ISHITANI - Making a Bed 2.0

[@eLstupido16]

When you love traditional style and you collaborate it with modern tech tools. There's no hate in you man. Pure love. This is what the world need. Love all the genres.

[@Maloy7800]

This channel is SUCH a breath of fresh air. I cannot tell you how tired I am of seeing "DIY", "rustic", "farmhouse". Tired of mega popular sloppy joes with millions of views telling you how to build furniture from used pallets. THIS is SO different. I could watch this all day and won't be tired. Attention to detail, fantastic accents, nothing left to chance. ありがとうございました! この調子で頑張れ! (First time using kanji, hope I got that right! :-) )

[@emmawelsh5336]

I totally agree with you. I'm a jeweller and it's the same in my trade. people bodging things together and calling themselves artists. It's so sad.

[@BRENDANTHERED]

jomsart - how is he gatekeeping? Sounds to me like he’s sharing an opinion... and to be honest I couldn’t agree with him more. He’s not trying to discourage anyone from learning or trying, he’s giving credit to the creator of this video for the amazing work he does, and the degree of perfection he attains in his work.

[@BRENDANTHERED]

@@aleksanderkac1494 Your calling us snobs? Your comment is clearly the most snobbish in this thread!

[@audreymoon7269]

@@aleksanderkac1494 looking at how he constructs these pieces it looks like the furniture would hold together fine without glue/screws. But he uses them anyways. It's really just extra support for an already sturdy bed. What's so bad about that? Also whats up with everyone hating on biscuits? It's just meant to help line up the pieces. They're not actually meant for structural support. You sure sound snobby for a person that's calling everyone else a snob.

[@BRENDANTHERED]

@@aleksanderkac1494 sure, except no one here claimed or acted like they were superior to anyone. Get a life...

[@808rebel4]

The patience, skill, and effort Mr. Ishitani puts into all his work is amazing and an art in itself!

[@nikaluss5946]

I’m a carpenter, I’ve been one for 15+ years. I speak from experience when I say that the mortising of different shaped pieces of wood so that they fit together evenly is HARD

[@blah914]

The accuracy of everything he does is amazing. It is so satisfying to watch him work.

[@fern6114]

The dog The work The machines The carpenter And the perfection I made my first bed Learning by doiing Thank you

[@slapuharder]

you're an artist and a furniture maker. a hard task to achieve. phenomenal work sir

[@alfonshomac]

I'm zen-ing out just watching this, I bet my man is meditating in the stratosphere while woodworking.

[@HashimJavedsofakinggood]

This was more a video essay than making a bed. A meditation on craft, the relationship man his to his tools and the world around him. Wonderful work.

[@AmirSoltany]

its the real art of woodworking, I watched 3 times and enjoy of his working

[@clarkso65]

So neat and intricate. And a mix of modern and Asian style carpentry which reminds me of old days when we use only wood to lock joints, no nails just all natural. Thanks

[@jeffreykipperman6894]

Such beautiful functional art that he makes, and his makers mark is so diminutive. Such a humble artist.

[@gibsonguy5240]

This guy is a TRUE craftsman...It takes many years to get this good. He makes it look so easy. I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay what this bed frame is worth but if I owned it I would admire the detail for life. WOW

[@procordia1]

Excellent and elegant job too. Definetelly not for amateurs. Your work and your videos are masterworks. Wish was there to watch you live creating these masterpieces. Greetings from Athens Greece

[@djbxandsbr451]

I agree 100%. Not just watch, but learn about the traditional way of joining. They have temples that withstood the test of time and mother nature, with no metal parts.

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΠαπάς-ε9ζ]

Δεν υπάρχει ο τύπος. Έχει όμως και ότι μηχάνημα χρειάζεται. Όμως ξέρει τι χρειάζεται ;)

[@christianbuch2430]

Having a education within carpentry it is a joy to se that someone still makes furniture, as I was taught back in my day. It makes me wish I had the mashies to start the old “magic” up again. Thanks a lot for sharing your work. Keep it up and never let it die

[@edwingng7973]

I'm short of words. This is no longer a craft, this is ART. That's the best I can come up with, and I'm really falling short.

[@ACreativeWorks]

We all know how precious the woods are, most especially the "hardwood". It is hard for me to see those gigantic trees being cut down for human consumption. But seeing this kind of craftsmanship, it gives justice and peace of mind. Converting a hundred year old tree into a piece of art.

[@acanadianwoodworker]

Four videos into the channel and I'm in love. The proportion, materials and craft of all your designs is very elegant. Extraordinary work.

