Lexus has made a 60,000 hour (7 year long) documentary of how to be a Lexus master craftsman/ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - a process which would take about 14 years in training and practice. It follows 4 craftsmen and their journey to become a master.

Amazon Prime has a 50 minute version available and I want to see it!

I think it’s much easier to just change your name to Takumi

Lol

I think they did it because human craftsmanship is dying. T hey don’t want it to be lost.

Yeah but even still, who’s gonna watch that? Literally nobody. It’s not even practical as a training course video series.

I guess they would be skipping a lot to pertinent parts of the job?

Just making the documentary must have been ridiculously hard.

However hard fanboys will wank over Lexus, Lexus will wank over itself tenfold.

Honestly it was prob easier. With the inflated runtime, less cuts, less editing....

Ergo, the need for more leather takumi.

I can’t see how the p erforated leather would  take to all that wanking.
