ISHITANI - Making Wood Bending Chairs 2.0

This video was uploaded on 16th Jun 2016. I added "caution".

Wood : Black Walnut & Oak
Finishing oil-wax : Lappenwachs/KREIDEZEIT.
We are bending wood with irons.
曲木の椅子の製作は、とても手間と時間がかかります。
シンプルなデザイン故の技術的な難しさもあります。
材料は、丈夫で仕上がりの美しい堅木をよく乾燥させて使っているので、シビアなホゾ組みを要します。
土から生まれた木々が、こうして家具になり、家々でいろいろな人々と時間を共にします。
そんな時間を想像しながら、私達はひとつひとつ家具を作っています。

Thank you Mike :)

[@andrewburgess633]

Yeah- he's in a deep zone! I love the visible joints in the top of the seat- I had to subscribe

[@bluemoosewoodworking]

These videos, an art in and of themselves, go to prove that American hype and noise isn't necessary for success. My husband always says, if you can't be good, be loud. Ishitani is simply... good. Thanks for the inspiration

I am a first-year student in Carpentry and just seeing what you are doing with your hands, it makes me want to push myself even more to learn the trade. Thanks so much for this video it is beautiful to speak and I hope to have your skills someday in the future.

[@HandleToBeDetermined]

I am glad you have brought back the videos. They are helpful for my woodworking projects, but they suddenly vanished. It is considerate of you to put the caution. Thank you very much for these videos.

[@dmitrikrasnokutski3985]

Thank you very much Chie for making and posting these beautiful videos!

[@marcogarcia2310]

Mr. Shatani, you'are a wood's master, a clean and proper work, it'is a very quiet and pacefull place where you work, and Shiro is an amazing pet! ☺

[@timblackwood1531]

I will never just sit on a chair again without looking at the quality. 👌 Such effort and elegant design with concentration beyond most mortals. ❤️👍👍👍😎

[@rastogallo1454]

You make best Woodworking videos on KZbin !

[@urbanrollerBA]

no bolts neither screws, this is so amazing, japanese woodworking is so perfect

[@Luisfelipebethbff]

Natsuki, your fluid lines of work makes life easy, believe me, its a pleasure watch you working. Thanks from Brazil.

[@packycaria6610]

Mr. Ishitani...your work is so gracefull. You are a true artist.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

To see beautiful art come alive in your hands is an honour to watch.

[@Myrkskog]

I've lost count how many times i've watched through all your videos. I'm re-watching this one as I recently made a Windsor chair at furniture school. Interesting to note how much I understand now. Thank you, you're inspired me to change my life and follow my dream.

[@samuelsomerville8061]

penland?

[@Ian_Hay]

Glad this is back. Just beautiful - skilled work, and elegant filming.

[@АлександрШарапов-з5ь]

私はロシアのサンクトペテルブルク市に住んでいます。 私は自分のためにたくさん描いたあなたのロールを喜んで見ます！ また、私は日本、その人々、文化、歴史、さまざまな芸術の方向性が好きです！ 人生とあなたの創造的な仕事に幸運を！

[@ILikeCatsMoreThanILikeYou]

I have to say, you never cease to make me realize how far I have to go before I can call myself a craftsman.

[@boogieloo1831]

Your videos are so engrossing and captivating because there seems to be almost a spiritual element to them. There's truly a Zen like purity to your approach and your works of art. Truly lovely and peaceful. Congratulations and respect to you sir! Nothing but admiration for you and your work!

[@timcollins1131]

Exquisite motion, music, timing and such a well behaved dog!

[@eduardssimansons4908]

This is amazingly beautiful, a work of art with a soul.

[@HuyNguyenThanh207]

I can feels wood spirit in your works. Love them so much !!!

[@misterosc]

Well I'm guessing those are not cheap, but just the amount of work and care that goes into every chair, absolutely stunning. I hope some day I can them

[@ianbaker3678]

What more can be said, your a marvel at what you do. You use your tools skillfully and with dedication. I am learning to follow your practices and put them into what I make. Profound Gratitude.

[@Subsonic-cd2en]

The ad before this video was a Deadpool trailer. I actually watched it because I really want to see that movie, and then this video played. It was the craziest, and most awesome juxtaposition I've ever witnessed!

[@panther105]

That was a neat way to do steam bending. I would never have thought you could get enough penetration using this method. So glad I found you.

[@aggiehjorth]

Is he simply wrapping in damp cloth and aluminum foil and ironing them?

[@glennlopez6772]

Hi! Seems strange to be able to bend such thick sections so easily. Also no commentary!

