I built this gate two years ago for a client in Oregon. I begged him to send me some quality pics of the Wood gate finished but all I got was a crappy iphone pic. Oh well the gate was still some of my best work.

No negativity here. This one reminds me why I watch your stuff. I haven't been on the bench in five years and I miss it. Watching your work is a good stand in. Anyone that complains that about a prize is...stupid. Being a part of something bigger than myself is prize enough. Helping someone in need is prize enough. Just being given an opportunity to offer something is prize enough. Can't wait to see that box of chisels open up again. Love that shot by the way. Especially the pause before you opened it. Perfect.

[@adam03753]

Your attention to detail and design is impeccable. Your craftsmanship is impeccable. Your work does not go unnoticed samurai.

[@pangrac1]

I cant stand how marvelous that cedar material is. Must be bless to work with it.

[@bennyc4337]

Do you ever wake up in the morning and think....." I piss excellence" awesome beyond words

[@jeffsmith-ng6vz]

I think he has said this at some point. :D

[@bennyc4337]

Probably with that song from the Lion King playing lol

[@daveweber1331]

Hey! Quit giving him ideas - comes up with enough on his own! :-) lol Kidding - couldn't agree more - and yes, I think he's already said as much...

[@bitoyau]

Kudos for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Rassiff Amazing Woodwork Blaster (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for woodworking plans without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got excellent success with it.

[@Breal191]

How does this wood fair outside in the elements? What maintenance does it require?

[@user-yi2mc1lu3w]

Don’t worry about it buddy. Your skills speak for yourself. It is an excellent job.

[@kellysandford1877]

If people are bitching about the prizes you're giving, eff them. You seem like a fair dude just trying to make it work. I've gotten hours of entertainment from your channel and its gotten me back into a trade that I was trying to leave behind. Keep doing what you're doing and the rest will figure itself out.

[@timking1050]

Pal , I've followed you for years, this gat is a stupendous effort, ya got passion

[@mukymik6414]

Par excellence, you really are a master of the craft, a short video is better than nothing.

[@bigben380]

It was unfortunately comforting to here you have trouble getting photos from your clients as well. I have been building similar gates all my life and by far the most difficult thing about the process is getting the photos once they are installed. It is one thing having a photo of it sitting against a wall in your shop, but the true beauty comes from the gate sitting in its nature surrounding. Great video! Keep it up

[@xw6968]

Ben Prowell its with a lot of jobs like this. It seems to be that people want to keep it to them self. I have the same with designing food. Order my own design to make pictures for my self, they just dont want others to get it aswell or order it from you.

[@visakanthiruchelvam5028]

Holy crap man! WTH? That was freaking epic! Samurai for THE WIN!

[@marksuson5347]

part of the beauty in this piece of art is the making. the viewing is only part.

[@uwemuller9766]

Great work! Short video? crappy pic? no problem. your work is decisive for me.

[@wowa-3475]

I can't find words how beautiful that is. You are the best carpenter in the world and a good father/husband too.

[@enodding]

I have to say that I am a little jealous of your chisel collection. Beautiful gate.

[@mannytorres9036]

The Samurai is one of the most impressive craftsman I have ever seen. I appreciate seeing you work. Thank you.

[@jamescurtisrussell]

You sir are an Artist, not only with your woodworking but with your sense for audio and editing.👍

[@TheWastedProduction]

I always come back to your channel just for new insparation and your super chilled videos. Keep on going and stay healthy in this shity time. Greetings from Germany

[@CoachBru999]

Your one hell of a carpenter that's for sure

[@mikehessphotography]

A proper wood working video. All the yeses.

[@justRedDevil]

This video brings back memories.

[@Campitor]

I really liked the video. It had a very artistic feel to it especially with the strips of planer shavings fluttering in the wind. Not every video has to be a how-to documentary. Sometimes you have to let the work speak for itself. Mr Samurai - you have an amazing skill - thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.

[@nomadnolan97]

Who cares if it was short!!! That was one of the most beautiful projects I've ever seen on KZbin! Keep it up!!

[@willemdezeeuw1586]

It is such a joy to see a craftsman at work who loves his job.

[@errolblock9643]

Well done. This is the craftsmanship that drew me to your channel in the first place. I come from many generations of carpenters but we were framers this is woodworking as an art form. Respect!

[@namelesswarrior4760]

Your love of all things Japanese is apparent! I still watch your vids now in 2020 and still enjoy them. Thanks

[@Poopoo-wt3sb]

Old school Samurai!! It's the work style that brought us together.. very nice!

[@JonMarHannah]

This is the quintessential Samurai Carpenter project. Your are very skilled. This must be with $15-20k (in not asking how much). This is the type of stuff I want to see on this channel, like the scarf joints on your deck. Have you been to Japan? You should go and vlog the woodworking there.

