I really like the way most of your videos contain the words "I made a mistake", followed by "here is how I fixed it". It's so much more genuine that the show reel types who hide their mistakes.

[@RIPPER334]

He's the real deal... Most "KZbinrs" would edit out errors... This guy isn't afraid or ashamed to let anyone know he made a mistake. ...and better yet, he always goes one better, and explains the fix for it! Good stuff!! Love this channel!

So refreshing to see someome say, "I did this, and it didn't work. So next I tried this!" Craftsmanship is ever evolving. Beautiful work.

Never before known anyone more likely to see a craft and immediately think 'Yeah, I'll have a go at that. '

[@geirkselim2697]

If I had the same tools and materials as pask I'd be following along at home. Unfortunately my supply of scrap hard wood is not as impressive and I don't have nearly as much experience.

[@BurkeMakesStuff]

Just wanted to give you a word of thanks. I’m in NYC and started my own YT channel about a year ago. It’s doing really well with around 8k subs so far, but in the face of all this Covid-19 garbage, I’ve just really lost my motivation. I’m a teacher so all education here is on the internet. Sitting in front of a computer all day is just killing my creativity and this video really has me ready to get back into the shop. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you! Thank you, a lot!

[@JoelWetzel]

I appreciate that you don't edit out your mistakes. How you deal with them is as instructive as the other stuff you do and leaving them in also makes you more relatable than those who always seem to get it right, especially if they're using Powermatic, Festool, or other such prime equipment. Peace.

[@ATONAL6173]

[@adamcturnbull]

I live in Japan and never seen anything this beautiful and I own a real Yosegi plane too !! Thank you so much for showing how to make such gorgious veneer. You get my vote for the scrapwood challenge.

[@fredrichardson9761]

I have always loved wood boxes and collected them as a kid. How any of those nice boxes are made was a complete mystery to me and lets just say my shop class attempts were humorous at best ;) It is wonderful to peek behind the veil and see how it done! Thank you for sharing the remarkable steps and your skill in designing and building a box like that! I never would have guessed that you would construct the whole box first and then create the lid at the very end by sawing off the top - genius! Also wonder to have some notion of how one would do DIY veneer!

[@robbo9566]

Your skill, craftsmanship and attention to detail are quite amazing, your projects and imagination are most probably the best on KZbin. I'm an old school woodwork teacher of many years, now retired and you fascinate me, but you do something that ruffles my feathers and it's something I taught students the first time they used a Jack plane, put it away in the rack when you finish with it, always lay the plane on it's side with the blade facing away from you when resting before reusing it. Most will understand why, but just for those who do not, 1. Lay the plane on its side, this prevents the blade cutting the bench top and also by resting the plane on its soleplate the blade can get damaged and pushed back into the plane, which then needs readjusting. 2. Rest the plane on its side with the blade facing away from you, this prevents the user accidentally grazing their hand across the blade, a sharp blade slices skin equally as well as timber. I hope you'll rectify this bad habit, and continue to show newbies to wood craft the right way and safe way to do things.

[@masterxyr]

A beautifully creative man. Well done!! I can't remember the name of it, but the Japanese art of doing things methodologically and intently, is a way of living too. Yes it takes a lot of time, but they're not rushing, they will do the task and devote the time the task requires. Something we should remind ourselves of in the West more. Don't rush through washing the dishes. Clean them with intent, and pay attention, or as others would say, be in the moment. We will one the lose the art of patience if not.

[@cat-.-]

Shyir I think the Japanese way of art and living is called wagyu iirc

[@veronicatrudel7606]

You are quite the craftsman sir. This was amazing. That green machine may be the coolest tool I have ever seen. I have to make a lot of picture frames and that would make my life so much easier!

[@willowscottling]

There's more work and craftsmanship put in that little box that in any piece of furniture in my entire house. It's beautiful.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

I've been playing around with doing this for the past few weeks. I've been getting a lot of tear out as I didn't think about cutting a miter on the strips. Definitely going to give this another go. Thanks Pask, much appreciated 👍👍

[@PaskMakes]

The first block I did (not shown) the pattern was 90° to the plane and didn't work well at all. I then realised that most patterns in Yosegi are skewed and that must be the reason why. I cut that block up on an angle, re-glued it, tried again and was much better. :)

[@philipparendt5787]

One of my all time favourite videos. The process of getting to the pattern is just so pleasing to watch and the Yosegi turned out great. Thank you for your work, Neil! Such a shame the bookmarks sold out so quickly, I’d really love to have one. Please make some more!

