I have no idea of how to copy/paste a link to Utube videos from my iPhone, but I finally found this after searching Facebook-instagram- and finally X.  Now I find it can be googled as part of a larger series many if you probably know about- "The beauty of Japanese swords: A new age of sword fittings". It's about the creation of a superb kozuka by engraver/watchmaker Kei Tsujimoto. It's for sale, but costs materials as well as 6 months labor!

So far, at least another kozuka and a set of matching menuki. Brilliant work, better than Ichigo or Ishiguro and without the team those masters had behind them. Certainly modern equipment helps but it's still incredibly meticulous.
