- How to make a japanese style bookshelf with traditional hand cut joinery out of jatoba and oak using both power and hand tools. A very unique and beautiful build that challenged me and was very rewarding.

Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.
日本の伝統技法が消えかかってきている時代に、このようにして日本の古代技術を評価してくれて、美しく作りあげていることに感動します。
これからも日本の技術を駆使して地球にやさしいものづくりを目指してください！
It seems you’re living your dream. Doing what you love while making money and sharing it with others. Awesome.

@@fatherlandchild2780 Oh no
Classic dog.
So dark….so true
I respect craftsmanship like this, so amazing how so many joints and holdings can be made without using adhesives, nails, scrws, etc
Next time can you show a still shot of the final piece for a bit? Thanks
And include the top portion too ^^

It's bizarre this wouldn't be common sense for anyone

Yes, would have loved to have seen more details of the finished piece. It looked beautiful.
Chris, your artwork is incredible. Every piece you make you just make it as if it was the main masterpiece, and that gives you a distinctive perfection to your handmade woodwork. A lot of people when work by hand they tend to get a nice finish, but you can tell it has been handmade. Your dedication, precision and meticulousness just make your work stand out. You really motivate me to keep working on all these DIY projects and working with wood in general, which really transmit all the work that has been put behind. Keep it up, your content is so good and we love watching it!
Thank you so much!
For a non Japanese woodworker to actually practice this style of craftsmanship and being so good and careful at it is actually very impressive. The whole construction is satisfying to watch! Wish you'd show the whole look more and details. And I think without chamfers It'll already be looking Japanese-esque due to the joints and the finish you use. You just got yourself a new sub and a like! YAY!
Well that client is a lucky human.
That shelf will be in the family for generations.
Thanks for the upload
This was amazing. So much work done with handtools. no glue, screws or nails or metal. Very nice job.
The wedges recessing into the feet is a beautiful detail. Nice work Chris!
Thank you. It was a fun accent to play with, too bad its so hard to see way down at the bottom!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman subtle details are what really matter in my opinion. After a customer has had a work of art for a while, they may notice new things about it over time.
No glues, screws and nails. Love this kind of work. Good job fella.
i really love the japanese style look. and the way the do stuff without fasteners or glue. that stuff lasts for centuries.
I never cared about building videos or woodworking. This video was just recommended to me on my home page. I clicked it and enjoyed every minute. Great stuff!
What joy to watch a passionate man working with some classic tools and classic Japanese techniques.
I absolutely love the purity of this design ! Thank you for making the plans so affordable too !
Love it, man. For me, the best thing about this video is not the shelf ... but how you talk about your process and encourage various methods. Really sweet.
Thanks man. That actually means a lot to me. I always debate doing the narration or not. For one I dont like my voice, and 2 I wonder if the video would be better without narration. but I am glad to see that at least one person liked that part of it haha.
You could go either way with an amazing project like that one -- but the narration adds a lot, in my opinion
At the start I was a bit confused on how you were making it, then it all started making sense and I realized how good of a craftsman you are. Awesome job mate. Liked and subscribed.
Dang. Speechless at the final result. Oh, and the skill sets needed to create this.
I've been fascinated everything Japanese for 40 years, and interlocking joinery for 25
Great work!
I don't have the vocabulary to describe how great this job is. I really love this.
Haha Thank you!
First and foremost, love the dog, second, I love the way this project came out and not using any nails or glue. There is something very satisfying about it being 100% wood. I've been thinking about doing some projects with a similar technique, also so that when I move, it's easier to take apart. That finish too, I may have to give that a shot! Very nice work!
Thanks man. I really appreciate the kind words! Im glad you liked the video and yes it is very satisfying and rewarding to do it with just mechanical joinery like this. I think you'll really appreciate the work too if you give it a try. Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions along the way
I don't think getting this apart would be easy at all.
@@YourStylesGeneric321 no I dont think this could be dissembled
The other shelves would come apart easily, but the problem would be taking the top off because of the wedges he drove in.
Sweet bookshelf! And I am jealous of that hardwood dealer.
Yea im spoiled. I cant imagine any place that tops this.
Mine is good, but the stock prep service, I need that!
I need a place like this.
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman I'm 5 mins down the road from their IN location, It's a bit smaller, but Johnson's is a magic place.
This is the second time I've watching this video completely through. Something about it is just relaxing. Great job all around!