[@badboyvids1]

This is one of my favorite channels, Real woodworking, able to follow with no sound, great designs totally motivational> Thank you for sharing

[@AlilishSuki]

I kinda like the wave and irregularities in the wood before it was cut straight, still a beautiful piece. Shows a lot of craftsmanship and care

[@danbytp]

The finished piece is art, him making it is performance art! Double talent,WOW!!!

[@elmerilansiharju9117]

Your manners of working makes it look so easy. While watching these videos I tend to forget how hard carpentry actually is.

[@salaheddinematter4106]

am i the only one who admires the use of modern tools to perfect the joining methods? The detail that blows my mind though is the hand chamfering/bevelling of the protuding tenons/dowels (my woodworking terminology is shite) top work +ishitani furniture

[@juukame]

6:07, I was trying to figure out why he was going to the trouble of making those little pegs with the double slits in them, but this just blew my mind. Using the tabs, and then inserting shims between them to make a tight fit and prevent and sort of relative motion or wiggle. Freaking genius!! I seriously am awestruck by this little technique! If there's one thing that will immediately render something as seeming cheap or poorly made, it's squeaking, wiggling or instability, but that little technique is a game changer.

[@Riverafo821]

It's beautiful work..search for Japanese carpentry...

[@user-pu9sn8tr7n]

@juukame those are wedged tenons and are used in many other applications like windsor chair legs, he also used it in his trestle table build.

[@vinubox]

It is nice to watch someone really working and not talking ! Keep going !

[@beneporto3188]

Mr. Ishitani, I greatly admire your works. Your videos are a source of inspiration for my work. Thank you very much.

[@fabiotinalli1050]

I'd stay in front of the screen weeks looking this man working... It's so relaxing and at the same time so interesting... Beautiful...

[@MarcoAntonioZeballos]

it's so relaxing and inspiring see him work, great camara shots, edition and music selection, great team! love to hear shiro steps! greetings from Lima, Perú 👍

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

yeah, hear his footsteps :) Thank you.

[@JAVI3R1980]

[@djbxandsbr451]

Enjoying his work as US transplant in the EU. Fantastic.. And yes we can hear the footsteps

[@mmanut]

Clean lines. Oil finishes & Beautiful Hardwoods, can't beat that. You have some great cast iron machines, Real nice shop. Vinny

[@joeyrock]

I really like the way he left the tenons slightly proud and beveled the edges..elegant touch.

[@musamor75]

As always ; simple and beautiful. A very talented young man. A big hello to Shiro please.

[@武ルリ]

英語のコメントばかりだったので、最初は外国なのかな、と思いました。DIYビデオを見ている内に辿り着き、綺麗なベッドで見とれてしまいました。小学校の頃、中軽によく遊びに行っていました。アシスタントさんによろしく！

[@WizzRacing]

Something that looks so simple. Yet takes hours to build. Not to mention the years to learn the skills needed to make one.. Great Stuff..

[@OracleTestlab]

I am an IT Professional, at my 40's busy with IT problems all the day, but when I see such a beautiful work, I like to leave my IT job and learn such wonderful wood work. I wish I could learn work. Expect to open my own wood shop after my retirement from IT Job.

[@fifthseason4882]

don't know why seeing someone making a bed can be so touching....

[@joseayala7969]

Gordon Yeung bro you read my mind. 😎

[@borp6912]

Because seeing someone put great care into something is really inspiring, especially in our current times of Cheap and Fast

[@justinbudreau4814]

Worked for Mozart...

[@eunlawon5290]

Haha😆

[@gentryism]

Skill and attention to little details even in hidden spots that few customers would ever see. That’s work with integrity. That gets my sub. - New Fan!

[@gregself2461]

Three dimensional poetry. These videos are wonderful. I could(do) watch them for hours. The skill of these guys is incredible. How can you not want to build something after watching this video?

[@andrewburgess633]

excellent- he makes it look simple and lets the wood speak for itself.

[@MTMF.london]

This is one bed that will be handed down the generations. So simple yet so beautiful.

[@JackCloudie]

It's amazing how easily something so seemingly mundane as woodworking, can be made to be beautiful with patience, love, and great camera angles. I'd buy one of those beds in a heart beat. by the way.

[@GentlemanH]

To watch this fellow working uplifts my spirits - thank you for taking time out to make this video and share it.

[@ritchtaylor3831]

Can never figure out who gives your videos a "thumbs down". Absolutely beautiful work and attention to detail.

