The Shinai Primer
Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 7:30PM 
Visit a working kendo shop in Japan where a craftsman shows the process of assembling a new shinai in detail. This video is extremely useful as a reference in deconstructing a shinai for repair, such as replacing a stave. It is also interesting to observe someone who has been a craftsman for many years in this field. Complete with English translation. Run time 19:28.
