Japanese Joinery - Build a Step Stool

[@MrBrewzr]

I’m a brand new woodworker, and it just seems like every project I watch you do I learn something new, no matter how simple the project is. Thanks for the great content.

[@richnfamous59]

the attention to detail and focus on doing the best possible job is a great approach for any beginner

[@antoniobavia6167]

Anything he do seems simple but...It Is not....the why Is his extra ability, One of the best woodworkers on the net.

[@understandingbibleprophecy9958]

Watching you work reminds me so much of sitting on the floor of my dads workshop watching him make things that we actually used in our house. Now that he’s gone they are treasures..,. watching your gentle ease of working those beautiful pieces from simple wood to thoughtful aesthetic furnishings is awesome. Thanks 🔨

[@william44660]

Your work shows a nice balance between pretty and practical. You work like somebody who's got a young wife and young kids! It's stuff that's built to last but it's built for people, not art critics.

[@paladinkhan]

I like the style, i wasnt sure how i felt about the wedges on the brace between the legs at first, but compared to any other ways i can come up with i definitely like the way it turned out. Ill definitely be making something similar soon

[@williammueller768]

It's craftsmanship like this that keeps my interest alive. Can't wait to have a garage sale. It would make more than enough room to be able to start woodworking again.

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

Do it man! Such a fun hobby

[@michaelbannerman-roberts1518]

Beautiful! No need for plans, you showed all. Had planned to make a hop-up a couple of days ago - glad I held off. Many thx. Will take a bit longer as I won't be using electrics but I don't mind.

[@ronswanson3656]

Glad to have you back Samurai.

[@arasul]

What a splendid project. It was indeed a treat to watch it.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Hi Jesse , Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences.awesome program.

[@steveherring6660]

very nice stool.

[@enoccastro3614]

I love you tutorial and always learning thanks to you I suscribed greets from Costa Rica

[@monkebetao]

i just resonantly got my hands on a set of chisels and a ryoba saw and made my first box i i really want to thank you for giving me the motivation to doing it man keep up the work man

[@monkebetao]

next im going to try to make a legless chair with a pallet XD

[@oshkoshbjosh]

This is so impressive to build something like this without using nails or screws... I bet it requires a lot of patience and also a mountain of failures to overcome to get to this level of craftsman.

[@GageDrums]

It's really just about acquiring some knowledge! Once you know about how to go about the process and the steps involved you can make alot of stuff without screws or nails. I just built an end table with mortise and tenons only.. No screws and it is rock solid and will last generations. If it is something you're interested in learning it is very rewarding! Give it a shot!

[@gibstone23]

Such a cool stool, thanks

[@fishingforparis]

Very nice work! You are very talented.

[@albertoandrada67]

De lujo maestro muy bueno gracias por compartir que Díos te bendiga

[@MrJinga27]

Hey mate....l could watch you for hours.. and do watch your old vids too over and over...your a craftsman and a pleasure to watch work. Ignore the moaners and follow your own path. Great project.

[@kennethstewart2865]

Beautiful!

[@TM-zp1jh]

As always the design is dope. Your precision with hand tools is something to aspire to. Very impressive.

[@bobdunn1777]

lovely design

[@underthecoversrockduo]

The time-lapse on the sanding part of the tenons looked awesome. I love watching the chiselling part, even though It was time-lapsed I can appreciate the time you put into this. And, seeing how sharp your chisels and planes are compared to mine... I think I'll make something like this with my children. Thanks for showing us how to make it, bro. Really nice stool that.

[@robertkerby2581]

Well done!

[@josepcb2882]

Un buen trabajo, Felicidades. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalunya.

[@truebluekit]

Good to see you doing well, Jesse. Keep it up bro!

[@axemastersinc3269]

Can't wait till you make 1.000.000 subs. Outstanding work on every episode. Love ya man.

[@centurion2289]

Bonjour a toi désolé de parler en français mais mon anglais ainsi que mon japonnais sont vraiment très mauvais (samouraï). Je voulais juste te dire que cette après-midi tu m'a encore inspiré et que c'est toujours un plaisir de regardé . Merci vraiment

[@TheMiwer]

Good to see you again. Maybe it's time to invest in a CNC machine ?

[@bjaminf113]

Great video! Wish there was a little more focus on that bottom tenon joinery. Im a noob, but tried to recreate it with some scrap, and the angle of the mortise messed me up! 😆

[@djay6651]

Pegs and wedges look so much better than modern nails and screws.

