ISHITANI - Making MARU Stools

[@maker_mitch]

Sometimes I meditate and sometimes I just watch these videos. It produces about the same level of peace of mind.

[@Chrismoughan]

I wish there was a Loved It button, like just doesn't do it justice. Your skills as a woidworker are amazing, and your videos are so peaceful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for making them.

[@three-leggedcat6241]

正確で丁寧な作業。美しい家具。映像もセンスが良くて見入ってしまう。

[@davecsaszarable]

Great way to start my weekend. Thanks for sharing this video

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Thank you :)

[@JD_Fidler]

I always know I can click "like" for your videos before I watch them. As always your work on both the furniture and the video is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@mrkeggjr]

I have never watched one of your videos till now and seeing the way you love the wood you are working with and watching the craftsmanship has made me want to do more of my own hand made stuff. I want to sit the power tools down and use a knife and other tools to get better at using them thank you.

[@panther105]

Always envious of your skills but also of your access to such beautiful hardwoods

[@ianmacdonald1846]

The beauty of simple things made with exquisite care--thank you for another inspiring video.

[@robertwilliams8974]

[@BurtonsAttic]

Another great design, I'm sure that stool will never come apart! Like your trimming knife, like a razor

Your furniture, workshop and editing can all be summed up in one word. Beautiful.

[@olssonstefan7]

So nice! Love it.

[@ramiroprado7649]

Amazing work, as usual!! Congrats!!

[@hermannstraub3743]

Wonderful video. Beautiful stools. I like that "Socks". They make them look to stand more stable.

[@jesuslizandrohau9689]

Ishitani san: Your work is beautiful, if someday you need an apprentice I will travel from Mexico to Japan to work with you.

[@time-lapseartwork2827]

very jelaous to see all of those tools... the only clamp I had broke yesterday.

[@davidzheng5661]

Healing Time ,BGM is also good .

[@TheGrigoryi64]

Я восхищаюсь вашей работой!

[@rulas873]

I thought the title said Making More Stools, so I was thinking, no it's fine, It's great, thank you!

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

Circle is called "Maru" in Japanese.

[@kusanagi533d]

すばらしい。

[@erlinghagendesign]

ありがとうございました

[@richardbrooks7860]

wow another spectacular video of your wonderful work. What kind of saw is that you use to cut the tenons and slots in the legs?

[@woodywood1951]

芸術作品

[@hdjg1]

Good to see you back. What wood did you use for the stools?

[@theowwm]

I love that saw you're using at 3:40. Who is that made by? Thanks.

[@martindouglas2745]

それは働くあなたを見ている私の大きな喜びです。

[@Almix0011]

Hi, could you add to the english wood names also japanese name... would like to know walnut and oak name in japanese? I love your videos, a big smile comes on my face when i see upload from you, keep up the good work!!! ;D

[@YolotLanda]

Sobresaliente trabajo.

[@mickleblade]

I guess he uses a slow set glue for more open time? I googled Oshika but google can't translate the page for me. Thanks for the video

[@tedgreco5415]

Love your work and enjoy the video’s. What is the adhesive I always see you using?

[@Metalloys]

Hello Master. Always enjoys watching your fine methods of work. The only thing I have always been wondering : since you are such a great master, and lover of precision and accuracy (2 different things) why do you never join inclined legs to their base in a proper joint : i.e. you keep the legs with their radius reduction perpendicular to their own center-line axis, rather than tilting to be flush with the base?

[@MrKikoboy]

It's because the tenon is turned on a lathe - the shoulder can only be 90 degrees to the leg ( unless he spent a *lot* more time hand carving the shoulder ) - there is a way to turn the tenon at the angle but it results in short grain sections making it much weaker ( off centre turning ) - it's much easier to do with square stock but it doesn't match the piece...

[@Metalloys]

Thanks Mr. Kikoboy. However there is another way which is increasing the bore in the Base to accept 1 or 2 cm of the full width of the leg and hide the unpleasant appearance of a slanted edge.

[@MrKikoboy]

That would work - add an extra step though- or he could turn a longer tenon and just flare the leg diameter further down as well instead of having a hard shoulder....

[@JapaneseJoinery]

Going off the channel and his style I am going to guess it is an intentional design choice. I think the beauty in his work is the use of techniques that can be achieved using only hand tools. ...Is this an example of the joint you were referencing? www.instructables.com/id/Easy-Angled-Mortices-on-the-Drill-Press-Attaching-/

[@baptistehess7191]

Wow, I want your drillpress! What is the model or reference?

[@mattjarvis-cleaver5835]

I love you videos, how do you determine the lenghts of the stretchers for the stool? Do you make the stretcher oversized so it can stick out for wedges or is there any math involved?Thanks

[@shakirquliyev1836]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@amadeuguadalupe]

What is that white pasty glue tha um use on your furniture? is it regular wood glue??

[@wujciowariatuncio5702]

niezłe :D trochę surowe, ale fajne

[@pablocruzgilmour]

Just beautiful. When I’m working I sometimes imagine I’m you and it keeps my work flow precise, efficient, peaceful and methodical. You are an inspiration and I always look forward to seeing your work.

[@ISHITANIFURNITURE]

wow Thank you :)

[@mski349]

No one would complain if your videos were doubled in length. It's like woodworking therapy.

[@ВикторШтойко-о1г]

私はいつも新しい仕事を楽しみにしています。あなたはとても好意的な人で、動物を愛しています。ウクライナからこんにちは。

[@jimallen199]

Thank you your videos are like a meditation.

