This channel is SUCH a breath of fresh air. I cannot tell you how tired I am of seeing "DIY", "rustic", "farmhouse". Tired of mega popular sloppy joes with millions of views telling you how to build furniture from used pallets. THIS is SO different. I could watch this all day and won't be tired.

jomsart - how is he gatekeeping? Sounds to me like he’s sharing an opinion... and to be honest I couldn’t agree with him more. He’s not trying to discourage anyone from learning or trying, he’s giving credit to the creator of this video for the amazing work he does, and the degree of perfection he attains in his work.
@@aleksanderkac1494 looking at how he constructs these pieces it looks like the furniture would hold together fine without glue/screws. But he uses them anyways. It's really just extra support for an already sturdy bed. What's so bad about that? Also whats up with everyone hating on biscuits? It's just meant to help line up the pieces. They're not actually meant for structural support. You sure sound snobby for a person that's calling everyone else a snob.
When you love traditional style and you collaborate it with modern tech tools. There's no hate in you man. Pure love. This is what the world need. Love all the genres.
So neat and intricate. And a mix of modern and Asian style carpentry which reminds me of old days when we use only wood to lock joints, no nails just all natural. Thanks
Having a education within carpentry it is a joy to se that someone still makes furniture, as I was taught back in my day. It makes me wish I had the mashies to start the old “magic” up again. Thanks a lot for sharing your work. Keep it up and never let it die
Natsuki you make simply the most wonderful furniture. Really enjoy having no commentary. Certainly my favourite wood worker. Chie great video work as always, your music selections are always spot on. Shiro your claws on the floor bring back fond memories of a dog long lost, they should live as long as us.
Excellent and elegant job too. Definetelly not for amateurs. Your work and your videos are masterworks. Wish was there to watch you live creating these masterpieces. Greetings from Athens Greece
I agree 100%. Not just watch, but learn about the traditional way of joining. They have temples that withstood the test of time and mother nature, with no metal parts.
This guy is a TRUE craftsman...It takes many years to get this good. He makes it look so easy. I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay what this bed frame is worth but if I owned it I would admire the detail for life. WOW
Absolutely breathtaking. Simple, yet elegant. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment but I hope you don't mind that I am now building a bed for my son inspired by this design! Cheers
am i the only one who admires the use of modern tools to perfect the joining methods? The detail that blows my mind though is the hand chamfering/bevelling of the protuding tenons/dowels (my woodworking terminology is shite) top work +ishitani furniture
I am an IT Professional, at my 40's busy with IT problems all the day, but when I see such a beautiful work, I like to leave my IT job and learn such wonderful wood work. I wish I could learn work. Expect to open my own wood shop after my retirement from IT Job.
I am sad that the videos were taken down, however I am glad that Ishitani is doing what ishitani can to help people be safe. It is the individual person's responsibility to be safe but it is the responsibility of each of us to protect and care for our community. 私は動画が撮られたのは残念ですが、石谷さんは人々を安全にするために石狩ができることをしていることをうれしく思います。 安全を保障するのは個人の責任ですが、地域社会を保護し、世話するのはそれぞれの責任です。
I’m a carpenter, I’ve been one for 15+ years. I speak from experience when I say that the mortising of different shaped pieces of wood so that they fit together evenly is HARD
Three dimensional poetry. These videos are wonderful. I could(do) watch them for hours. The skill of these guys is incredible. How can you not want to build something after watching this video?
it's so relaxing and inspiring see him work, great camara shots, edition and music selection, great team! love to hear shiro steps! greetings from Lima, Perú 👍
6:07, I was trying to figure out why he was going to the trouble of making those little pegs with the double slits in them, but this just blew my mind. Using the tabs, and then inserting shims between them to make a tight fit and prevent and sort of relative motion or wiggle. Freaking genius!! I seriously am awestruck by this little technique! If there's one thing that will immediately render something as seeming cheap or poorly made, it's squeaking, wiggling or instability, but that little technique is a game changer.
Having the correct size machines for working with large lumber certainly makes the job easier (than when I wrestle with my six inch jointer and eight foo, lumber) HOWEVER, you sir, are a master. Machines or no machines. Brilliant joinery
Absolutely beautiful work I’d love to spend a week working along side him. I can only imagine the amount things you could pick up and learn. I’ll pay the flights and even the accommodation just for a week watching and learning. Thanks Tony
His work is great! He is use real " kalevela tecnique" for his furniture. This tecnique make his work perfect. This technique makes the furniture he makes unique. If I had a lot of money, I would buy every piece of furniture she made with my eyes shut.
No wonder why Mr. Ishitani has accomplished such a high level of perfection and beauty beyond expectation: That four legged assistant and quality supervisor Shiro seems to be severely strict and effective taking care of every single detail ;-) A sincere greeting and my gratitude for showing us your work... mmmhh... no, let me rephrase it: A sincere greeting and my gratitude for you AND YOUR TEAM for showing us your ART. Best Regards from México.
In school I managed to get to make a double bed for my A level - I still use it today and its built in a similar way, but you make it look SO easy - at every point while I was making it I was sweating, grunting and getting annoyed because I always forgot the limbs of the bed were taller than a door, so I ended up cloths lining myself multiple times while going through doors with them -.- well done though, this bed looks very professional and clean!
This reminds me of Shaker furniture, they were a religious sect that was also famous for their woodwork which was simple and had incredible attention to detail. Their furniture had no adornment but it had the beauty of a well-made object that suits its purpose well.
It's amazing how easily something so seemingly mundane as woodworking, can be made to be beautiful with patience, love, and great camera angles. I'd buy one of those beds in a heart beat. by the way.
I always love work with wood, but since i discover your videos, I fell in love the way you do all the work, and all my wish is, when i grow old, make something similar with my own hands. Thanks for the videos, they are inspiring.
Ive noticed every wood worker on UA-cam has a shop dog. Im starting to think that is the only thing standing between me being and being a master craftsman. Time to get a dog! すごい
what perfection buddy, what tools-manual and machines both. best video i have ever seen, now thats perfection. its like working with gold/diamonds, thats neat. i love Japan i just love everything that comes from Japan.
Beautiful piece of furniture - as always :) Just watching you do your thing is so relaxing that the first piano notes really startled me. (Yes, piano notes startled me. I was so relaxed.)
Que arte que tiene en sus manos este señor,le felicito ,porque he quedado maravillada para hacer tan perfecto su trabajo.es un perfeccionista . un saludo desde Chiclayo -Perú.
Another beautiful video. Nice to see that in this day of age, where technology rules, that still it's the simple things which count. Thank you Ishitani-san.

