There's a quote by an Americal lawyer (once considered the best lawyer in the world) that goes: "A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman. But a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist” I can't think of nothing more suited to you, Ishitani-san.
I've never seen the two-step tenon holes before and it is a stroke of genius! Great way to conceal the visible part of the tenon. Thank you again for your never-ending inspiration.
The furniture is amazing but I also love the audiovisuals, very soothing. No music, the volumes and sound textures, footsteps. I feel like I'm getting a taste of the spirit of the place. Oh piano, reminds me of minecraft haha.
I simply love your videos. The editing style, even the shots that don't have anything to do with woodworking. As someone else said, I get a feeling of what it would be like to be in your workshop with you. The fact that you rarely show your face in your videos tells me you are a humble man, and the work that you produce proves that you are a craftsman of the highest order.
I wake up in the morning and watch one of your videos to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the process. it's so easy to forget that i LIKE woodworking when i start focusing on time too much. and the funny thing is, relaxing and focusing on the work doesn't make it take any longer. Because, in the end, I make fewer mistakes and burn out less often. I've learned a lot about technique from watching you, but learning to enjoy my craft again has been a gift. Thank you so much for posting these videos.
I have crazy amounts of depression and anxiety and these videos always just seem to put me in a form of trance and make the world seem right again. I'm infatuated with this channel.
Find a way to get out and make something man, it will help a lot! There are usually public shops in larger cities if you don’t know anyone who’s space you could use and you don’t need all the fancy tools. Simple hand tools can do the same job it just takes longer
Absolutely fantastic! A true craftsman in every sense of the word! Very few people who can perform this kind of mastery. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible video.
I´m a professional craftsman since many years and i´m really impressed with your skills. The zen like aproach is something that i´m drawn to since a long time... Thank You for your videos...
What a nice video..I like whole asian style decor..watching your vids often. Soon as i got some extra time..I will build something like that..Minimalistic,elegant..just great.
that is the most beautiful set of bench and chair, the way that you can make the chairs connect, which in reality you could also put chairs side by side.
Hello from Germany again, thanks to share your work with us in form of these fantastic videos. Its very interesting to see the influence of culture in designing furniture. On the one side Sam Maloof, on the other your work. Thanks again, and I hope we will see a lot of more from your magnificent work in the (near) future, regards Christoph
Ishitani san sir I am you new follower/fan, I wish I could copy your patience, neatness, love in your work. I wish I could afford those nice equipments that you have, someday i would work like you do.
Congrats for your work. I would like to know the features of your machine seen on minute 3.10 with which the holes for the legs are made...(laser precision) Thanks for your response and again I admire your craftsmanship

After a busy stressful day, watching your skill and workmanship is the most relaxing and calming way to de-stress... thank you
One of my favourite woodworking videos of all time.

The patience and skill needed to gouge out those grooves is incredible, loved it.

Hang in there brother - I hope you find the light at the end of the tunnel.