[@sullivanspapa1505]

Personally experiencing a "wood working" dry spell for the last 3 months but with this highly crafted video of Ishitani's exquisite work, ably abetted by his wife and Shiro, has wetted my appetite for more. Thanks to all three of you. May the New Year bring good health, happiness and more very fine work!!!

[@pineywuds]

It's nice to see a simple, utilitarian object like a stool receive such a high level of craftsmanship and quality. Someday I'll have to attain one of your pieces! Very nice. :)

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

What a great visual story. Great Work, I love your shop, furniture, and tools...they are all a work of art.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So relaxing to watch. I especially liked watching how you rounded off the x brace 👌

[@zel1794]

Hello, I am a French designer and I am starting my furniture business. I'm seeking advice. Can you help me? I would like to know how long it is to make your stool. Thanks for your work !

[@fultronjackson]

Anyone know what sort of machine that is @ 4:00? Special joinery saw? I know it's an extension of the cross cut table. Great videos, love watching your work!

[@arnaudgoffin]

Can I call you : Master ? :) Wonderfull job, very inspirating!

[@thewoodworker106]

It must be cold in his shop he always has a coat on. Even shiro has a coat on. Beautiful work though. Awesome shop. I’d love to have those machines.

[@arthurmelo8957]

Chie's work is beautiful. It's like seeing nature through a clean window.

[@musamor75]

Very beautifully put dear Sir.

[@jackketch7660]

Nice stool sample. Did anybody else write that yet? It's a dad joke innit!

[@上田Uえだ]

[@satishmanjhi]

Hello! Though I never tried any wood work but am a big fan of your works. Keep posting. It’s quite relaxing to watch them in fact.

[@여우-y6r]

정말이지 아름답네요.. 두 분.. 잘 배우고 갑니다..구독 좋아요 꾹~~!!^^

[@JamesLee-sw6ss]

What's moderately amusing to think about. Come here to see the comments and everyone comments on how calming, soothing, meditative the videos are... I just can't help but think that he has streams of expletives just like the rest of us, they're just not shown in the video ;)

[@garygrieves6752]

That's clearly not the case. But if it were to happen, just once, explosively, I think I'd laugh so much I'd pee a little.

[@Demy_Lopez]

Your work is inspiring. Your quality is excellent. A break from the noisy life Thanks :)

[@user-du2of3lh1g]

Just curious what kind of wood did you use for this project?

[@davidgendron1953]

Yes, as usual, perfection in all the details!! Well done. Really inspiring. Take care!

[@THEOuchyDathurts]

Lovely stuff as always! Is there a name for the saw you use at 3:45 looks quite dangerous but very useful. I've never seen anything like it in America.

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Before they get their legs the seats look like enormous buttons.

[@TheWoodYogi]

Beautiful :)

[@urieal]

The amount of excitement when I see a new Ishitani video is indescribable.

[@Sentencedtolife]

what is your carving knife?

[@AndreaArzensek]

Your videos have a relaxation effect on me! Excellent craftsmanship, camera shots and editing. Inspiring!

[@Rob-in2sp]

What drill augers do you use?

[@BitsandWood]

Is he using a Star-M f-type bit to drill the holes in the seat?

[@discostoo]

Yes! Good eye.

[@BitsandWood]

@@discostooI just got one. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. The only place I could find one was from a store in England. Took a little while to get here, but I'm excited to try it out.

[@IboRahmatillaev]

Gapyo' zo'r 🇺🇿 uzb 👍👍

[@Commonvoice815]

Does anyone know what the saw used at 3:45 is called? Or if it is sold anywhere in america? Ive only ever seen Ishitani use it..

[@ThorCarpenter]

I would love to know as well. Fascinating.

[@jackketch7660]

But seriously. Nice work.

Nicely done again Ishanti! Timeless master craftsman!

[@THERE4fabrications]

Great videos. It would be great to know what species of wood you are using.

I always look forward to your videos, and the craftsmanship that goes into your furniture. Then I noticed that I haven't subscribe to your channel. Mission accomplished! Looking forward to your next project! Thank you

watching you is like meditating. Thank you and greetings from Vienna

[@BabaG]

In the world we live in with so much anger, frustration, apathy and violence, I am blessed to have a way to escape and see beauty in how you channel your energies to making the world a better place. Thank you for your generosity in sharing these processes of transforming wood in to beautiful furniture with a love affair paying attention to detail something that is lost in the world of mass crap. Thanks, as someone else commented it is a beautiful way to start the day/week/month...

[@WAQARALAMLIVE]

I just love your precision 😍🤩😍🤩😍

[@marek_6096]

very very nice and esoteric ;)

[@musamor75]

Peace and harmony are to be found in your works and within your walls, and this is so because you must have peace and harmony in your soul. Thank you for sharing.

[@kandalfus]

between the east and the north without single nail, i like your works dude Arigato gozaimasu from algeria

[@whirled_peas]

One important trait of this furniture is a consistent level of detail all over. I was considering the choice to stain the feet. Without it the feet would be plain, and the overall colour of it is plain, so with one change (the staining), it completes the item.

[@gerritjanoosterhuis8299]

as always: impressive!

[@marcashbourne176]

I am so glad I found your channel!!! The craftsmanship and video production quality are absolutely incredible!!!!!!

[@kitchenscience324]

You have a great deal of skill sir, thank you for the video. EASILY SUBSCRIBED!
