I’m a brand new woodworker, and it just seems like every project I watch you do I learn something new, no matter how simple the project is. Thanks for the great content.
Watching you work reminds me so much of sitting on the floor of my dads workshop watching him make things that we actually used in our house. Now that he’s gone they are treasures..,. watching your gentle ease of working those beautiful pieces from simple wood to thoughtful aesthetic furnishings is awesome. Thanks 🔨
Your work shows a nice balance between pretty and practical. You work like somebody who's got a young wife and young kids! It's stuff that's built to last but it's built for people, not art critics.
It's craftsmanship like this that keeps my interest alive. Can't wait to have a garage sale. It would make more than enough room to be able to start woodworking again.
I like the style, i wasnt sure how i felt about the wedges on the brace between the legs at first, but compared to any other ways i can come up with i definitely like the way it turned out. Ill definitely be making something similar soon
Beautiful! No need for plans, you showed all. Had planned to make a hop-up a couple of days ago - glad I held off. Many thx. Will take a bit longer as I won't be using electrics but I don't mind.
This is so impressive to build something like this without using nails or screws... I bet it requires a lot of patience and also a mountain of failures to overcome to get to this level of craftsman.
It's really just about acquiring some knowledge! Once you know about how to go about the process and the steps involved you can make alot of stuff without screws or nails. I just built an end table with mortise and tenons only.. No screws and it is rock solid and will last generations. If it is something you're interested in learning it is very rewarding! Give it a shot!
i just resonantly got my hands on a set of chisels and a ryoba saw and made my first box i i really want to thank you for giving me the motivation to doing it man keep up the work man
Hi Jesse, have just made a bench seat that needs sanding over then I can put it all together, it has the bench seat top with panel legs I partly noticed into top. Now the problem is I used one width of centre piece wood to hold the legs in place so the legs presently can flap about somewhat, do I need to get a wider underside board to correct this? Now at 6:40 mins that bar you got hold of is the bit done wrong, you have wedges pointing at each other while I have mine pointing towards me
This bench is gorgeous. This is what I want to build for my first mortise and tenon project. It may not be quite that fancy. What kind of wood is that? Looks like the dark pegs are walnut and the bench is white oak?
I really miss your older videos....the ones you used to make before Makers Mob and the school. Not many of real people can afford to pay for information that you got for free. I hope Neil's channel stays the same since he recently joined your mob. You were one of the true craftsman left.
Great video! Wish there was a little more focus on that bottom tenon joinery. Im a noob, but tried to recreate it with some scrap, and the angle of the mortise messed me up! 😆
Hey mate....l could watch you for hours.. and do watch your old vids too over and over...your a craftsman and a pleasure to watch work. Ignore the moaners and follow your own path. Great project.
honest question regarding those designs: I do understand the joinery and all of that... what doesn't seem to enter my brain, are the curves and beautiful aesthetics of Japanese or at least Japanese-like designs. Are there rules to that (I don't know, like the golden Ratio or so on) or is it simply something that you draw freely? Tips on that would be welcome :) Thanks in advance.
Wedges are small, so there really shouldn't be to much lateral stress. I don't think it would have looked near as nice if the wedges were driven in the other way.
May I know which router bit you used for chamfering the top part od the stool? It seems it must be bit with bearing bit because the cut was done free hand. But I see no flat spot around the edge as a result of the bearing. Thanks for inspirational project.
The time-lapse on the sanding part of the tenons looked awesome. I love watching the chiselling part, even though It was time-lapsed I can appreciate the time you put into this. And, seeing how sharp your chisels and planes are compared to mine... I think I'll make something like this with my children. Thanks for showing us how to make it, bro. Really nice stool that.
How long do the gyokucho blades last you? I got a Suizan ryoba and the crosscut teeth and slowing down noticably and starting to wander. Also, Where can I look through full lineup of Gyokucho saws?
Absolutely love the videos, great inspiration, one question where do you get your wood, living here in the uk all I can seem to find is softwoods, also just starting out making things so I suppose it’s good practice to not destroy good quality wood
I am currently working on my second Samurai shop stool. On this small stool, what size drill bit did you use for the relief holes on the tenons and, you did not appear to use glue on the wedges. Did you?
Looked like a number 5 drill bit, but can be what ever you want, between a 4 and 6 id say. He put glue in the relief cuts then put the top on, then drove the wedges in. Id say it was to keep it as clean as possible as its pre finished so less clean up.
Bonjour a toi désolé de parler en français mais mon anglais ainsi que mon japonnais sont vraiment très mauvais (samouraï). Je voulais juste te dire que cette après-midi tu m'a encore inspiré et que c'est toujours un plaisir de regardé . Merci vraiment
Can be done either way. I think Jesse was showing different ways to remove material before squaring it up with the chisels. Also when he used the router he used his router edge guide which requires a straight edge parallel to the hole your cutting. If the edge is not parallel to the hole you need to cut then the forstner bit is a great tool to use.

