ISHITANI - Making a Solid Wood Small Shelf

[@miokti]

It’s a very good day when Ishitani drops a video.

[@jeffforbes3772]

Amen to that

[@jrbarron11]

Therapeutic

[@auburnpilk4736]

Agreed.

[@Weshopwizard]

I swear. This entire shop looks like heaven.

[@mm9773]

It’s a dream. The whole building is just nice, the dust collection in the floor is very clever and the machines are awesome - but there’s another aspect that makes it so beautiful: taste. Check out the colour palette: all wood, green and shades of grey, very few bright, garish colours, and very few logos and brand names. That’s deliberate, and it really makes a difference. Most people’s shops look like a clown has exploded in there. It’s something that can be replicated in a small hobby shop: I very much prefer tools in muted colours or with wooden handles etc., and it works: it makes for a quieter, nicer environment.

[@Weshopwizard]

@@mm9773 exactly. Very chill environment for making beautiful things.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Ahh, a new Ishitani video, all is still right with the world, thank you Natsuki.

[@leelucas1911]

I agree

[@erodkid]

So happy we still got to see Shiro at the end 🐶

[@ralphrohr]

With all the hectic and madness around me These videos are the therapy that keeps me connected to the real World...

[@davidwoo8920]

So glad to turn on youtube and see an ishitani furniture video.

[@marcdecockbuning1520]

Shiro looks happy at home warm, doesn’t want to be in the cold workshop!

[@Panchosoto]

こんにちは。。動画を再アップロードしていただきありがとうございます...😁 チリ🇨🇱からのご挨拶

[@jaheak]

It's amazing how, without speaking a word, I can completely transport to the Ishitani shop watching these videos. I can almost smell the stove and all the cedar. いつもありがとうございます

[@adamjones3177]

I just spent 23 minutes watching him make a small box and loved every second of it

[@АндрейНикитенко-ф4с]

Warm climate, warm winter and the workshop is not heated. But you have to wear warm clothes. In Russia, the workshop would definitely turn on the heating and heat it up to 25C, because there is a heating system and the fuel is so cheap. As always, impeccably done work, I am in awe. I really enjoyed watching your work, thank you.

[@jeffforbes3772]

I went ahead and hit like 'cause I knew I would. Now I'll watch.

[@rupert5390]

Mr Ishitani, I believe the majority of your devoted followers are English speaking and we love your work - we are all obsessed with equipment and machines - you have to do a workshop tour video explaining your amazing quality Japanese machines - do it in Japanese all of us can use subtitles - cheers.

[@WillLeingang]

Man - beginning to end. Well done! Enjoyed it and the end product. You gotta be the most transparent woodworker on KZbin ❤

[@JaredCzaia]

One small shelf for ishitani, one giant video for mankind

[@jerryjohns7358]

If I were wealthy, I would hire him to make every stick of furniture for my house and then come over and install it. Sort of a Frank Lloyd Ishitani style. ❤

[@hamiltobiermann2333]

Wonderful job. I was going to ask you about your "little friend" but i saw him at the end of the video!

[@SpaceWhaIe]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Not only for the fantastic woodworking, but the editing is great too.

[@stephenhancock509]

I was worried there for a while… thank you for the Shiro moment! Thankful we still have `em with us.

[@JonDunnmusician]

The ART of simplicity Missed Shiro

[@rosemarshall1219]

Fantastic work. At the end i was a bit disappointed to have not seen Shiro and at the last second, here he is😄

[@tigacub]

Great. To see another video

[@tachi98lep]

Small projects, but big work all the same. Can never have enough clamps in a woodwork area! Beautifully made video.

[@rogercharlie]

That's a shelf for generations. He is an artist

[@GabeWeymouth]

Thanks for the parting shot of Shiro... can't have a video without him. ;-)

[@AndyBadalamenti]

This gentleman is a true craftsman - he takes such care and precision in his work. I find it inspiring.

[@tickfarmwoodworks]

As miokti says, a new Ishitani video makes for a good day.

[@juanoctaviomanriquezrodrig4166]

Thank you Mr. Ishitani, another master class. Mrs. Chie and quality inspector Shiro, great team. Greetings from México.. 🍓🍓

[@michaelhockus8208]

not often that we see you bust out the dado sled. lovely video, thanks for sharing. yea, now I am going to deep clean the dusty shop first thing tomorrow morning... feeling inspired as always.

[@Maderasdesign]

Always a treat when your videos show up on my feed. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these videos! Much love from Chicago!

[@michaelburton4521]

So much care and attention even on a "simple" piece.

[@jiiwoodworking]

You've done it again Ishitani crew! Natsuki, It's a wonder how you can design something so simple and show us all of its complexities. At the same time, Chie, youve allowed us to see something so chaotic in its beginnings stages turn into something elegant, serene and calming. However, it is always Shiro who outshines you both LOL! Peace and love from California!

[@DominikRicker]

All you need is some quality wood, a simple, but effective design (including joinery) and et voila: A piece of furniture everybody likes. Well done Natsuki and Chie. Best greetings from a German carpenter

[@paulfowler3416]

Elegant “zen” craftspersonship, no irritating braggadocio, a joy to watch and educational.

[@brianjenkins8493]

I've just come across this chap, and after being a HUGE fan of Norm Abram (The New Yankee Workshop) thought I'd give it a watch. Well, all I can say is I'm hooked on this channel. This guy is incredible, the expertise shown is staggering!! Amazing attention to detail. Ishitani and Norm Abram..The Avengers of workworking!!

