Loved the video and looking forward to future ones. I’d love to see a video on your bench and saw horse setup and how you’ve set up your shop and how you’re able to build everything. I’d also really love to see how you process rough stock. Finally any recommendations for Japanese planes and chisels would be awesome! Looking forward to more content!
Looking forward to more. I don't think I could ever go to full Japanese style like this though. After years of injuries from martial arts and sports, I just can't handle the amount of bending over and kneeling as displayed here. A merger of western bench and tools, plus some Japanese tools, along with a few power tools for speed, are what I'm moving towards.
I transformed my backroom into a woodworking shop and I'm trying to work with hand tools (I live in an apartment, 3rd floor). I have decided to balance push and pull strokes for my body, so I'm using western planes and japanese saws. This video is a very good introduction, I've subscribed and will watch any videos coming. Keep up the good work and lean approach.
I'm certainly interested in Japanese woodworking techniques and look forward to future videos. I utilize hand tools along with power tools in my shop and on my channel, but my heart belongs to the hand tools. You have a new subscriber.
Since you’re asking the audience: I’m really interested in seeing simple tools and workpieces (like those boxes seen on the back wall) made with some consideration of aesthetics.
What a lovely film. It really captures the essence of beauty in the method, the craftsman, and the project. I look forward to seeing more. God bless you.
Hand sawing, I am obsessed with the perfect cut! I have both styles of saws but through lots of practice I find the western works better for me although I would dearly love to be able to use my japanese saws well as the cuts are very fine. Thank you, look forward to seeing more.
Thank you yoe creating this channel. I'm looking forward to what is to come. The processes of your learning and development would be an interesting aspect.
Awesome videos! I’m interested in Japanese woodworking for the same reasons as you. Would love to learn more about acquiring and setting up hand planes etc.
Would be great to learn about how the hand tools are being properly used, what tools are commonly present in Japanese workshops. Already a great fan of the Ishitani Furniture channel. LOVE your bench. Can't wait for more vids.
I would love to figure out how to make the perfect jigsaw puzzle joints that I see in videos by some practitioners. Do you use saw and chisel guides? I love the precise work br H. Carpenter. He seems to lay out his cuts almost carelessly, then saw and chisel freehand. He still ends up with very precise work. The videos have been accelerated and maybe some parts done over, so it's hard to know exactly what is going on. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment! I don’t use any guides for my work. It’s all about laying out the joint correctly, then cutting to the line accurately. I’ll be showing more of my process in future videos. 😊
subbed, nice work. If you are after suggestions, maybe simple how-to on the joints used where and why. You eluded to joinery that doesn't require Nails or screws, maybe some simple examples for people starting out? How did you get started? e.g. what was your first object you made, not just the M-T joint but object? Hope these suggestions help, look forward to seeing much more.
Hi! Great video! Such a great work, is there any book about japanese woodworking that you would recomend? I would love to begin exploring this style or culture for work! Greetings from Mexico!
Greetings! Thank you! 😊 I would recommend: “Japanese woodworking tools” by Toshio Odate, and “sharpening and the Japanese hand plane” by Dale Brotherton. Those are both excellent. Send me an email if you want more info on where to start. nolan@studionoha.com
Is in your opinion Takagi a good brand for tools. I would like to start my journey of woodcrafting and I would like to have a proper set up. Or do you have other brands you would recommend? beautiful work shown here, cheers!
Thank you for watching! I haven’t heard of Takagi, so I’m not sure about those. But if you want some info on tools send me an email and I can help you find the ones I recommend: nolan@studionoha.com
Machines are great, but the cost of using them is almost always the inability to become a skilled worker with your hands (actually your body): a craftsman. Great job man. I am subscribed.
Any interest in sharing navigation when looking for quality tools? It seems with the rising popularity of Japanese style woodworking, there is a flood in the market for cheaper tools or knockoffs.
Yes! I have a future video planned for this. It was hard for me to find good tools when I first started, but I have a lot of contacts now. If you need something specific, just send me a message!
Doing different. No workbench, but you have to sit under a workbench to saw with a pull stroke. Tens of finishing planes, but nothing to dimension wood.
Would have been very interesting. Unfortunately, music (music? more precisely, noise hiding your words). I would have been glad to listen until the end if only I could have understood what you were saying. A great pity considering how interesting your subject is. Why, why, why why? why add noise over someone talking, I will never understand.
@ Thank you, that's really good news I guess. I'll come back after a while hoping this time there's no "music" (not disparaging music! but is it still music when you're trying to listen to something else and trying *not* to hear it?)
Maybe get some hearing aids? It was very beautifully constructed and edited video. I don’t mean that in a condescending way, I have several people close to me who recently realised they needed aids, & it has revolutionised their lives
Really looking forward to the growth of this channel. Subscribed!
Yeah man! Japanese furniture is what inspired me to start my journey 7-8 years ago!
I wish you the best of luck in your future work!

