Wow, the level of skill and confidence here is truly the work of a master. Some very dangerous situations but with absolute concentration and knowledge of the tools and how the wood will react it can be done safely, and what’s more, efficiently. Your quest for perfection and attention to detail are inspiring me. I can’t wait to get to work tomorrow.
There’s an honesty to what you make and how you make it that is very nice to see. It’s a very ‘real’ look at your practice. Thanks so much, and beautiful work!
Very nice table, however your freehand technique with the inverted router table had me cringing, with that technique I'm surprised you still have all your fingers.
The paucity of views and comments here really surprises me. This is an experienced, accomplished furniture maker showing his step by step build of a beautiful piece of furniture. Even a little dry humor in the presentation, as when he is cutting off the table top stock. Speaking of which, all those years indoors acclimating and moisture cycling, and yet the stock is still as tense as it could be, closing kerfs, trapping sawblades! Hokuto San (please excuse me if this is not his proper name) is correct that it is not so suitable for furniture making.
14:48 can you explain why in Japanese woodworking a block plane is typically used here? Is it for further shaping? It would seem that after the lathe a sander would create a more uniform surface. Just trying to learn. Thanks.
probably because of the desired finish he wants on the legs when sanding you create a more mat finish because you are esencially just scrapping the wood fibers to a very fine grit meanwhile when you use a block plane / kanna you are cutting each individual wood fiber wich leaves a shinier or more glossy finish and it seems to me that in japanese wood working sand paper is often not used in the finishing stages off furniture builds might just be preference or something like that
You do nice work but the way you use the planer (without a guard) and drill press for milling long pieces made me nervous. I worked as a cabinetmaker for 14 years.
Wonderful skills and awesome wood, but man. I am suffering every time I see you using that router without a guard. Every four finger carpenter was overly confident of his skill until they lost its finger/s. Accidents can happen to the best of us and fingers are only 10 and do not growth back. Use some time of guard, your fingers worth more than any time you save. What type of finish are you using?
I loved the construction process, but I would like to know what type of finish you used, lacquer, wax, since it gives it a very natural look. Thank you
What does the wetting the wood down have to do with the planing at 15:04 ? I know wetting wood causes the grain to open/rise but how does this help in planing?
In Western carpentry, you usually wet the wood to raise the grain before finishing - by sanding with fine grit sand paper after the grain was raised, you make the surface smoother. My assumption is that it's the same here, only, instead of sanding, planing is used.
Went back to look again. I was wrong, no template underneath, of course. Running against a fence. Pretty hairy when he was doing those shoulders, not advised at all.
Well, looked again, and he wasn’t actually trimming the shoulders with the router, just cleaning the bottom, really, really close to the sawn shoulder. I think that elsewhere in these comments I might have mentioned how some other things like finger placement over the jointer, loose long sleeves were giving me the willies, though. Such a skilled craftsman and designer, I feel a little disloyal, almost, pointing these out.
Wouldn't it be easier to just cut down the legs from an existing dining room table?....And, will there be a video for how to make the chairs that go with it?
@@Jeff-uy8xg Yeah ... that it's greasy? I suppose you meant humor anyway - that's just making fun for fun's sake. Satire is a way to criticize somebody in a funny and acid way. Aside from work safety I didn't see anything worth criticizing in the video. And nothing of what you said was in any way related to work safety.
Florin Jurcovici ...Unfortunately American humor is probably too intelligent for someone like yourself and it probably just goes right over your head assuming you have one
A really nice way to open the video, with a little humor! And I am highly impressed with the way he combines top western equipment with Japanese tools and techniques. His skill, art and craftsmanship with the hand tools is impeccable; really something to inspire. Has my subscription immediately. I agree with @UC4cma7ImAu5QNwhlpuLDS9A, this man is too skilled and experienced for his own health. Is Hokuto his family name? Until I learn differently I will use Hokuto San. At first I was more worried about Hokuto San's finger placement at the jointer, then later I saw what Julio referred to at the router. I hope that the laws of probability don't catch up to him some day.
Two huge point i dont understand. At some point why would you work in such dangerous way? Have respect for those power tools they can(and have) ripped off limbs withtout skipping a beat Also all the fancy mortise and tennons only to use wood glue anyways, what?

The craftsmanship is on another level ... so relaxing to watch, but hard to execute
I was wondering how the table top would be joined to the frame and legs. I was not expecting the screws at the end!
Un lavoro eccezionale. Bravura manuale unita a estetica. Passione, arte.
belajar bgm workshop tetap bersih , pkerjaan sgt detail , rapih , apik , luarr biasaaa , hasil sangat presisi dan the best

What a masterpiece and superb carpentry skills. I love Japanese style furniture. Sugoi
Finally some good content!! Your kanna shiage was superb.

