I worked on this video for 18 hours straight. Hopefully SOMEBODY finds it useful! Also, where do YOU see this new style being used?

[@jasonhoward4967]

I would like to do one of those red white and blue ones just as an art piece to hang. I made a towel rack with your style and it turned out amazing. Thanks for the tip of burning the other side to take the cupping out. I was struggling with that.

[@gingerhansen1902]

The timing on this video couldn't be better! I just tried my first piece on scrap cedar that my brother gave me last night and love how it came out! I've had my eye on this technique for finishishing picture frames and mixed media art pieces. I'm so excited to experiment with finishes that it was on my mind as I slept, I had even considered using old eye shadow!! These tips are great and it was shou sugi ban that brought me to your channel and you gave me the courage to give it a try! Thank you! 💖👍👍🔥

[@willswasteland]

I plan on making some boxes for Christmas and using the burn technique on them. This would probably be awesome on those.

[@JohnSmith_1331]

I don't know where I want to use it, but I think it looks amazingly cool. And I really appreciate the burn speed test and how it changes the texture.

[@brevs8387]

Picture frames and guitar bodies is what came to mind for me. Great info!

[@aldo9564]

Viewers that (Complain) about your content “taking too long”, “overthinking”, “go in to too much detail” are Clearly NOT your Target Audience. Let them just Move On ... The highest Value of your channel is how Thorough that you are with the Information Sharing. Many/Most viewers don’t (think) that much about things that they do, they just want to get it done. The viewers that are prone to critical thought, Learning, Sharing knowledge (like myself) Absolutely LOVE what you do. Keep up the FANTASTIC Work !

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Thank you very much for the kind words. You are right, and it's taken me a long time to figure that out. Or maybe at least to accept it.

[@tme9384]

Agreed!

[@TrashCanTravis93]

I just lost my job and decided to open a woodshop instead of struggling to find work during this time. I've been dabbling in wood working my whole life and I am so happy I finally took the leap. And this channel is the most useful I have found so far!!!! Thank you so much!

[@ladymay27]

With mica you should use a stencilling brush first, try it, it really is a smooth process.

[@SaucyTreasures]

Forget the people whining about too much time taken in explaining. DETAILS are how you learn a new technique. The complainers will be the ones who EFF up because of not knowing details. Thank you for the details!

[@mrrberger]

TIP: You can vary the char cube size with speed of burn. Several light passes to char then a heavy one gives larger cube finish or just a heavy one off pass gives small cubing. Fire fighters use this knowledge to determine arson claims, if the fire was started using an accelerant, small cubing at the ignition source and a cube line change on the accelerant edge. Thanks for sharing your efforts in detail, it means we can all take features to construct our own take. I use this technique mainly on handled implements, it's great fun.

[@mmclean4838]

Just watched a couple of your videos and one thought came to mind, more than once. It's a phrase from dog training: You get what you pay attention to. Ignore the detractors; they've got nothing better to do. Keep doing what you're doing. Your willingness to tackle the unknown is inspiring and your work is amazing.

[@mikefarquhar5063]

I agree, and was good to see someone else on point with that truth. Awesome! 🤙

[@joshdover8663]

Stay on your grid friend. People are too needed and extra these day. Thanks for educating us

[@muhamadridayatullah6272]

I apreciate you take this so seriously, quality vid content from serious research.. very useful 👍

[@mammalion4316]

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in what you said about the history of Shou Sugi Ban. It wasn't charred to be a cool looking treatment for interior designs and crafts. It was charred to the black cracking state and hung on the exterior of homes because it becomes a fire and insect resistant siding material in the charred state. The couch potatos out there are the ones who say, "You take too long." They just want to be entertained by someone and to them I say, "GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!" Those of us who actually plan to DO these projects APPRECIATE YOUR THOROUGHNESS because we are here to LEARN! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, KEEP DOING YOUR VIDEOS YOUR WAY!!

[@mykhelderian]

Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and for the large amount of work you put into this. It is obvious that you really care about conveying complete and accurate information. I'm grateful that there are knowledgable people like yourself that are so willing to share their knowledge. Many people appreciate you more than you can know.