I totally agree with you. I'm a jeweller and it's the same in my trade. people bodging things together and calling themselves artists. It's so sad.

Thanks!

you're an artist and a furniture maker. a hard task to achieve. phenomenal work sir
This is one of my favorite channels, Real woodworking, able to follow with no sound, great designs totally motivational> Thank you for sharing

The dog
The work
The machines
The carpenter
And the perfection
I made my first bed
Learning by doiing
Thank you

Δεν υπάρχει ο τύπος. Έχει όμως και ότι μηχάνημα χρειάζεται. Όμως ξέρει τι χρειάζεται ;)
its the real art of woodworking, I watched 3 times and enjoy of his working
I kinda like the wave and irregularities in the wood before it was cut straight, still a beautiful piece. Shows a lot of craftsmanship and care
섬세한 손길에 멋진 가구가 만들어 지는것 같습니다 가족 모두 자유로움이 느껴 지네요좋은 영상 감사하고 계속 멋진 작품 기대해 봅니다.
This was more a video essay than making a bed. A meditation on craft, the relationship man his to his tools and the world around him. Wonderful work.
This guy is a TRUE craftsman...It takes many years to get this good. He makes it look so easy. I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay what this bed frame is worth but if I owned it I would admire the detail for life. WOW

Something that looks so simple. Yet takes hours to build. Not to mention the years to learn the skills needed to make one..
Great Stuff..
英語のコメントばかりだったので、最初は外国なのかな、と思いました。DIYビデオを見ている内に辿り着き、綺麗なベッドで見とれてしまいました。小学校の頃、中軽によく遊びに行っていました。アシスタントさんによろしく！
Your manners of working makes it look so easy. While watching these videos I tend to forget how hard carpentry actually is.
Such beautiful functional art that he makes, and his makers mark is so diminutive. Such a humble artist.
am i the only one who admires the use of modern tools to perfect the joining methods?
The detail that blows my mind though is the hand chamfering/bevelling of the protuding tenons/dowels (my woodworking terminology is shite)
top work +ishitani furniture
Skill and attention to little details even in hidden spots that few customers would ever see. That’s work with integrity. That gets my sub. - New Fan!

Mr. Ishitani, I greatly admire your works.
Your videos are a source of inspiration for my work.
Thank you very much.
Four videos into the channel and I'm in love. The proportion, materials and craft of all your designs is very elegant. Extraordinary work.
Three dimensional poetry. These videos are wonderful. I could(do) watch them for hours. The skill of these guys is incredible. How can you not want to build something after watching this video?
Clean lines. Oil finishes & Beautiful Hardwoods, can't beat that. You have some great cast iron machines, Real nice shop. Vinny
I really like the way he left the tenons slightly proud and beveled the edges..elegant touch.
As always ; simple and beautiful. A very talented young man. A big hello to Shiro please.
石谷さん、初めまして、凄く良い仕事しますよね、見てて良くわかります、丁寧そしてデザイン、何より伝統的な技！
弟子になりたいです、いつか石谷さんの家具を買ってみたいです。

yeah, hear his footsteps :) Thank you.
Also admiring his work from Lima Peru. Beautifully done

Enjoying his work as US transplant in the EU. Fantastic.. And yes we can hear the footsteps