[@G_Silent]

I like this, no fancy visuals, no over the top dramatized edits, just skillful craftsmanship, incredibly skillful craftsmanship

[@dreadedhalo]

Video editor be like ... 😐 Lol

[@moverholt311]

Man, these are the kinds of videos that drew me to your channel. Good to see them again. Well done, sir!

[@cassianyhvh7220]

The filming is secondary to the work itself. The work speaks for itself and it is shouting out "I am a timeless wonder check me out."

[@robertwestbrook4895]

Nice job with the Oregon pronunciation! Not surprised your client couldn't get a good pic, weather back home is always crap! Never a sunny day for long

[@paulsaracino3074]

Ya know Mr. Samurai the gate was beautiful, absolutely! the footage, I liked it. your skill as a craftsman no, an artist is undeniable. But that dance party? you wanna talk about commitment to a craft? honoring ones responsibilities as a father, well that's "kung fu" in it's purest form. no doubt your child will have many memories of sharing time with you in your craft, but brother, times like that "dance party" go to the core of what motivates an artist to become what they are. you keep doin' that and you'll give your children a precious gift. Yeah, yer a good woodworker, but from where i sit, yer a good father too.

[@johnmontague69]

Jesse you need to get involved with schools, the kids would love you and your work all around the world. The Way of The SAMURAI CARPENTER little ninjas would be kickin the doors down to get seated and watch you make some cool stuff.

[@dave_s_vids]

Ridiculously stunning, as ever!

[@emmeff56]

Not to discount the work in any way but what a truly nice bit of cinematography. Super sound and edit as well. You could almost taste the sound of the planes. Nice.

[@briantorok8877]

Build another for your house! Beautiful as always, Jesse.

[@milosozegovic6980]

I think I like your work the best among all other woodworking youtubers, simply because you're trying your best to be as perfect as possible when creating something. Most of them aren't perfectionists, and as I find woodworking to be an art, one should be a perfectionist.

[@TheJvb123]

Such a joy to see you work. Don't worry about the end photos. Watching the process itself is so satisfying. Keep it up

[@matthewweare1854]

You truly do make some beautiful things. So much care and patients go into everything you create, amazing to watch.

[@mielbeekman]

I love this type of video with the chill music

[@kasperplougjacobsen3473]

I really don't get how people can be so ungrateful (ungateful?), as you mention in the end, and also in a lot of your other videos.. I'm sitting here in Denmark, looking at gorgeous woodwork from around the world almost every day, and that is what inspires me, to pursue some of the same skills. Woodworking here in Denmark tends to revolve more around the money and not about doing things out of passion. Jessie, you do your thing, and don't let those guys get you down. This is just an amazing gate, and I'm sure, in time, that you'll get to build more gates and make even more videos. I usually don't read a lot of comments, but it really bums me out that people can be so impatient and rude, that you (and others) have to defend yourself so often. Get some perspective, 21st century self-centred, unsatisfied "small" people! I'm short on money right now, but when I get a more stable income, or learn to spend the money I have more carefully, I'll support you on Patreon for sure. Heck, if I had the money, I'd fly overseas and pay you to let me sit in the corner and just observe 😅 Enjoy the summer, woodworkers! /Kasper

[@greatitbroke]

Samurai if they get offended over that forget them. You dont need them your better than they are. Screw em. Awesome work on that gate man. Mad skills there.

[@douglaswilkinson1749]

The joinery is why I started watching your channel in the first place. Loved the video

[@Brian18741]

Jesse that gate is a masterpiece.

[@chazzops]

I wish for Christmas for Samurai Carpenter shavings!

[@dpgt3478]

I’m down here in FL but have been watching you for a while and man I can’t say how much inspiration I get from you. You’re the reason I even tried Japanese tools and got into how they work. I hope one day to be as good as you are, don’t stop making stuff please!! Lol

[@tompritch56]

Fun to see that project again. I will say one of your best..

[@jackjmaheriii]

I actually really like that kind of content. One of my all-time favorite videos is the one where you assemble the framer's style toolbox.

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

This kind of stuff is your best. Even though it was short it was still excellent. You should consider doing a book on joinery - I'd buy it. From all of your videos, you seem to look the happiest doing something like this. Scott

[@markd9946]

As AVE would say-" She's a beauty, a bonnie and a thing to behold". Well done and Cheers.

[@WillSwoveland]

Beautiful gate man Sorry to miss you in Burien, we moved into our new house that week end For the love of all.....o-reh-gun. That's how it's pronounced. "O-Ray-gone"... that's east coast bro....

[@EllisDesignandTradeCo]

I LOVE YOU SAMURAI CARPENTER GUY! I don't care what Norwood has to say about you! You're the best.

[@donscotuslives]

Jesse, this is simply brilliant, even in an abbreviated form. Suggestion: add an extended version of the "dance party" at the end. The project is clearly worth celebrating!

