This was a really fun project! Some people would hate the idea of making kumiko and would find it tedious but I love it. Even the epoxy pour went well which is something I haven't done before.

It’s so refreshing to find a content creator who values quality in their videos, everything you make has such a high standard, I love it!!

I totally agree.

Thanks very much Dan! :)

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

Beautiful! Imagine how beautiful the frame holding the kumiko grid between two pieces of glass would look as a dormer window! Wow!

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

Brilliant! I love your use of clever jigs. Almost every video has at least one jig that could be a video in itself. Really appreciate you sharing your ingenuity with us all.

[@PaskMakes]

No worries Tharemy - glad you enjoyed it! A video isn't quite the same without a jig or two! ;)

[@mikecurtin9831]

@@PaskMakes That circle tapering jig for the table saw is ingenious.

[@jbh.6257]

You should make a link to the jigs you made !!! They are just as important as the final product. :)

[@triciac.5078]

Yes I was just thinking that myself! I would love to see how you make everything that helps you make the final product.

[@thomasarussellsr]

@@triciac.5078 yeah, I'd love to see the tablesaw vertical bevel cutting jig for the tabletops, video. That is a quite interesting looking jig. Is it adjustable for different circumference circles? What about a "smoke-box" version for an oval table top? Would that be possible?

[@stephendoherty1275]

When someone makes tools to make a tool to make a product is considered a Master of their field. You sir, are a Master Craftsman of Wood. You are such a Jig-Master as well! I am afraid too many viewers do not understand what was truly invested in your projects. I do understand most are looking for a quick entertainment vid only. Your quick vids takes all the patience out of a project. That somehow, I believe, those patience are "lost in translation" and not conveying the true integrity of your genius, artful works. I also understand needing to edit out the boring and repetitive stuff, however your "Master Plan" is revealed so effortlessly. The time laps and time skips are a great help with that. I wonder if time stamps would help to show the gravity of these amazing projects? I just think your work is underappreciated some how... Perhaps not and it is very much understood and properly coveted. I hope so - Thank you Sir.

[@FixitFingers]

Well said Stephen! Neil's patience is legendary... second only to his wife's I believe who loses a husband down the shed for "Cutting a few Kumiko" only to see him emerge a few days later 😅

[@matthewharvey8755]

That is a brilliant idea! Definitely need more likes on your comment to draw attention lol

[@lloydgarland4667]

I agree, I don't think "genius" is too strong a word, the guy is a master craftsman!

[@tylerkrug7719]

Agreed. There is alot of work going into these projects, on the wood working side of things, let alone the filming and editing. Talented man to say the absolute least. Just amazing!

[@nicmasterdude]

Don't worry, it's not lost on us. It's why we watch every single video this legend puts out. Niel's work is something to aspire to.

[@SuperNovaSirius]

When you were shaving off the edged for the tiny pieces of the Kumiko, I couldn't help but smile. It was so delicate and loving. Thank you for sharing your work. It is absolutely incredible. ♥

[@alfrendell5598]

Brilliant I never thought I would actually like a resin pour table. You are so patient, this is without a doubt the best resin pour table project I have ever seen.

[@marcusretaken72]

Brilliant work... I love how you keep combining your existing skills with other skills you are learning. It's inspiring and wonderful to watch!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Marcus! I love learning new things too! :)

[@Lutzboater]

My math abilities have always left something to be desired, but, just roughly, you made over 4ooo cuts with your chisel on the smallest pieces. Beautiful workmanship and amazing patience.

[@THEedcbb3]

4800, assuming every cut was done perfectly with the 2 passes....jeezus Christ my hands are cramping just thinking about that....what an absolute legend

[@THEedcbb3]

4800...plus the 6 extra cuts per piece at the edge....of which I think there's around 90....so 5340 total....bloody hell

[@susandeily-swearingen1053]

[@shoestringworkshop8374]

Fantastic and original. I have watched it twice and will watch it several more times before I try a grid such as yours. I have built many of your jigs to help me with my LITTLE furniture shop. Thanks for your videos.

Beautiful work again👍. Mountain of patience as you/we like it. I think that all project deserves to have original wood not a scrap wood but absolutely love your challenges 😉. If the ring is made of one color not being disturbed by dark pcs. All look will be top level. But still it is superb. Hat down.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! If I were to make it again I would find better matching pieces. I had a bunch of pieces with not much length (along the grain) so I decided to use them for the ring. :)

[@brienelwoodwashburn2839]

This really speaks to me. The creativity in the jigs and construction is wonderful, and the satisfaction you get after creating something you’ll use and look at for years to come is unparalleled. I’m an inventor at heart. Ever since I was a child I’ve liked making things, and as an adult I realize a significant portion of my free time is spent thinking about projects or working on them. This video is inspiring me to follow that passion to invent and create even more. I’m currently a computer engineer, and I’ve been aggressively saving for quite awhile as I look for what I really want. The more I think about it the more I want a shop and the freedom to create in the ways you do. Maybe I’ll take the plunge and document it on KZbin like you have. If I can make content with even half the quality of your videos I’d be thrilled.

[@defender_of_wonder]

Hi Pask Makes, I follow you from Italy and here is a really bad time with Covid-19, I follow all your videos and I've always wondered what type of wood (essence) your scrapswood is, it looks like a really nice and solid wood, I know you are Australian and I don't really know what kind of woods there are, if you can give me an answer I would be grateful to you, congratulations for all your works which are always very beautiful and interesting, my father was a cabinetmaker restorer (carpenter) so a little chewing on wood, sorry for my translation and congratulations.
