THE MAKING(English Version)(271)The Making of Gold Leaf

- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- This series follows the technology used to make products we regularly come in contact with, explaining its contents and related science and technology. In this episode we introduce gold leaf. In order to make the gold leaf easy to stretch, silver and copper is mixed with gold by melting it at 1,300 degrees Celsius. After the gold alloy is thinned by running it through rollers, it is placed between sheets of special Japanese washi paper, and then pounded and thinned out until it’s thinned to a width of one ten-thousandth of a millimeter.

Who else loved the way the gold leaf ripples like a liquid when she blew air onto the sheets?
Me that was my favorite part. It's so cool and shows how unique gold is.
1% gold, 99% labor. This is incredible!
💀
I appreciate being able to see the process, but I could hardly stand to watch him guiding the stacks under the pounder with his hands.
Carol Melancon OSHA would be all over that process in the U.S.
+ER VanWagner don't cause trouble.
+Carol Melancon You should search "vietnam buffalo horn cut" and watch a guy chopping up stuff with a benchsaw....
Carol Melancon Ikr, first thing I thought
I don't see what the problem is. Yeah, and auto-hammer is big and scary with the ability to smash your hands, but he has good control of his work with plenty of margin . Artisan work is done all over the US and UK under the same conditions as is portrayed in this video.
This man is using wooden tweezers and not ripping any of the paper.
I can barely not shake holding tweezers. Good lord.
It's no easier placing it where it's going to stay in the end. We use a fine, flat, long stiff haired brush charged up with static electricity. You only get one chance.
You should see the blooper reel ...
They-
They're called chopsticks
What he's using is chopsticks
Wtf are wooden tweezers?????
Another reason why they use Wooden Tweezers/Chopsticks is because to avoid static Electricity As gold is element of metal afterall
Thank you for this. I did not know how much actually went into making gold leaf. Very interesting.
The making of gold leaf is something I learned about as a child, crafts are so pleasing.
I'll never look at goldleaf the same
same
Absolute magic happens at 11:10
Bless you
I was astonished when i saw that haha. Love it
Oh my god! wow!
Sorry I know this comment is over 2 years old lol.
@@MichaelJOneill333 You better be! Or else...
BlaDeKke 🤐🥺
Absolutely amazing! I had no idea it was such a craft and so time consuming. Wow.
The amount of patience in making this
And then all this hard work is thrown into a gallon of slime....
Allyson Michelle right. People are so spoiled they don't even value anything.
Allyson Michelle ;
I doubt the ones people use for slime are made like in the vid
Ruby3023 considering how versatile gold leaf is used now a days and in the quantities (food, craft, decoration, fucking slime) it would be crazy expensive if it was still done by hand. The work expenses alone for the amount of you produce would make it crazy to buy for a private person, let alone for someone who wanted to use it for slime.
well, guess what? _they pay for the gold leaf, hardworkers get_ *_money_*
Wow! I will never complain about the price of gold leaf ever again. Lol
this is a roller coaster ride of emotions
Amazing crafts people 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰
I have done some gilding as a sign artist. Seeing actually being made is terrific. Thank you.
Amazing, such a lot involved in the making of this gold leaf I had no idea. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for uploading this video. Such patient and skill 🌹
I'm using gold leaf in a painting right now, and watched this wonderful video while my size is setting. Just fascinating!
Never again will I complain about the cost of a few sheets of gold leaf at Michael's!
Loving the Finglonger are 10:33. Classy item for a classy man.
Wow!! What an amazing process. Such craftsmen and women.
Wow, what an interesting process!
Very nice.. & interesting gold leaf. Amazing work.👌👌👍
Wow... Hats off to the craftsmen efforts 👌
wow. The Japanese are truly the epitome of PERFECTION.
They do everything 1000000%
yeah like having robot girlfriends
Same technique around the world.
It's a fascinating process! Thank you for sharing! :)
This attention to detail is how Japan went from feudalism - literally feudalism, from the late 1100s to the late 1800s, a few centuries after feudalism had died out everywhere else on the planet - to world economic power in less than a century. In the west the industrial revolution turned skilled craftspeople into replaceable employees, a trend that has only been reversing over the past couple of decades... Japan just skipped over that part, incorporating skilled craftspeople into every level of industry. Serious respect.
Helped by the cabal after WW2.
That was rebuilding, in a modern, for that time, way. So it can be done quickly. If left to their own volition, it would have had their traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail they have had for thousands of years.
Not only in Japan is gold leaf made that way, there are still some manufacturers in Germany for example.
feudalism didnt died, here in argentina we have 2 provinces that are almost feudals with the same tyrant and corrupt ruling for more than 20 years with sheeps voting them over and over again for a fucking social plan
Fantastique de voir cette technique artisanale de fabrication de a à Z d'une feuille d'or.
Je suis un papy artiste graveur de 73 ans, j' ai fais dans les années 1970 du recouvrement de cadre de mes œuvres d'art cinétique lors d'une exposition à Zurich Suisse; Le patron de la galerie avait aussi un atelier d'encadrement; j' ai travaillé dans son atelier quelques jours pour faire de la dorure à la feuille d'or sur ces cadres. Des cadres tarabiscoté de l' époque régence.
