ISHITANI - Making a Walnut Trestle Table

[@regino523]

At the risk of being corny, this is what it must be like if poetry can be viewed. Just plain and simple amazing craftsmanship! No "What's up, guys!" No lame pathetic jokes! I sometimes think that most "build" videos are posted because people love to hear their own voice. And they're mostly americans!

[@barrypeters5136]

Just thinking this exact same thing...no annoying music was my though

[@mattmaxey5864]

I bet I've watched him build this table 10 times there is just something relaxing about watching this guy work

[@scout3873]

I can't quite find the words to express how much I enjoy your videos, and how grateful I am for the peace they help me to find. Thank you Chie and Natsuki...and especially Shiro. :)

[@KL-nj7vi]

I love the no talking part, totally instructive without the self aggrandizing of other woodworkers, wonderful!

[@wlial]

I really like the work of Ishitani Furniture. Clean, elegant, light and soft. A minimalism that is not cold, which brings the feeling of warmth and comfort.

[@olgacostin6166]

Браво! Не работа, а песня! Какая-то философия мастерству! Тому кто снимал видео, отдельное благодарю, всё снято без суеты и по делу, Умница!! Сил Вам и здоровья!!

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

I am a woodworker but using my skills to restore and conserve antique furniture in the UK. You are a natural tradesman and it is a joy to watch you work. Well done you !

[@gasduck1]

The production and editing of the videos is as big a part of the enjoyment as the actual construction. Much respect and admiration to Chie

[@michelleschry1255]

Chie thank you for telling the story of each piece so beautifully. Your art is a perfect complement to the art of the craftsman.

[@tonysheehan7766]

I think the film making/ camera work deserves more credit than it gets. Without it I don't think these films would be nearly so good

[@willd2609]

Hear hear! :)

[@circularebin]

I just wanted to thank you and your team for making these great videos. They are an absolute pleasure to watch. I honestly hope that you all are teaching this artistic knowledge and expertise with the younger generation. Everything about your videos exude serenity, and all of you have to be as beautiful as the furniture and videos you produce.

[@jlf1430]

You are truly an artisan who is one with your work. Your wife captures every aspect so well as she follows you with the camera. Your work and your videos are both works of art.

[@bougie86]

Your woodworking skill is master class. No screw, no sandpaper and just simply amazing joinery technique. It's how woodworking should always be. Thank you for sharing with us. Cheers from Australia.

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

Beautiful work again. It never gets old watching you make these pieces of art. You’re an inspiration.

[@aldoalexanderquispebecerra5241]

No puedo negar que me enamora la carpintería japonesa a comparación de muchos paises y a comparación de mi país Perú en el sitio donde laboro todo es cantidad pero no calidad y a veces quisiera darme el lujo de tener esa paciencia y de hacer un buen arte en la madera pero a pesar de todo siempre realizo mis trabajos bien hechos eso me enorgullece mas a pesar de algunas llamadas de atención. Gracias por tus vídeos Maestro 👏👏

[@RT-jf9pp]

one of the best dining table builder on youtube.!

[@nicholasdunn3897]

Yet another masterpiece. I think I speak for everyone who watches your videos when I say your talent is much appreciated, and we're all glad you've found your calling. It always brings me happiness when I see you have new content!

[@avinashbhalerao2601]

Your every piece for furniture is ABSOLUTE CLASS. My 6 yr old son also watches these video with me and looking at my expressions and awe feelings while watching, he suggests me to go to Japan and Salute You. It gives such a meditative level of pleasure watching you doing every detail. Thank you.

[@gregorypeterson9]

Where carpentry , Artistry and meditation meets. Beautiful

[@ghostface1737]

Just wow. With all the noise going on in the world today, these kinds of videos calm the soul. We’ll done, sir! Cheers!

[@wseejattan]

Truly one of the finest craftsman I have ever seen. Be blessed.

[@johnanderson8096]

Ive never had this thought while watching any of the 1000+ videos Ive watched on You Tube... "it was an honor to watch this gentleman create that table" ... just flat out beautiful!!!

[@NeedleDrops]

Shiro is the best quality inspector anyone could ask for! Thanks for the beautiful videos, love watching you work.