[@Roadsaftyslowdown]

Natsuki you make simply the most wonderful furniture. Really enjoy having no commentary. Certainly my favourite wood worker. Chie great video work as always, your music selections are always spot on. Shiro your claws on the floor bring back fond memories of a dog long lost, they should live as long as us.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Classical simplicity, beautiful. Greetings from Australia.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Having the correct size machines for working with large lumber certainly makes the job easier (than when I wrestle with my six inch jointer and eight foo, lumber) HOWEVER, you sir, are a master. Machines or no machines. Brilliant joinery

[@jeffintoronto5712]

Timeless design. It will look still look great 100 years from now.

[@1973Washu]

This reminds me of Shaker furniture, they were a religious sect that was also famous for their woodwork which was simple and had incredible attention to detail. Their furniture had no adornment but it had the beauty of a well-made object that suits its purpose well.

[@mrswicknick]

Absolutely breathtaking. Simple, yet elegant. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment but I hope you don't mind that I am now building a bed for my son inspired by this design! Cheers

[@bjjneuwied6733]

the most beautiful furniture are those that look simple yet are carefully crafted. i would love to build a bed like this one day.

[@loola456]

Best woodworker out there

[@robgoodsight6216]

[@MamaTeeHam]

I've been watching your videos at night to help calm me down and relax.

[@johnnyz7752]

I am soooo jealous. I would LOVE to have your workshop. Beautiful job!

[@Greg-iu6ys]

Precision of Your work is stunning. A fine piece of carpentry at it most exeptional form. Very inspirational. Keep it going.

[@_pulyx]

A bed like this must be virtually unbreakable. Amazing

[@ronaldevans4709]

That bed is just beautiful. I love your little doggy I am a big dog fan please give him some love.

[@aredamzd1]

Bravo, Maestro. Esto sí que es arte. Gracias por compartir su pasión y talento

[@temir591]

His work is great! He is use real " kalevela tecnique" for his furniture. This tecnique make his work perfect. This technique makes the furniture he makes unique. If I had a lot of money, I would buy every piece of furniture she made with my eyes shut.

[@Plof005]

I could watch this for hours and hours... So relaxing.

[@jackjack9292]

Seeing your work and craftsmanship inspires me to start a new project.

[@vc20029]

He creates a piece of art. Its a joy to just watch him work and learn from him.

[@ROGUPA]

No wonder why Mr. Ishitani has accomplished such a high level of perfection and beauty beyond expectation: That four legged assistant and quality supervisor Shiro seems to be severely strict and effective taking care of every single detail ;-) A sincere greeting and my gratitude for showing us your work... mmmhh... no, let me rephrase it: A sincere greeting and my gratitude for you AND YOUR TEAM for showing us your ART. Best Regards from México.

[@caio2k23]

That looks so simple, yet so beautiful, it's a work of art. Congratulations and greetings from Brazil :)

[@juliusison7600]

You are a master in your craft, working in a quiet place like yours gives you a much focus on what you're doing..really enjoy watching how you work..

[@Antipodean33]

There is something very unique to how the Japanese go about their craftsmanship, very precise, unhurried and somewhat serene

[@jasonbutler9320]

Phenomenal attention to detail...absolute craftsman.👌👌

[@alanbrooke144]

Love the craftsmanship. Someone is going to end up with a beautiful heirloom piece of furniture.

[@ceno8039]

Drooling over that workshop....

[@erniereyes2831]

[@davidcole333]

Such a beautiful piece. Elegance personified!

[@Thefrenchiie]

I am a Carpenter from France, country that has a great tradition in carpentry crafship but Still, I admire Japenese technics and art so much

[@vichubbard3664]

Thank you for always capturing the spirit of Natsuki's work, Chie.

[@protein3266]

In school I managed to get to make a double bed for my A level - I still use it today and its built in a similar way, but you make it look SO easy - at every point while I was making it I was sweating, grunting and getting annoyed because I always forgot the limbs of the bed were taller than a door, so I ended up cloths lining myself multiple times while going through doors with them -.- well done though, this bed looks very professional and clean!

[@chenriquem]

This is not a bed, it's a piece of art. Great job!

[@eunlawon5290]

Haha😆true

[@jeffreyknotts4148]

Simple elegance, perfectly fashioned. Thank you.

[@Automedon2]

Just beautiful, and I love that you used only the sounds of the woodworking - no Youtuby soundtrack.

[@braderokaykalang187]

Thats so simple and elegant it symbolizes how do you live on earth

[@anthonyparker7999]

Absolutely beautiful work I’d love to spend a week working along side him. I can only imagine the amount things you could pick up and learn. I’ll pay the flights and even the accommodation just for a week watching and learning. Thanks Tony

I always love work with wood, but since i discover your videos, I fell in love the way you do all the work, and all my wish is, when i grow old, make something similar with my own hands. Thanks for the videos, they are inspiring.
