How to Make Patterned Plane Shaving Veneers - Yosegi

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
This project wasn't plain sailing but I did manage to get some half decent shavings. There's plenty of improvements to be made next time I try this out but it was a fun project and I learned plenty too. :)
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I love how Neil’s "not the best" is better and more impressive than my life lol

it did look nice but always looking to improve is a good thing

Fantastic Neil! Your enthusiasm for trying new things and willingness to fail in order to learn is inspiring. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@PaskMakes]

No worries Tharemy! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@JuneSivell]

I too appreciate the silence, speaking when necessary. No music, or persistent dialogue, gives the viewer the opportunity to watch and admire your handicraft. I can't do woodwork, when I was at school boys did wood/metal work, girls knitting and embroidery. I love watching people who are talented in what they do. Thank you.

I didn't want move everything Moz, although that rack does need some organising.! :)

[@MarkMcCluney]

Yeah that was funny! Don't try this at home kids!

[@scania9786]

@@PaskMakes We all know, next time you need that wood that leftover will be just a little bit to short ;-)

[@boryscholewinski4370]

Wait! That's illegal.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

@@PaskMakes, that was awesome! 😂 I'd have ended up knocking all of that in the floor and having a big cussing fit lol

[@RobFulcher]

Watching a new Pask Makes video is one of my favorite ways to start a Saturday morning (Eastern US). 👍

[@stevesussex6997]

Love the silence while you’re working. Silence is a rare commodity in our current age.

[@skyskraberen]

If patience is a virtue then you must be one of the most virtuous people in the world. 😊👍🏻 Wonderful work.

[@cliffsclips5522]

Great again, always the best content. The kids and I are looking forward to the scrapwood week, we have missed the jingle.

[@tdkrei]

Dude, you have more patients than a diamond setter. Nice work and , keep on smiling.

[@yaemz123]

I really appreciate how you also show your mistakes. I do a bit of woodwork as a hobby, and I make lots of mistakes as I learn, but when watching most people, they hide their errors, which adds more frustration when I mess up.

[@Lakoda26]

I really love how you show your mistakes or imperfections. Seeing that happen to masters makes it easier to accept it in my amateur journey.

[@boxingpunchalot9521]

Good thing you do not shy away from your mistakes. I greatly learn from your vids because of that specific reason. Thank you

[@DaveJHarry]

Pretty. There's no way I'm making one of these, but I always get something out of your videos I can use. The guide at 21:19 is a genius move. Thank you, once again.

[@peterzeller5736]

Love the optimism. I tend to get discouraged when I don't do as well the first time trying something. Every next try is better than the first.

[@jonathanthacker3791]

That box is gorgeous and putting the piece of wood on the saw for releasing the lid??? Genus.

[@samanthadean1083]

You remember when you did those lamps for the scrap wood challenge? The ones made with plane shavings? The yosegi would be stunning as a shade!!! ❤️

[@DreadX10]

I agree, but when you turn the light on, you will see every detail (and flaw) in the pattern! Must be really, really precise in all dimensions (and the different woods used will have to behave the same when heated by the light).

[@louisvictor3473]

​@@DreadX10 Maybe not. From this we see that when glued to some plain wood, the mistakes on this one kinda vanish. IIRC he build the shavings up in thickness for the lamp, and the yosegi would only be the top layer, and the tiny wholes would fill up with varnish and vanish.

[@17Scumdog]

@@DreadX10 LED light bulb? They produce almost no heat

[@JohnBodoni]

I can only echo what others have said here. This little box is just amazing. If I had to describe the kind of work you do, I think I'd start with "painstaking". You are a true craftsman.

[@MarkMcCluney]

The thing with the flooring laminate is so clever. Thanks Neil, an education every time.

[@StuntdoubleS2]

Honestly, every one of these videos is zen. I watch one a day to get me chilled and focussed for working!

[@randywright7933]

That was awesome. Please keep making them in whatever varieties you so desire

[@uffekrog]

Would you like to see more patterns? Uhm yes please! I find it very relaxing to look at your videos. Straight forward and honest, when you make a mistake - and totally humble in regard to your breathtaking skill and enginuity

[@fryreartechnology7611]

That’s like showing off how skilled you really are. That’s amazing work and a testament to craftsmanship. Love it!

[@nobuckle40]

Doing something like this is truly a labor of love. The time and effort it takes to create such patterns really shows the skill of the craftsman.

[@suzisaintjames]

I would love to see more like this. Getting all of you successes and failures are invaluable! These only come from doing it again. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@earlye]

"It's not the best." Uhhhh... Beg to differ.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Thanks for the tutorial, it's incredibly laborious, but the result is amazing. I admire your patience. Have a nice day Radek

[@robbenge9914]

Beautiful job Neil, makes me admire the Japanese craftsman who did and probably still do all that work without the machines and glue we have today. Thanks for another very entertaining and easy to view video. Greetings from Perth West Australia.