Beautiful piece, always fun watching a master craftsman at work. Like most woodworking projects, 95% of people don’t understand all the intricate cuts and joinery involve as most of it is hidden. Thanks again for taking the time to share
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. This was very relaxing to watch.
I know nothing about carpentry, but that's beautiful work.
This is what I have been looking for. Excellent craftsmanship! Keep up the good work.
Chris, thank you for posting your work and the methods you use to accomplish them. I really love watching you create things using hand tools. I can barely do things with power tools. Watching you tells me its possible with enough time and forethought. I really love your work!
Thanks for the kind words man! Means a lot!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman You bet! I wish you and your family well!
Now that is what I call craftsmanship. That piece turned out absolutely beautiful.
I really liked this. I'm glad you me tioned stuff like being gentle with tapping in wedges and the stain you used was amazing. Great job.
He didn't use stain.
Beautiful shelf! Love the design and loved watching the process! Very impressed with your level of craftsmanship!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and video work
That is the finest craftmanship I have ever seen on youtube. Well done ( and thanks for making me feel inadequate )!
fossils fabe , then you need to treat yourself to Sashimono woodworking..theres lots on youtube. These men are national treasures. Masters.
by far one of the most informative craftsman on youtube and his work is beyond beautiful. im a huge fan!!!!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely STUNNING, Chris! You've got an amazing gift, my friend. What a beautiful piece and the craftsmanship is second to none. Just love how it turned out and wish I just a fraction of your skill. So cool how there's no fasteners at all! Also, thanks for the tip on Johnsons. I'd love to visit them sometime when I'm in their area.
You definitely need to come check out Johnsons! bring a trailer for all the wood youll take back. Give me a call and ill meet you there. And thanks for the kind words Drew! Always giving me way too big of a head haha!
The fact you two know each other makes me happy. I found you two at about the same time and I'm consuming your content rapidly. You both are inspiring me to come up with more and better excuses for my wife. Thank you both!
exquisite result, how ingenious were the ancient woodworkers
Beautiful bookshelf, Chris. The color tones of the jatoba and oak work very well together. Have you tried your hand at Japanese/Chinese/Korean joinery? Warning: if you follow the rabbit down that hole... Finally, when you showed us Johnson's Workbench, I had to go get a beer so I could cry into it :-) Clyde
hahaha this comment is hilarious. I know I am super lucky to have Johnson's near me. Its the best! And thank you for the kind words. I've only dabbled in Japanese joinery. I dont know a ton about it and havent learned really anything about chinese or korean joinery. Where would you suggest I start? I love rabbit holes!!!!
Many of my references are articles from woodworking magazines -- Fine Woodworking (charter subscriber...) the late, lamented "Woodworking Magazine", etc. Pre-UA-cam. Pre-Internet. Yeah, when I was young I had no Internet and walked five miles to school. In the snow. Uphill both directions :-) Later, bits & pieces from forums, woodworker's websites, and yes, UA-cam. The best book I have on Chinese joinery is a Dover reprint of "Chinese Domestic Furniture in Photographs and Measured Drawings" by Gustav Ecke. My favorite Japanese work is "The Art Of Japanese Joinery" by Kiyosi Seike. I've not really explored Korean joinery, but it's as sophisticated as any. For a delicious taste watch this: ua-cam.com/video/aD6qdJNU7GE/v-deo.html Finally, a hint: floating tenons are your friend... Clyde
"Uphill both directions" lmao ^^
I've seen this video several times. For the first time more than a year ago. It's a beautiful creation and beautiful work.
Woodworking is so satisfying to watch.
What a great design and execution. That customer better of been a mother in law or paid a pretty penny for that piece. That is gorgeous work, you could put it in a museum...
The customer paid wayyyyyy to little for it. Kind of makes me sick to think about it. I gotta stop doing that! thanks for the kind words man. means a lot to me!
Ya, I value my time based on what it is taking time away from. It is not like I need the work. I am building a stunning modern take on a shaker table right now. Should be done soon. But I think I figured out a rate that worked for me going forward. With the handtool twist, no glue, and all joinery, that is a 10k$ museum piece for most craftsman. Beautifully done, a work of love. Can I get one for 300$
Third Coast Craftsman if you dont mind me asking not to put salt in the wound but how long did it take and how much did you charge?
