[@avrahamgoldberg9731]

I'm sorry for your family's loss. I am incredibly impressed with your work and kudos to you for pushing the envelope with this design!

[@jennifereckerman862]

He would be very proud of you. A very special tribute! So sorry for your loss.

[@saggioculo5386]

I agree...what an awesome tribute to your Grandpa. Truly came out brilliant.

[@jarredmattingly5369]

Well done, sir. Keen idea with the jigsaw finger jointer!

[@jimpike3489]

Hi Josh, sorry for your loss, you are not using your grandfather's death you are honouring it with building him a resting place. Total respect. The use of Kumiko in the urn is beautiful and I hope your grandmother loved the finished urn. Well done Josh

[@gsilcoful]

Sorry for your loss Josh. My condolences to your Grandmother and all your family.

[@allenwilson9656]

So sorry Josh for your loss 🙏. Actually makin somethin like that is therapy. I made a grave surround for my dad when he passed I know how you feel. May your grandpa rest in peace

[@jambartow]

Just lost my grandmother a couple weeks ago - I am so sorry for your loss man. Watching you do this for your grandpa was great, I would be proud if I were you. Love the projects, can't wait for what's next.

[@almaggart8138]

I am sorry for your families loss, that box exemplifies your families love for him. Nicely done

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I'm sure your grandfather is honored by your love invested in this project.

[@gungasam3000]

This year was tough enough without adding a personal loss to it. I'm sorry for your family's loss. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@toddozaki3318]

Loved watching this and listening to you talk about your family. Congrats on this project!

[@julietphillips1991]

Grandpa is proud and I am sure all your family are also. I can't see the defects at all...it looks great! So much detail and tiny details too! You should start engraving your work.

[@user-tu4zf5ll3w]

Great Gob!😎

[@thomasarussellsr]

Sorry for your loss. However, this is a beautiful tribute that I am sure your grandfather would be proud to know he would be resting in. Prayers for peace and warm memories instead of concentrating on the loss for you and you family. I have lost all my grandparents now and know what it feels like. Just hold on to the good times when the feelings of loss or missing him/them hit you hardest. It helps. It really is a beautiful box. Well done.

[@robertratcliff8187]

That was a wonderful way to honor your grandfather. I also learned something new. You're the first person I've seen make a kumiko. I'm going to learn how to make them. Cool design.

[@spike7703]

truly awesome skills and you challenged yourself even more with this one. what a wonderful way to show honor to your grandfather. Like many others here I'm very sorry for your loss.

[@cindyharrison4191]

He'd be very proud.

[@CMRWoodworks]

That jig saw finger joint jig caught me off-guard. Stinking cool man!

[@pteddie6965]

I agree with Avraham. This was a difficult and intricate design. I think that you did a great job. It is attractive as pictured in the final picture, but I'm sure that you will continue to perfect your Kumiko designs and building technique. Thanks for sharing this design with us.

[@artlee7415]

Sorry for your loss. We can be our own worst critics but you did a remarkable job.

[@chrischavis7287]

Beautiful

[@shripadlale7476]

Beautiful! And a cool finger joint jig!

[@FreemenMars1]

Nice MN shirt… fellow statesman

[@frankssawdustfactory3872]

I made a box for my father's ashes 5 yrs ago. I made it to resemble an old wooden tackle box of his. Eternally fishing. I understand.

[@jurockclimb]

First off, my condolences. Second, I had watched this video without sound so I didn’t realize it’s purpose until I read after. During the video I kept thinking “wow what patience and discipline it would take to finish a project like that”. Understanding what it’s for, it makes it very clear. Beautiful work

[@MatthewSherriff85]

Great idea mate, i would like to make something similar for my dads ashes

[@mitziseyfferdt3866]

Josh, I don't want you thinking I am some creepy old woman, but I respect your work, I am 48 and live in South Africa. I only started with woodworking about 3 years ago and I still have so much to learn, I'vehad zero firmal training, only youtube. I really admire your talent and creativity and boy oh boy you can teach us all a thing about how not to waste wood. Great job, keep it up and stay safe.

[@paulbate1250]

It is an incredible box, your Kumiko is outstanding. I am very sorry for your loss and honoring him this was is impressive, way to go. That said, you had me wincing a few times while you were routing out the rabbets and crosscutting with a fence. Please understand this isn't said with anything other than a genuine concern for your safety: Crosscutting with a fence is a huge kickback risk, and can end your woodworking career pretty quick. Again, fantastic work, keep it up!

[@lancemcillahroy1115]

This is a great send off

[@homewurks1]

Amazing!

[@draco5991rep]

It doesn't feel like you're exploiting anything here, I think it is a beautiful way of paying respect to your grandfather and the end product is simply beautiful. I bet you grandfather would be very proud.

[@mikehill3426]

Looks great. I make kumiko too. Nobody ever notices the gaps.

[@Bravo-ry9st]

You have to look from your perspective. What would you want for your grandchildren. How ever we can help our family after we are gone is the reason we still live.

[@yinn2yang]

wow

[@oooo-pq5rf]

japanese traditional craftwork? where did you master? amazing. beautiful. lucky grandpa!

[@lynnlamastres3424]

Josh, I very recently subscribed and I love your work and your videos. I am sure your grandpa was very proud of you. The box is gorgeous and I'll bet your grandma loves it and appreciates the thought and the work that went into it. I want to mention that my ex-husband (a very experienced woodworker)was routing a piece of trim with his fingers in front of the bit when the bit grabbed the wood and pulled his fingers into the bit. Before he realized what happened, he lost two fingers and most of two more. Please don't cut toward your fingers. Find a different way to hold the workpiece down. I'm sorry if I am speaking out of turn and I know that you are a very good woodworker with experience with your tools, but I worry. :\

[@gretad9044]

Hey Josh, can you tell me a bit about your finger joint jig on your jigsaw? Did you make it/are there plans for some online?

[@lostsoul7136]

Mate, don't undersell yourself....this is a beautiful piece and tribute to your grandfather.

[@yeahrightlol8573]

Sorry for your loss. Great work Can you fix the audio going forward? It's really low I have to use closed captions

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

I was not aware there was an issue. I will make the volume higher in the future.

[@yeahrightlol8573]

@@JoshWrightWoodworking awesome. Your work is great. I'm sure you will be at 100k before the end of 2021

[@duczman76]

which tablesaw do you have? is it a dewalt and when yes which model? i have the dwe 7492 and it's the best tablesaw i've ever had.

[@sandraclark4407]

So sorry to hear of the death of your Grandpa.

[@kennethboucher6073]

not a comment, but a question, what is the name brand of your miter saw?

[@jimcooksey812]

try to epoxy fill the kumiko.... slow cure clear... or grandpa's favorite color....

[@user-ku1bo4iz6v]

The biggest mistake is to stop a saw after pull up. Be careful

[@scottcountryman6090]

Where’s that finger joint jig video. User error I can’t find it. I know you made one. I want to learn to make those finger joints with my jig saw

[@msk3905]

Wait a minute how do you still have all of your fingers using a Harbor Freight Central Electric power tool? Everyone online says that they would never use any tool from HF that could hurt you because they are built so poorly that you have to use something like Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita. Yes I’m being sarcastic, I had the same miter saw as you before I upgraded it ran it hard trouble free.