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo. Fantastique de voir ça ! ! ! Bravo à cet artisant du Japon. . Patrick Dupré , Montpellier / France
Amazing! It is always good to watch this kind of video, so that we value more the items that we buy for usage. Whenever I buy gold leaf for using in bookbinding I will have even more appreciation of the craft behind it.
Japanese dedication to their work is unbelievable!!! Much respect from the Philippines!!!
Gold leaf is made in many parts of the world in the same way.
11:08 Best Part
The selected music for this presentation was purchased at the dollar store.
LMFAOOO underrated comment
Incredible! TFS!
I often wondered why you would occasionally see a blood spattered thumb print in the middle of a piece of gold leaf...… Now I know why, and knowing is power!
That’s super cool!!! 🤗🤗
Searching for why people eat gold lead me here, and now you have a new subscriber great video keep it up.
At 0:50 malleability and ductility are reversed. Ductility is the ability to be drawn.
Amazing!!!
it is the incredible human labor, so skilled and careful, that makes this product more valuable than gold. What an amazing video!
0.1 micron thick... wow! Thanks for share - an interesting video.
la paciencia es lo mas increíble, jejeje, me encanto el video.
Great work.
I salute your talent, much respect.
Simply Amazing 🤩
Fascinating
This channel is awesome
I bet that technique had been past down the generation's for many years ,thank you for sharing this x
Millennia
This so awesome! The patience and delicacy you must possess to do this, is astounding. Thank you for the video. I truly enjoy it!
Omg, they are so patient and skilled ⭐
amazing work
Very cool!
that was fascinating.
Amazing precisions
SUPERB!
Chinese and Japanese have such a amazing intelligence to make things out of any material and they have such a successful way do their incredible task and talent doing everything that they have around them I have so much respect for them cause they're resourcefulness is incredible I will never loose respect for them but not cpp
WOW ! Such pride in their work AND that pounding machine ,that poor man must hear it in his sleep ? Very fascinating!
I am particularly enjoying this knock-off How It’s Made episode
How It's Made 2001-
THE MAKING 1998-
Wow!👏👏
So pretty!
Amazing..
Interesting video and nice music
Incredible how they can still handle it whole when it's so thin
Absolutely spell-binding ... my God, you must have to be extremely skilled to use it at the end, you really can't afford to make a mistake, can you?
Only the Japanese would have this much patience. Amazing
Made in many parts of the world, the same way.
What a delicate process at the end.
I know! Every time they handled it, I was terrified it was going to rip! XD
Very informative.
The most satisfying video
Patience is needed for this profession :)
i bet when buddy cleans his house he can go on vacation with what he finds inside his vacuum :D
very talented people
Very nice
For 7 thousand years they show an amazing amount of knowledge from how to make a broom by hand to making a sword that is unbreakable to exquisite furniture that they never use nails or glue the perseverance of the mind to them in the past is extraordinary everything they did was like a well organized ant colony but so incredibly awesome and more advanced and more interesting is that they develop medecins from earth it's really incredible thing that they understand how nature works and listen and learn about the surroundings and animals and plants water that I admire lots
This is what the RUclips was made for.
I had no idea that was done by hand. That automatic hammer is similar to a blacksmithing auto hammer. Used in that fashion, it probably mashed a few fingers of inexperienced users.
Hand hammered before the mechanical hammer was made.
mesmerizing
Wow!
Amazing
11:09 The most satifying bit where the gold is totally uncreased by a small blow.
Interesting
amazing is not enough!!!
amazing it's really awesome.
Круто👍
True craftsman
Very interesting how this is done.
Wow. WOW! I had no idea..............Thanks for posting!
incredible
amazing
WOW!
I really want to give 2 thumbs up but after seeing that machine pounding so close to his hands all I can do is wonder how many thumbs have been lost. This process is amazing.
Imagine the last lady sneezing after finishing the bundle!!
😬 *@**11:43**, imagine if a window blew open and a huge gust of wind flew in. The lady would probably just faint.* 😂
@romeo9782 She would quickly cover the stack before she sneezed.
Try applying a number of sheets, surface gilding a boat name, outside. This is the same stuff they use to letter fire trucks. Crushed velvet, or cotton balls are used to make the "engine turning" design in the lettering.
some patience, very nice work
At 0:43 the video is incorrect. Malleability it the ability of the metal to be pounded into sheets. Ductility is the ability of the metal to be stretched into wires.
0:51 Ductile/ductility is a metal being able to be drawn out into thin wire. I think they got them mixed up.
The part of the word Duct, of the latin root ductus meaning I lead/draw. And draw as in drawing a piece of metal into wire.
woow never seen this before. soooo much struggle to make this wonderful piece of sheet
Wow that is incredible. The skill and time is amazing. I'm glad I've learnt something new like that today thank you
The steadiness of that lady's hand in the last cutting part was amazing, If I were doing her job heck there would be a lot of mess and crumples.
My blood Pressure went up while watching the pounding machine.Yikes
11:05 the paper’s motion oh my god. Nice
this kind of work that need patience, and i dont have it thank you