WOW, JUST BEAUTIFUL‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Beautifully done, thanks for showing us your wonderful craftsmanship.
An item of great beauty through simplicity, but also through Knowledge and skill. Thank you for sharing this special moment. Greetings from France.

Buen Trabajo!!! Porque quemó los tornillos???? Saludos desde Cancún México.
Amazing, a master of shop machinery able to achieve superb results with only 1% hand finishing.
Работа с душой и от души. Супер
Высший пилотаж, браво мастер
Outstanding work my friend sorry I haven’t seen you on TH-cam before, you now have another follower for sure
Beautiful. Your joinery work is amazing. Domino for the top buttons :). Nice!
I can't even explain. Such a great and emotional work. Thanks for that, hokuto. I'm starting in woodworking and this is what i think i want to do.
Simply AMZING!

What type of finish are you using?
I worked in a shop with an overhead router. The thing was from some ww2 factory in Germany. Massive powerful and quite frankly scary as hell.
You just sayd what i was gonna write...Safety first¡¡
very true man
Молодец , очень хорошо !
Very nice work
😏
26:03, what is that product?
Amazing job, just the smooth touch of art in wood can be this one: congratulations
I loved the construction process, but I would like to know what type of finish you used, lacquer, wax, since it gives it a very natural look. Thank you
Beautiful
Except for the dark knot on the edge, I would buy this. Do you have a website?
amazing quality! incredible pursuit and excellence! Bravo!
try for that long, finally fix the lower part with a screw! Unbelievable!!!
someone know what´s the name and /or model of the 18:10 min machine?
Beautiful work my friend but that overhead router with no guard YIKES!
Harika olmuş Türkiye den teşekkürler
Simplemente maravilloso!!
Saludos.
Bravo! Applause!
grate job!

When planing small round piece, you often get reverse grain on both direction which cant be avoided, wetting the wood helps prevent tear out.
I love your old equipment i would trade all money for your workshop
absolutely beautiful! You are definitely a wood artist.
Wow. AMAZING... that this guy has all of his fingers!
🥇🏆👏👏👏👍🏻Russia 🇷🇺
この卓袱台はもったいないからひっくり返せない。いい仕事してますねー。

Your craft is ridiculous. You are so meticulous and to a maker that means everything. Keep doing your thing my friend!
Just to be clear, I am quite sure that MuffsJs means that the skill displayed is so great that it is almost bafflingly, ridiculously high, in idiom.
¿No se podrían unir las patas al tablero sin tornillos?
what's the measurements?
Bravissimo hokuco
What an artist.
Beautiful table and a lovely grain pattern. Why is zelkova not for furniture?
Zelkova used this time, the grain is twisted.
Therefore, it is unsuitable for furniture.
@@hokuto59-japanesewoodworki25 It is a beautiful wood, though, when finished properly - or so it looks, judging by the table you built.
01:38 Funny moment .. Thank you sir .. Amazing video .
made in japan all wonderfull.
Can you tell me...why you burn that screw...
các bạn nhât tài giỏi quá ...beautyfull
Viva👌
Why did you burn those screws?
Is Zelkova plentiful in Japan?
The table is really really gorgeous.
Anyone else heart stop beating at 4:43 ? No guard!!
13:47 that's called satifaction
I wish I knew what was that wood.
wonderful work but i dont like the screws id like that you use only wood
It makes no sense, for that particular purpose. He could have used wooden dowels, but it wouldn't have added any aesthetic value to the table.
brilliant job. but why did you put the screws in the stove
Annealing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(metallurgy)
@@wwhizz I suspect in this particular case it was to burn off the shiny chrome coating.
Home beautiful is the wood ?
I couldn't watch this due to those 15 ads every 5 minutes!!
how could I make this in my room?
Spectacular.
what's the wood kind?
Subbed
Is it a spesific name for dough rolling table or chabudai is a general name for all?
I just have the simple idea to use my coffee table to dine on it too.
Is your finishing Kanna?
经常看欧美的木工制作，真是直摇头，都是大量胶水和钉子，还是榫卯结构的，看着舒服
Jointed wood breathe as a whole so it expand and contract all together that prevent from cracking thus It’ll last long
Dear mr. Do you have use sand paper after use kanna plane on table top? Thank you so much.
I was also wondering that, I trad once that a planed surface has less torn grain and is typically smoother than a sanded surface.
That router is very interesting, how do you control your cuts?
There is a guide pin underneath, in axial alignment with the overhead bit.
@@leehaelters6182 Couple of those cuts weren't on the pin tho.
larrybud, whoa, hairy!

S H ...have you ever learn something about American satire?
