Viewers should take time to appreciate how much skill, experience, and preparation it takes to be able to repeatedly cut wood with such precision that the pieces click together as if they were injection molded plastic or cut by a CNC.
I agree...I have not the patience or skill to work wood to metal tolerances...it also says he uses high quality materials and tools. Working metal like that is not that hard, working wood like that will always be impressive to me. Incredibly beautiful. Then he builds his own PCB and electronics...a true craftsman.
These lamps are beyond incredible. I can't imagine having the patience and precision to make these things. I would go insane trying to make one of these, let alone multiple.
Dear Sir, These lamps are exceedingly well made with such delicate care & attention to details. I am sure any Japanese craftsman would be delighted to see an outsider making these lamps so well. The results of your labour show an outstanding skill & patience which you amply demonstrate. Very well done. Kind regards.
I love the accompanying music playing with this video, very well matched. I also love how relaxing it was watching this video. I almost feel like I want to make building these lamps my new hobbie but I know it must take decades of patience and skill development that I certainly don't have. You are a master of zen and of wood craft.
you always look so calm when you are building - I expect that most of us are in the "frantic" mode most of the time!! actually, I really like your "puzzle" style corners instead of actual through-mortising - it looks like the right choice for these small lamps
Your perfection is evident not only in your sashimono but in your camera work as well. A wonderfully made video! I too have a helper neko in my shop...
The projects are cool and all, but the camera work is fantastic. I dig the music choices, too. I can only take so much dubstep while watching people build stuff.
the attention to all the small details are beautiful, when i was stationed in japan I payed A LOT of money for something like this, now I can make them myself ...
I attempted to make a couple of this style lamp for my sister last xmas, the pieces are still on my workbench awaiting another attempt. I learned a great deal as to how your precision cuts are made. Thank you
Cuts are important, but also the pieces they need to be perfectly squared and straight before so you can register them to eventual jigs or make markings etc then perform the cuts
Fantastic video. Just bought the plans as a thanks for this! Now to work out how to make without a table saw! I suspect I can add a few days to the process!
I think if you sold the precut wood blocks and paper I would buy immediately. I occasionally have trouble with this type of precision because I use mostly hand tools. But I’d pay for such appreciation to the product and craft.
I considered selling them also as kits, but they will still need some kind of fine tuning, especially the kumiko panels. Even if the frame is perfectly made, there will still be little little imperfections in squareness for example, and the lamp being so small all those will be amplified and visible. I fine tune/edge plane each kumiko panel at the shooting board to match precisely in those spaces. I haven't show it here in the clip, but you can see it on an older one I made almost a year ago.
I love working with wood. I love doing anything with ym hands, its the best. This would be a tedious and hard, long project for me... It would be totally worth it. Unfortunate I have little to no cahs for either to buy the product or to make it myself (lack of wood working tools) but I have a 3 printer, a cad program and skills that cannot go to waste. I would love to show you what I come up with if you care to see, but otherwise, I just want you to know, you inspire me so much! My head is already spinning a million miles per hour thinking of ways I can both hand craft and 3d print this better and faster, or longer and more detail (time consuming) oriented. I do not mind projects that take a long time to complete. I am very patient, and stubborn, so I know I can see things like this come to life, every time.
Wow, I am really fond of your video - not only is the lantern of stunning beauty, but your work and craftmanship is of such precision and quality, that it is a joy to watch. And I like the music, of course :)
I was blown away by the fact that you had your name imprinted on the lighting assemblies, and that was on top of the incredibly intricate and highly precision cutting that you did. Very beautiful and very inspiring! Cheers!
Stunning! Absolutely Stunning! I wish I had found this video before now! I would love to have one of these. Though I's think they're beyond my price range.
Beautiful! Maybe i found a gift for christmas for my family. Very fine work. I love that everything holds in just by pushing it into space. The tolerances are on point. Great Video!
Foarte frumos. iti urmaresc toate postarile. Iti sunt dator cu o rindea mare de care nu am uitat. Din pacate timpul liber nu e prea mult. Feicitari pentru tot ceea ce faci Adrian. Multa stima.
Hello there. Good idea. Table Top Japanese Shoji Flashlights are very decorative and stylish. congratulations. nice work. Thank you for sharing. I wish I could...
Adrian, any thoughts of saving plans for 2 to 4 of your pieces? Maybe a measured drawing and parts list of the piece and the sled with this video is all that would be needed. Or sale me one unassembled. maybe???
Great video. Is there any way to get the circuit you used for the candlelight? Been trying to find one this small and the look this candle correct. If not, that ok enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
Thanks, those I done it on the go by eye, making those grooves as per the distances of the kumiko, don't have any documentation about, sorry. Maybe one day I will make a more reliable jig and easy to replicate and put a video too
The lighting doesn´t seem to be very practical, but I do have to say, I love the design and the colour tone of the light. I´d really like a warmer light in the evening and I don´t need every corner illuminated as if it was still daytime, but a little more than an old hurricane lamp would be nice... Also, if they could run on a rechargeable battery for a few hours, that would really increase the usefulness.

