ISHITANI - Making a Medicine Chest with lots of drawers

It was a request for remake of damaged old medicine chests.
Difficult thing was to put drawers of different sizes into one chest.
Normally, drawer sizes will be made later, but this time we used those old drawers as they are.
今回は古い薬箪笥のリメイクのご依頼でした。
二つの箪笥を一つにまとめます。
通常引き出しは後からサイズを合わせて作るのですが、今回は古い引き出しをそのまま残すので、異なるサイズの引き出しが上手く収まるように設計しなくてはなりません。
もう薬屋さんでは見かけない箪笥ですが、小さな引き出しが並んでいるのは壮観でかわいいです。また昔の薬のネーミングが秀逸です。

Ah, that was just the push I needed: I‘ve had a pharmacy chest sitting in the shed waiting for a restoration for over a year. As seven of the drawers are missing, I have been trying to find aged wood to reproduce the drawer fronts and not really working on the chest. After watching your video I‘ve been at it happily for the last few hours - thank you for the inspiration and the motivation

[@cazkiwinz4300]

So did you finish it?

[@tomd3540]

I love the marriage of old and new. One of my favourite pieces of yours, absolutely beautiful

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

The man just knows how to work smart. Confident in his process. So impressive.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I so agree!!

[@davidchapman7667]

Thank you! For add your peacefulness, precision, and simplicity to a world that so desperately needs it.

[@willxin4517]

I love watching these KZbin videos Saturday morning as I sit at my bench drinking my first coffee, getting ready. This is stunningly beautiful, the craftsmanship, the design idea, and the quality of the video. No unnecessary load music, or commentary. I have a project for a drawer till for my bench and I gotta few construction ideas from this posting. Thank you.

[@HandToolRescue]

This is perfect.

[@AstralJokers]

X Hypno I guess I win then?

[@tjbrison]

Fantastic work. I'm always amazed at how many folk think that some tool or other does the work. Tools don't make the work - the woodworker does - and in this case, Natsuki really knows what he's doing. As always, it's a real pleasure to watch you working, especially in what must rank as one of the all time best woodwork shops ever!

[@bryangittings4197]

Your videos are always so peaceful I can watch hours of your woodworking

[@Nailey13]

I can't tell you the amount of satisfaction I felt when he placed all of those drawers in the shelves at the end.

[@rickyrollerv2]

Some, take lunch breaks, some take a nap break. I take Ishitani breaks... your videos are like asmr. I'm watching your videos two times. The first one, carefully watching and admiring the craftsmanship and the second, just listening the process. Thank you.

[@bruceabe3139]

the reverence you display toward that project is truly touching. Bringing back to life a tremendous original piece turning it into functional furniture.

[@BischBaschBosch]

A lot of work went into that. I love the old drawers contrasting the new cabinet chest. Beautiful.

[@clydedecker765]

Patience, attention to detail, perfection. Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for your contribution to beauty in the craft.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

What a beautiful way to reuse the old drawers. A wonderful piece!!

[@MrOso36]

Nice new cabinet. I love the marriage of the old and new. I do have to admit though that cutting those small miters made me wince.

[@normanbott]

Beautiful workmanship as always. The original drawers in the new carcass are just perfect.

[@paulcaton7093]

Love the way the old drawers slide smoothly into the new spaces; what a great piece of work.

[@porkdemon]

Absolutely stunning. Its so satisfying watching all those old drawers slide into their nice new homes.

[@jekku4688]

Unbelievable. Thank you for keeping this kind of talent and artistry alive.

[@argeancomics3291]

Chie has a rare talent as a videomaker. Perfect choices of images and sound. So nice to watch.

[@guillermohohn9167]

Another beautiful piece of yours. I loved the blend of the old drawers and the new chest.

[@pd417]

Beautiful. The old and new seamlessly came together.

[@kaik.5543]

In my mind its awesome to see Ishitani do "his thing" with the wood :) But the editing and cutting are awesome aswell, love to see him plaining the surface as concentrated as thinking about the right measurements. The slow and peaceful music is on point and all the Videos are Masterpieces just like they are :)

[@ehRalph]

Been away for a while. Infrastructure repairs it seems, they always get in the way of art. But then, it’s not really about me, is it. Your videos are as good as they get. And I’m switching back to Ishitani so I can catch up. Relaxing, intelligent, peaceful, self explanatory projects -artfully produced. Thank you

[@stoutlager6325]

This turned out lovely. Thankfully you weren't tasked with building all new drawers. So much work.

[@aam50]

Beautiful work as always. I smile when one of your videos is published because I know we are in for a treat. And I love the way you kept the original drawers - inspired.

[@marcomolo]

One of your most satisfying projects to watch. So many drawers.. mesmerising. Thank you

[@saveriostolfa6619]

Natsuki è un vero artista....è bellissimo vederlo lavorare.. Un abbraccio dall'Italia 😉

[@Syrkyth]

That end result looks amazing. The colour contrast between the old and new elements is very striking.

[@ham-cn5yf]

とても素敵な仕事

[@peterroos8135]

What a beautiful combination of the older piece and your remaking of the cabinet for all of those drawers. Your woodcraft and artistry are amazing!! I’m really enjoying your KZbin videos:)

[@b7fLuid]

I am always amazed at what I can learn from watching skilled people. The chamfering of the tenons together (8:21) is really subtle and practiced. He uses the plane bottom to line up the the tenons square so that he can do both edges at once. I'm adding it to my book of skills to work on.

