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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
I always enjoy starting my day off with one of your projects :) I also like how you clocked your screws, the level of detail that you give your projects is amazing!
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.
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.
People do not understand how super hard it is to make tails like that and to have seamless results, everything is one shoot deal, there is no second chance children

I think someone must be paid to provide down votes. Anyone who admires the transformation of a tree into a piece which may last 1000 years simply does not understand what gift we all are given. 20 to 30 generations will hold this piece. Only the first 5 will remember it's maker.
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
Hi. One more time, you are excellent. Thanks a lot for that smooth moment. The plant you showed is called Courgette here. You can mix the inside with garlic and meat, or cheese, put it in back and cook at 180ºC half an hour. 😉
Maestro, you must tell us how many years it truly took to build this work of such quiet beauty, lest we foolishly assume we could build something like it in less than fifteen minutes 😊

M M I agree!!! What do you mean when you say "clocks his screws"?
the best !!
I totally agree. Well said.

Japan has the pinnacle of wood craftsmanship.
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.

And out of hard oak....
Always tear up just a little when the beautiful music plays, knowing that our time together is almost over again for another month.

Always a pleasure watching your work. Shiro and the pumpkin at the end... awesome. Chie, your sensibility make a perfect carpentry work an spectacle
I am impressed with all this precision and calmness to come out this wonderful work
This man is a masterful craftsman. I love to see the beauty of his creations
Yes i think also
May very well be the most underrated woodworker on RUclips! Amazing craftsmanship!
With proper care and upkeep this desk will out survive his grandchildren.
A lovely build Sir!!!
I don't think I've ever wanted a piece more than this one. Its gorgeous and would make working so much nicer.
To wake up and see Ishitani posted a new video is a priceless way to make your day. Thanks nice family!
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 am still stuck on the dovetail joints with the mitered front/rear faces. That was amazing. Thank you.
Best wake up (5:50 here in EU) chill. Thank You
those joints are just a thing of perfection ,
as usual.
Even the masters were amateurs once

I marvel every time at the level of craftsmanship displayed.
Hands down the cleanest desk build I have seen.
The quality inspector seemed pleased with hoomans work.
Complimenti a te per la tua bravura ed anche a chi fa questi video bravissimi tutti e due!😊
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.
Its always therapeutic to watch your videos.. A rare artist you are.
Beautiful! You gave the oak a second life.
dude this is the most beautiful table in all history! boy oh boy!
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.
These flawless joints. Always. What a masterpiece!
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.
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.
Excellent attention to detail!
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
such a beautiful desk
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
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
Always at the end of your videos I feel like improving as a carpenter.
The videos are so wonderfully produced. Thank you so much for sharing.
absolute perfect. your videos are the only one that I watch them twice or even more. your work is beyond art it is life.
You‘re the one and only real carpenter here on RUclips ... your work Is outstanding ... love every Minute i can watch you ...
The set is beautiful. The sensibility of the film , even more.
What a gem of a channel. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work of yours.
A true master at work.
Wow! Ishitani you are the best!
Shiro : Quality Inspector
It's really happy to be able to visit RUclips again and watch your new video. What a nice day!
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!
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.
The three of you are just excellent. I always look forward to your videos.
What a fantastic build!
Love the simple design & amazing joinery! Great job!
Great, now I want to move to Japan and become a carpenter.
Awesome as always
One of the nicest pieces yet. :) Wonderful.
I always enjoy starting my day off with one of your projects :)
I also like how you clocked your screws, the level of detail that you give your projects is amazing!
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.
Amazing to watch. The screw even face same direction. So satisfying.
Now that is what I call precision furniture making
Thank you master for another amazing video. I almost stop woodworking until I came across your videos and your work inspired me a lot. Thank you!!!
Dovetails AND miter! Excellent job!
Very cute dog 🐕
You just make art using the wood..good job
I have no words to describe this masterpiece or the the skill it takes to create it.
Wow - by far my favorite piece. Thank you for the video.
Congratulations a work of art

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
Excellent work, beautifully video
You are my hero. I enjoy every minute of your videos. I aspire to be as skilled as you.
Absolute masterpiece, as usual... You sir, are incredibly gifted... Well done
Incredible craftsmanship. Thank you 🙏
Just beautiful.
All's always.🍀
Hi. One more time, you are excellent. Thanks a lot for that smooth moment.
The plant you showed is called Courgette here. You can mix the inside with garlic and meat, or cheese, put it in back and cook at 180ºC half an hour. 😉
What a fabulus joinery, it’s always a very big pleasure to follow you
There's not a better way to start the day. Thanks a lot!!!
Maestro, you must tell us how many years it truly took to build this work of such quiet beauty, lest we foolishly assume we could build something like it in less than fifteen minutes 😊
Thank you for the lovely video. I enjoyed the shots which were outside the workshop too.
Stunning workmanship. Perfect in every way.
great work as always
Those impeccable dovetails.
attention to detail is incredible! I could only dream of being good enough to make something remotely close to this level
Great job!
