ISHITANI - Making a Floating Table 2.0

[@TheLaoruga]

That is definelly the most beatifull table I ever see.

[@qigongtime]

Agree

[@doompaskha4622]

I like that you always show that you still have time to play or go outside with the dog. We indeed don't have to be very serious, rather have time to play or look around us and just enjoy.

[@tha_fra]

As a fine art furniture conservator I can tell you that is so unusual to see so much care going into the making of a new piece of furniture.

[@PrinceSomorin]

His customers are lucky.

[@zachkiss8870]

It is nice to see good videos of someone building something with forethought and intent. I'm am really getting sick of watching mediocre project videos that conclude with the builder explaining what they would have done differently if they had thought more about it beforehand.

[@bjornmundt5801]

Traditionell and typical for Japan - minimalist design. Absolutely beautiful. Solid. Quality. And it will last very long.

[@KJS988]

Using a toothbrush to clean glue joints is a very good idea that I never thought off. Your videos and furniture are beautifully done. This has fast become one of my favorite channels on KZbin. Well done!

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Thank you :)

[@andrewaustin6941]

ditto! the same here

[@childrenoftheforest5146]

SAME FOR US

[@버디아님이글]

So nice idea!

I recently died a great friend of ours and painter, Kasue Hasimoto (Meera and Meera), who, as a child, and, seeing me work sticks, told me about Japanese carpenters, the story of how they worked was similar to a story about Magic ... your videos are as if they had made the movie of those stories, very beautiful ... and memories to Shiro, my dogs also sleep between the shavings A hug and thank you very much

[@chrish9506]

A very cool watch. I liked the large clamp/press. It is also nice to see someone that appreciates a good break by petting Shiro!

[@JrMedieval]

the assistant is the best in the whole Ishitani crew.

[@woodywoodwoodiii]

Nothing better than watching an artist work. Thank you

[@ripkenfan7186]

I would clean his shop just to watch and learn in person. Amazing work. Love it.

[@Flexpicker]

What a great method of table joinery! The floating top allows for the lateral movement of the wood in different temperatures and humidities. It should last for centuries.

[@tomthompson7400]

watching those cross pieces go in was fantastic , never seen anything just fit so well. pure work of art.

[@TheFiown]

This must be the most beautifully made and proportioned modern table I have yet seen !

[@UnableToSpeak92]

ISHITANI - I'm just getting started, been doing woodworking for about a year. You are such an inspiration. Thanks for posting your videos.

[@bfree247365]

Excellent! There is just something about watching two great artists working on their crafts (woodworking and videography) that gives me inspiration to do well at my own job. Throwing shots of the dog in there doesn't hurt either. :-).

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Thank you :)

[@phrangbamon7355]

Japanese craftsmanship is always beautiful and simple..

[@MikesStory1990]

Beautiful. Love your job. My father was also a carpenter for 30 years. However I never attended to a special carpenter school but I stole his ''job'' by seeing with my eyes and practicing alone that is a useful tool in my life.

[@chrysopylaedesign]

It still amazes me how we still use simple Hand Planners as we have for centuries (millennia?), which work perfectly, out of practicality bc many don't have access to the larger electric machine Planners needed for a large table top. It seems too obvious to even mention, but I find it reassuringly grounded in practicality.

[@トミーエマニュエル]

海外の人にしてはビスを使わなかったり カンナつかったりと丁寧な作業だなーと思い見てたらやはり日本人でしたね。 日本の誇りです！素晴らしい！ 単焦点レンズ的な画質も好きです！ 編集も最高です！応援してます！

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

ありがとうございます(^-^)

[@antonhandobin9731]

Your attention to detail is impressive. I admire the subtleties of working with wood.

[@stefanoricci1051]

Art, knowledge, Tradition, sense of beauty: is all here!

[@leonmorgan8361]

Отличный дизайн, великолепное дерево и первоклассное мастерство. Great design, gorgeous wood and excellent craftsmanship.

[@chrysopylaedesign]

There is clearly a common art/practicality shared w/ Shaker, Amish & Japanese furniture/woodworking/architecture. The philosophy/practice of simplicity, quality & respect of material is clearly expressed in all of them. Sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm looking at a Japanese, Shaker or Amish piece of woodworking.