[@andrewwatanabe3157]

I would love more of an explanation on this technique as well :)

[@Jacopo.]

Thank you Natsuki for this beautiful lesson of loving work

[@siffoine]

You have an amazing eye for designs. I think these kind of chairs as one of the most difficult items to get right. Great job!

[@williambirdwell1633]

you are an inspiration to the wood working community. i just think you are great at what you do. you inspire me.

[@boozzledebop5753]

Approximately 9 minutes in his little dog buddy in the background checking his work out... Love it...thanks for sharing

[@chrisfleming7288]

I'm so amazed watching any of your videos! A master craftsman, creating truly breathtaking works of master art! Bravo!

[@siddharthsharma240]

Your videos are so satisfying, fortunate to find this channel. I am learning a lot and I really enjoy the peace and the video. So, thank you.

[@superhall229]

It's nice to see that you three work so well together. Greeting from America.

[@mikey-jw3kc]

溜息が出るほど美しい。とても丁寧な仕事。 いつかオーダーしたいと思いました。

[@bg8163]

I've never been so impressed in my life...amazing craftsmanship!!!! Would be amazing to be your apprentice for a year...or 4 😂...great work.

[@shortliner68]

Interesting to see how much work goes into making a spindle back chair. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@joeldaoust6812]

Amazing work from both Natsuki on the woodworking and Chie on the video editing. I only hope to be as good at woodworking as Natsuki one day. Let me know if you ever need an apprentice. 😉

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Thank you :)

[@haysmandesigns286]

Beautiful work - the furniture and the film making. Love watching these 👏👏👏

[@aintgonnahappen]

Absolutely astounding work. Beautifully laid out videos as well. Nice work!

[@vincent7520]

Wonderful … Moreover the quality of the videos matches the quality of the furniture. Very impressive. If I was wealthy I would certainly ask you to furnish my home !…

[@Jeremyschannel1]

Gorgeous chair! I love the joinery. I hope that you do well selling them. I hope to make some chairs someday, as there is no way I could ever justify the expense of beautiful furniture like this. Really is gorgeous though. Building a stool now that I believe will bring me one step closer to feeling confident enough to build a chair.

[@JakJony]

Realmente existem pessoas especiais nessa Terra. Aqui um Mestre que ensina com o silêncio e sempre fazendo o Caminho da Simplicidade. Obrigado por essa forma de ensinar a Arte dos Trabalhos em Madeira. Assisto seus vídeos como forma de oração e meditação.

It’s amazing how he elevates simple furniture to such an unbelievably artistic level through his craftsmanship and attention to detail.

[@NapalHelena]

Wow I am totally in awe of your skill and mastery. Thank you for this! Absolutely inspiring and beautiful work

[@WoodworkingPro]

This an interesting video with unique techniques and very good workmanship and a fine looking chair. I caution anyone doing woodworking about the safety hazards involved with wearing gloves while using power equipment in the woodshop particularly table saws.jointers , radial arm saws, and lathes.

[@Ghostvomit_]

so so so amazing, great craftsmanship. I love watching your videos. keep em coming!

[@mama44402]

It is so pleasant to find videos of this quality, Thank you very much !

[@mfnzap6724]

Just watching these videos makes me relax. Great work. Congratulations! Thanks!

[@DavidAndersen84]

My deepest admiration for your masterpiece work! Sir, you make functional art, and of the highest order.

[@gustavoalvarez867]

Es un placer a la vista, verte fabricar "arte", ya que cada pieza que haces es casi la perfeccion. Gracias por compartirlo. Realmente me parecieron un video mas lindo que otro. Saludos.

[@taneleiskop]

These chairs are a work of art!!! Looking forward to more videos

[@Christopher-pf8qt]

Your work is stunning and so informative to us aspiring furniture makers.

[@jamessapam5949]

The feeling of ultimate satisfaction when all the pieces fit together exactly how they are intended to..... Ahhh.....

[@tysonthegringo]

I have psoriasis pretty bad affecting my hands and have to wear gloves at work, and whenever handling anything. I also need them for grip, as my hands get so dry and scaly that to keep from dropping things I need to hold them so tightly that I crush them. Or drop them. All that said, beautiful work. I love implementing ideas from others in work I do, and this joinery will be exciting to exciting to try! Thanks!

[@KevinJohnson-hi1xf]

I struggle with atopic dermatitis as well, and when I am woodworking, the sawdust of certain woods extremely irritates my condition. I however still dont wear gloves, because I dont feel safe. If you choose to wear yours, more power to you. Just be safe and keep up the good work!