Third Coast Craftsman send me a msg of how much you would charge for this exact same product to make again
My husband is learning the lesson about commissions right now. I learned it awhile ago. But this seemed to be an excellent one-off or prototype for the real deal at the real price, perhaps!
This is my favourite woodworking Chanel by far keep it up!!
Wow Tom! Thanks so much. That really means a lot to me. Especially knowing all the awesome channels out there!
Yes very great, I love mr chickadee videos too!!!
My father had that 4:31 thing . Feeling nostalgic. I used to play that since he's a carpenter before, when I was so lil 😍🙈
It was a pleasure watching your work. I think I started drooling a bit there...
Goodness, this is so beautiful! Making something so mechanically simple yet reliable and beautiful, without any glue or metal screws... I'm in awe. Thank you very much for sharing !!
7:48
When you announced the partnership and showed their workshop and store you made a planning shot
Next time, turn off your cameras stabilization to avoid the jittering
I really like how the bottom wedges recess into the foot piece. My favorite spot in the whole project was at 14:34
Thanks man. I do like the look of it as well. I know how to improve the stregth of it as well in the future if I do something like this again
*Nice shelve.* The quality of the wood is over the edge. It's like art at this level.
....................
As other people suggested the teaser of the final result at the beginning of the video would be great as an appetizer for the audience. Have fun !
Just gorgeous. New to wood working. Thank u for a beautiful piece of furniture.
You are and Excellent craftsman., You always give extensive details about your work.
You could have shown the finished work for much longer time
MAN!! u are lucky to have that awesome of a supplier so close.& Here I thought I was lucky living 15 mins from rockler..lol ..shelf looks BEAUTIFUL as ALWAYS Chris.love that color combo! Lucky client!
Tell me about it. this place is the best! Thanks for the kind words and checking the video out man!
Nicely edited/soudn and music. I like the project too. Tight wedges without gaps are like symphony to me. Good job man. Regards
Thank you sir, much appreciated! I am glad you found the video and enjoyed it!
Wow! I have seen woodworkers. Now I’ve seen a master. Awesome work.
That's some nice construction. The client that ordered it knew their stuff. Hope there's more to come!
I love and appreciate these vids.. How did I just find you now?
BUT and its a little but... The panning on your adhook for the hardware store... great hook great store! ... but the panning speed makes me instantly crosseyed.
I think I will learn a lot from your channel. Thanks for that!
Yeah, a lot of videographers tend to rush it. It's video. You can leave the camera stationary and let it soak up the video, no need to pan like you are in a rush to get the heck out of there. Another issue people have is zooming, it should basically never be done. If you need a closeup, zoom later and cut that into the video. Oh well.
Finally someone truly appreciate the japanese carpentry way
Yeah, it's nice craftmanship, but nothing specially japanese about this joinery. These methods were used in the west the same way
when I was a kid I wanted to become a carpenter. Then I grew up and became an industrial mechanic. Still love wood though...
I'd get into the industry more but I have a med card so sadly I'm fat out of luck.
I wanted to be a blacksmith when I grew up, you know what I became?
HIV positive
this is a level above the average DIY videos i have seen. this is a Master Level craft right here. I also enjoyed your music choice. it was serene.
Wow!! That level of perfection is amazing
Great job with the Sashimono project ! 🍶🇯🇵
Thanks Ty
I'm so jealous of your hardwood dealer, wish there was an even slightly similar place close to where I live
The sped up chiselling sounded like a wood pecker - didn't expect that
What a great bookshelf. Amazing!
The precision of what you built is not lost on me. Wow man. This is some amazing work.
That's some mad chisel-work, man.
Auto-focus might be your bane, but woodwork certainly isn't. :D
jajaj, the dog's face... "who he is talking to?"
By the way, amazing job. Cheers from Uruguay
This is what I feel like i'm doing on my weekends off when the wife has ordered new IKEA flat pack bedroom furniture she wants me to assemble.
XD
I'm honestly in awe of this work, its fascinating to watch you work.
liked and subbed.
I know the video has been out for a while but just watched it. Mad respect for your hand tool skills, and really dig the finished shelf.
you called it on being jealous of your local wood shop... that place is awesome... you have great skill too, thanks for making plans available!
