This craftsman is very, very good. Painstaking & precise ,with elegant results...one of the best at his craft.

[@Shep01]

When I think I see a imperfection in your work it's always been a dirty spot on my phone's screen. Very nice job, flawless.

[@rgonz63ful]

Brother, as always, you have taken craftsmanship to a level very few are capable of. Precision, execution and final product at its highest order. Love your shop, your furry little friend and camera work as always. Thank you for sharing!!

[@kevinf3641]

Awesome build. Glad to see you’re back.

[@tubule22857]

お久しぶりです。 清潔な工房での精緻極まる細工、まるで木材と対話をしているようです。 最終的に出来上がるシンプルで無駄のないデザインの家具の数々。素晴らしい。 いつもたのしみにしています。

[@johnnydingo8680]

Very nice and I see the quality inspector was there at the end to show his approval.

[@wheels2757]

When I looked up the word “craftsmanship” in the dictionary the definition was a link to this video. Beautiful work as always.

[@karlgarnett7445]

Recomendation you should do a book with photos of your projects and in the back a few simple woodworking prejects for your fans to try there hand at.. your craftmanship is great.

[@shaneherman8906]

You are a true craftsman Sir. You care about the craft you love, that shows. Please find someone who is patient, willing to listen, learn, and pass on your knowledge and experience. Very few these days appreciate the craftsmanship a master like you puts into a piece. I look forward to your next project Sir.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Ah, hello again. A new Ishitani video, happy days.

[@tomowens2720]

Simple and elegant. You work the wood with a spiritual and gentle touch. It gives me great energy watching you work for my own projects.

[@richthomas5013]

Always such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.

Always worth the wait!! Beautiful craftsmanship as usual...

[@Cmdtheartist]

The second I got notified...boom. Here.

[@maierhof]

Great to see you and your wife are producing content again! The last three videos have been just beautiful: musically, asthetically and of course content-wise as usual. They are such a pleasure to watch for me, as they calm me in this turbulent world. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for continuing your channel and not stopping once your new family member was born. What glue are you using to attach the paper to the wood?

@@Felix9lives Your work is outstanding! The joints look perfect. It's so refreshing to see the minimalism and the attention to the little wooden stove and pile of wood outside.

Very beautiful. Everything you build brings a sense of beauty and peace--things you can't buy in a store. あなたの手に健康を。

[@drskelebone]

For all this work, I'm surprised there's not more unhappiness when cats jump through them.

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

This is the first time I've ever seen wood of that quality - very glad it made it into your hands! Thank you again for sharing your videos :) hope you're all doing well.

[@TorBoy9]

Beautiful and simple in design, but exact and difficult to make. They look great.

[@reisk1777]

It's very beautiful - I love your videos, and I love your craftmanship. I can imagine delicate, simple screens like that in my grandmother's house. I can imagine my cousins and I visiting my grandmother, and seeing screens like these leading out to my grandmother's garden. I can imagine playing with my cousins on my grandmother's lawn. I can see myself being chased by my cousins, and I can see myself accidentally running right through one of those beautiful paper walls. I can imagine my parents beating me while promising my grandmother that new sliding doors would be purchased with my allowance (I'm older than most of the Gen X crowd - beatings were not only permitted, they were considered essential). I can imagine being forced to sit in the car by myself.

[@BabaG]

Only people who don't know what it means to care for the details will not appreciate a video from the maestro. Thank you for sharing and as always it is just a pleasure to see the creation unfold.

[@jonathanmangold5024]

Really fabulous! One of the things I like is that there is NO music playing while you're working. Tool noise is music to my ears.

[@didndido3638]

As always, incredible work! Also thanks to Chie for lighting up the woodworking process with camera work and editing!

[@dkinney1000]

Shoji sings the sweetest song.

[@halfinchholes88]

I just witnessed your little move. I'm gonna do this same move forever. You placed your scribe at the cut mark, and then pulled your square up to it, then scribed down the square blade. You set the distance from the blade before positioning the square. Ingenious! Thank you for the videos. Beautiful work.

That circular planer at 4.20 is one tool I wish they sold here in the states.

It's a super surfacer, Makita, Hitachi, Miyagawa and Marunaka ones appear on Fleabay US from time to time. Need a way to sharpen the blades though...

Thank you so much!! It is always a pleasure and it gets me down to earth seeing new content from you!! It helps a lot to calm me down and focus not even for my own "projects" (a very big word for this crap i make) but for life itself. Sounds dramatic, but yeah, it is kind of therapeutical for me.

I become very calm, concentrate on the way you do your work, enjoy every step and am always absolutely satisfied with the result. Although all of my friends know me better as someone who is skeptical and perfectionist. But surely you are also the latter. Absolutely great your way of working and creating these excellent results and workpieces in the process. You can be more than proud and satisfied. It's great to watch. Thanks to you and your wife.
