Greetings from Michigan. What, no mindless host to spout nonsense, no wacky music to crescendo at the prescribed time, no fake storyline to keep me engaged? Imagine that, a real craftsman showcasing his skill, talent, and artistry. This video was thoughtfully shot and edited. Thank you for sharing this wonderful project.
Always a delight to watch. He even clocks his screws. The score, as always, so perfect. So well placed. No one makes videos that come close to matching this quality. The inclusion of real life, Shiro, nature, leaves, fruit, time to take pleasure in life, like a walk with a good dog. Folks this is ART. appreciate every moment. Because you have all the time in the world, until you don’t.
@@timmyrohr3200 All screws are in the same orientation - horizontonally or vertically aligned. Small detail but with flathead screws it can be quite negatively impactful to have them out of alignment.
I just went to home depot to have a look at some furniture including a work desk. and this makes me even more convinced that your work is worth a fortune. This quality is above the industry.
Dovetail and miter joints are two of the most challenged for any woodworker. Combine these two techniques into one joint requires zero tolerance in every cut. Thank you for sharing your amazing work. Appreciated- From Australia
You're honestly one of just two or three people I watch through the entire video without fast forwarding. It's always so calming and enjoyable. Such a beautiful piece. It's great to see your steps and thought process as you go through it.
Some of your videos inexplicably seem to bring tears to my eyes. This is one of those. A perfect picture of a perfect life that few people get to experience outside of there escapist corner. If the feeling it gives to me on watching is any close to what you feel while actually living it, which I doubt, but still, if it is, you must be one of the miniscule portion of people, who are actually happy. I envy you so much, but I'm also glad you share it with others. Thank you.
That sliding saw is to dream for. The home and workshop seem serene. I.... for some reason... I like you never answer... the mystique is palatable. The editing is worthy of an award. The work is worth more than I can afford. I set my seasons waiting for your work.
Hello Mr Ishitani, First I’d like to say tht I watch all ur builds tht u post on RUclips and tht u make some of the most beautiful woodworking pieces of art, well to me they are. This is now one of my favorites like most of them are. You are one of my inspirations to woodworking. I hope to one day be able to make furniture as awesome as yours.
it's a rare piece of work that elicits a spontaneous rush of joy, but looking at that close up at the end; the perfect miter, the perfect dovetails, and the perfect little chamfer easing the sharp corner made me laugh. how in the world...? all i can say is, you aren't quite human in your woodworking skills. not quite a god, but certainly more than mere mortal.
What a pleasant way to stay the day before heading down to my own workshop. You were the strongest inspiration for me to change my life and become a woodworker.
I enjoy your videos. Nice work and display of skills. I think your video production is getting better. It was never poor. Your camera person does a nice job of selecting the images to explain what you are accomplishing without the use of words. Very well done. Thanks for posting.
What a great start to the day, it’s my daughters birthday and I get to watch one of your films as well fantastic enjoy to watch as usual you are a true craftsman
I'd watch Ishitani make anything. "ISHITANI - Making a Bowl of Oatmeal".......Ishitani gathers wood in the forest with Shiro, fires up his traditional wood burning stove, grabs a hand carved bowl off the pristine counter. Chie gets tight shots of the oatmeal bubbling then cascading into the bowl, the steam is rising, then she sets it all to the perfect musical score. We all choke back tears and completely forget oatmeal is not really that great. We get inspired, we're gonna recreate the magic! So we make our own bowl of oatmeal the next morning. But.......the water is heated in the microwave.....Ding!......and it's instant oatmeal, poured out of a little brown bag. Damn.
I am impressed, if I didn't see the video,i would say : "it's made by the machine" ... allways a big pleasure to see you at work, that accuracy .... Nice work !!! Cheers from România
Beautiful work. Great technique to hammer the corners of the dovetail a bit and let the glue moisture push it back out - at least my assumption. Beauty in simplicity.
the frame in the wall at 0:08 says 「使った器具は必ず元の場所へ」"Leave the tools in the place they belong after used." And you can thell their work place is very tidy.
MT Yankin in japan is it common to become a master when you have a good master. i always liked the tradition of japanese craftmanship, in other countries like germany there is a training of 3 years and only when you do this other people respect you as a woodworker, i don't like this system. In japan you become a woodworker while working as a assistent from a master and only when the master is satisfied you can call you a master, this can be 10 years or longer. Nearly no one you can find good woodworking anymore, in germany there were extremely good carpenters between 1800 and 1900 before the industrial woodworking began. At 1800 to about 1840 we call this time Biedermeier, you can google this and this are furniture completely made by hand without any electrical machine, there a great masterpieces, the carpenters worked at some pieces 3 to 4 months. This furniture are 200 yrs old and even today this furniture are absolutely fine. For example you can see a furniture from the Biedermeier here www.antik-greef.de/referenz/ref172g.jpg . Today woodworking in germany and in a lot of places are extremely sad you put some chipboard together, do some paint over it and screw the pieces. Additionally as a professional woodworker you can nearly pay your apartment and your income is way to low to make a living of it, only few people can do this anymore.
Always amazing to see the master at work. Simple elegance and craftsmanship. When you started the music I panicked and said...oh no not the ending yet...Thanks!
Saved this video for this saturday morning with my favourite coffee and even if I've been looking forward to it I was - as always - an immense pleasure. Such skills in all aspects. Respect!
Claus I do the exact same thing:) an Ishitani videos is like eating a peice of chocolate. You know its gonna be good before you bite it and it's better than you remembered from last time.
dovetails with a table saw? WOW! i have never tried dovetails before in my life because they are so labor intensive. but a table saw? wow. amazing. TRUELY BEAUTIFUL! :D
I think you are the best woodworker I’ve seen on RUclips. You have some unique ways of doing things but your attention to detail and the tricks you have of making a joint perfect, like that mitered dovetail with the additional saw cut.
wish there was narration, like what wood he's using, design, etc etc...which is why foureyes furniture is the best in terms of design and woodworking tips, animation, narration, entertainment, etc
Was just rewatching some of ur other videos yesterday and then today happens and we all get treated with new content. Always a pleasure watching ur work/art.
Knowledge is power. Someday I will learn to have this talent, I just started in this beautiful art, I'm curious why it cuts the joints at the end and is perfect.