Great job and it was fun to see you solve each problem one at a time

[@MRrwmac]

Neil, Absolutely amazing work! You gave yourself a real challenge that time and it worked out great! I made a little box for my first daughter when she was small and she still has it for some small jewelry at 49.

[@professorbellorum]

I have one suggestion for a cool effect: When you make the initial box -- before veneering, cut the sides and add the friction inserts. Apply the veneer to the already cut box, with appropriate sizing, being careful to mark where you'll need to cut (with a knife) along the seams in the box between the body and the lid. Now, cut with a knife instead of a saw -- if you're careful you'll be able to completely hide the seams when the box is closed. I bet it'll be quite hard/finicky to get right, but it would be pretty cool to see it work.

[@abz124816]

To find creativity and humility in the same person is rare. You have it in abundance.

[@IanSmithKSP]

You’re now a part of the extremely small club of people who know how to do this in your country. I actually liked the orderly and jagged look of your original arrangements too.

[@mcdoodlesnap]

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

Crimson guitars has an interesting project where they are sending out guitar kits to makers for them to customize. All for charity. You may want to contact them and get involved. These scrap wood challenges are amazing and I’d love to see some of these ideas applied to a guitar.

[@avisato9950]

Looks fantastic! There’s a lot of variation between different people’s techniques even within the traditional craftspeople - you’re well within the range of procedures that even the purists would like. You might have better luck with a lower-angle Japanese plane or, possibly, by using a low-angle bench plane in the opposite direction. You get less power on a pull stroke but putting constant pressure is easier and it can avoid tearing. Have to admit, you’re getting far better results than I ever have. Beautiful work.

[@karlekstrom7017]

Beautiful work and truly inspiring. The wood for my project is due to arrive in the next couple days and I'm excite because I've never done a project like this before. I'm using red oak or regular oak and bog oak to make the handle of a cane. I'm nervous because the bog oak is between 2000 and 5000 years old and I'm worried that I might make a mistake that can't be corrected. But I've earned from watching your videos that with woodworking, that's the only way you get better. You're projects are amazing, I can't wait to see the next one!

[@jerry-p]

Everytime I watch one of your videos I learn a new technique or a new way of looking at woodworking. Thanks!

[@lamortexotique]

These videos are helping me develop patience. So much integrity and work ethic! I am not a woodworker but I think sometimes you learn skills from a different trade and can apply it to your own trade. Amazing work!

[@JoshMiller3]

I'm surprised that Pask is a photographer, but then again I'm not because the video always looks great. A little mind blown. Is there a Pask Makes photography channel??

[@PaskMakes]

No photography channel Josh. My photography was from a few years ago and since making KZbin videos I don't have the time for it any more. I may revisit it someday. :)

[@joepie221]

[@johnandress1233]

Pask you are so good at finding unique and challenging ideas for your projects. This one I have to try. Also back in the early 90's I was very deep into fine art black and white photography. I did all my work on a 4'x5' field camera using film. I loved the challenges both from behind the lens and in the dark room. I loved it so much that when digital pretty much took over and it began to be hard to find supplies, I put my camera on the shelf. You are a very talented photographer, your work is very impressive. It is very obvious to me that you work very hard at what you do, and it shows.

[@hette666]

At my school we have a mitre guillotine, i haven't used it very much, but when i used it (or saw others use it) only one side was used at a time. The way he used it for making the box was like, wow (when i made boxes with 45 degree angles i used the table saw, which is anoying for small boxes and you have double the work because you need to cut each side seperatly). From now on i will not waste time for things that can be so easy. :)

[@lebensschueler]

[@IncogSkbb021]

The videos I have seen usually have bigger pieces of wood making up the pattern. I see a lot of triangles made with a core piece then a few wide but skinny strips for the outsides. And a lot of rectangles and squares. Usually they are all made individually, glued together then, lengths cut into shorter pieces glued together to make the final pattern. Usually like 3 to 5 glue ups depending on the pattern and how many shapes are used in the final block. I say all this knowing that I wouldnt even be able to come close to what you accomplished here. Only helping where I can by sharing what i have seen. You do amazing work. Thank you for sharing your content with us.

Hey Pask... If you were to use a rope tied to the front of your plane, and have a helper pull while you apply downward pressure, you will get a much smoother result.
