It's similar in a lot of trades really- take your time on making something nice when it's paid work, but then when it's something for yourself, quick and dirty will suffice. I'm really surprised he didn't just change out the glass in the original doors though. Seemed like it would have been more sensible.
I never thought i'd see the day.. a Festool Domino in the Ishitani workshop! I completely understand however, a pragmatic need requires a pragmatic tool, not every joint can be a hand cut blind dovetail. A beautiful result irrespective!
For fine furniture, handmade mortise and tenon joinery can be nicer, but for construction grade products like doors, a festool domino is the easier way to go.
Nice little upgrade to your workshop. But hmm single pane? no worries on keeping heat in/out nvm if someting falls on it. Ohwell to seeing how the wood seasons. Till the next video.
Those original doors were beautiful! Not enough sunlight? Looked like they were mahogany?? But i look fwd to seeing end result of the new doors..plenty of sunlight with these👍🏻
Satisfying to watch as ever. A trick I learned from my woodworking teacher. Keep an opening for your glass to insert on the top of your door. So you can insert the glass from above. The result is quite chique that way.
Hello! Unrelated to woodworking, but I found out recently that my dad's last name before he was adopted was Nishitani! I thought it sounded similar to something, but couldn't remember what it was until I saw this video pop up. Funny that I also got into woodworking!
I used to make very expensive doors and windows for rich people, all handmade, highest quality. It was nice to see you make such simple yet beautiful doors. They should age well.
Have you taken steps to keep the workshop warmer now that the glass in the doors is single-glazed? I understand that you have a wood stove, but as a Canadian I know from bitter experience that single-glazed doors or windows are terrible during a cold winter. They leak heat like crazy and frost up quickly, reducing light and blocking the view. ドアが単層ガラスになったので、作業スペースを暖かく保つ対策を講じましたか? 薪ストーブをお持ちだと思いますが、カナダ人として、単層ガラスのドアや窓は寒い冬には最悪だということを苦い経験から知っています。熱がひどく漏れ、すぐに霜が降り、光が減り、視界が遮られます。
Beautiful work as always. I do have to question. If you have winters like we do here in the states, that single pane glass isn't the way to go. You'll have plenty of natural light but, major heat loss. If you're needing or wanting more natural lighting, skylights would've been better a choice. Cheers :)
Consider adding solid doors on the outside of these new doors. That way you can close the solid doors at night or during storms for protection and insulation. And open the solid doors during the day and in summer to let the sunlight and warmth inside. 💕🌞🌵😷
The thermopane glass lost vacuum and moisture got inside. Probably a poor quality glue-up at the factory or a bad batch. Out of 500 windows, you get at least 10 that are like that. Mind you, while it doesn't have the same effect as thermopane glass does, you can add two layers of normal glass and it does cut-off some of the heat transfer. Back in the 60's all the windows in my grandpa's wood shop were done like that, with 3 layers of glass and it kept quite a lot of heat inside without fogging up. Grandpa used a window putty to seal those windows in, as far as i recall. We changed the doors and windows 30 years ago, so it's a bit foggy.
My old house in Norway has two layers of glass, one that opens out and one that opens in. In between there's a gap of air of about 10 cm. They're not as well insulated as modern windows, but it's not bad at all, as long as the inner window is 100% sealed (then it doesn't fog up either). The inner frames can be removed in summer and put back in before winter. One upside old windows is that they let in more light than modern windows, because the frames are much thinner. But the biggest upside is that they doen't go bad and have to be replaced after ~20 years. I can take it all apart and repair it with common woodworking tools, linseed oil putty and linseed oil paint, once every 30 years or so. They used high quality wood up until the 60s or so, reserving the very best for windows. Very old windows can last for centuries if taken care of. You can't say that about modern windows. If I wanted more insulation, and had the money, I could always upgrade the inner glass to modern thin vacuum glass, giving my them even better insulation value than modern windows. But I'm happy with them as they are. I'm sorry to say this, but replacing good old windows is rarely a good idea. You'll be downgrading to something of much lower quality. It's almost always better to restore the frames and upgrade the glass. Cheaper even, at least in the long run.
I love your content and obviously your woodworking prowess. I just wondered why you would use single pane glass. Thanks from NZ
Very nice. I liked the old ones also.
Plenty of sunlight with these lovely doors. Thank you for the video!
Your video editing is always so enjoyable to watch. Beautifully done.
Very nice build. It looks like framing lumber? And were you just not happy with the existing pair?
Yes, he answers your question in the description above 😊
I believe he wanted the shop doors to be taller, so bigger objects can get in and out of the shop.
I'm very surprised with your very high skill level you would make doors like that , but i love watching you from Ireland build furniture

