The amazing woodworking collection of Zhuhai, China

Try to imagine yourself, as a hobbyist woodworker, being invited to a private tour accompanied by an Chinese government representative, in what appears to be the biggest, most expensive and most amazing woodworking collection. how big? 20 thousand square meters, which is about 200,000 square feet, equivalent to the size of an Walmart superstore. also, this collection is private, and therefor closed to the public. we were the only visitors at this giant warehouse.
I have so much to say about this amazing experience i had, but i think i said most of it in this following video. Looking forward for any relevant comment or question. enjoy.

I watched that on YouTube last night. Very interesting. I kept wondering where they got those huge logs from! You don't see logs like that anymore. And I also wondered who paid for these carvings. they must have taken years!!!

One note: When I went to make my sets of wood carving tools (http://lumberjocks.com/Planeman40/projects) and bought my black rough hand-forged Chinese made irons made by the best blacksmith in the city of Donyang which has been one of the major centers of wood carving in China since the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907AD), I was thinking of these famous old Chinese wood carvers. Many here at Lumberjocks are suspect of things made in China, but I knew better!
