  • It’s been a while since I did DIY.
    When I went to the lumberyard, I found interesting wood, so I built a floor table out of it.
    I have seldom used Kiso cypress before, and I found that it is a totally different quality than ordinary Japanese cypress. The growth rings are delicately beautiful. It’s valuable wood.

      I tried to make this point on his last “DIY” project. I wonder if it’s a translation issue? He is literally doing it himself but maybe they don’t get that DIY means amateurs. (And I have zero Japanese … this is not a slight on their very good English skills.)
      Love the channel. I especially dig the way he goes for light and fast over big and strong in tools and clothes.

    Hello, Tom here. I am a computer engineer that retired after 43 years, 8 months, and 14 days working for the same company. I think this is my favorite episode since I started watching your channel. Without question, my favorite part was watching you laugh! You have a very expressive face so sometimes I think I know how you are feeling even without your words. 😄 I think one of the most important indicators of the exceptional craftsman is the way he cares for his tools. I always get a huge smile on my face when I watch you caring for and sharpening your chisels! The obvious care taken when putting them away until the next time they are needed. I have been accused of being a number of things, but a carpenter was never one of them. Thank you for both educating and entertaining me! I understand that bowing in Japan can be used to signify emotions, including appreciation, respect, and gratitude. Please accept a virtual bow from me...

    Very lovely finish for your floor table. It doesn’t look like you gave up, it looks beautifully made. You are not accustomed to the look of this DIY style floor table. That is all. Good job. Good video.

  • @johnsrabe
    @johnsrabe ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Two great tips implicit in this video:
    - A handsaw (especially a Japanese pull saw) is often faster than a power tool.
    - A sheet of rigid foam is invaluable as a platfork for the Skilsaw. It provides perfect support, withstands a bunch of cuts before it’s no good, and is super light.

    • @alexcrouse
      @alexcrouse ปีที่แล้ว +4

      And that foam won't scratch your wood!

    • @fredericdudley6184
      @fredericdudley6184 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I saw that in a short and the carpenter had been using the sheet he had for 3 years. If you keep your cuts shallow, you can flip it over and use the other side.

    I love all the precision work with filling in the chip at the edge! I build guitars as a hobby, and whenever something goes wrong (the wood chips or cracks unexpectedly for instance) the repairwork is almost more enjoyable than the actual build, as you get to challenge yourself with how to hide the imperfection as neatly as possible. I am truly amazed by your skills and the gorgeous wood you work with!

    Exceptionally beautiful wood, beautiful slab. I would never have thought that cypress could have such intense colors of knots in opposition to the delicate shade of the trunk.
    I write to my memory "Kiso cypress", but without much hope that it will be possible bought in my country.
    I was very surprised when you mentioned imperfections in the video. In my opinion, the table is made in such a way that even the greatest master would have no reason to be ashamed.

Japan is truly beautiful, and so are it's people, artisans, and craftsmen.

I'm making a custom one now from Hinoki I got from a supplier in Tottori. I wish I could show you this flawless piece of wood. It's over 6 shaku long and 1 shaku wide at 33mm thick with zero knots and my shop smells wonderful now. It is an amazing wood to work with.