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Thank you Kevin :)

[@luizcarloscalsavara527]

Congratulations. A true wood artist!!!

[@jphoffman1]

Just beautiful and fascinating all at once!! Nothing I can say here that hasn't already been said, but yet I feel compelled to comment anyway just to add my two cents worth! Just inspiring.

[@packycaria6610]

....and i absolutely love the fact that you work with your very cute dog...

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

The dog Shiro, he'll be able to make furniture someday. haha :D

[@ezrathereaux3295]

Chie, your videography is amazing.

[@ratzfatz388]

You are an Artist Sir! Greatest respect.

[@marcelooliveira3257]

Bravo again and always! ...from Brazil.

[@youglowlife]

Beautiful!! Really nice. Thank you for sharing!

[@leonprod]

Seeing your talents and the time it takes to make these chairs reminds me of what i always tell my step sons... If your going to do something, do it right ... Or don't do it at all! They have a habit of doing things half assed. And that just bothers me. I'm trying to instill in them the proper way of doing things. Your work is amazing!

[@philippschroer1101]

entertaining master craftsmenship at highest level - thanks for sharing!

[@davidrbmelo]

Amazing work! Congratulations 💯👍

[@mathiashosang571]

Ein sehr beeindruckender Handwerker!

[@stanlego4821]

amazing! i can't stop watching your videos

[@위딘포]

I'm always enjoying it in Korea. Thank you. And I'm always watching and learning. But I still haven't made a back-to-back round at my level of skill. So I'd like to buy it with made with Walnut. I want to make the rest.

[@rpomusic]

Korea?

[@Leeeeeum]

wow, I never thought of bending wood like that, love your videos!

[@jenssirbensonmam4822]

To watch Your videos is pure joy!

[@thomaspensinger8834]

I greatly admire your work. I cannot wait to see what you will create in the future.

[@garyknight8616]

Ishitani-san, beautiful work!

[@safelinefleet6633]

Excellent , as ever. What a pleasure to watch a master craftsman with his tools playing a symphony on the wood... I have just one observation - at 12:19, where the legs meet the seat, is it possible to hand cut the shoulder to match with the angle? This would a) enhance the visual appeal of a well carved joint and b) add to the strength of the already strong joint, as the pressure of the weight borne would distribute equally around the shoulder than being focussed on the highest point of contact. Sure, the shoulder is not actually bearing the weight, the joint has been strengthened by the taper wedges driven in from the top, but eventually the shoulder has to be defined for the purpose. This observation comes from a metal working mech.. engineer, who knows little about wood and its joints.

[@אליאלבן-דן-ה4נ]

Nice artistic presentation of your work at the end.

[@perryingto]

Your work is very good thanks for sharing

[@mrbrightsidekk6304]

woww nice video and talent... without using any nails and screw... you can make a great chairs

[@REGNUM_DEI_33]

wow. that is some next level craftsmanship

[@vilmararias4695]

Beautiful craftsmanship and video. These chairs seem reminiscent to Paul McCobb Planner Group chairs and or Nakashima chairs for Knoll. Were any of these a point of reference? Amazing amount of work and details, excellent job!

[@josefreitas9658]

Da pra perceber o carinho que ele trabalha com a madeira,isso é exelencia.Parabens.

[@jiricabadaj8397]

You are wizard !!! Very nice job!!!

[@downeybill]

where did you get all the industrial quality tools and machines? you have the best shop I've ever seen! Is it a family inheritance? an auction find? also, love how you choose different colours of wood to show off your joinery and other fastenings.

[@cesg7208]

Parece más una obra de arte que una silla. Increíble la paciencia de Ishitani.

[@DreamlandChronicles.1]

I really like your design.

[@mironline]

you have missed the dog-walking part in this video :) great job. wish to visit Japan one day and your shop too.

[@faisalmir9300]

Pure craftsmanship

[@jbb5470]

True artistry, just beautiful!

[@deaconlyric]

Wow and great job CHIE. Nice video work. Not a lot of loud music. good close up angles of what he is doing. Does anyone know what kind of finish he is using?

[@MTMF.london]

I am still trying to pick up my jaw from the floor! Using an iron to steam-bend wood - so simple, yet so ingenious.

[@glennlopez6772]

And it was so simple!. Good thing you saved your jaw. You have the observation and the makings of a master craftsman!

[@ethansummers1603]

amazing work! Why kind of drill bit are you using to bore out the chair legs?