[@jamesjohnmoss8130]

Fantistic work. Loved the closing music on this recording, although all,are great. Just keep uploading, as we all love what you are doing.

[@johngrace199]

Absolutely stunning...I enjoy watching your craftsmanship and the minimalist style of your videos. Working in the light music towards the end was perfect...another great job.

[@streamingtv6506]

Wow! Even the woodshop floor is gorgeous - true artist and craftsman. Beautiful videos.

[@bryankerner3678]

Been a carpenter for 30 plus years. If knowing how much you don't know is the definition of a master, then wow I don't know shit. Hee hee. Love watching you work.

[@whosewho47]

日曜大工程度の経験しかありませんが、本当に綺麗に作られてて見とれました。床掃除の掃除機？の仕掛けには驚きました。そんな方法があったなんて。

[@lionelhernandez34]

Beautiful table, craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite.

[@ronnakeil9848]

Just beautiful. The table is gorgeous and the filming is lovely.

[@Malusifer]

Love your method of attaching table tops with dovetails. Definitely going to try that myself.

[@AlexRapada-ft6tm]

I love how the manager comes in 5:30 to check on his progress.

[@theSoz]

The attention to detail is incredible!

[@ХанГасанов-й6ь]

Славно. Инструменты, навыки и умения, делают реальное искусство.

[@donhayashi3512]

Another wonderful piece of art beautifully photographed.The hard work and skill from both of you is inspirational. Arigato!

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Arigato :)

[@serkangul2567]

Thank you for these videos Ishitani Furniture. Nice and perfect

[@salemsilverback]

WOW!!! beats the hell out of the picnic table I made out of 2x6's this summer.

[@MTMF.london]

Master craftsman doing what he does best. Totally awesome.

[@natebrown5588]

ISHITANI, You are a great craftsman! Beautiful work!

[@minahn5324]

This video gives me a motivation being a furniture maker. Thanks for sharing.

[@subodhsharma6706]

Such a stunningly simple yet beautiful table.

[@sarawakstudio1111]

A piece of fine furniture in the making. Superb craftsmanship. Love to watch your workflow. Thanks for sharing.

[@eddieruhiman872]

ISHITANI = System, conceptual, technique, painstaking, detailing, calculation, mature, high artistic value, done with all my heart, surely Success, success always ISHATANI i from INDONESIA.

[@mambobond]

Wonderful, I would be honored to have that table in my dining room.

[@billy1368]

That is a very nice table. The craftsmanship is superb. I will be attempting something like this. I hope it comes out as beautiful as yours.

[@kpavery1]

I love KZbin. Thank you for sharing your skill and talent with the world.

[@alextannersaak3682]

Please post new videos! I would love to see current projects. You are a true artisan.

[@ionut5316]

The "tapered sliding dovetail joint" will prevent the top from warping while allowing the wood to expand and contract. This is an elegant alternative to the breadboard ends (which I do not like). This video inspired me and I exercised cutting this joint with hand tools only. I tried various saws to cut the recess: large crosscut tenon saw, ryoba saw and kataba saw. The kataba saw works the best, because the tooth line is convex, only few teeths engages at a time. This will allow me to do a precise crisp cut and use a beveled guide to help maintain a consistent angle. I used the 1:8 ratio, same as I use for dovetails in hard wood. I used a shoulder plane and a chisel to cut the male part of the joint. I do not have a dovetail plane. This is not an easy joint to make, but the hand tools allows me to cut it precisely. I master the technique and the joints always turns squeaky.

[@makevelib.4383]

Deine Möbel sind wirklich traumhaft, wünschte ich wäre auch so ein Tischler Profi mit so einer Ausstattung.

[@tjbrison]

Another really nice piece from your shop - fantastic - clean, elegant design supremely well made!

[@clintevashkevich]

You’re a joy to watch. Beautiful piece at the end. The attention to detail is amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing! Awesome video work too btw!

[@StewFairweather]

There's a simple beauty to this table that fascinates me. Perfect. Thank you for these videos Ishitani Furniture.