[@silentwoods6119]

とても素敵な家具と、製作工程が観れていい時間が過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

[@daviddanbbq5848]

always glad to see Shiro making an appearance

[@dalemartin7886]

If the video is more than half over before I see Shiro I start to worry.

[@daviddanbbq5848]

Haha exactly. Shiro is gonna need a manager before we know it.

[@timothyball3144]

First time watching one of these videos but Shiro must be that wonderful dog. I immediately fell in love.

[@edwingng7973]

I am TOTALLY in awe of your skills and craftsmanship. This is pure Art. I am short of words.

[@totobill22]

Vous avez l'art de faire entrer chez les gens qui vous regardent travailler une grande sérénité. C'est un réel plaisir que de vous voir faire ces ouvrages remarquables ! Vraiment un très très grand merci !!!

[@accessfm]

The stress of my day today has vanished while watching your video. The most relaxing thing I have watched all month.

[@seansimpson752]

That. Is. Beautiful. Wonderful work from a great craftsman. And completely without ego. Big respect to you.

[@bogey2230]

One of the better ways to spend 13 minutes of your day.

[@walther9161]

I learn sooooo much watching him work. Thank you!!

[@BabaG]

Beautiful as always. My hope is people watch this and get inspired, to want to be meticulous and pay attention to the detail.That they get to absorb the work ethic & desire to bring precision to their work. The society we live in seems to celebrate mediocrity more and more and there is less and less desire to deliver quality product and service in any field. Thank you for sharing so generously. Always serene, calming and inspiring.

[@ultraric]

Very well said. And, true. So true.

[@AJ-kw8gm]

Tremendous build and your photography production is outstanding. Thanks for sharing this

[@mickolay]

Не перестаю восхищаться работой мастера.

[@JackKojack]

Alat nya Uda canggih Dan lengkap Pasti lh hasil nya indah. Teknik cara Model kerja nya Bagus Saya suka Sukses Saya tunggu model motif unik terbaru nya

[@RCW-Designs]

Seriously man, I've had a horrible day, but seeing your notification pop up just made my day. I'm always so inspired and at peace watching you work.

[@elizondoe]

[@pepeandroid]

My stress level has been lowered by 20%, heart beat rate 62/min. The healing magic of Ishitani.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Absolutely the best woodworking videos ever. Thank you

[@tomalcolm]

Insanely good. Craft, production, story...all of it. 職人

[@lloyddotimas6302]

Your work is always satisfying to watch. It is the highest level of workmanship I've ever seen!

[@demzaber9969]

Hi Ishitani, you're a SAGE. greatness only, you're hands and mind are a gift. ありがとう

[@fw1421]

Old world craftsmanship combined with modern tooling. Beautiful work.👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@flatratewoodworks8634]

Gotta love starting with boards that look like they were cut with half a saw blade! Nobody knows! But this is what separates diy from true craftsmen. Beautiful build

[@giannibasso64]

you are the poet of wood and your works are full of poetry

[@Givulinovich]

In my dreams, my home would be fully Ishitani furnished. Your joinery always makes me smile. By the way, your saw horses are impressive. No wiggle at all.

[@bighands69]

Would you not like to learn to do it yourself. And for the really specialized pieces splash out the cash every now and then as they will be lifetime pieces.

[@xaytana]

@@bighands69 Not everyone has a large workshop or all the tools to do this kind of work themselves.

[@brq838]

@@xaytana or the actual skills. it's not only about the tools, it's about the craftsman.

[@dalepage5511]

Overwhelming craftsmanship.

[@pd417]

Not even on my best day can I even come close. A true craftsman.

[@joelloya4124]

As usual, this stone cold gangsta has killed it again. With a posse like Chie and Shiro, it’s no wonder. Thank you for another inspiring build.

[@darrylbrook5968]

As many have already said ... Beautiful work. An honour to be able to watch. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@jcjj9989]

Un verdadero maestro de la madera .Gracias por mostrarnos tu hermoso trabajo

[@martincarranza354]

Excelente maestro,es un placer ver tus videos.

[@Specialized61]

Simply a work of art! Beautiful! Thank God it’s the weekend and this grandpa’s shop will be waiting in the morning !