[@centrifugedestroyer2579]

I watched a whole 7 minute mid-video ad, because your channel and your work are so amazing they just deserved it : )

[@bradb69]

Goals. To one day be able to afford such amazing craftsmanship to be displayed at my home

[@rowanmcgregor5174]

Mate this is why I love your work. Absolutely amazing. I wish I had your skills, and tools.

[@tonywalker8030]

you had your soul in your work, don't know about now, but from what I see you had the spirit.

[@johnmontague69]

Beautiful Gate.

[@TurinAlexander]

I have no real design skills, so I won't be entering the contest, I'm just here to watch you build stuff. That said, while I certainly wouldn't complain about the prizes, I think some small item that you made, nothing too crazy, just a small carving or something like that would have been a better choice. You know, someone makes something for you, you make them something, that sort of thing. Anyway, just a thought I had while you were talking about the contest. Keep up with the good work, I'll keep watching.

[@xw6968]

No need for a price, watching you is a price 👍🏻 that gate would be a nice logo and shirt aswell.

[@redneckmarine1016]

Love watching you do your skill.

[@tankstone3]

Fantastic work. Crafting something from scratch is always satisfying and humbling. As an aspiring mechanical engineer, I really appreciate your heartfelt efforts and accomplishments.

[@joeforster5503]

Nice to see the old you back in the saddle.

[@chrisis9030]

+ Joe Forster Have you actually watched the vid and listened to what Jesse said? This was recorded 2 years ago.

[@jayfromjumbie679]

Great video Jesse, even though you feel the video didn't have enough images or footage. I thought it was fantastic! Great to see you putting out these fine woodworking videos again. Not that I don't love all your videos, but I REALLY fucking love these videos.

[@brahbrah101]

absolutely amazing , even loved the video style , any samurai video gets me pumped to get some work done

[@davidballantine8873]

Hey Samurai, thanks for the inspiration. Beautiful work as always. It helps me start my days in the shop.

[@DriverDude100]

This is a beautiful gate regardless of the quality of photos of the finished project. The quality of fabrication is superb!

[@mackem4life13]

That was an amazing peice of art, shame the guy didnt send more pics

[@moctezuma696]

C'm on Samurai! You know you can do it!

[@c2lewis]

Awesome vid. Short but sweet. Shows your skills. Amazing. Love the dance party part. Keeping your family involved.

[@philmorton4590]

If only you were out here in Australia to build something like that for me. Totally love the design.

[@chuckholton4666]

Jesse, Still in awe of that gate! So incredible! It belongs at the entrance of a Japanese temple. Thanks for sharing it again.

[@christopherc7757]

What an absolutely stunning piece of work.

[@FriedRys]

2 minutes in and I am already feeling the Samurai Zen coming back.

[@morrow.m]

That was a beautiful gate, beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

[@MatthewWebb62024]

Yup. Another reason to support.

[@ShadHall]

*That was awesome!!* Great work, man! Such beautiful work. And the video was so relaxing to watch as well.

[@ColeMcConnell]

There is nothing better then clear Western Red Cedar, in my mind. Nicely done.

[@CodeFoxAus]

Very relaxing video. Back to the old samurai ... good stuff!

[@danielgeng2306]

Incredible work Jesse. Always look forward to your videos ....

[@typhoonKaiz07]

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video you’ve put out that hasn’t blown me away! Great work, man!

[@petecooper4412]

I may have said it before, but it seems everything you do has a spiritual quality, including the filming! More please.

[@tontakely]

Awe inspiring work. Thank you for sharing it.

[@ClaytonwFirth]

Love your work Jesse. You look happier!

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

I am glad you got the picture you did it looks amazing!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@trainman1967]

Thank you for sharing your talents. You do beautiful work.

[@chrisnicolson2763]

You say that your bummed because your videography skills weren't up to scratch back then, but this has actually been my favourite Samurai video of late! Keep up the great work!

[@damien381]

I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for all your time and hard work.

[@CrowdSurfingGeezer]

Your videography is almost as beautiful as your woodwork

[@tobybeswick36]

i love how precise you can get joints with power tools and hand tools

[@angeloalmaze4169]

You can feel the love being put in the project. Good job bro

[@tollertollertoller]

It is wonderful watching you work. Skill and execution are beautiful.

[@yastar]

Shot videos doesn't matter, the content does and that is super awesome and inspiring. Love Japanees joinery

[@chrispritchard2331]

I love watching your videos. So beautiful and done with such amazing tools. Really inspiring to me as I have a massive fascination with samurai which came from the study of the Japanese sword. Please keep making these videos.

[@hernancoronel]

You are an artist Samurai! Thanks!

[@moctezuma696]

One word: Majestic!

[@richardwaldron222]

Man. I miss this. These are why I subbed.

[@ergoslugg8181]

Beautiful work, you are such an artist, I'm terribly envious...you have my respect beyond what I can express.

[@cabbldr]

That's what we want to see!!!

[@nickhdeep6leatherworks338]

He's back! Love the style Samurai
