Kobeomsuk is a legend. One of the best woodworking channels on KZbin.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

I 100% agree :-)

[@hartman601]

Definitely my favorite along with ishitani and squarerule. If there are others please let me know.

[@pawekowalik7826]

Along with Pedulla Studio and Ishitani woodworking these are the best wood processing chanels on youtube

I like Kobeomsuk process, tool selection and Furniture. It look like everything is going well for Kobeomsuk. I earned a Furniture Design Scholarship at Rhode Island School of Design in 2013 and I been on the journey ever since until today. Since my admissions my whole life turned for the worse. I lost my design and technical graphics career, house, family, friends and everything I own into homelessness. All because I wanted to design furniture and wood working. If you want to make furniture you have to keep an open mind to support yourself, relocation and new friends that don’t doubt you. Producer as much furniture as you can and avoid doubters at all cost. In 2019 I finally got into the Furniture Design industry yet I only lasted two days. It’s been rough but this is my passion. Fast forward today and I finally have my own shop. Still it’s not easy yet I’m getting there very slowly. Thanks for the inspiration.

What an incredibly thoughtful 7:14 video. Thank you, Clara and D ❤

[@ClarasWoodshop]

And thank you for appreciating it!! 😁😁

[@kobeomsukfurniture5420]

Really, thanks for making this video 😊

[@ClarasWoodshop]

It was my honor 😊

[@Django-KaiStudio]

Kobeomsuk's work is really inspirational, great video giving us a peak behind the curtain.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

I 100% agree - Kobeomsuk’s work and both he and his wife as people too! Thank you for appreciating this! :-)

A strong plan could have been drawn up in one night or over a course of several years, but the road is dotted with unseen obstacles even for the well thought out plan. It can be burn out, hitting a wall, lose your mojo too many unseens. Picaso said "the difference between a mediocre artist and a great artist is a great artist always stills" So that is a complement to Kobeomsuk that people are stealing his work. Thanks for Sharing Clara and have a great trip, slow down and immerse yourself in the culture.

[@mugofglop]

This was great! Came for the woodworking and design; stayed for the documentaries.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you for appreciating them!! We put a lot of work into them so it makes my partner and I super happy to hear!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. Super writing. Finally hear how to pronounce Kobemsuk...although I couldn't repeat it. Thanks for sharing! : )

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Hahaha, thank you for appreciating this video! Don’t worry, with practice we can get the name down! 😁😁😁

[@sktruesdale]

Clara, awesome video. I've been a fan of his channel and design for years now. Glad you can show the other side of his journey.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you so much! I’m glad that you appreciated this video! :-)

[@philipperuelle1972]

Merci je le suis depuis deux ans, merci de nous avoir montré son atelier et partage son idéologie. Bonne journée 🇧🇪

[@ClarasWoodshop]

I’m so happy to share his story and glad that you enjoyed it!! 😁🙌

[@johnmclain6535]

I don't know how you pulled off this interview but it was fascinating! Congratulations and thank you from all of yours and his fans 😊

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you so much for appreciating this video! He was kind enough to accept my asking for an interview and I’m very grateful for it :-)

[@johnmclain6535]

@ClarasWoodshop and OMG his daughter is ADORABLE 😍 ❤️

[@rogergarcia3021]

Nice interview, I can see your respect for him. Keep on keeping on.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@DonebyLeo]

Just found your channel and I am inspired by the way you describe the woodworking journey. I’ve never heard of Kobeomsuk before, and now that you presented his work with such wonderful story telling, I pumped to check out his work. Thank you for sharing the art you make! 🙌🏽

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Ahhh, thank you so much! I do my best and my partner helps me A LOT with everything! Really appreciate your comment and it inspires us to work even harder :-)

[@markhayes9004]

Thank you for making this video, Clara, it was awesome! I have been a fan of Kobeomsuk's art for a while now, so it was really nice to see a little more behind the scenes. Please take care and have a wonderful week. I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you, Mark! I’m so happy that you appreciated this! It was just as exciting for me to learn :-)

[@jimcarroll1005]

Thank you for the insight into Kobeomsuk

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you for appreciating it :-)

[@mattelias721]

What an honor to be gifted with an artist of his caliber's time! I've watched Kobeomsuk for a few years now, am a subscriber, and almost never fail to pick up a great technique by watching his content. I would recommend you meet up with the Squarerule Furniture guy as well on one of your trips to Korea. He does a lot more power tool work, but makes excellent pieces. He's likely a wealth of knowledge on how to run a furniture business.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you so much for appreciating all of this! I also felt the same when he agreed to an interview!! I may not have time this year for Square Rule but will definitely reach out maybe in the year afterwards! 😁😁

[@Craftlngo]

Another great woodworking channel on KZbin I learn to know thanks to you!

[@ClarasWoodshop]

I’m glad that you appreciate it!!! 😁🙌

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I have been following this young man's work, so I was thrilled to see you went and saw him. I am only assuming that your heritage is Korea-American and hence the travels to South Korea?? There are three schools of woodworking that I have always loved and that is the American born craft of woodworking, Japanese, and Korean. Especially the joinery of the last two. I had always wanted to go to Japan to study under a master woodworker, or at the very least go to one of their woodworking schools. There's a reason some of their ancient building are still standing, over a thousand years old. And The Korean method of joinery and installing floors with out fasteners has always fascinated me. Of course we cant forget their brilliant heated floors centuries before the West. Okay, don't even get me started on both countries yummy foods!! That would have been a separate trip all together, lol. Unfortunately, as I have aged, so has my stomach and I can no longer enjoy the heat of some of my favorite Korean dishes. Now I have had to "Americanize" them and remove most of the heat. Now I'm off topic. I'm enjoying these "TRIPS" of yours to Korea, and can Vaca vicariously through you and your partner.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

First and foremost, thank you so much for your thought-out message ^_^ These take me longer to get back to because I love to try and take my time to respond. I am Korean-American! Born in the USA but grew up in Korea and came back to the USA during my college years. And YES YES YES to the Korean heated floors! I was very shocked to not see them at all in the USA, I would've thought everywhere would've implemented it lol. And no worries on the spiciness. I'm Korean and have almost zero tolerance on spicy foods, lol.

[@crashkg]

His work is incredible. Thank you for this video.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you for appreciating it!!! 😁🙌

[@bjsmithart]

I’m a huge fan of his work. I’ll admit the dining table I just built for my home was inspired by his work. It was the first table I ever built and he inspired me to do it myself.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

That’s so awesome! He’s such an inspiration and super cool to hear that he’s inspired your work as well! Love the woodworking community :-)

[@GeeksWoodShop]

Love these insights, thank you, what a great story

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you for appreciating it!!!

[@shadeTreeWorks]

You did very well on this. His builds are legendary and it was cool to see a kind of behind the camera of it. Thank you.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Thank you for appreciating it!! This was such a special experience for me too.

[@PeterSmith-rc9ve]

Thanks for this Clara Great video I love his stuff 😊

[@ClarasWoodshop]

You’re welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!! :-) Kobeomsuk is awesome!

[@user-ce7on9ts9t]

The only important thing in life is to do what you love and when the goal is achieved and you go to work with a smile, you have won and all this brightens up our life and those around you, this has been the journey of my life, I managed to achieve my dreams and even if it was sometimes difficult, I regret nothing and that is what I instilled in my children, to realize your dreams and your passion and to work every day with a smile thinking that life can be beautiful.

[@ClarasWoodshop]

Love this - thank you for sharing :-)