@@brokenhalo22In Spain we say "the ironmonger eats with a wooden spoon"
@@tinycuisine6544 Not sure on that saying, But anybody that knows anything about making doors would use a mortice & tenon joint , That's the only way
@@brokenhalo22 The glass surface in the new doors is considerably larger in size. That probably was a consideration as well.
@@tinycuisine6544 Funny. Our saying in English is supposedly Spanish in origin. “The cobbler’s children have no shoes.”
ありがとうございます！あなたの作品を見るのはいつも楽しいです！シロを撫でてください！🐾😎✌️
Great craftsmanship, nice to watch 👍👍👍 BUT.... Many concerns written down already.... Why did you build new doors? What was wrong with the old ones?
Complimenti Sei il migliore bravo bravo 👏
I thought your "old" shop doors were lovely, but these new ones are also very attractive, and let in a bit more light. Very nice.
COOL LOOKING GOOD

There will be plenty of pleasant sun warmth through those doors. Shiro will likely lay by them this winter.
Amazing work as always!

There's a bit of channel's in wich you like even before watch, yours is one for sure🫶 cheers from Mexico city 👏
Damn UA-cam I thought you do no longer post video on it!
Loved and still love you're craftsmanship ❤❤❤
nice work, for outdoor there are dominos out of meranti instead of beech, or i make them out of resiliient wood by myself
Who cares
ありがと！

どこでもドア！😄😂😄🙏🏻🌞
Aprecio seu trabalho com madeira.
Have these remained flat? I'd be concerned about stability and warping using construction lumber for an exterior door.
Guess he knows more than you do
Why change them?
His shop, his rules
Pushing the entire door through the planer was a little funny...
What is the glue mixture that you use?
Titebond 3
I would have expected thick insulated glass in your climate. Triple glazed or something to keep at least some cold out.
Not relevant what you expected
工房の環境整備をするのは、楽しく仕事をするには必須ダネ❤ 怪我も治り完全復活したね😊
他の人が書いてあるけれど、ペアガラスにしないと寒くないかな？ 木は熱伝導が低いから暖かいのかな？
遮光はどうするんだろう？ シースルー過ぎると防犯防止は？ 色々考えてしまう。

What glue are you using you using please
Looked like titebond III.
Yeah I am also curios. What is that glue mixture you are doing ?

Are you mixing PVA and PUR glue? 😲
I'm pretty sure its PVA mixed with a hardener. Makes it waterproof.
It's going to be cold with single-glazed windows. In France, we use double-glazed windows.
I think you're having a joke with us and I have a sneaky suspicion that this is a temporary fix and you'll produce something better later on.😀
If the double glazing is getting cloudy it means it is leaking. You could simply have put in new double glazing.
I think the only response to that is "DUH!"
STUPID COMMENT
I want to become a member but I can’t figure out how!? I don’t see a sign up button anywhere
👏👏👏
Hey, where is that grey jacket from?
👍👍👍
Why did you change the doors?
Why not
👍⭐️⭐️⭐️👏
Is Shiro ok ?
Why only single glazing?
Because they are his doors
Weird question, would you allow foreign tourists to visit your shop? Have plans to visit Japan in 2025, would love to stop by just to say “Hi!”
What was wrong with old doors? They looked good enough
New doors are higher. Makes perfect sense.
Who cares what you think

Mind your own business
So (not?) Ishitani. So - not! - what everybody else would do... But hey! It's Ishitani's workshop. His will, his way.

Nice work but... number of dogs in video: 0!!!
Thumbs down.... 🙂
Then you can go away
On the face of it, this looks like a serious downgrade...you'll miss those double-paned windows, IMHO.
Yet you know nothing