[@Ghost-fc3kc]

I just discovered your channel, this is masterpiece, greetings from north Africa.

[@MichaelFord]

Your work is inspiring. It makes me want to try to create such wonderful pieces myself. Thank you for sharing your techniques and art. There is such elegance in the simplicity. I love the clean lines.

[@toolsconsumables7055]

Utsukushi desu ne? I think this table is a work of art; your talent knows no end. What a pleasure to see such beauty being created. Kind regards.

[@alexanderpeters2688]

absolut dedication and supreme craftmanship. Thumbs up for the quality

[@alexandrearato]

Congratulations for the fine woodworking. And also for the video making and editing. As beautiful as your furniture. Perfect match.

[@alfastur6833]

I follow Mr Ishitani videos a long time ago and greatly admire his workmanship but only today I notice something about this video that has surprised me. As I see it the table top rests on a 'ladder-like' structure that is bolted to the legs. The table top is bolted to the rails, or the long parts of this 'ladder-like' structure. The shorts parts of this 'ladder' (the rungs) are joined with double biscuits to the long rails (8:01). The rungs at the end also get joined to the rails with a thick dowel that seems to be inserted passing through the biscuits (9:40). These rungs at the end of this 'ladder-like' are the ones bolted to the legs (11:27). This combination of biscuits and dowels between rails and rungs receive the weight of the table top and transmit it to the legs. I am surprised by this combination of wood fasteners and its use in a load joint. For full disclosure I can say that I am a just a hobbist, while Mr Ishitani is a proffesional woodworker, and very good one. So I am sure that, despite my surprise, the table is sound and strong. I wonder if I am missing another detail about this joint that I didn't notice.

[@GentlemanH]

Good quality wood and skilled workmanship is a pleasure to watch - thank you for compiling this video.

[@Erowens98]

Stunning work, as always. Nothing brightens up the day like ishtani

[@CinnamonBluegard]

I just watched almost all video from your channel, such nice projects. I am looking forward for more!

[@eduardopalma9594]

What an artist!! And the video is shows the beauty of it!

[@bunglebear85]

Can't stop watching. Beautifully made videos and furniture 🙌🏻

[@YummyPork]

I love the floating top design. I have been delaying building a dining table because I could not settle on a way to support a thinner top that would still be solid. Thanks for the inspiration. It's a beautiful table

[@charliespider7598]

My only question would be, "how solid is it"?

[@davidgendron1953]

Great video, I'm glad that the videos are back up!! Really nice woodworking, really nice filming/editing!! We need a shop tour video, talking about the different tools, like the super surfacer, and the combination table saw.... The different hand tools, and the finishes(oil, wax, varnish) It would be awesome!! Cheers

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Thank you :) He always has a lot of orders. I'm thinking of making a workshop tour when we have time.

[@tinoboy7841]

awesome table.. where are you guys at? Ive been to Japan and I wouldnt mind checking you guys out if I ever go back again hehe. Cheers and thanks for the great vids!

[@jlwade87]

You are legendary my friend. Your craft is second to none.

[@WCaiapo]

The table is so beautiful and see it being built, it was wonderful.

[@arjrpr11]

Amazing work, that is why our stuff in America is garbage because you don't see this level of detail. We are too commercial. I remember the furniture of my childhood was built like this and they lasted an eternity, now what we get is IKEA, excellent work, I want one of those tables for me

[@jaggiemccool7384]

I watched all your videos...and so far this is my favourite furniture piece...beautiful from every angle... we have a weekend wooden house in yamanashi-ken, so much pretty surroundings such as around your workshop... thank you for sharing such amazing craftsmenship...

[@rapalma38]

I am a big admirer of the art of wood in Japan, and i be very impressed for the excellent level of creativity and quality that do you have , congratulation and best regards from Argentina. Domo Arigato

[@MamaTeeHam]

His furnitures are just beautiful works of Math.

[@chrisbermingham3285]

Love your videos. Would love to see a shop tour and some of your hand tools, especially the planes. Thank you for the great videos!

[@xs732]

I don't like being a coder. This gives me joy. I should change careers.

[@dreamviewer]

I'm not a carpenter, but looking at the joint fitting nicely just pure satisfying
