I just got in to hand tool woodworking and stumbled on to your channel and I love it. Watching this video where you're like eh, not perfect but it works kinda helps out. A nice reminder to take it easy and just make it.

[@Johansentrae]

Been a while, understandably. Congrats I always enjoy and learn something.

Good to see you back to work. Nice cabinet. Totally functional and it looks good too. Heard a shout out from the new apprentice. Is he packing his own lunch yet? Thanks again, take care and best to the family.

[@1ll1l1liiililiillilliillli4]

Love the tape clamping trick! Very clever.

[@thomastittlemier2104]

A good build or a bad build, as you can tell by the comments, it's good to have you back. Great video.

[@neilf4128]

Whao... I thought we lost you there. So glad to see you again. I haven't watched yet, I just needed to show you love first. I'll watch later.

Refreshing change from big workshops with lots of tools. Amazing what you can do in a balcony with skill and determination. Have you thought of putting foam or something under your bench to deaden the chiseling blows and keep your neighbors happy? New sub from Spain.

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Honestly my neighbors never seemed to care when I did work like this. I live in a house now so it's a little different. I just always made sure to do it at normal times of day and not super late at night or crazy early in the morning

[@Glassed_in_Nature]

Good to see you building again !

[@rclamond]

Happy to see another video. As long as you're happy with it, I think it's great. Perfect is the enemy of done.

[@andreicharpentierquesada4530]

I have a little question. Why do you sand it if you planed it?

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Kanna like mine don't really do so well on super hard/figured woods like this. I was advised by a few of my Japanese carpenter friends to just sand it. There are Kanna that are made with a higher blade angle to allow for better results on hard/figured wood but I don't have one of those yet.

[@andreicharpentierquesada4530]

@@Lemongrasspicker believe it or not you have solve one of the biggest enigmas of my life. i always asKed myself why my Kana have just 40 degrees and why people sand before plane. thaKs :)

[@Cleveland_Rocks]

Another fun video, I appreciate your “woodworking fir apartment dwellers” spirit. Keep practicing your skills!

[@Mutant_11]

Just found you. Watching this for the first time and enjoying it.

[@NeoYAG]

Hi! I have the same space issues! Can I ask where do you find your kanna and chisels? I live on the east coast of the USA and not sure where to get Japanese tools.

[@Cleveland_Rocks]

I got a lot of tools of eBay, and Woodcraft, it’s a big chain that bought up the Japan Woodworker.

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Ebay is an amazing resource. You just have to get good at rust removal and setup work

[@rollingstone3017]

You are truly the minimalist woodworker! Reminds me of some Vietnamese woodworker videos I’ve seen, where they use their feet as a lathe! Amazing what people can do with just so few tools.Hats off to you and your very enjoyable channel. Are those high end planes you use, or the garden variety one gets at Woodcraft?

[@Lemongrasspicker]

They're not high end. Most of the ones I use I got off of eBay, but the Lie Nielsen would be considered high end. The one kanna I use regularly that's about a 70mm is a middle of the road one. In general I just use garden variety stuff or unique looking pieces I run across.

[@EricMeyerMaker]

Welcome back!

[@grantwilliams630]

Damn bro you hit that line perfect on that first ryoba cross cut.

[@Lemongrasspicker]

I got lucky with that one lol

[@grantwilliams630]

@@Lemongrasspicker I’ve done a few of those and they are shockingly difficult

[@gorgeousGeorg]

Glad to see u back!!..keep it up

[@thegoldend6]

I can now say, "Why yes, I do remember where I was when the Great Grill Uprising began!"

[@BatiJuampe]

Hello man, just a question. Why are you sanding instead of using that great kana you have there? There's really no need for sanding!

[@Lemongrasspicker]

To be honest Kanna don't do so well on super figured wood like this. I asked a few of my Japanese carpenter friends and they actually advised me to sand it down if you can't get it uber clean. There are kanna with higher blade angles that are made for harder/figured woods but I don't have one of those yet.

[@BatiJuampe]

@@Lemongrasspicker Oh that's good to know! I also had to sand a table the other day, in this case because of the different grain directions. Hope you get a kanna for harder woods. Thanks for answering :)

[@longobardirino]

Good job! Greetings from Italy.

[@512banana1]

i see you were gonna build a guitar w/ that back piece hahaha

[@soberlivingwithbrianfrankl8254]

Omg! I was just thinking of u yesterday!!! Freaky!

[@tinycuisine6544]

Oh, and I want some chicken too🙂🙂

[@scannon90]

I always thought you stuck to readily available tools, but I happen to know that the shipping on that Lie-Nielsen low-angle jack plane to Japan is over 100 bucks.

[@Lemongrasspicker]

I don't live in Japan? That plane was a gift from an old friend who gave it to me before he passed away.

[@Cleveland_Rocks]

Stephen, be nice.