Hi Jesse , Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences.awesome program.
What a splendid project. It was indeed a treat to watch it.
i just resonantly got my hands on a set of chisels and a ryoba saw and made my first box i i really want to thank you for giving me the motivation to doing it man keep up the work man
next im going to try to make a legless chair with a pallet XD
very nice stool.
Such a cool stool, thanks
I love you tutorial and always learning thanks to you I suscribed greets from Costa Rica
Pegs and wedges look so much better than modern nails and screws.

Very nice work! You are very talented.
How do you like using hold-fasts versus clamps for holding items to a bench?
I really miss your older videos....the ones you used to make before Makers Mob and the school. Not many of real people can afford to pay for information that you got for free. I hope Neil's channel stays the same since he recently joined your mob. You were one of the true craftsman left.
Very nice stool, but one question: Why would you permanently wedge the legs to the top, but hold the stretcher between the legs with removable wedges?
Nice project. How did you achieve the bevel cut with your router? Best regards.
Beautiful!
Do not underestimate the importance of the tongue movement at 7:35 when doing precision work like this.
Yeah seriously. One wrong move and you can scar up the finished side.
Excelente!!! Me declaro tu fan número uno. Tienes los planos o medidas del banquito ?
Well done!
Great video!
Wish there was a little more focus on that bottom tenon joinery. Im a noob, but tried to recreate it with some scrap, and the angle of the mortise messed me up! 😆
Good to see you again.
Maybe it's time to invest in a CNC machine ?
lovely design
I love how you always need a small factory to make these things.
You can do all of this by hand but it will take you a lot more time and a different set of skills.
Hey mate....l could watch you for hours.. and do watch your old vids too over and over...your a craftsman and a pleasure to watch work. Ignore the moaners and follow your own path. Great project.
Good to see you doing well, Jesse. Keep it up bro!