Can you go over sharpening and tuning Japanese planes?
Looking forward to more. I don't think I could ever go to full Japanese style like this though.

I'm looking forward to watching more.
I appreciate you taking time to watch it!
great video production and intro! i'm a novice woodworker myself but huge fan of the Japanese style....looking forward to many more videos.
So excited about your channel!!😊
🎉
Good man I love this approach to woodworking keep going!
I transformed my backroom into a woodworking shop and I'm trying to work with hand tools (I live in an apartment, 3rd floor).
I have decided to balance push and pull strokes for my body, so I'm using western planes and japanese saws.
This video is a very good introduction, I've subscribed and will watch any videos coming.
Keep up the good work and lean approach.
Sounds exciting! That’s how I started as well, in a third floor apartment in Brooklyn. Good luck! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I'm certainly interested in Japanese woodworking techniques and look forward to future videos. I utilize hand tools along with power tools in my shop and on my channel, but my heart belongs to the hand tools. You have a new subscriber.
I appreciate you watching! I use some machines in my work as well, but I’m with you. Hand tools are at the heart of what I do too
Looking forward to future videos!
Thank you! ☺️
Amazing vibes. Thank you from Greenland!
Thank you for watching!
I'd love to see a video on dove tail joints. Looking forward to more content.

Thank you for watching!
Since you’re asking the audience: I’m really interested in seeing simple tools and workpieces (like those boxes seen on the back wall) made with some consideration of aesthetics.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve got a future video planned doing just that. Appreciate you watching!
What a lovely film. It really captures the essence of beauty in the method, the craftsman, and the project. I look forward to seeing more. God bless you.
Thank you Ximena! I’m so glad you watched it! It’s been so long. Good to hear from you!

Me too! I love my Japanese saws 😄 thank you for watching!
Thank you yoe creating this channel. I'm looking forward to what is to come. The processes of your learning and development would be an interesting aspect.
Thank you for watching! Okay, I will keep that in mind for future videos.
Totally interested in this style of work.. I would love to see the “jigs” or ways Japanese woodworking is different than western.
Gorgeous video. Did not know such a thing called japanese woodworking existed. Looking forward to more of this beautiful educational content.
Thank you! There are so many beautiful and unique craft traditions in Japan. I’ve been thankful to have learned so much about it!
Congrats on launching the channel! Looking forward to the future videos
Thanks man! I’ve gotta swing over and check yours out!
Awesome videos! I’m interested in Japanese woodworking for the same reasons as you. Would love to learn more about acquiring and setting up hand planes etc.
Thank you! I’m planning on doing some videos on that topic along with offering some online classes for more in depth information. Stay tuned!
Would be great to learn about how the hand tools are being properly used, what tools are commonly present in Japanese workshops. Already a great fan of the Ishitani Furniture channel. LOVE your bench. Can't wait for more vids.
Will keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion! I also love watching ishitani. Thank you for watching!
The way Sashimono works is so fascinating wow
It’s such a beautiful way of looking at wood construction!
I’m in dude 🤙
Love to see the proper ways to prepare a chisel and plane for service.
Interesting! Subscribed :)
That’s awesome!!!!

Dope ❤
Thanks Max!
Awesome video! :D
Your music is wayy too loud though boss. Like -15% would be perf.
Thanks for watching! Still working on the sound, I’ll try better next time.
I feel like Japanese are doing everything better. Arigato Japan
Agreed!
Doing different. No workbench, but you have to sit under a workbench to saw with a pull stroke. Tens of finishing planes, but nothing to dimension wood.
I make Shaker furniture by hand. I look forward to seeing your videos.
Oh, nice! Shaker furniture is lovely. Thank you for watching!
Ditch the music dude……..
I like the music. Sorry it’s not for you.
