You and Ishitani are definitively the best woodworkers offering videos on youtube. Your woodworking practice is amazing, the furnitures you make are so carefully designed and your videos are perfectly edited. It is always a pleasure to watch them. I also need to make a walnut table (80 cm x 80 cm, 50 cm height) and you gave me an idea where to start from. Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland.
What’s the real star of the show? The table, joinery, the workshop, workbench, the artist, the tools (love the t square ruler and brand), the view??! So much to love in this video!
This is beautiful. Much to learn here. There are many-many choices, that are made in the structure and the measurements. Just by making a 3D-model (in eg. Blender) of the table for a study will teach you this. So much precision. Also super nicely filmed. But most of all: it is always a great joy to watch a master performing his art. Mastery represents many generations of experience and mastery. Although modern power tools are useful, the Kobeomsuk Master clearly shows, that everything is possible with a measure, a pencil, a hand saw, a chissel, a drill, a planer and some glue. All of which are thousands of years old. The clamps may not be that old, but it can be done by tightening a rope with a stick. Simlicity is beauty. Thank you for the lesson and the joy!
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Beautiful craftsmanship! For those questioning the use of screws to attach the top, I believe it serves two purposes. First, if done right it allows for seasonal expansion of the table top wood. And second, it makes disassembly so much easier when the table will inevitably need to be moved (fitting through doorframes, reduce weight of table, etc.). It's a very common practice among fine furniture table makers.
I think this is my favourite piece of yours so far. I really appreciate all the hand cut joinery and detail that went into this. Brilliant and inspiring work!
Man, I always laugh at the end when I see him SNEAK up on the finished piece like it’s a flighty animal and he doesn’t want it to run away 😂 Beautiful table!!!
I have been thinking about this table for the last two day and I just REALLY WANT THE TABLE TO BE GLASS. I feel like the craftsmanship of the table is hidden under the wooden top and IT MAKES ME ANGRY!! I would buy it if I had the money and a glass top
I love what you do and more particularly, the way you do it. 30 years ago, I studied Toshio Odate and fell in love with traditional Japanese woodworking and all its aspects. It changed my life. You remind me of those fundamentals - it is good to be reminded. Lastly, your video is lovely.
loved this, thank you....I would have wanted to see the finished underside aswell...surprised abt the screws and had wanted to see what it looked like...
Love the joinery, first time I've seen something like this. It's very inspiring. Also love your shop, both the view and how clean and minimalist it is.
cool desk i realy like the construction but I don't understand that split in the middle. I first thought its for a peace of wood witch has a diffrend color or something like that.Im gonna try to build something simular thanks👌.
Wow!! Woodworking doesn’t get any better or more beautiful than this. I’m in awe by the artful restraint and simplicity of the design. The craftsmanship is amazing!! Is there any chance you provide detailed instructions on how to build (for a price of course)?
Beautiful work! My only concern is about those screws which were used for the tabletop. It would be much nicer if you use some kind of wood joint to fix it.
The video was great. I only have one question. If this was made without nails or screw's, tell me why attach the base with screws and risk the wood rotting and the whole thing coming apart?
@@reinhardhansal5736 I happen to be busy when this was written. Thanks for your... catching the spelling. I don't use spell check. But the point was made I hope. For those who can understand what I was saying. But I can laugh also
I love your work. It is more than inspiring. Have you ever thought about taking Appretices? To be honest: If so, it was a dream of mine to learn from you first hand.
Those four posts, have them extend further so that they go up through the table top. Split them so that you can use a shim as done lower on the piece then cut, plane, and sand to smooth. Or possibly a sliding dovetail on the long pieces just underneath, using bigger length pieces so that they extend above level of legs. I would assume. I'm sure it is possible but nothing wrong with it as is, beautiful. I'm certainly not that experienced or capable... yet. lol. regardless, great piece and fine craftmanship. Obviously, I don't take exception to the use of screws for this.
Ive been thinking about this too. Maybe:: .add sliding dovetails to the bottom of the top. Make them stand out quite a bit. Attach to the top. .plane the cheeks of the sliding dovetails square to the top. They should line up with the stretchers. .secure with a slightly drawbored dowel through stretcher and sliding dovetail. If you make the sliding dovetails to fit nicely within the undercarriage lengthwise it will stop movement in that direction. The drawbore stops movement orthogonally and stops the top from lifting out. What do you think?
I guarantee that the 287 ignorant idiots that gave this the "thumbs down" could not reproduce the quality of work this guy does. This is as good as it gets, and should be inspiring to any woodworker.
Well even though he sanded it an hand planed it I'm pretty sure you can see some of the glue squeeze out when looking at the piece as for the screws well that is just too bad btw traditiona japanese woodworking never used glue.
Really guys? in the past they used rice as glue. and the screw is for the tabletop. if he would use joinery to attach the top to the frame (to no to be removable easily), i wish YOU to carry that up to the 4th floor alone in a narrow staircase.

