    Sashimono

    I thought to post this up, I was commissioned to build a caddy for dorodango. I built it in a style which features removable piston fit sleeve style holders.

    Brian, love that fit...very nice. I’ll admit I had to look up dorodango. I’m going to have to give that a try next time I’m out playing in the garden mud.

    Thank you Phil! It is an interesting art, I believe the Myth Busters team made one a few seasons back

    Somebody is going to put mud balls in that!?

    Seriously, excellent work. Love the clean lines and perfect grain, as usual.

    Beautiful as usual and the soft elevator ride will be an asset. What's in the space in front and behind the caddies? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Thanks gents! The Dorodango are beautiful works, I only hope to have made something which displays them prominently and gives proper respect to the craft.

    Chris, the front area is only there to provide importance to the Dorodango, much like the margin around a painting or print.

    Brian, I have watched the video a few times now and it only gets more satisfying each time. I really enjoy all your humidor and box builds and images, clean and appealing. You could start an ASMR channel just from collecting piston fit footage!

    Thanks for sharing,

    Vince