[@luminol]

You should absolutely cont' to put in the minute details because there are people out here that truly appreciate the craft you are teaching us. I would've never known about this technique if not for your videos! I made an awesome table top for an Industrial C table my son made in School and I put the extra effort into the project and you do get out of things what you put into them. It'a all about the details!!! Keep up the great and detailed work sir!!

[@jasonhoward4967]

I guess there would be differences in the viewers. Those of us that plan on doing the work also love the details.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Good point. Thank you!

[@hannahd4680]

Agreed. I am annoyed at tutorials that skip over steps or don't mention details. I love these videos because he doesn't leave anything out.

[@chuckgrumble5440]

ya, if i do not plan on doing it, details are irrelevant, im gonna give this a shot as i already have wood and powders

[@johnnau1429]

Hey, I'm very green when it comes to wood working. I've watched a number of your videos now, and I have to say, thank you. Dont let the trolls bring you down. There are so many, as you know on social media. Dont let them drag you down. They are idiots. When you come to a negative comment, if it's not constructive, don't let it get you. Good stuff and Cheers

[@jenniferfarsh675]

Prefer the thoughtful approach over super fast ❤️

[@robinshane4661]

Anything worth doing right will gain the best results. I like the long, informational, route. I always do it right. Beauty takes effort.

[@joonyaboy]

HUGE RESPECT for the overview at the beginning. I wish ALL KZbin vids were like this.

[@thecreator1455]

take your time so we get it right thank you for all your time your'e awesome.

[@blairm3504]

Hey Jodi, I just find your channel and I really enjoy it. As a former custom furniture finisher I have to say I really like these series of videos. I enjoy all the detail you’re sharing because those details are invaluable to everyone who might want to start exploring this. Now as a mental health coach, I would encourage you to no concern yourself so much with the critics. We will always have them in our lives but there’s so much more freedom when we don’t let them influence us. Do you the way you want to do you. Those who value you and your content will continue to value you and your content.

[@cowtowndaddy]

When I was a little kid there was a house down the road that partially burn down. The people left a lot of stuff in there. Me and my buddies would go in there and hangout. lots of burned wood like that . Your video brings back fun memories man. 😎🚴

[@kenwardferganowski8008]

Okay, for real. I'm a woodworker and I have been messing around with all this stuff for as long as I can remember. Burning wood and other sorts of unique finish options are relatively new to me and I aspire to continue experimenting. That being said, I watch just about every capable woodworker on KZbin, and you are definitely in my top 10. I'm completely in love with the shou, all thanks to you. Don't let these negative comments from these negative losers bring any negativity into your workspace.. you've got it, whatever it is, you've got it. Also, this is probably the first time I've commented on anything in the internet and at least 10 years but I couldn't let it pass, having heard the dissension in your voice

[@nievesdereyes65]

You are the BEEEESSSSSSSTTT teaching this technique. Don’t change please the way you show the process

[@kellywilliams5112]

The beauty is in the details.. Personally, the details are what set apart the quality of the piece..

[@johnawhiting]

Love it all. Don't waist your time with Negative Viewers. Keep up the Good Work. The Neggies can go where the Sun Never Shines.

[@MakerCuisine]

Wow what an incredible technique, I love doing Shou sugi ban and I think this is a genius next step. And screw those people that are bitching that you put too much detail. I am definitely going to use this on my next project 😁 you rock man👍

[@v.j.cooper2007]

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMITMENT OF YOUR CRAFT. YOU HAVE DONE A THOROUGH AND VERY INFORMATIVE JOB INTO THE RESEARCH AND TECHNIQUE OF THIS TYPE OF WOODWORKING. GIFTED HANDS ONLY ARE ALLOWED TO EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF WOODWORK. YOUR HANDS ARE GIFTED! I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO US. CONTINUE YOUR GIFTED WORK FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE IT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!

[@yourtruckerfriend1584]

I can't get enuff content from your tutorials on Shou sugi! I stained a flatbed, sealed it, then discovered your ideas, so I grabbed some pine, random boards and started burning.then scrubbed and the wood was beautiful but too dark tone is way off, back to your channel..wow! So my project is not lost and just went up to the next level! Thank you so much for the indepth videos,in my opinion u can rant and go on and on and I'm thankful for every word! I want to support your channel and will soon with purchases. But I am also directing everyone who compliments my work to your channel!