Please come back, you teach us so much 👍
Can't wait till you make 1.000.000 subs. Outstanding work on every episode. Love ya man.
what router bit are you using at 6:13 to get the backwards angle? like a 17 degree angle or thereabouts?
You make the difficult look easy! Beautiful work.
As always the design is dope. Your precision with hand tools is something to aspire to. Very impressive.
Dude, cutting that little shoulder for your flush trim bearing to ride on was CLUTCH!
Dunno much about routers, why was the shoulder thing a good idea?
@@ApexHerbivore the bearing follows the surface it is on, so the cutter part of the router bit cuts exactly the same as what the bearing is following.
@@prodriver12345 ah ok, gotcha.. thanks :)
Samurai, you make that look so easy.
Awesome work, Jesse.
I am curious about the direction of the wedges in the top tenons and how you avoid splitting the top along the grain.
Wedges are small, so there really shouldn't be to much lateral stress. I don't think it would have looked near as nice if the wedges were driven in the other way.
What is the wood type that you typically use for dowels? Is it those round bars that they sell at the home Depot store?
May I know which router bit you used for chamfering the top part od the stool? It seems it must be bit with bearing bit because the cut was done free hand. But I see no flat spot around the edge as a result of the bearing. Thanks for inspirational project.
I don’t see no link for the 6 project plans, sir.
How to obtain your project plan’s?
The time-lapse on the sanding part of the tenons looked awesome. I love watching the chiselling part, even though It was time-lapsed I can appreciate the time you put into this. And, seeing how sharp your chisels and planes are compared to mine... I think I'll make something like this with my children. Thanks for showing us how to make it, bro. Really nice stool that.
very nice. I just didn't understand why you would have a joint that comes apart across the bottom, and one that is permanent on the top.
Incredible skill
Very good!!
Nice job. Very nice.
Jim
Glad to have this vids back Mr Samurai. Pls don’t make me watch bad imitation vids of DIY workers in garages anymore !
How long do the gyokucho blades last you? I got a Suizan ryoba and the crosscut teeth and slowing down noticably and starting to wander. Also, Where can I look through full lineup of Gyokucho saws?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 amazing.
Very nice!
Looks amazing like all of your other projects! I'm curious how much weight it can hold
Kyle Verduin at least 300lbs
@@TheSamuraiCarpenter that's awesome. Keep up the good work 🤘
It can hold the fattest man in America.
Love to watch your makes. Such quality work. Peace
San Antonio's smashing the like botton yahoooooooooo kaboooooooooooooom
Looks Great!
very good as always 👍💯💯💯👏👏👏👏
I made one of these a wile ago for my mum she loved it
Un buen trabajo, Felicidades. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalunya.
Why no glue on the tenon wedges to hold the top on?
Excellent job Brother. . . Sweet. . .Inspirational. . .Keep doing this please. . Thanks . . 👍🤚
You make it look so easy. Thanks!
I’m noticing improvements in the camera angles. Much better for seeing what your doing. Thanks.
I was waiting for your new project for a while now. Awesome work brother.
Love it. Was great to see different techniques from the one I made, which seems very similar. Thank you.
De lujo maestro muy bueno gracias por compartir que Díos te bendiga
Has anybody tried building this?
I didn't see plans on the website. What measurements did you use?
Samurai! Whats your opinion about machine sharpening like Tormek?
How do iron board holders work?
so cool 🤩
please tell me you have a video coming on the picture frame on your insta
Enjoying the vids again mate thought you had left us 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful
This is the reason I subscribed to your channel, fabulous!
Dude!
I really enjoy what you’re doing.
It’s motivating, inspirational, informative and a real pleasure to indulge in. Keep it up!
Absolutely love the videos, great inspiration, one question where do you get your wood, living here in the uk all I can seem to find is softwoods, also just starting out making things so I suppose it’s good practice to not destroy good quality wood
ممتاز جدا جدا أتمنى لك التوفيق والنجاح في عملك استمر واعطنا دروس في النجارة 👍👍👍👍🕋
shouldn't the wedges be rotated 90 degrees so an overly exuberant woodworker doesn't split the top?
Congratulations master.
That's a great-looking stool man.
Great looking little stool Jesse! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍👌😎JP
Genio!!!!! Abrazo desde Argentina👌👌👌👌
Can anyone tell me what timber was used in this project thanks......
That's absolutely beautiful.
That is awesome
Very good
Whatever you're at, we're still here, Samurai.
I was sort of thinking the same thing my friend. . .

Bruce Martin 3/16” no glue but you can use it if you want.
Woow great job. greetings from Turkey👏👏
I really like the lines of that stool. What is that wood?
Hans Packer looks like maple and walnut
Your videos are phenomenal❤
Beautiful and perfect as always... sigh. 😍

Very good job 🔜🆕🆙👍👌
Ficou muito bonito parabéns pelo seu trabalho
is there a particular reason you used a plunge router for some mortises and a forstner bit for others?
Can be done either way. I think Jesse was showing different ways to remove material before squaring it up with the chisels. Also when he used the router he used his router edge guide which requires a straight edge parallel to the hole your cutting. If the edge is not parallel to the hole you need to cut then the forstner bit is a great tool to use.
Great job!!!
