Lavery
so it's been about a year since that
terrible accident and honestly watching
this still is very painful to me I mean
this was my favorite book by far my
favorite board and now it's in pieces
[Music]
here the truth is I loved everything
about that book like that low and wide
curved intermediates I know it's all
those particularities that make the
charm of such an artifact anyway
following that terrible situation I did
what I usually do I just saw them in
this book my old pastor machine another
Japanese two random knife which hand on
top of a guy won a microplane grater
which needs to well the plate is a mess
it stays in there basically until I
decide to fix it someday so I know it
looks a bit like I don't fix anything
because the box is so full yet it
couldn't be further from the about this
little skillet a while ago and
accidentally I dropped it on the floor
I'm not sure if you can see this but
there is a big crack right there and it
gets even wider when when the pan gets
hot I fixed it by drilling the pan you
know adding two screws in a metal plate
then it creates like a big solid stitch
which is just perfect yet not super
perfect you cook right another example
so I've got this temperature controlled
electric kettle which is just amazing
and yet what failed on me was the
opening button which stopped working
only a few months after I bought this so
for this one that the fix was super
simple I added a loop a tiny screw and
now it just opens when it does the job
so that's the point fixing things is
just healing not only for the object
itself but also for me but for my soul
and for the relationship I
with feelings they are not just
disposable like anyway I think you get
my point let's just go back to the bowl
that was broken Japanese ball stayed in
the box for a while until some day I
decided it was time to fix I decided
thank you so much Lisa for taking care
of us Miyamoto pose devolver doing that
I checked online if there was any
specifics I should be aware of because
it's ceramics and then I discovered the
moment I discovered kimchi I was doomed
the next station is little streets
change for the central and second line
and national rail right so I am Linda
now I am off to see a ceramic artist -
OH - those kintsugi and I obviously have
a few questions for her so sue can you
tell me with your own world well what is
kintsugi then King Suki is a Japanese a
way of mending broken pieces not
necessarily yes if you fix a bike this
part is very important because it all
starts in Japan a while ago that's the
legend at least well like a shoe goon
wanted to fix something it was a gift
from China very beautiful table table
was a very expensive and it was a very
important because tea ceremony was a way
of socializing so it was broken at some
point and then what he sent it back to
China to get it fixed they did fix it
somehow using wire wire like metal wire
Wow so I am guessing he wasn't very
happy with this no he asked the Japanese
craft selected to study and that's how
kintsugi was born yes I son the Sunda
profile just to make it easier to put
some good if I understand it sticks
better mm-hmm yes
and then it keeps a bit of a tiny gap
because there will be a line so you need
a gap and then I glues I'm using this a
latke and the glue can be natural or it
can be synthetic yes and then let it dry
for a week week
it needs a week just to dry yes well and
then I use it another local well it's
not over yet yes it is nice for fixing
these one for coating I'm okay and then
what after each layer mm-hmm I need to
dry for every time you put another layer
you wait for 1 week 2 week then
more at least a week yes and then we put
gold powder powder you have gold powder
she has gold powder in this you keep
this in a safe no how long should you
wait for it to dry completely to dry
completely
Emma's a month so how long does it take
to fix about like a week a week a week a
week a week like like probably three
months yes to fix one fix one board
three months yes I seriously got to
think about this so I'm guessing it
doesn't come very cheap to do this no
how much would it cost to fix one boat
like this I did the normal price that a
special French guy could be 200 yeah 200
pounds that's quite a lot but that's
because of the time I guess yeah and and
in the work behind it and of course yeah
of course
what would you say if I were telling you
I stole all your gold you can't hit me
if I hit you first okay give us next
time with someone goodbye
thank you me to you so much for your
help for your precious tips and for that
lovely chat I now have a much clearer
much better understanding of the
kintsugi technique that's on one hand
yet yet yet I am still struggling with
how to adapt this hour you know limited
abilities and hectic schedules are the
words how to make a cheat sheets of corn
soup as simple as possible as doable as
as affordable as safe-ish that is
basically what I'm gonna deal with in
part 2 of this kintsugi story as always