[@janinehoffart5314]

I can't believe I haven't stumbled onto your channel until now but I'm so happy I have!!! You are awesome!!!

[@buster022173]

Thank you for the videos. You have given me inspiration. Being a demolition contractor I get a lot of reused timber and lumber…. Yard full of it. Your methods are turning my old lumber into something out of this world….. incredible. You are welcome to materials which I will donate to your cause. Let me know if you are ever on the chicago Northside. Btw…. Forget any negative comments you are doing something really special. 100.

[@MattJonesYT]

That looks FANTASTIC!!!!! The extra attention to detail making this video is incredibly helpful!!!!!!!!!

[@danhoy8356]

Perfect intro! To the point, then enough detail to appease my questions!

[@beatsmithaudio9245]

Don’t change a thing! Love the time, effort and attention to detail you put into your work. I’m going to attempt to get this kind of effect on the top of my next Stratocaster electric guitar build!

[@rubensalais1502]

Thanks for taking the time to explain you ideas, this video goes to the top of my favorite list.

[@Theilun]

I appreciate both the quick overview and the full time video! The combination is awesome and makes it all much easier to take in.

[@katlidstone3918]

This is a beautiful technique. Over-think becomes a Master.

[@Archangel77799]

Dude you're awesome THANK YOU my Brother for TAKING your time and doing it RIGHT and WELL the FIRST time. Love it. You set a good example for the Zen way of going about things. Like every part if it is a priviledge, and taking time to enjoy the process. This is the WAY my man. Keep going bro! Mahalo

[@dylanjames7465]

I fast-forwarded to 6:19, and thought you were taking a break from work and having a party 🎉. ❄️

[@mariaemilianegron]

I really do appreciate all your talent and the effort that you put in do this classes. I bless you because I have learned and practice the information that you have given to us take your time no one is forced to stay

[@JT-fl6kr]

I like the examples on the different types of wood and really like the results. Well done.

[@prybar27]

I love that you put so much detail in your explanation of the reaction of different wood to heat. Very helpful. I'm using pine and have been through a lot of videos. Yours are definitely my favorite.

[@kellykerr9063]

Jody...This is without a doubt the best video I have seen about finishing Shou Sugi Ban. I learned more from this video than in a dozen of others I have watched. Keep them coming!!!

[@namelesswarrior4760]

Those who mind, don't matter! Those who matter, don't mind! I appreciate your vids bro! Thanks

[@Derbaum2]

Awesome. And thanks for experimenting for us and all the Details!

[@ketotruckinggrandmama2676]

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your hard work and knowledge.

[@michaelmadison883]

I appreciate people like you that experiment for us and report back I think this is very cool work. Thank you.

I enjoy the thorough videos and all the tricks of the trade behind them. You’ve really helped me along my latest project. Thank you so much!

[@ContractorJohn]

Absolutely love your videos AND the detail you put into them. I am learning so much. Thank you for the effort.

[@leroycasterline1122]

Thank you. What you've done is flipping beautiful - I've never seen anything like this. Off to watch the others!

[@duanevanwinkle3488]

All good stuff...you do an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating the process and options. Thanks

[@sherristokes6473]

Love the shu shugi ban playlist. I am a novice woodworker and have learned so much. Also, I appreciate the details. I'd rather know what to do with various materials and tools and learn why it works for an authentic result than take a shortcut and wonder why I am disappointed. Thank you!

[@donaldcotnoir1865]

It's the details that make a project even better. If you take pride in what you do you can't over think it. I'm a new subscriber and I like your videos.

[@sandraisabel898]

We should thank you for the time you Invest on sharing and not complaining. Thank you so much from Portugal

[@shortwing]

Excellent demo! Super cool look.

[@richardwildeman1267]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this awesome info, ideas, experience, and especially for the inspiration! I am so pumped about doing a laminated guitar top like this, with the pistachio green mica powder that you used too. I think casting it in epoxy after for a smooth stable flat top may be the way to go for this. Ordering some cedar and mica powder now, and I'll have lots of experimenting to do over the holidays! Thanks so much again, I really appreciate it!!!