[@metroplexchl]

Beautiful. Truly. If well maintained, this table will last 500 years. Well done,sir.

[@wb_finewoodworking]

That table is outstanding and the joinery used to assemble it is exceptional, Then when I saw that you also made the bench and chairs I was amazed. Extremely well done project. Thank you for sharing.

[@_Chupakabra_]

*Шедеврально!!! На эти вещи можно смотреть бесконечно!*

[@hyland1984]

I always get a kick out of watching your builds man. Japanese carpentry is so much more exciting & peaceful. As my carpentry teacher told me the other day: Japanese carpentry has being way a head of the world for hundreds of years.

[@barefootlyrooted]

Beautiful table! I absolutely enjoyed watching this as well. It is always calming to watch masters of their craft at work.

[@blakeyokum1547]

Thank you for sharing your process and beautiful work. Beautiful piece

[@charlesthomas9294]

This was a great mixture of modern equipment and classic hand-tool techniques.

[@shawnnelson8627]

Outstanding craftsmanship. Beautiful table

[@WoodByWright]

So beautiful! I love the wedged tenon touch!

[@mickleblade]

your next project??

[@WoodByWright]

@@mickleblade lol I don't need another table project right now. But some day I might make another tressel.

[@wlial]

@@WoodByWright That's true, I think you do not need another table after that. :-D P.S .: Hey James, it seems we all visit the same channels in social media :-)

[@jamesthompson7825]

I agree. They look darker than the other walnut. Do you think it is because it is end grain or maybe some other reason?

[@ViTTEN]

Just a word. Beautiful!😍

[@ugaladh]

Those two-color chairs look great with this table.

[@sonyaenix2336]

I love watching your videos. Can't stop.

[@aderftard]

This may be my favorite piece that you've posted. Walnut is a rich and warm wood so the thick top with a square edge profile has a simple beauty and a commanding presence. The trestle style is inherently a bit rustic, but the sharp lines and tapers are quite modern in feel. The contrasting wedges in the cross-member's tenons are a perfect touch - subtlety decorative without being ornamental. I love everything about the design and execution of this piece. Thank you for sharing.

[@davidcole333]

Incredibly beautiful. I like how the wood is the star of the show and it's beauty shows through your work.

[@jefffoster6688]

I really enjoy watching you work and i consider the people who get to keep your furniture very lucky indeed... thank you

[@mattberg916]

Simple beauty. Excellent work

[@greigotee8585]

Beautiful cinematography Chie

[@stereodreamer23]

That last pic--where the bottom line of the top rail of the chairs lines up perfectly with the bottom of the tabletop--shows the level of unparalleled attention to detail that only a true master craftsman can achieve. Stunning...

[@stevebiggs1822]

True quality and craftsmanship. A beautiful piece.

[@LIFELOVER715]

Master wood worker. Great designs with everything in solid good taste.

Your channel is therapy! So relaxing. Unbelievable quality of work. Thankyou.

[@chrisfleming7288]

I watch your videos as a form of meditation. The grace and beauty of the things you make, as well as the zen-like atmosphere you have in and around your shop is therapeutic. I'm a wanna be wood worker, but have yet to lift a tool. Your videos are very inspiring!

[@the_first_woodwizard]

Masterpiece after masterpiece. I could (and have) watch your videos all day. So relaxing and thought provoking. I wish I had your tools and the space. Thanks again for the pleasant viewing.

[@danielantoniomartinezrodri9968]

Those are my wishes too hahah. Its so frustating to not have the space to do it. greetings from Mexico !!!

[@kakman1958]

The wood is beautiful - the craftsmanship is exquisite.

Mr Ishitani, your work is inspiring. I love that your dog is the quality inspector. My dog spends a lot of time in my shop as well. Thank you for your inspiring videos.

Really nice work. The double wedged tenons and the base profiles look modern yet warm.

[@jbb5470]

Absolutely beautiful! Chie your video was exceptional on this project. Really enjoyed how your added a subtle bit of color (orange mushroom & the green on Shiro's nose). Added another dimension to this video, Outstanding!

[@wakawaka1976]

Makes me appreciate my grandpa who had just a table saw and hand tools to do work like this. Makes me marvel at those who did it without even a table saw.... Wish I had the skill of masters like this.
