ISHITANI - Making a Shikaku Chair

[@clydedecker765]

Your "killing" the wood before glue up is rarely if ever seen. Very nice. Makes tight joints last without seams. Fantastic job with conscientious attention to detail and long lasting results.

[@slicerabbit6166]

What do you mean by “killing the wood”?

[@Leiesoldat]

@@slicerabbit6166 Where Ishitani-san is hammering the tenons and the wood around the mortises before glue up. The hammering is colloquial called "killing the wood" and allows the wood fibers to be compressed, and then later expand for a very tight fit.

Every Ishitani video is a Master's class in craftsmanship and quality.

This video also shows - without a single word - as much of the creation process as you need to know. No more, no less. Just enough to understand. Excellent work, congratulations.

Missed you guys. These videos are a delightful bubble of peace and caring. Thanks!

[@MrSoorajsurya]

I don't think I have paid so much attention , even to my engineering classes ... Anyone here agrees that the lack of background music also focuses your attention onto the work?? Coming to the work- in a class of its own... Spectacular.

[@danielmacleod3766]

Love how there is no cringy music or commentary during your videos. Just a cabinet maker doing his thing. Cheers

[@danpryde5503]

You know you've watched alot of Ishitani's videos when you can distinguish the specific sound of his table saw starting up.

[@dethgripco]

Upon seeing just the thumbnail, i immediately "heard" it.

[@athiefintamriel]

Chie, you always do such a wonderful job shooting and editing these videos! Your skill complements Natsuki's beautifully!! It is an absolute joy to view your work.

[@nickyork8901]

The definition of skill is when even the glue-up phase of the project has a zen like calmness. By the way, the lovely doggie reminds me of Snowy from Tintin.

[@normanbott]

My glue-ups are anything but calm ! 😢

[@JonDunnmusician]

TINTIN!❤

[@seanporter113]

I watch your videos over and over. 90% of what you make I love the style of the end product. 100% of your builds I see the absolute attention to detail. The almost religious devotion to your method. The care taken in each touch of the board. It inspires me. I have found that since I’ve watched your videos my own projects have improved 1000%. TY for sharing this with the world. You’re amazing

[@davidpires5065]

Toujours un immense plaisir de regarder une de vos vidéos. Un travail remarquable avec une grande sérénité. Merci.

[@daveparker5569]

Nothing better than old cast iron machinery. Nice shop!

[@douggilchrist5131]

I truly enjoy watching your process for designing and building furniture. Also your shop is so nice and bright and even though you use power tools in your shop, it seems so tranquil. It is great to have you back sharing your work with us.

[@squarerulefurniture]

Nice to see you again after a month~ You are always a great inspiration to me.

[@dennismacapagal9587]

i am also following you and so is another Korean woodworker (Kobeomsuk) and i must say Ishitani has always been an inspiration for us. Hopefully i could make my channel of my own. You are also a master craftsman. I hope i can find a Shimohira planer!

[@uncannyvalleywoods7248]

I'm not sure what the world did to deserve another video from you all, but thank you.

[@vaibhavgautam2558]

Only the possession of such art can make someone carry such patience. Hats of to you and your art.

[@johncaterify]

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I'd never seen a plane like the one you used to smooth out the seat before. Thanks for coming back and keep up the good work.

[@arthurwrobel2948]

I drop whatever I'm doing and watch these videos whenever I get notified.

[@Ampersand00]

Very pleased to see you are both still fit and healthy. Always delightful to see your wonderful craftsmanship (both the woodwork 🪚 and the videos 🎥 themselves). Bonus Shiro 🐶 cameo appearances are always welcome, too!

Thank you for another fine video. The simple nature of your videos is very pleasing and very natural. The sound of the woodworking tools makes me want to get back in my shop. It is inspiring and calming at the same time. Thank you Ishitani-san for another look into your craftsmanship.

[@vinz9465]

my grandad uses a band saw and a lot more glue for a lot of what you have shown in this video, despite owning all the kit youve got. not as accurate but a lot less time setting up jigs etc. I like watching your style too though, so precise and pleasing, but very different to my other influences. Your sash style clamps are amazing too,