Japan has the pinnacle of wood craftsmanship.
One of the few channels on RUclips where I hit the like button inside of the first 30 seconds. Just out of gratitude for the gift of new content.
The world is a better place with amazing artisans like this. So envious of the skill and the workshop and the fruits of the labor.
To wake up and see Ishitani posted a new video is a priceless way to make your day. Thanks nice family!

And out of hard oak....
You're honestly one of just two or three people I watch through the entire video without fast forwarding. It's always so calming and enjoyable. Such a beautiful piece. It's great to see your steps and thought process as you go through it.
With proper care and upkeep this desk will out survive his grandchildren.
A lovely build Sir!!!
Look how clean and neat the workshop is - says everything.
It is hoovered, even his boots have been placed outside with precision. I wish I was so tidy.
A rare master at work. Never tire of seeing your work. Kudos to your wife too for the wonderful videography.
I cannot thank you enogh for making this videos. There's something incredibily relaxing about them. Please, keep the beautiful work.
I love watching you work. I have saved some money and bought myself some tools to start learning woodworking. Thank you for all the inspiration.
May very well be the most underrated woodworker on RUclips! Amazing craftsmanship!
I am still stuck on the dovetail joints with the mitered front/rear faces. That was amazing. Thank you.
No talking needed. An absolute perfect Video and table. You two are gifted!! And there is Shiro.... 😎

Hands down the cleanest desk build I have seen.
dude this is the most beautiful table in all history! boy oh boy!
It's really happy to be able to visit RUclips again and watch your new video. What a nice day!
Such skill and perfection... and some sad people have to give a thumbs down. Probably deep down they are jealous of his skill with wood.
I cant imagine being this much of a master at anything! Cheers from El Paso Texas!
Cheers from Ft. Worth, TX!
Even the notches on the screw heads are perfectly aligned. Exquisite. Bravissimo!
I am impressed with all this precision and calmness to come out this wonderful work

All my stress has melted away watching this.
It has a relaxing therapeutic effect.
Always tear up just a little when the beautiful music plays, knowing that our time together is almost over again for another month.
Shear brilliance no talking straight down to work an a fantastic piece of furniture at the end attention to detail a master at his profession
You‘re the one and only real carpenter here on RUclips ... your work Is outstanding ... love every Minute i can watch you ...
The three of you are just excellent. I always look forward to your videos.
This man is a masterful craftsman. I love to see the beauty of his creations
Yes i think also
This is the prettiest desk I ever have seen
First time watching you and I’m in awe. So precise, so meticulous. I did not fast forward for even one second. True work of art.
What a great start to the day, it’s my daughters birthday and I get to watch one of your films as well fantastic enjoy to watch as usual you are a true craftsman
oh man, it makes me happy to see, that there are people who treated making furniture like this way
Yet another master class in precision joinery....fantastic 👍🇬🇧

I don't think I've ever wanted a piece more than this one. Its gorgeous and would make working so much nicer.
Beautiful! You gave the oak a second life.
Simplicity is often the most difficult art form to master
You are much further ahead than I am, and I can't wait to see what's next
I am impressed, if I didn't see the video,i would say : "it's made by the machine" ...
allways a big pleasure to see you at work, that accuracy .... Nice work !!!
Cheers from România
Made by machine wouldn't be half as good.
I marvel every time at the level of craftsmanship displayed.
Stress Buster's for me , but your work and skill of execututing works with precision measurement and calmness also brings me here
Beautiful work. Great technique to hammer the corners of the dovetail a bit and let the glue moisture push it back out - at least my assumption. Beauty in simplicity.
You are my hero. I enjoy every minute of your videos. I aspire to be as skilled as you.

素晴らしい作品ですね
こんな立派な机が早く買える様になりたいです
love watching a master craftmans at work ... great work
I started wood working about a year ago. I love the Japanese style of not using fasteners. I wish I had a mentor like him!
Very nice work. I feel kind of relax after watching you working, almost peaceful haha
Complimenti a te per la tua bravura ed anche a chi fa questi video bravissimi tutti e due!😊
Dovetails AND miter! Excellent job!
Wow - by far my favorite piece. Thank you for the video.
One of the nicest pieces yet. :) Wonderful.
Superb craftsmanship. Very thorough, even in and out.details.
Knowledge is power. Someday I will learn to have this talent, I just started in this beautiful art, I'm curious why it cuts the joints at the end and is perfect.
Nicely done thanks for showing us. I always look forward to seeing your work.
I always enjoy watching, you are a very talented wood artist. Thank you!
Another glorious video - meditative and immensely satisfying. Everything marries together harmoniously. My favorite on RUclips.
I have no words to describe this masterpiece or the the skill it takes to create it.
Working with such precision is amazing!
Great, now I want to move to Japan and become a carpenter.
The absolute precision in your work is phenomenal
