My father started his apprenticeship as a " Stellmacher" (Wagner) in 1949. When he finished his apprenticeship in 1951, his master gifted him a carpenter's bench. He was allowed to pick out the materials from his wood depot and build it himself. The workbench was made in the French style from an almost 200-year-old oak tree that had been stored for 30 years. And no matter how many times he moved, the bank always found a place. His pride and joy. Greetings from Germany
Thought I caught a mistake seeing the slight gap on the edge board. Then realized it was for expansion of the top. What a pleasure it is watching these videos!
Everything in this channel is amazing, the recording, the editing, the audio, the dog, the contemplation shots of nature, and of course the woodworking itself. Absolutely lovely, all of it.
Very good ! I have been a professional furniture maker here in Norway for over 25 years now and I really like your way of working. It makes sense to me. Keep up the good work & best wishes to you and your family.
I don't know why I bother to comment on your videos. I say the same thing every time.......they are just some of the very best woodworking videos on any media channel. The attention to detail in your woodwork is simply fantastic. Your workshop is fantastic. Even your dog is great!
Its so good to see such videos with no annoying background music but only the real soundscape of working tools. Thnx for your efforts to share ur work. Greets from Berlin.
21 people are worried the top will tear the skirting apart. I'm worried too, but it's a beautiful piece of work, hopefully it'll be ok. Love your videos.
Dear Mr. Ishitani, May i make a suggestion about clamping techniques, if you don't mind? There is a setup, where you can place your pipe clamps vertically on an inclined panel- against a wall. This allows for easier access, keeping the floor clear, and most of all, avoiding back pain. Because some long and large glue ups can be very heavy. You're still young, but as the years go by the body gets tired and needs to save its energy. Other than that, I have watched many of your videos, and I really appreciate your very fine craftsmanship, and your constant approach towards beauty. You are gifted person, and your work will surely go down in furniture history. Sending you my kindest regards from France.
Really well done.a nice blend of western and Traditional Japanese woodworking techniques. The best of both worlds. I like to use a similar approach and draw on many influences.i have become a huge fan of Japanese woodworking and hand tools .the saws,chiesels,and planes are absolutely awesome.
I know nothing about wood working. (I know alot about knitting ☺️) But somehow you always know, when you are in the company of a Master. Thanks alot for the videoes the 3 of you are making. It is always a good day when your have a new video.
Hi! I got a chance to comment on it. I think if I make the same, I will make it as a RUclips video. I am carpenter in Korea as a hobby :) Nice to meet you :)
Fine and elegant work, as always. For the 7G (7th generation) I propose the Ishitani personal version of the Roubo workbench, maybe with two wooden vises.
I’m making plans to move to a small town in Arizona. There’s a local wood shop I’ll be able to join. Looking forward to spending a good amount of there. Id like to have my home furnished with all of my own creations.
work bench is a black and decker portable thing . that is a work of art , id never use it , its so nice , infact its nicer than many dining tables ive seen. even i like it , and im a welder.
I came here looking for a video on how someone made a workbench. What I found was a love story. And now that it's over, I have no words.

I hope that you still have that bench!
Oh man, that is a real thing to live for. Not this rat race that everybody is into today...
When a work bench is made better than most people’s expensive furniture 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thought I caught a mistake seeing the slight gap on the edge board. Then realized it was for expansion of the top. What a pleasure it is watching these videos!
I saw that too, then thought "he's good enough to not leave any gap like that" , so realized he did that for a reason.
These comments feel like I have a lot to learn. Just starting out.

This isn't woodworking; it's poetry!
Thanks for sharing!
best woodworking videos period.. can't stop watching the table and chair builds and the other projects. so authentic
That Is Some Finest Woodworking I Have Ever Seen I’m A Retired Woodworker With 35 Years Experience
It's amazing! He puts in the same level of craftsmanship into building a workbench as he would a fine piece of furniture! He's amazing!
It's always a pleasure to find a new Ishitani Furniture video. Great craftmanship without annoying music or blabla. Thanks!
Very good !
I have been a professional furniture maker here in Norway for over 25 years now and I really like your way of working. It makes sense to me. Keep up the good work & best wishes to you and your family.
I always take pleasure in watching people I admire create and refine their workspace.

An adjustable height workbenches is a real luxury. Very cool and useful.
The precision in the gestures is incredible.
What a great way to start my Sunday - thanks for sharing.

Very impressive as normal your workmanship is 2nd to none
Yet another wonderful video. It's always a pleasure watching you work. Thank you.
Loved the way you replaced the wood eye in your bench top. Impressive. 💕
That's a common technique to repair a small imperfection in wood and is called a dutchman:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutchman_(repair)
A true craftsman that creates a workbench with the same level of detail he creates his beautiful furniture.
I like the adjustable mitre clamp @ 4:48 for scribing the joint lines across. Looks like an old Olympia clamp? So much to learn in these videos!

Thank you for this! I was just working on a wood project and videos like these inspire me to develop my joinery skills.
Just the most beautiful workshop I have ever seen.
Work of Art Bench. Very Nice
I was a little worried about the dog. Wonderful work, pure poetry.
Even your workbench is a work of art.👍👍
Great craftsmanship and video making! One of the view channels where people say little yet tell so much.
Ishitani San , Thank you for sharing your work on You Tube. (Chie San Thank you for video editing) I will try to make the same work bench in London.
Hi! I got a chance to comment on it. I think if I make the same, I will make it as a RUclips video. I am carpenter in Korea as a hobby :) Nice to meet you :)
Started watching this amazing master at work a few weeks ago a true master craftsman brilliant
What a wonderful shop I truly hope he succeeds his whole life
Beautiful workbench!
Always so relaxing.
best channel, best furniture, no chatter, i like very much !!
Wow using titebind III - fast setup! Great shop with big space and some massive tools!
For anyone wondering what he dips his chisel into...
It’s reconstituted ego from other fallen carpenters who tried to tell him how to work...🙇♂️
Xxx
🤣
What is it? Camellia oil or similar?
Lmbo, that was good👊🏼
@@pskelly56 camellia, think author tells about it in some vid or comments
Nice workbench! I enjoyed watching you build it. Thanks for sharing!
Incredible work.. i wish i could study japanese wood work. It is mindblowing
My first work bench was built from a salvaged solid core wood door and 2 x 4s. Not as nice as this one but close...LOL. Great piece.
Du travail d'artiste... C'est toujours avec autant de plaisir que je retrouve vos vidéos et vos créations. Merci
The wood is very well seasoned - you can tell by the noise it makes when you knock two pieces together.
Beautiful yet simple
Hermoso trabajo un lujo !!!!!!!💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏 saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Very very nice work as always!!!!👌💯👍
This is a wonderful video. Thank you so much for making it.
Great to watch. Very peaceful and relaxing. Then I go to my my garage and become very disappointed in myself. Tranquility over.
Thanks Super Master Shiro to keep an eyes on your Master!
Desde Chile miramos tu vídeos excelente trabajo

It's always a great watching you work on a piece of furniture. Have you ever built a piece of furniture for your dog?
I’m making plans to move to a small town in Arizona. There’s a local wood shop I’ll be able to join. Looking forward to spending a good amount of there. Id like to have my home furnished with all of my own creations.
True craftsmanship, I've always enjoyed your work and video's. Keep them coming. Cheers :)

Great job.
Beautiful workbench! Thanks for the tips on how to make one.
Wow so beautiful. Never seen fitting a plug 9:15 by hammering it. Thanks for sharing! Cheers! : )
I noticed the same thing. I'm assuming that by compressing it the moisture from the glue causes it to expand and completely fill the hole.