Viewers should take time to appreciate how much skill, experience, and preparation it takes to be able to repeatedly cut wood with such precision that the pieces click together as if they were injection molded plastic or cut by a CNC.
Yes, I had the same thoughts. This is why the plastic stuff is cheap and why real handmade objects with natural materials are better in every way.
I agree...I have not the patience or skill to work wood to metal tolerances...it also says he uses high quality materials and tools. Working metal like that is not that hard, working wood like that will always be impressive to me.
Incredibly beautiful.
Then he builds his own PCB and electronics...a true craftsman.
It's electric. Not interested.
Most the time I beat the pieces in with a mallet
@@angelus_solus You could build a small campfire with the lamp.
Sometimes the UA-cam algorithm gives you gold.
This is worth way more than gold to me

Thank you very much as always for your lovely comments!
@@AdrianPreda Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply. You deserve it. Kind regards.
And im just sitting here like where can i buy one.
Sorry they were sold out. At the end of the week I will add three more on my Etsy store, link in description
@@AdrianPreda how much do they cost
I was gonna make myself one then I saw a table saw. I say 'nope, I love my fingers. Thanks" 😅
This was truly a zen moment to me. Perfect music and watching you build a lamp of sheer perfection… thnx so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such an inspiring video. Not only it makes you want to build and create, but you also feel uplifted with its beautiful visuals and music. Thank you.
The fact these are tension fitted is AMAZING. That precision is insane.
I like the electronic design alot. It's so easily replacable if it ever breaks and also properly recycling it is a matter of seconds!
I love the accompanying music playing with this video, very well matched. I also love how relaxing it was watching this video. I almost feel like I want to make building these lamps my new hobbie but I know it must take decades of patience and skill development that I certainly don't have. You are a master of zen and of wood craft.
Thank you very much! Ahh, not so much, I did it in 2-3 years🙂
Amazing. That tiny sled with the adjustable stop and groove registrations is great. Very clever.
you always look so calm when you are building - I expect that most of us are in the "frantic" mode most of the time!!
actually, I really like your "puzzle" style corners instead of actual through-mortising - it looks like the right choice for these small lamps
Didn't even get through the first two minutes without hitting the 'like' button. Those chamfers are gorgeous (0:59)!
Your perfection is evident not only in your sashimono but in your camera work as well. A wonderfully made video! I too have a helper neko in my shop...
The projects are cool and all, but the camera work is fantastic.
I dig the music choices, too. I can only take so much dubstep while watching people build stuff.
A true artisan at work.
Beautiful.
I wish I could find legit step by step guides to make shoji doors, and stuff like this
to be honest, this is what i find relaxing. poring myself a drink, dim down the lights and watch this video. the jazz is a + too for extra chillness.
The craftsmanship is amazing, I have to admit.
Absolutely first-class craftsmanship.
the attention to all the small details are beautiful, when i was stationed in japan I payed A LOT of money for something like this, now I can make them myself ...
Enormous labor and craftsmanship 👍🏼
Wow, I watch woodworking videos all the time and this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!
These are beautiful! I'll never have the patience for that sort of build. And getting them close enough that they snap together is incredible.
I attempted to make a couple of this style lamp for my sister last xmas, the pieces are still on my workbench awaiting another attempt. I learned a great deal as to how your precision cuts are made. Thank you
Cuts are important, but also the pieces they need to be perfectly squared and straight before so you can register them to eventual jigs or make markings etc then perform the cuts
I really enjoy watching these videos sometimes I do ponder what it would take to get started but in turn I imagine it can be frustrating at times.
That piano is particularly nice.
Absolutely stunning! You are an outrageously talented craftsman.
Thank you!
These are so nice. Outstanding craftsmanship.
Shoji Lamps are outrageous, truly truly outrageous
You got better and better Adrian. Good luck in everything that you proposed.
Thank you. I love this. They sell electric candles for Jack o laterns this time of year.
Beautiful work and I appreciate the use of traditional tools to make these works of art.
Wow... The details are phenomenal... Hats off.
Thank you!
Fantastic video. Just bought the plans as a thanks for this! Now to work out how to make without a table saw! I suspect I can add a few days to the process!
Thanks! I have a previous video making these lamps only with hand saw. It will take a bit more but it can work too.
@@AdrianPreda brilliant, I'll check it out. Thanks again, amazing work. I might have to get some mini tool box plans too!
this is why i never hesitate when buying handmade products
Absolutely gorgeous. It was really relaxing watching you build this lantern
every one of these videos shows me the patience I lack to do really fine work. Love this channel, looking forward to more videos. Hope all is well.
Thank you very much! All is ok, next month more videos to come :)
Omg I love those little brass clamps, they are so pretty
NIce work. Precise as a japanese work should be. I just loved the gigs used in saw machine
Thank you!
The lamp is awesome. The production setups and jigs you have in there are superb.
Thank you very much!👍
This is one of the most gorgeous wood working projects I've ever seen. Is that a custom made LED design?
Thank you very much! Yes, the board is designed by me then sent to fabrication
Your work is absolutely magnificent and awe inspiring. I hope to see much more of it.
I apologize for speaking in Japanese.
However, I think it is wonderful.
日本人の私でも、とても欲しくなってしまうくらいに、かわいい灯篭だと思いました。
部屋にあると和むと思います！
Thank you very much!
and you even made your own PCB - I'm impressed
Beautiful. Simply beautiful...ty.
Beautifully executed!!!

