Old man constantly reaching into the bandsaw, keeping BARELY clear of the table router, flipping that kiridashi knife around like nothing and has no new cuts/scars. That's a lifetime of learning (or not I guess by the same token).

Oh man, that guy at the band saw @04:20 😱

edit: after watching the entire video; I don’t know how to play Go, but I would buy one of those a pieces just for the amount of work they put in each. Seems like more hours went into the legs than the top itself.

A post-it note can hold the rules of the game of Go, but it's extremely hard to master. It's a beautiful game. The hardest thing is to find partners to play with.

Just play AlphaGo.