[@charlie-charles]

Journey with peace and pleasure to artists mind and soul 👏

[@BabaG]

Ah, it is like Spring is here. When Maestro does something it showcases to the world at large that mediocrity can't & shouldn't be celebrated. Someone once said "hope is for the underprivileged", I sure do hope people watch Seńor Ishitani and absorb an iota of his work ethic and the desire to consistently want to pay attention to detail. Thank you for yet another episode of elegance and design made to look simple.

[@REFRESHH]

instant like when an Ishitani video is popping up

[@jamesjohnmoss8130]

OMG, I am so glad you are back, been watching new Yankee work shop, Ugg. Please spare me from this and make real stuff. Just pleased that you are still here, and I hope safe

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

Beautiful little shelf that I would love to have hanging in my house! Ganbette ne!

[@MintStiles]

Simple beauty. Japanese precision at it's best.

[@thomlipiczky9021]

Very nice, as always. I like the ship-lapped back and the way you installed that after the box was glued together. Arigato!

[@kenc2257]

What a lovely shadow box. The details are meticulous. [happy to see Shiro at the end--hope he is doing well in the cold weather]

[@stanleychan2367]

Look at the workshop outside. Well arrange Timber for seasoning. Well maintained machines. And a good environment person, waste Timbers for keeping warmth. A very skilful person. Like watching produce Furniture.

[@arth.4196]

This is just not a small wooden box. It's a Craftsman paying attention to detail on a small piece of art.

[@mdhebert]

So nice to see Shiro make an appearance just at the end. Lovely work on the shelf, too. :)

[@abiraffawoodwork]

Simple but very impressive 👍👍

[@ignatiusj.reilly4576]

This wood is poetry

[@herbertbaumann2107]

Starting my day, watching an Ishitani video is one of my favorite things. The quiet craftsmanship is so inspiring. Thank you!

[@skirtedgalleons]

Wow, the gorgeous use of the grain even on the back pieces. I love your work!

[@alexotto2683]

Irgendwann spricht er schon zu uns, der Tag wird kommen :)

[@michaelkaye4998]

True mastery. But to me the crème de la crème is the back! That level of precision is just unbelievable. Thanks for this video. And inspiring me to get into my very cold garage and get to work.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

A beautiful piece as always.

[@robertshaw5387]

I always enjoy your videos. I can't wait for the next one. domo arigato gozaimashita

[@terrytopliss9506]

I’m always happy when you put a video out Ishitani, I love to see you working in your shop producing fine furniture. We have not had much snow here in the UK. Thank you for the video.👍👍👍

[@bomlaca]

Your product is very meticulous and has great precision, looking forward to learning more from you, wishing you more success.

[@sissiswantono3995]

Akhirnya, setelah sekian lama menanti. Terima kasih atas videonya. Salam sehat.

That surface planer is something I would love to have.

So simple yet so elegant - awesome work

[@LeavirtuS]

It came out beautiful, I love it

[@wagneralencar]

I love watching Ishitani's videos, as simple as it is. Always relaxing and inspiring. A hug from Brazil.

[@JoshuaDStewart]

Always love to see your work

[@SP-ki5gn]

Supreme skills, machinery that costs more than my house, but... a cold workshop, we've got something in common! Wonderful video, keep up the good work.

[@PushMaxOn]

Самый умиротворяющий канал из всех, что я видел. Всё идеально!

[@JasonPolkovitz]

Thanks for including Shiro at the end… I was getting worried.

[@bjnbna6795]

[@moisesluna3624]

Ensambles perfectos. Lamentablemente la gente no está dispuesta a pagar este tipo de trabajo. Pero es un trabajo excelente para uso propio. Gracias.

[@ralphhorne6063]

美しく、とてもよく作られた作品

[@perryingto]

Once again beautiful craftsmanship

[@andreasapora865]

Un piacere vedere un tuo video.... complimenti sei veramente bravo...

Ciao hai creato un capolavoro di minimalismo complimenti!!!come ogni tua realizzazione.

[@KeyserSoseRulz]

That will last 600 years and serve 7 generations of Ishitanis.

[@peterkemp1973]

Simple yet very elegant!

[@gavjav1]

Love them little clamps @12.45 Top video and lovely build as usual 😎

[@bertv1205]

It looks like it has been really cold in your shop. Arrigato for keeping up!

[@mehrdadsamavati810]

Awesome work as always

[@WillDogJones1]

Nice! I hope you get a project soon with lathe work. Lol I love the lathe. Great video

[@onehandedmaker]

Greeting from Australia Ishitani. So good to see another video. Always loved your style and work, oh and Shiro. Hot and sunny in the south and the snow made me smile. Keep making, videoing and uploading. Regards James One Handed Maker

[@mitchellbell713]

Beautiful

[@dsinclairTUBE]

I was watching for Shiro - Glad he is well.

[@viscache1]

Always a pleasure to watch. I restore furniture but have been experimenting with some of your styles and really enjoy the way they come together. But I’ve been restoring 16th-18thC furniture so long that I use joinery instead of hardware and only the glue that I make myself. Thanks for helping me improve my work!

[@ador.portik]

missed the inspector, the back panels are lose, wuff. was gorgeous to see great basics, thank you.
