You and Ishitani are definitively the best woodworkers offering videos on youtube. Your woodworking practice is amazing, the furnitures you make are so carefully designed and your videos are perfectly edited. It is always a pleasure to watch them. I also need to make a walnut table (80 cm x 80 cm, 50 cm height) and you gave me an idea where to start from. Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland.

[@gstanley75]

What gives with Isitani? He hasn’t posted for months. I miss his work.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@dducir]

No way a table so beautiful you covered it with wood...all the beauty is hidden. I would love to see glass on that frame!

[@evernhamanderson]

A great design study on how to take dead-square stock and make a really elegant finished result. Another beautiful creation.

[@rad608]

Beautiful but wow, all that joinery to then cover up 80% of it...maybe some type of glass top?

[@ribosomeone855]

Theres something extremely satisfying in seeing those pieces fit and come together

[@ryderscustomcreations3665]

What’s the real star of the show? The table, joinery, the workshop, workbench, the artist, the tools (love the t square ruler and brand), the view??! So much to love in this video!

[@Master_Blackthorne]

This table is a work of art. It shows the beauty of Japanese joinery and craftsmanship. It is a pleasure to just look at its beauty!

[@cherrieluu4590]

kind of wish you could have put glass on the top so people could the craftsmanship of the actual table!! still a great table!

[@cherrieluu4590]

I have been thinking about this table for the last two day and I just REALLY WANT THE TABLE TO BE GLASS. I feel like the craftsmanship of the table is hidden under the wooden top and IT MAKES ME ANGRY!! I would buy it if I had the money and a glass top

[@elefantspidsmus]

This is beautiful. Much to learn here. There are many-many choices, that are made in the structure and the measurements. Just by making a 3D-model (in eg. Blender) of the table for a study will teach you this. So much precision. Also super nicely filmed. But most of all: it is always a great joy to watch a master performing his art. Mastery represents many generations of experience and mastery. Although modern power tools are useful, the Kobeomsuk Master clearly shows, that everything is possible with a measure, a pencil, a hand saw, a chissel, a drill, a planer and some glue. All of which are thousands of years old. The clamps may not be that old, but it can be done by tightening a rope with a stick. Simlicity is beauty. Thank you for the lesson and the joy!

[@cjl76]

Such talented craftsmanship. Though I think I'd prefer a glass tabletop so the beauty of the joinery could be admired

[@StevenJamesPorter]

Thank you for the video! You're my favourite furniture builder on KZbin!

[@stevenmcintyre2]

Beautiful craftsmanship! For those questioning the use of screws to attach the top, I believe it serves two purposes. First, if done right it allows for seasonal expansion of the table top wood. And second, it makes disassembly so much easier when the table will inevitably need to be moved (fitting through doorframes, reduce weight of table, etc.). It's a very common practice among fine furniture table makers.

[@leolernbegleitungzitamorke6346]

I'm convinced that a craftsman like him has his good reasons! But I was really curious about a wood-only solution 😏

[@JoziGB]

Can't I just come carry your tools and help you carry wood around. This is just pure art!

I love what you do and more particularly, the way you do it. 30 years ago, I studied Toshio Odate and fell in love with traditional Japanese woodworking and all its aspects. It changed my life. You remind me of those fundamentals - it is good to be reminded. Lastly, your video is lovely.

Well done. Looks elegant and very strong. I love the double single board top and the double at the bottom of the frame.

[@craigwoodcraft8632]

Absolutely stunning work as always. What is the design reasoning behind the 25mm gap down the centre of the table please?

[@jeffwilliamson6305]

In design I think it's called "empty space". It also allows those seated at the table to have a view of the base.

[@craigwoodcraft8632]

Interesting. I know of shadow gaps in architectural design so I guess the same principle is applied to furniture design?

[@terenceb8053]

A glass table top would have been perfect to appreciate the joinery, it looks awesome.

All that wonderful intricate joinery to just screw on the tabletop?!?! An amazing piece nonetheless

[@russnixon6020]

That struck me as odd as well. A fox-joint mortise and tenon would go well there.

[@carlospinheirotorres9499]

my thoughts exactly... fine piece nonetheless -- @Russ Nixon's suggestion of the fox was a simple and deserving solution for instance

[@Artemiy_Manannikov]

Спасибо за видео. Весна. Тепло. Хорошее настроение. Руки золотые. Стол бесценный. Удачи.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

Seems a shame to hide all that joinery under a solid table top. That would be a prime candidate for a 1" thick glass table top instead. It would be heavy -- probably around 200 lbs for a 30"x72" table top. Of course, that weight would mean that you would not need to attach it to the base since it would pretty much hold it in place.

[@kimfucku8074]

The music makes all the difference!

[@glennebel5403]

For those of you who have taken exception to the use of screws to attach the table top, how would you have made the attachment?

[@shanefoster2132]

Those four posts, have them extend further so that they go up through the table top. Split them so that you can use a shim as done lower on the piece then cut, plane, and sand to smooth. Or possibly a sliding dovetail on the long pieces just underneath, using bigger length pieces so that they extend above level of legs. I would assume. I'm sure it is possible but nothing wrong with it as is, beautiful. I'm certainly not that experienced or capable... yet. lol. regardless, great piece and fine craftmanship. Obviously, I don't take exception to the use of screws for this.

[@MiniaturePlayer]

Do all that fine work just to screw the top on. This is what I was thinking.

[@brucea550]

@@shanefoster2132 definitely sliding dovetail.

[@khaledarisheh6697]

@@shanefoster2132 I was thinking the same thing

[@RandomRockHero]

Ive been thinking about this too. Maybe:: .add sliding dovetails to the bottom of the top. Make them stand out quite a bit. Attach to the top. .plane the cheeks of the sliding dovetails square to the top. They should line up with the stretchers. .secure with a slightly drawbored dowel through stretcher and sliding dovetail. If you make the sliding dovetails to fit nicely within the undercarriage lengthwise it will stop movement in that direction. The drawbore stops movement orthogonally and stops the top from lifting out. What do you think?
