Definitely an upvote for the educational content! One thing on the video editing side of things, If you don't think what you're talking about is going to come through clearly on video, whip out your phone and take a photo to splice into the video. Things like Pencil lines are much easier to see in a focused photo. The best part is there's no need to stop the video recording to do it and the photos will be in order on your phone making it pretty easy to know which photo to splice into the video next as you're editing.

Dude I’ve been watching on and off for YEARS. You’re a great guy and it’s normal to have ups and downs in life. Keep your head high in the lows. But also feel those moments of sadness and embrace them. I get so much healing from feeling my sadness rather than running from it. Praying for you good sir

Hey I don't usually comment, but I've been watching your stuff for years, heard about your injury and that you've been a little down on your views and stuff, but I really enjoyed the way you took the time to explain all your tips and tricks. I'm an at home woodworker, built timber frame patio and porch deck and small projects around the house. I wanted to try your impressive joinery but been too intimidated by it until now. Thanks for your hard work. That video deserves a million views.

Hey Jessee, I do agree on using the saw holding it farther from the blade, I also like to hold it kind of loose a bit like holding a badminton racket, I find it tracks better. You, good sir, brought my attention to Japanese saws years ago and I can never be thankful enough for that. Cheers brother, be well!

I loved this video. This is what made me follow you years ago, and even I loved your videos the whole time, I really found myself enjoying this more than the Island-projects. Thank you! And, it's not boring looking at the prosess - sometimes I felt I was missing out on something when you speeded up the video and I still could hear your voice, but not your words. This reminds me of your old content. I loved it!

I hope you're doing better all around. Thanks for doing the videos. Its probably a little boring doing joinery 101 but its helping more people than you realize. It will keep your mind sharp while you're healing. What I would like to see is how you scribe posts to stone. I saw you do that years ago. You are a true craftsman!

@robertwhiteley-yv1sy 28 күн бұрын

This may sound like a bad idea but I would enjoy listening to you you talk about your creative process. I see some greene and greene inspiration in some of your work. It would great to know what carpenters fire-up the samurai. On a more personal note, I really respect you, Jesse. Not just because of your dedication to your craft, but the dedication to your family and your resilience. In those dark moments when things seem impossible and you think you can’t succeed I hope you know that the vast majority of the folks who love to see how you’re doing on this channel, believe in you wholeheartedly. All the best to you and yours, Jesse.

Really liked the way you broke down the sawing, detailed explanation with experienced pointers is whats missing a lot of the time, it's sometimes all you need need is that one little pointer for the penny to drop and finaly crack something. Massive respect to you for doing this content whilst injured buddy. Hand tool joinery is like my little happy medative place where I forget all my stuff, and if the joint goes well...then it's just beautiful.

I rarely have time to browse through all the videos in my subscriptions, but had a moment and scrolled through. I haven’t watched your videos in several years, and was drawn in by the simplicity of the topic. I am reminded of the great black and white book on Japanese joinery that was my first exposure to Japanese woodworking in the 1980s. I echo the voices that tell you to teach more hand tool and joinery basics. I’m also sorry to see your ambulatory situation, but happy to see your buoyant spirit.

Liked it a lot and would appreciate/vote more. I’m moving to hand tools for my box making because my shop space may disappear in the near future. I have a sweetheart deal on a space that might change in a year or two. Great job explaining and although I’m 80 and experienced I never saw the need for a two beam marking gauge before but now think it will add a great deal to certain joints. Speedy recovery and step-up the small stuff as much as you comfortably can.

@paulseaburn5059 Ай бұрын

A really appreciate you showing the slight imperfections throughout the video. I’m new to cutting hand mortises so watching an expert troubleshoot errors is a big help! Love your channel. Do you think this is the most efficient way to cut mortise and tenon for the beginner? Maybe make a video on the different ways to cut mortise and tenon with their pros/cons and ability level.

@TheSamuraiCarpenter Ай бұрын

It’s not the most efficient but the best way to learn hand tool skills and muscle memory. Power tools and jigs/templates are faster for multiple pieces.

Dude! This was absolutely the best tutorial on how to make a mortise/tenon joint ACCURATELY. I would love to see other tutorials on different aspects of your woodworking skills. This will be the first project that I will practice on in my new wood shop. I have good basic woodworking skills but not being a full time carpenter, I am always looking for good info on how to improve my skills. Your demo was first class. Being 6'5" and getting "older" {not 18 any longer) the body isn't as forgiving as it once was. 😞 Hope you heal soon. Please consider giving us another (or many) tutorials on your awesome woodworking skills.

I love this content… I am just about to make a shoe stand for my son for his many shoes and I was thinking through tenons for each tier. This helps a lot! Thanks! Oh, and I used to work in a sawmill here in Alberta many years ago… Back then, J grade lumber was the primo lumber. It was typically the grade we would ship over seas to Japan for them to build with (Hence the J in J grade). It was the best grade we made.

Thanks for the video. All the best!

@nickk7653 Ай бұрын

Great advice! I’ve always struggled with mortise and tenons, first trying to make them ‘too precise’ and then struggling to make it work right, either too tight or sloppy fit. Never thought of the simple taper and concave sides. More of this! I have Dorian Bracht’s new Japanese Joinery book on the Christmas list, but aside from enjoying the art of them I’m a little short on ideas of what to actually *do* with it. Maybe some ‘applied joinery’? Where to use what for strength and aesthetics. 😊

@TheRaven0811 Ай бұрын

I've been watching your videos since the early days. I have a thought for you to consider. Make some videos of basic joints and maybe some more advanced as well. Then maybe some detailed japanese joinery. When you write your book about all of them, remember Ray from Ohio mentioned it. I will definitely buy your book!