Out of this world! Your skills are masterful!
Thank you!
i always feel like im really old after watching these styles of videos, but while im watching them its literally ASMR to my ears and eyes
This is not a work of art. But this is a masterpiece 👍👍
Really Very fine woodworking and marvelouse result. very Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Wow, I am really fond of your video - not only is the lantern of stunning beauty, but your work and craftmanship is of such precision and quality, that it is a joy to watch. And I like the music, of course :)

Thanks! I had to choose either "burn myself" with the branding iron a corner of the lamp, either this :) This is more discreet
Awesome woodworking talent.
Stunning! Absolutely Stunning! I wish I had found this video before now! I would love to have one of these. Though I's think they're beyond my price range.
Beautiful!
Maybe i found a gift for christmas for my family.
Very fine work. I love that everything holds in just by pushing it into space. The tolerances are on point.
Great Video!
Thanks! There will be a new batch of lamps on my Etsy store in a few weeks, these ones are sold out.
Adrian Preda Thank you! I‘ll save your Etsy page and look for it every now and then ;)
Such a beautiful inspiring work! Thank you for your videos!
so elegant
They are very beautiful

Thanks!
Very beautiful Adrian! Thank you.
Thank you too!
looks very nice, history meets future. well done
That is some absolutely stunning woodworking there! I was even impressed with your little sled. Fantastic work
Beautiful.
Would you make a video showing the making of the pcbs lights circuit?
🤷♂️
Wow Adrian! You never cease to amaze!
Thanks Nik!
awesome! I hope i can get so perfect once a day! Im just starting with kumiko
Adrian, any thoughts of saving plans for 2 to 4 of your pieces? Maybe a measured drawing and parts list of the piece and the sled with this video is all that would be needed.
Or sale me one unassembled. maybe???
Love the lamps.. beautiful. Well done
Beautiful.
I found the perfect matching shoji lamp! (: thank you
Great video. Is there any way to get the circuit you used for the candlelight? Been trying to find one this small and the look this candle correct. If not, that ok enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
Looks like the ancient Chinese corridor candle shade!
Simply beautiful. WTF are those 3 unlikes???
Probably the table saw.
Cool build, great video. Cheers for sharing.
Thanks!
Sooo Beautiful. Those lamps are so satisfying to look at, with their exquisite design and soft glowing light. 😍
Highest precision clean execution infinite patience.
I love your videos, I could watch for hours.
Many greetings Gottfried
Lovely job. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful lamps, beautiful video, and you even got my ASMR tinglies going. Well done!
Thanks!
I just downloaded the plans..thank you...nicely drawn. How about instructions for the sled and cutting the kumikos?
Thanks, those I done it on the go by eye, making those grooves as per the distances of the kumiko, don't have any documentation about, sorry. Maybe one day I will make a more reliable jig and easy to replicate and put a video too
That hand saw you used around 4:50 ish is gorgeous.
The lighting doesn´t seem to be very practical, but I do have to say, I love the design and the colour tone of the light.

Also, if they could run on a rechargeable battery for a few hours, that would really increase the usefulness.
So many upgrades! Congrats!
The precision of those press fit screens is just incredible!