[@alexviscardi924]

I very much appreciate your attention to detail..... I am learning and trying your techniques

[@heathermorway4307]

I love the detail that you put into the videos. They are not really that long and I have a short attention span. I am absolutely captivated by the end product that I love how you explain how to get there. Thank you for being a real, down to earth guy. And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@sarahbolt6255]

Thank you for doing these videos. I've been very inspired by them.

[@AK-ic1yj]

Thank you for the fine detail description. This is an art, not a mass production. Much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work! :)

Thank you so much for another great, informative video. I love the techniques, & I am getting things set up now to begin my woodworking adventure. I'm sure I will be asking questions for your insight & experience. I love your commentary, too.

This is an excellent innovation. Great job!

I’m going to be building my first couple of side tables and I’m excited to try new things! Great videos man. More details the better.

[@haarpanoid]

Ignore the trolls, your channel is very helpful, and there are no shortcuts for a proper job. Shou Sugi Ban is not Yakisugi, one can read that clearly in your videos' titles so no one should get Lost or be mistaken. What you are doing is appreciated by Manu, do not let a couple of smartasses get to you. Cheers, m8!

[@francoiselandriault8164]

I totally love and appreciate all your videos. I learn so much plus they stimulate my creativity. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your expéreience.

[@jacobberukoff2755]

So glad I found your channel! honestly, one of the best Woodworking channels I've ever come across, love your vibe and thought process, feels perfect in-depth for me!! I gotta know why not to do things one way in order to motivate the extra work! Thankyou for doing the experiment work for us :)

[@Bob-ns4od]

I was just flipping threw the different stories, and topics, and your chanel caighy my eye. I found it very interesting, and have never heard about this technique. You presented it in a way anyone should understand, and I'm definitely going to try it on some of my projects in the future. So your getting a thumbs up, and a new subscriber.

[@SickNaban]

Thank you so much! Love your videos and super appreciate the content you put out! And this looks amazing. I really liked the red, white & blue piece you did. I'm going to experiment with it a little bit. I recently made one of the popular woodburning American flags and I think this texture on one of those would look awesome! Thanks again!

[@cjsway7323]

I used a large make-up brush to spread my mica powder! Worked really good!!

[@merralynvaillancourt6526]

Okay! Now my mind is spinning! Can’t wait to see what ideas viewers come up with for this! This could be the next fluid painting!

[@deefree9570]

I learned a LONG TIME ago that people that dog a person like you that takes the time to teach or share your knowledge, are the type of people you want to change the dang channel anyway !!!.. Or that would be what I would say !!. Not to mention it aint like u can't just fast-forward the vid...!!!.. Anyways.. I stumbled on your channel and have worked with wood for 35 plus years and NEVER seen that technique b4 !!!.. Freaking AWESOME MAN !!!.. IGNORE THE IDIOTS !!!... I guarantee they don't have the ballz to even try to make a video about anything !!!... Great Job and I am definitely subscribing !!!...

[@ClaytonHardee]

Not sure why this came up as a suggestion, but I’m glad it did! Really appreciate you taking the time, energy and effort in both the artistry as well as the filming. I’ve never done any Shou Sugi Ban/2.0 but your video makes clear that there is a tone of artistic expression to be had.

[@PaulMillette]

I love your videos, they are very well done, packed with very useful information. Keep on doing what you are doing. There will always someone who will criticize and think they know better than you. Let them go. You are someone who obviously knows what you are talking about. For my part, I’m learning tons!

[@StuartGeers]

You do what makes you happy. It comes across in the quality of your content and work!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Very true and thank you for the kind comment.

I subscribed for that quick intro. Thanks. I love you.

[@beal5666]

Jody, as with all your other videos and how to videos awesome job. I am most definitely going to try this type of finish for a couple project I have in mind. As you already know that you cannot please everyone so, you just keep doing what YOU think your topic needs in the way that YOU want to share and the hell with the others. Those of us that know you and like YOUR work will always be loyal! You rock!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Well said my friend and thank you!

[@chrisr9155]

Absolutely LOVE your channel! I caught one of your videos months ago and can't wait until I get some time to perfect the techniques you show. The content you provide is gold! The hell with those who bitch about the detail level. For those of use who want to learn and take your content serious... I say more detail the better. Not to mention all the effort and time you put into editing these videos. I want to thank you for the time and detail you put into all your videos. For the items I need or don't have...
