When I watch your videos, one word comes to mind: honesty. There's something special about someone doing what they're called to do. It's transcendent. It's honest. It's authentic. I'm reminded to keep that central to my woodworking.
Ishitani San is a skilful carpenter into fine workmanship. In mordern day, you don’t find less around. His furniture build to last. Appreciate time taken.
I had to stop woodworking for awhile. Finally, getting back into it. First video to pop up was this. I’ve missed watching your work. I’ve been re-inspired!
I’m a simple man. I see an ISHITANI FURNITURE video, I watch it several times. And then come back later and watch it more. The absolute best! Thank you for your art!
It's not just woodworking, it's art. I always enjoy your videos. And to be honest, I don't watch them right away. I wait until I have the time to enjoy them. Thank you for sharing the working process of your projects with us. Every project ends with a masterpiece. It is a pleasure to see a perfectionist like you working in his environment. Thank you and I hope to see much more from you.
Do you have any plans of doing a shop tour video? You have a few interesting machines not common to the USA. I'd love to see an overview of the workshop and the material flow process. Love your work. Thanks for sharing it. Have a great day.
It’s like listening to classical music, a timeless tribute of working with wood and the finest craftsmanship. An absolute work of art. Thank you for sharing.
Best woodworker/ designer on UA-cam imo.He dosent try and be all funny and ask you to subscribe and like video.Before you even watch it.. Like all the bearded wannabes. No talk..just gets right to work .And the quality is simply amazing. I WOULD LIKE TO BUY A WRITING DESK FROM YIUR COMPANY. I WILL TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IN TOUCH.
Hello ,Sir! Ur one of my absolutely favorite furniture maker/ designer among , alvar aalto , yrjö kukkapuro & such. Ur vids single handedly got me into making furnitures and learning about japanese carpenter stuff. Love ur work ,past 5-6 years allways w8 ur vids. Mad respect ,thank u ,Sir.
A couple of things please. It gives me great energy watching you create such understated elegant furniture. Always gives me a smile when you perch "on high" looking over grain patterns etc. The photography is excellent....ask me how I know. I'm a one man shop too and once did things I shouldn't like lifting heavy awkward assemblies. The 9 screws in my lumbar spine remind me of each of them. Please do not end up like me.
Mind boggling mathematics, & the frame to the top: first slide pressure fit- jaw dropping. We'd love to see you find a helper/apprentice for lifting big pieces on the jointer; as all great masters pass skills along.
I've seen all of Ishitani's videos and when he took the tabletop to the jointer I was shocked! Never seen him doing that before, I was worried about a back injury.
Love watching his videos at the end he makes such beautiful furniture well thought out and just gets on with it. 😊😊 Such a beautiful place where you live especially with the mountains in the background 👍👍
We've seen a lot of Master Ishitani-san's skills over the years - but this is the pinnacle, I think. I'm more impressed than I can express. Thank you for letting us watch.
Amazing, as always. Seeing you use a small wedge between the pipe clamp and panel to correct a panel that bowed under clamping pressure was an "aha moment" for me... simple and effective!
Uwielbiam Twoje filmy i podziwiam Twoją pracę Jesteś Najlepszy . Pozdrawiam z Polski I love your videos and I admire your work You are the best . Greetings from Poland 私はあなたのビデオが大好きで、あなたの作品を賞賛しています。あなたは最高です。 ポーランドからのご挨拶
Ishitani San are into fine details. Table top not that flat. Use top rail with Detail grove to pull it in shape. In planner, slow push to get less cutting marks. All into fine workmanship 🫡 Always finish with hand plane to dress down cutter marks. Bravo jobs done 👍
Awwe yes. The best woodworking trio on the internet!
There's something so Zen about watching you work. No unnecessary chit chat or flashy editing. Just woodworking
Refreshing, isn’t it? :-)
Indeed
much others can learn from keeping chit-chat to a minimum or simply using subtitles...
Agree. Put the chit chat or trivia in the description box. 😊

ありがとう。あなたの仕事は技術的に非常に刺激的です。あなたはよくやります。
COOL!
Oh, you have willows blooming already.
We have still fat snow. I miss my small simple workshop. Wish the spring come soon...
🌞 A truly beautiful table! Spring has arrived, and Shiro is still around. All great news! 😎✌️
Ishitani, like ever, is the best!
Craftsmanship is truly a universal language

4:51 Placing those shims/wedges illustrates his meticulousness so well. A real pleasure to watch a master at work.
Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Drinking coffee while watching this is just 👌🏻
Amen to that. When a new Ishitani video drops, I wait until I have a quiet morning so I can enjoy it with a good cup of coffee ☕
Stunning design and craftsmanship as usual. Thank you for making such beautiful content.
Always a pleasure to find an Ishitani video waiting in my queue. Thanks for posting.

Yes beautiful table . Nice farm ground with snow covered mountains. What kind of crops are grown there? Thanks for sharing
Everytime he's not happy how the part turned out, he goes for a walk 😀
no wonder your furniture is so beautiful when you live in a place like that
What a wonderful day in the woodshop.
I'm so happy whenever i see a new video!!!

Going under the table too insert wedges. Fantastic
Guardando i tuoi video, si può solo stare in silenzio e cercare di imparare, grazie mille che li condividi. Buona giornata.

You have such beautiful tools. That huge jointer makes me so jealous.
Thanks for always sharing with us!💖👍😎
美しい…
No greater joy than to watch another woodworker who has epic skills-you are the Sam Maloof of Japanese woodworking!!!
I love his machines. No safeties.. Just watch what you are doin and keep your finger where they are safe. No need to over think things!
A good craftsman makes his work look easy which, of course, it isn't.
Love the layout of the workshop too. Very efficient.
素朴で緻密な作品の制作過程をいつも楽しく拝見させて頂いています！動画の構成も本当に美しくて！
Beautiful
You are my master. Beautiful craft.
Excellent craftsmanship done by a master
Simple elegance.
Another masterpiece
너무 이쁘다. I particularly love the way your handles match the angles of your joints. 잘했어요 선생님 !
Awesome master piece yet again. It is very very relaxing to watch you work the way you do. No talk no noise. Just natural wood working sounds
It's so inspiring to watch ur videos... And a huge fan of Japanese tools... ❤ It 😊... Please make more things 😊
Another beautiful piece. That would’ve taken me 9 summers and 12 jackets to complete.
Always the best breakfast video to get inspired for the day :)
Great work as always!
Take care and please let your doggo for me :)