Oh man Chris!! This turned out awesome man! And I'm completely jealous of your lumberyard. Mine's pretty cool too but I can't get any boards shorter than eight feet :(
Yea im pretty spoiled haha. Glad you liked the project man. Thanks for checking it out :)
Man ive been a fan of your work for a long time along with ishitani, your videos are really really inspiring, so much that i decided to quit my wallmart job and start doing what i love to do but i faced a big question about woodworking. How to sell stuff? do you do your pieces and then sell them or are them maded for an specific customer? im really questioning the desition that i took because it seems imposible to find customers. I post stuff on facebook pages and a ton of people talk to me asking for jobs but no one seems to want to fulfill them, like, how much for this?... and i answer "this much" then they reply with ok, let me get the money and i talk to you, which ovbiously never happen.
Is there any advice from a pro like you that actually live out of this beautiful job to make the bussines more profitable?
btw, cheers from Chile man, your work is awesome.
Hi there. First thanks so much for the kind words. I watch Ishitani too and he is incredible. To mention me in the same sentence as him is a huge compliment to me. To answer your question. Custom jobs are somewhat are to find. You have to build a name and reputation for yourself first which takes time. It might mean doing some projects for slightly less or doing projects you dont want to. Maybe take some work to craft shows.
Also, I still work a regular full time job. there is no way I could make a living doing this full-time yet. My hopes are that I can make a living at this in the near future by making videos and getting paid with sponsorships and other things moreso than just selling furniture.
Just keep at it, build a portfolio of your work and what you can do and eventually you should get there my friend. best of luck and thanks so much for watching!
Every tree should wish to end up in a workpiece such as this when they die. Lol
It's a joy to see you work! You know what you are doing! Love it!
that is a masterpiece man you really know what youre doing
I really like the whole shelf, to bad I am missing 90% of the tools needed! 😭
That dog was like, "I'm not allowed up here. So why did hooman put me up here. Am confused."
I retired from army. The pay was low and I am now working in a cubicle, seeing this I decided to start working on wood. The missus says, after she dies, I can. I said, you live or die, I am starting ASAP!
Sohel Mahboob you said it brother.
@@johndeggendorf7826 hard to find tools here in Bangladesh. Harder to train too. But I'm on!
I know next to nothing about woodwork/crafting, but this blew me away! So beautiful!
Love the use of all the hand tools. It really shows craftsmanship and attention to detail
Great work dude. Awesome piece.
I shouldn't watch this video! Now all others videos on woodworking will be boring... This bookshelf is on the next level!
Sweetness man. if you ever want to do a colab let me know. I am game for it.
Thanks man. Yea I would be game. we will have to figure something out!
I see this happening all the time. Who would have thought UA-cam would in the end turn into a collaboration space! Love both your channels!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman
How long did this project take?
Some of these look like they require a day or a weekend, but feels like it should take like three weeks to perfect the joints.
A pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Master joinery. Just amazing.
I'm so making a smaller vrs if this for my house. Aka apartment when I'm 18.
I should sell my tools and go work at McDonald's.
hahahahah
See if they have an opening for me also...!
Are you selling your table saw?
Two mistakes you make there! Both selling your tools and go to McDonalds :P
Don't do it guys !!! Draw inspiration, try harder. I'm resolved to get out in my shed and lift my game.
Great vid and impressive craftsmanship. But please add some image stabilization in post-processing or get a gimbal. Some video is a bit too shaky and would love to have studied the early shop photos more!
The lines... simple, gorgeous.
WOW !!!! That is beautiful .
"Whenever I consulted my client about my methodology, they reminded me that they hired me to waste piles of their money in front of their friends"
yes its on yt ofc
The "client" in this case feels like a snoot. No nails. No glue. Organic finish. woof...
You and the Samurai Carpenter need a face off making the same thing and let us decide who wins 🌝🌚
15minute Video, Only shows final piece for 15 seconds.
Yeah I have to agree with the below comments. Maybe you are not sure how long you should leave up certain parts or how long a video should be that will keep attention, but for people who care i would have watched this for another 20 min .. the beauty of the wood and your craftsmanship had me glued. Keep it up more of this japanese style work Is always welcomed! I hope to be where you are one day !
Words dont describe how rad ur videos are,cant wait to build this
Great bookshelf, Waiting the whole video to see a full picture of it, then you just cut back to you :(
You can use Stodoys plans instructions to build it in the cheapest way.
Literally never saw a book on it and hardly saw the end product :/
Traditional hand cut looks beautiful. I love how perfect you shape a hole or smoothen the edges by using the traditional tools. Thumbs up for an awesome video!
Stunning bookcase anyone would be proud to have in their home
