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!

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.

[@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. :)

I used to work at a custom picture framing gallery back in the early 80's and they had one for cutting the material for all the custom made frames. havent seen one since so seeing this one today brought back memories for me.

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!

[@ATONAL6173]

You beauty! Such a great idea and you enable us all to be a little less afraid and a little more prepared for chasing our own personal wood dream! Bookmarks! Genius!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - glad you're enjoying the videos! :)

[@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.

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-.-]

[@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. :)

[@sanankynaston9925]

IMHO, the Yosegi strips look very good, and the little box you made is just gorgeous! Fabulous video, as always.

[@hoganmaughan3273]

the piece you turned out of a scrap block looked like it would make some incredibly unique door handles for cabinets/drawers!!!!

[@ozludo]

That was lovely to watch. It seems like a trivial idea (others in the comments are much better), but you could create a parquetry floor for a dolls house.

[@jerry-p]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@gibbyrp]

Wow. I find myself loving your work, and equally despising you for it because you have more talent in your fingernail than i have in my body. Keep them coming!

[@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!

[@RIPPER334]

[@firechicken2011]

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. I have seen Japanese and Indian woodworkers use this method with great success. Applying smooth constant movement will prevent the tearing. As always, awesome work once again.. Keep it up.

[@thomasarussellsr]

I rather like the box. I think figuring out how to replicate some quilting patterns like the "log cabin", the "lone star", and the "flying doves" would make for interesting patterns for gifts to those who quilt, or anyone who loves quilting patterns period. Figure out how to assemble your logo from scrappy wood and lay it into a pattern that can be shaved for inlay like this. The side projects are quite nice too. Love the mini-bowl, the pendant, and especially the book mark. Well done, Pask.

[@johndeerdrew]

[@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.