It's beautiful work..search for Japanese carpentry...
@juukame those are wedged tenons and are used in many other applications like windsor chair legs, he also used it in his trestle table build.
Classical simplicity, beautiful. Greetings from Australia.
That bed is just beautiful. I love your little doggy I am a big dog fan please give him some love.
Great craftsmanship, ,, attention to detail is enviable😆
one of the best video i always watch and learn from... Thanks Mr. Ishitani for sharing
Having the correct size machines for working with large lumber certainly makes the job easier (than when I wrestle with my six inch jointer and eight foo, lumber) HOWEVER, you sir, are a master. Machines or no machines.
Brilliant joinery
You are a master in your craft, working in a quiet place like yours gives you a much focus on what you're doing..really enjoy watching how you work..
To watch this fellow working uplifts my spirits - thank you for taking time out to make this video and share it.
Hello friend,
I want to say thank you for sharing your work with us.you inspired me so much.pleade keep making new videos.
Absolutely beautiful work I’d love to spend a week working along side him. I can only imagine the amount things you could pick up and learn. I’ll pay the flights and even the accommodation just for a week watching and learning. Thanks Tony
It is nice to watch someone really working and not talking ! Keep going !
Precision of Your work is stunning. A fine piece of carpentry at it most exeptional form. Very inspirational. Keep it going.
The accuracy of everything he does is amazing. It is so satisfying to watch him work.
I'd stay in front of the screen weeks looking this man working... It's so relaxing and at the same time so interesting... Beautiful...
excellent- he makes it look simple and lets the wood speak for itself.
I'm short of words. This is no longer a craft, this is ART. That's the best I can come up with, and I'm really falling short.
Bravo, Maestro. Esto sí que es arte. Gracias por compartir su pasión y talento
Your work is beautiful Mr Ishitani.
🙏🙏🙏
Seeing your work and craftsmanship inspires me to start a new project.
the most beautiful furniture are those that look simple yet are carefully crafted. i would love to build a bed like this one day.
His work is great! He is use real " kalevela tecnique" for his furniture. This tecnique make his work perfect. This technique makes the furniture he makes unique. If I had a lot of money, I would buy every piece of furniture she made with my eyes shut.
Love the craftsmanship. Someone is going to end up with a beautiful heirloom piece of furniture.
No wonder why Mr. Ishitani has accomplished such a high level of perfection and beauty beyond expectation:
That four legged assistant and quality supervisor Shiro seems to be severely strict and
effective taking care of every single detail ;-)
A sincere greeting and my gratitude for showing us your work... mmmhh... no, let me rephrase it:
A sincere greeting and my gratitude for you AND YOUR TEAM for showing us your ART.

very nice workmanship. video done very well too...Good job 👍
I’m a big fan of your job, watching the videos over and over.
Very nice work, wood and video, and Shiro too!

I'm zen-ing out just watching this, I bet my man is meditating in the stratosphere while woodworking.
The finished piece is art, him making it is performance art! Double talent,WOW!!!
This reminds me of Shaker furniture, they were a religious sect that was also famous for their woodwork which was simple and had incredible attention to detail. Their furniture had no adornment but it had the beauty of a well-made object that suits its purpose well.
Best woodworker out there
It's amazing how easily something so seemingly mundane as woodworking, can be made to be beautiful with patience, love, and great camera angles.
I'd buy one of those beds in a heart beat. by the way.
don't know why seeing someone making a bed can be so touching....
Gordon Yeung bro you read my mind. 😎
Because seeing someone put great care into something is really inspiring, especially in our current times of Cheap and Fast
Worked for Mozart...
Haha😆
I always love work with wood, but since i discover your videos, I fell in love the way you do all the work, and all my wish is, when i grow old, make something similar with my own hands. Thanks for the videos, they are inspiring.
There is nothing to say that this bed is structurally superior.
To what? Structurally superior to what? This is his design of a bed. That's all.
I've been watching your videos at night to help calm me down and relax.
I am a Carpenter from France, country that has a great tradition in carpentry crafship but Still, I admire Japenese technics and art so much
I love you passion your work and the footage too 👌😍🙏
Very nice. I especially liked the double inserts in the tenons.
Ive noticed every wood worker on UA-cam has a shop dog. Im starting to think that is the only thing standing between me being and being a master craftsman. Time to get a dog! すごい
That looks so simple, yet so beautiful, it's a work of art. Congratulations and greetings from Brazil :)
True Craftsman. Nice clean lines. Elegant!
本日もgood👍アシスタントしろちゃん😊ぐっすり眠れそうな🛏ですね。
Wow like a surgeon, real deal and the dog insert is really a nice touch.

Excelente trabajo amigo saludos desde santa cruz bolivia y una consulta de cuanto metros cuadrado es su taller disculpe
Clean Job. Lovely. Once in Tamil Nadu (India), we used to do the same kind of work without modern machines.
All the best.
A really beautiful piece of furniture, a classic!
He creates a piece of art. Its a joy to just watch him work and learn from him.