What gives with Isitani? He hasn’t posted for months. I miss his work.
Try to watch square rule and pedulla studio

No way a table so beautiful you covered it with wood...all the beauty is hidden. I would love to see glass on that frame!
A great design study on how to take dead-square stock and make a really elegant finished result. Another beautiful creation.
Theres something extremely satisfying in seeing those pieces fit and come together
Thank you for the video! You're my favourite furniture builder on UA-cam!

*Beautiful table !*
Wooden objects like this table can bring the good emotion to the house.
This table is a work of art. It shows the beauty of Japanese joinery and craftsmanship. It is a pleasure to just look at its beauty!

Beautiful but wow, all that joinery to then cover up 80% of it...maybe some type of glass top?
Pure work of art . Absolutely facinating. You people do everything just perfect. Thank you
Beautiful work. It was a pleasure to watch you work.
Excellent work. I love the joinery and clean lines.
I always look forward to your videos. Makes my day.
One day, You can do that.
Fantastic. Would love to see 2 interesting glass tops that expose the joinery below.
Such talent and patience. A true artist, thanks for sharing
Nice and good job thanks I’m from Iraq nice to see you and see your job
Can't I just come carry your tools and help you carry wood around. This is just pure art!

I'm convinced that a craftsman like him has his good reasons! But I was really curious about a wood-only solution 😏
Just simply Beautiful. Love your work.
Such talented craftsmanship. Though I think I'd prefer a glass tabletop so the beauty of the joinery could be admired

Beautiful table!!!
*Hands down the best restoration of anything i have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful*
kind of wish you could have put glass on the top so people could the craftsmanship of the actual table!! still a great table!

Great craftsmanship
Half slab joinery at its best
Congratulations!
Love the table and respect the work and process, just wish there wasn't that gap in the middle.
Totally jealous of the skills and that landscape. Amazing work!!!
Is the glue necessary? I like the idea of being able to take it apart again for a move.
Only if you like wobbly tables. It will loosen up over time.
This table is never coming apart. Nice job!
Absolutely stunning work as always. What is the design reasoning behind the 25mm gap down the centre of the table please?
In design I think it's called "empty space". It also allows those seated at the table to have a view of the base.
Interesting. I know of shadow gaps in architectural design so I guess the same principle is applied to furniture design?
Well done. Looks elegant and very strong. I love the double single board top and the double at the bottom of the frame.
Amazing , incredible crafmanship
Any luck to have the plan of table ?
A true master and a beautiful piece of art. What a setting to work in!
This table is so awesome, but unfortunately you don't ship outside Korea. That means I am making one myself now. I hope you're not mad. ; )
Love the joinery, first time I've seen something like this. It's very inspiring. Also love your shop, both the view and how clean and minimalist it is.
What kind of T Square were you using? I can't find one like it online.
Pure chisel and wet stone poetry. Thank you for sharing your work.
Very! Nice! Work! Thank you for sharing. I dont understand the 61 dislikes...
Too much hard work and dedication, I guest😏

Oh man, walnut woods, my favorite type of wood of all the woods. Walnut is for me the goddess of woods.
The video was great. I only have one question. If this was made without nails or screw's, tell me why attach the base with screws and risk the wood rotting and the whole thing coming apart?
rotting inside?

1:47 that moment...precious.
Nice. An interesting mix of Eastern and Western woodworking tools.
It would be possible to acquire the plans? I love this table
Very beautiful ! Master of precision 🙏🏻
nice work. and by the way where did you get that T Square type micrometer?
Search this, "0-250 미리메터 T 형 마킹 버니어 캘리퍼스 미세 조정/T 마킹 버니어 캘리퍼스 괜찮아요 ajustment/T 형 마킹 게이지".
This is art! Incredibly satisfying to watch.
I love your work. It is more than inspiring. Have you ever thought about taking Appretices? To be honest: If so, it was a dream of mine to learn from you first hand.
To simply put it. A work of art!
Where can I find the T-square you used? I would love to add that to my shop!!
What a beautiful table, well done. I really enjoyed watching you make that
what is that measuring tool he uses?????
Awesome craftmanship!!
Beautiful Joinery! Why did you use screws to secure the top? Why not use another Joinery technique?
Nice touch the carved spoons at the end. You are a pleasure to watch Sir. Greetings from Canada.
The screws at the end T_T. Is the a way to achieve the same aesthetic without screws?
dowels or biscuits!!
I’m going to use 3/4” wood dowels on my table I’m building.
Great job! I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Why not drill out that cross section after bandsaw cuts?
Beautiful work - truly master class.
roll a spliff, pour a scotch, watch this dude's channel all night long
There is much excellence in this one, well done grasshopper.

