
96? I would give him 80 tops.
He is looking really good for his age.
일제 625를 거쳤는데도 옛 기술을 가진 사람이 있다는 사실이 놀랍다
Him donating over 3500 pieces of this is extremely impressive. That’s quite a lot different than someone stroking a check
I love the 90yr old lady in Texas who makes a thousand orders of BBQ everyday
doing what you love everyday is life
he looks like he is in his 70s. what a wonderful human being!
These guys are such Legends so Amazing done old school!!!!!
The man is pretty awesome ( so are the other men ). I have a lot of respect for people who are Master Craftspeople. These are the type of people that the world should revere.
Respected Sir's
Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge
Honoured
Lovely work
The ages of the son and father are different, but the appearance of their faces is the same age. always healthy old man
Wow, just frikking wow........ what an amazing guy
Fabulous !
I buy a lottery ticket every week and I make lists of things like this and one day when I win I will take my son around the world to watch these kind of masters at work and buy some of what they have produced.
I have more than 70 places and growing all the time.
One day all will be gone.
AWESOME video! I watched it twice I enjoyed it so much!
5:31 is the best saying I have ever heard!!! I teach the same way, hands on. I CAN teach you something, buy you have to develop your own style, you have to feel within yourself to do it properly and be proficient. Bong Ju Lee, I hope your hammers forever sound!!
"망치 소리 안 들리면 이봉주 죽은 줄 알라"
짧은 문장 속에 큰 울림이 있습니다.
I'm at awe 😍
God bless those folks
That one dude who signed up for a job but somehow ends up working out 8 hours a day
Work comes with a great gym plan it is called WORK. No Wonder the guy is 96.
Stupendous! Thank you so much.
incredible work
What a great guy. A life well lived.
Hmm. Use a mould shaped like a hump then fit the heated bronze pot on it then hammer away till it gets to desired shape. The traditional way seems so tedious but its special that way.
The artistry is 🤩
When he emphasizies he is not boasting, it reminds of a Chinese saying, where a wise ass guy buried 300 taels of gold, then put a sign saying, "there is no 300 taels of gold here..."
I worked a lead dip pot for a time, and we too used sawdust for a similar purpose, tho different in practice.
This guy got a metal chip lodged in his eye causing him to lose it. Still doesn't wear eye protection. That's some kind of dedication. If his ancestors didn't have safety glasses, neither will he
Amazing! 👏👏👏
As most modern Humans longingly look forward to their retirement; This man understands the fact you never really "retire".
96???? 😳 Damn! Respect 💪
Just thank you for this video
This makes me want to make bronzeware
It is great that the Father has passed on his knowledge to his Son but it is a shame that after losing his eye he hasn't managed to convince or demanded of his Son and the other workers to wear protective Glasses.
I shiver when I imagine a piece of Metal in a delicate eye....hopefully not a molten piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it a shame. He gives everyone the liberty to make their own choices.

wowww they forge out two bowls at a time and then separate
this appentice is totally ready to get sucked into a fantasy world he gets both arm and leg day and i bet he has to load all the warehouses full of metal
Dude is awesome 👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
How can I purchase any of these pieces? Is there a site link or do I need to travel to them?
SPECTACULAR!
Amazing Skill... 👍👍
It's very common process of manufacturing in india as a small scale industry....
Respect earned.
This generation should appreciate these men instead of rappers
Can't see that happening be cool work until your 96 ha ha grow up
This guy rules
장인정신 멋있네요
96세 입니다...하는일 자체가 즐겁다
망치소리가 들리지 않으면 이봉주가 죽은 줄 알라...
성인(聖人)의 경지에 도달하신 분 같습니다.
Very nice. I wonder what else Korea has to offer that we don't hear about
So good
Great... Love from India...
진짜 놀라운 한국의 선조들!
Clever ancients who figured all this out, impressive