[@luminariel3765]

You saved the beautiful drawers and created a gorgeous heirloom. So pretty

[@mgmoody42]

It was nice to reuse the existing drawers.

[@SkipThorp]

such a gorgeous mix of old and new. amazing work.

[@adrcamacho1]

Impeccable work. Absolutely gorgeous. But my favorite is still the shop pup!!!

[@MFPick]

Wonderful woodwork, wonderful video, wonderful music, and cute dog!

[@davethesamuraichef5205]

Most excellent craftsmanship on such a difficult project.

[@VladDonkov]

It feels like a privilege to be able to watch your process of work, what an amazing attention to detail and craftsmanship. Thanks!

[@garyknight8616]

Stunning. As always. Thank you.

[@snowman1722]

Interesting, not remaking the drawers. Beautiful project. Very inspiring.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Beautiful work friend! Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP

[@vaos]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[@blainerueckwald]

It’s a testament to the original builder that the drawers are still square and straight to be reused.

[@bfrogier]

You are da man Ishi!!!

[@skylarb.3363]

Stunning workmanship

[@NicoSmets]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@JTWoodworks]

This is a great combination of rustic and modern. Nice work as always

[@DissentingPotato]

Seriously, absolutely enjoy watching all of your videos so far. I really liked how you used the old drawers and just repaired them.

[@danpryde5503]

Just beautiful! 👌

[@barkebaat]

Excellent !

[@th34lch3m1st]

If you carefully watch Ishitani videos you automatically become a better woodworker even if you don't touch wood from months. This videos are perfectly edited and you can guess where those pieces goes and why he made them that way. Plywood for the internal shelves where you cant (or its not the best solution) do a frame with solid wood, recessed low guides to hold the drawers, lock the front grid and save extra wood and extra weight and so on. Every video it's a condensed lesson of several tecniques. Thanks for sharing.

[@dkbuilds]

What a wonderful recreation. Another great video!

[@jraglob5924]

Another beautiful piece, I truly enjoy your videos and find them very peaceful. Thank you.

[@kjellski]

Such a beautiful video again... thank you so much for the both of you. I love the relaxation watching your videos is making me feel. It's just a bit like meditation on a saturday morning, with a nice coffee and all that! :)

[@SeareanMoon]

It is always a pleasure to watch your videos

[@outlandishprofessor]

Beautiful!

[@philnsogood]

I love the way tbe beautiful editing matches the beautiful woodworking.

[@davidlamberson5435]

Beautiful workmanship.

[@airwolf61970]

This has got to be one of my favorites. Useing the old drawers in the new cabinet.....simply brilliant. And it contrasts perfectly....

[@daganael]

glad to see you sometimes use plywood and nailgun. makes you more human :D great work as always !

[@spencereagle1118]

Wonderful.

[@dpfunk78]

Just beautiful work. Great, great stuff.

[@accessfm]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship.

[@EveryDadDIY]

[@otagui1]

WOW! Wonderful

[@LCavendish]

As always a beautiful craftsmanship

[@RobLlewellyn1]

Beautiful piece, as always!

[@matthewcalder4351]

You are a very talented individual and it is such a pleasure to watch someone with an extremely high skill set., top marks to both of you of putting a great video together got to admire you both well done.

[@mururoa7024]

Every Ishitani video is a master class. I learn something every time. Thank you so much for sharing. Domo arigato gozaimashita.

[@darrenkavapalu715]

Absolutely beautiful! Bravo!

[@andymckenzie8031]

You do beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.

[@gaffyh1745]

Stunning

[@halbritt]

Given the difficulty, I'm impressed that like everything else I've seen here, the raw beauty of the wood was made to shine.

[@crayolavanilla548]

Stunningly beautiful piece of work!

[@wardwillems09]

Love the relative small furniture pieces Ishitani makes. They will find a place in every home, anywhere you live or will live for many many years to come.. I only wonder why he doesn't oil the interier sides of the pieces before assembling. It could make it easer finishing with oil, not having to deal with all the inside corners... Excellent job anyway;)

[@bjornmundt5801]

Once again a masterpiece. I love to watch his way he concentrates on his work. Like a great philosopher. I wish, there would be more people purchasing such 1. high quality 2. long lasting 3. healthy = natural materials like wood products.

[@danieljonespt2876]

That was amazing. I felt emotional during the final part.

[@garfstiglz3981]

Beautiful work as always.

[@pubboo]

The best looking table saw.

[@edadpops1709]

Wonderful project thankyou

[@RedNeckBiker109]

This has to be my favorite yet...amazing work!

[@bacondreamer]

This is probably my favorite build of yours to date.

[@joedillon6000]

Fantastic job

[@javierpo4321]

Fantastic. It's amazing

[@HypoliteMaindron]

I love the sharpness of your planer. I mean, who needs a zen-master, if you can watch video’s of Ishitani.

[@johnwalsh6844]

Beautiful. Love your work. Makes me work better.

[@lucaskuebler2247]

Stunning work as usual!

[@allent555]

Amazing craftsmanship!! A true artisan

[@tomalcolm]

This is so fantastic. I assumed that this was a client contract. And I expected that you would remake the box drawers. But it looks like this is a personal piece of furniture and that you are reusing the original drawers. So good!

[@arielphf]

Lovely work, again. Your videos are soothing and inspiring, they give me a patient vibe when working on my own projects. That helps a lot. Thank you.

[@dominguezprado7842]

Excellent work! Congratulations