Honestly sad to see screws go in after all the joinery .
superb artistry and craftsmanship.well done!
NIce work!!!, what its the name of calibrator in the 0:37s
Its called a scriber gauge
Well designed, planned and executed. Done a fantastic job there 👍
For those of you who have taken exception to the use of screws to attach the table top, how would you have made the attachment?

Do all that fine work just to screw the top on. This is what I was thinking.
@@shanefoster2132 definitely sliding dovetail.
@@shanefoster2132 I was thinking the same thing
Ive been thinking about this too. Maybe::
.add sliding dovetails to the bottom of the top. Make them stand out quite a bit. Attach to the top.
.plane the cheeks of the sliding dovetails square to the top. They should line up with the stretchers.
.secure with a slightly drawbored dowel through stretcher and sliding dovetail.
If you make the sliding dovetails to fit nicely within the undercarriage lengthwise it will stop movement in that direction. The drawbore stops movement orthogonally and stops the top from lifting out. What do you think?
Beautiful piece, love the space down the center detail. Wow all the different joinery! So impressive! : )
After all that hardwork not using nails, why oh why did you use screws to fasten the tabletop???
I was asking myself the same question.
So much love and patience in this work, an artist indeed.
I guarantee that the 287 ignorant idiots that gave this the "thumbs down" could not reproduce the quality of work this guy does. This is as good as it gets, and should be inspiring to any woodworker.
SAme assholes who voted for Trump...head up their ass.
Your trump derangement syndrome is causing you to make political comments on a walnut table video. Congratulations - you’re “that guy”.
@@RobbieJack78 EXACTLY!
Insanely awesome. I love your space. What an amazing shop.
Kobeomsuk vs Auto focus. The epic battle.
Thanks for the quick response. I do admire your work, great skill, technique, and design. You are making art.
i came for the table, but stayed for the music.
Your design is so pure and ellegant! It makes me feel the presence of each piece. Nobly crafted, sir!
And they use screws at the end?? Nnnnooooooooooooo
His patience came to end too XD
That's exactly how I feel!
Real craftmanship,from a Masterwoodworker !!!
What is the name and a vendor for the adjustable marking gauge being used. Thanks.
Also would love to know
I wish he would reply. I want one!

Beautiful work as always. Thank you for sharing.
All that wonderful intricate joinery to just screw on the tabletop?!?! An amazing piece nonetheless
That struck me as odd as well. A fox-joint mortise and tenon would go well there.
my thoughts exactly... fine piece nonetheless -- @Russ Nixon's suggestion of the fox was a simple and deserving solution for instance
You do such beautiful work! It makes me want to go out to the shop and practice practice practice!
Such intricate details to finally screw the top kind of broke my heart, I thought it'd be a nail less piece of furniture..!
A glass table top would have been perfect to appreciate the joinery, it looks awesome.
Good Idea, My wife said exactly same thing~,
everything is great but in the end why u hit the screw.i think it ruin the whole creation
+ 1
Awesome video! I love the peaceful music as well as the unique camera angles. Well done
Why all the trouble if you use glue and screws?
Are you serious?
@@MegaTraianus He was holding a screwdriver at the end, tho.
Did I miss something? I only saw him using tenons and wedges. The glue isn’t too necessary but why not, it’s just titebond.
Well even though he sanded it an hand planed it I'm pretty sure you can see some of the glue squeeze out when looking at the piece as for the screws well that is just too bad btw traditiona japanese woodworking never used glue.

Why the gap in the top?
This table was wonderful untill the gap
Its there so if you spill your pop on the table it will run down onto your new carpeting
It's a design feature. Artisanship, where art and craftsmanship come together.
@@russnixon6020 bad design feature
@@sevelev its a great feature if you use it as an outside table
Absolutely stunning. I always look forward to your posts.