[@hughjasole9336]

I really miss your older videos....the ones you used to make before Makers Mob and the school. Not many of real people can afford to pay for information that you got for free. I hope Neil's channel stays the same since he recently joined your mob. You were one of the true craftsman left.

[@neilhorsley343]

Hi Jesse, have just made a bench seat that needs sanding over then I can put it all together, it has the bench seat top with panel legs I partly noticed into top. Now the problem is I used one width of centre piece wood to hold the legs in place so the legs presently can flap about somewhat, do I need to get a wider underside board to correct this? Now at 6:40 mins that bar you got hold of is the bit done wrong, you have wedges pointing at each other while I have mine pointing towards me

[@davidcole333]

You make the difficult look easy! Beautiful work.

[@phooesnax]

Nice job. Very nice. Jim

[@orrinjohnson6504]

Dude, cutting that little shoulder for your flush trim bearing to ride on was CLUTCH!

[@ApexHerbivore]

Dunno much about routers, why was the shoulder thing a good idea?

[@prodriver12345]

@@ApexHerbivore the bearing follows the surface it is on, so the cutter part of the router bit cuts exactly the same as what the bearing is following.

[@ApexHerbivore]

@@prodriver12345 ah ok, gotcha.. thanks :)

Excelente!!! Me declaro tu fan número uno. Tienes los planos o medidas del banquito ?

[@christianchance5958]

Do not underestimate the importance of the tongue movement at 7:35 when doing precision work like this.

[@etownsend9116]

Yeah seriously. One wrong move and you can scar up the finished side.

[@lifeanywhere]

Awesome work, Jesse.

[@عبدالرحمنأبوعمر-م7ب]

[@gljo20]

Looks Great!

[@adrianluica6960]

I was waiting for your new project for a while now. Awesome work brother.

[@EquilibriaHealth]

Love it. Was great to see different techniques from the one I made, which seems very similar. Thank you.

[@wheres_bears1378]

I love how you always need a small factory to make these things.

[@pointerish]

You can do all of this by hand but it will take you a lot more time and a different set of skills.

[@adamison8895]

I made one of these a wile ago for my mum she loved it

[@mikemeister458]

Dude! I really enjoy what you’re doing. It’s motivating, inspirational, informative and a real pleasure to indulge in. Keep it up!

This is the reason I subscribed to your channel, fabulous!

[@fordguyfordguy]

what router bit are you using at 6:13 to get the backwards angle? like a 17 degree angle or thereabouts?

[@johnp1839]

How do you like using hold-fasts versus clamps for holding items to a bench?

[@joaoosenir7927]

Muito bem feito, parabéns. Fortaleza, Brasil.

[@ScottWells121683]

so stoked to see a new video from you!!

[@asmadimadi5194]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 amazing.

[@MartinMMeiss-mj6li]

Very nice stool, but one question: Why would you permanently wedge the legs to the top, but hold the stretcher between the legs with removable wedges?

[@jraschke]

That's absolutely beautiful.

[@beauregardduquesne3831]

I don’t see no link for the 6 project plans, sir. How to obtain your project plan’s?

[@michaelrobertson8795]

That's a pretty cool design I did a pecan one with the live wood Edge all the way around and claw feet.

[@sandyk6657]

This bench is gorgeous. This is what I want to build for my first mortise and tenon project. It may not be quite that fancy. What kind of wood is that? Looks like the dark pegs are walnut and the bench is white oak?

[@whazee]

Beautiful and perfect as always... sigh. 😍

[@yossiyaari3760]

very nice. I just didn't understand why you would have a joint that comes apart across the bottom, and one that is permanent on the top.

I enjoyed that. Thank you.

Nice project. How did you achieve the bevel cut with your router? Best regards.

[@Johsmit1]

“If you liked this video, give it a like and subscribe. If not, then f**k off.” 😂😂😂 I died hahaha

[@thetomster7625]

honest question regarding those designs: I do understand the joinery and all of that... what doesn't seem to enter my brain, are the curves and beautiful aesthetics of Japanese or at least Japanese-like designs. Are there rules to that (I don't know, like the golden Ratio or so on) or is it simply something that you draw freely? Tips on that would be welcome :) Thanks in advance.

[@ぬるぼっと]

[@adamblock7937]

Has anybody tried building this? I didn't see plans on the website. What measurements did you use?

[@Wayne-wo4ok]

Can anyone tell me what timber was used in this project thanks......

[@KoiAquaponics]

What is the wood type that you typically use for dowels? Is it those round bars that they sell at the home Depot store?

[@Balenza345]

Why no glue on the tenon wedges to hold the top on?