[@TheVaktmejster]

Holy moly thats a lot of tools, time and skills needed for such a small detail. Bet not many people think of that when coming across a box like that!

[@ianspringer4743]

I could watch this man do his taxes and it would still be entertaining

[@msmith2961]

Wow, those Yosegi bookmarks went fast! It's good that you share these experiments and trials with everyone so we get a sense of what's really involved and what's possible. Looking forward to the 7 in 7 challenge!!!

[@JovemEverton]

I want a shirt with the saying "I reckon it turned out great".

[@randycosgrove3608]

Really enjoy seeing what you do. I've added this most recent to my growing list of "I've got to try that" things you've shown us. Thanks. Keep up the inspiration.

[@DennisSuitters]

Love this stuff Neil, looking froward to more, and I like how you leave the mistakes in.

[@carlosscharth]

Very complex....full of details. Congrats!!!👏👏👏

[@MonicaLNJ]

Absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see your future experiments! 🎉

[@tenaciousjsoto7990]

Enjoy your process, honesty and tenacity. Yeah, more videos!!!

[@HandyHelons]

After all your worries, I was fully expecting it to just fall apart so I was very pleasantly surprised. But I should have expected it to be fab because you make awesome stuff!!

[@jeffjackson2871]

You're a very humble man, "not the best" your work is always amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@bothann]

Beautiful result! Love the depth stop idea, will definitely use that on my next small box.

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Outstanding build, loved the box

[@sethtamwood5202]

These are so pretty! Definitely something I'd like to try someday, once I get my own workspace. Thank you for sharing this one, they're always incredibly interesting to see.

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

For someone like me who does not know anything about wood work this was awesome to watch. The fine detail in the patterns is amazing now I look with different eyes at all this intricate and fascinating work you do.

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@jcsrst]

LOVE IT! The vacuum bag is a real game changer for me and my wood working 😁

[@zhookeeper]

I've never seen the vacuum bags used before! Are they particularly heavy duty, or could you use the common clothes/Manchester storage vacuum bags do you think?

[@jcsrst]

@@zhookeeper They are generally heavy duty, specifically for woodworking. I believe he was using a budget model designed for making skateboard decks. I am sure people come up with homemade solutions.

Gorgeous project. The saw guide technique was a new one for me. Very clever. And yes, would love to see more videos of you exploring other Yosegi patterns and things to use them on.

Excellent Neil. Just excellent!

[@kiwdwks]

Awesome...thanks for sharing it! Always learn something from you...

[@panedrop]

That's awesome, I was literally thinking of mentioning Roarockit vacuum bags as a great way to press those veneers together.

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

Always surprising , always educational, always awesome! Thank for sharing your amazing abilities!

[@ozludo]

I love that trick tacking a guide onto the saw. Using heavy face bubblewrap as a work surface during glue-up is pretty slick too. Thank you for both of those. And please keep up with the yosegi - it's fascinating.

[@AlexKatWoodworking]

Love it! I want to try this pattern style soon on a table, I'll definitely be coming back to this video for more inspiration!

[@marcopolo1119]

Beautiful job. Congratulations.

[@andrewmason6688]

Phenomenal craftsmanship! The mistakes are a good indication that we are all human. :D

[@pjhalchemy]

Quite the treat Neil, Thank You! Enjoyed the whole process, from visualizing geometry of the pieces, choosing the wood/grains, to ripping 80thou veneer on a home made band saw (impressive), the intricate small piece cutting, massive messy glue up to final planing with masterful Patience all throughout the processes. Too bad the Black Wattle didn't work out, such a pretty wood and grain. Hope to see more of this type of work and looking forward to 7 in 7...obviously no Yosegi projects. ;-P Hat Tip! ~PJ

[@azashukri5322]

[@FrankDreban1]

Man, I love your content. Yosegi is on my list of fun stuff to try someday, along with Kumiko, Knapp joints, wooden hinges, etc when I retire (to many projects around the house, currently, with also working full time). Thanks for laying out the process. I always appreciate that about your videos. And taping the piece of wood with that fancy tape gun to your pull saw to use against the table as an offset was brilliant. And I would KILL for a drum sander. haha.

[@keeponpainting]

Never seen that before. I enjoyed the whole video. Thankyou.

[@charlvanniekerk8009]

Thank you very much sir for your incredibly high quality videos! I learn so much from you and cant wait to one day try out all those tips you've given me and ofcoarse the pattern you are attempting in the video! You are and will probably always be my favourite youtuber. Thank you for being such an incredible person and craftsman ❤

[@makkmarcipan]

very very good, great workmanship, master great!
