When you love traditional style and you collaborate it with modern tech tools. There's no hate in you man. Pure love. This is what the world need. Love all the genres.
This channel is SUCH a breath of fresh air. I cannot tell you how tired I am of seeing "DIY", "rustic", "farmhouse". Tired of mega popular sloppy joes with millions of views telling you how to build furniture from used pallets. THIS is SO different. I could watch this all day and won't be tired. Attention to detail, fantastic accents, nothing left to chance. ありがとうございました! この調子で頑張れ! (First time using kanji, hope I got that right! :-) )
jomsart - how is he gatekeeping? Sounds to me like he’s sharing an opinion... and to be honest I couldn’t agree with him more. He’s not trying to discourage anyone from learning or trying, he’s giving credit to the creator of this video for the amazing work he does, and the degree of perfection he attains in his work.
@@aleksanderkac1494 looking at how he constructs these pieces it looks like the furniture would hold together fine without glue/screws. But he uses them anyways. It's really just extra support for an already sturdy bed. What's so bad about that? Also whats up with everyone hating on biscuits? It's just meant to help line up the pieces. They're not actually meant for structural support. You sure sound snobby for a person that's calling everyone else a snob.
I’m a carpenter, I’ve been one for 15+ years. I speak from experience when I say that the mortising of different shaped pieces of wood so that they fit together evenly is HARD
This guy is a TRUE craftsman...It takes many years to get this good. He makes it look so easy. I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay what this bed frame is worth but if I owned it I would admire the detail for life. WOW
Having a education within carpentry it is a joy to se that someone still makes furniture, as I was taught back in my day. It makes me wish I had the mashies to start the old “magic” up again. Thanks a lot for sharing your work. Keep it up and never let it die
Excellent and elegant job too. Definetelly not for amateurs. Your work and your videos are masterworks. Wish was there to watch you live creating these masterpieces. Greetings from Athens Greece
I agree 100%. Not just watch, but learn about the traditional way of joining. They have temples that withstood the test of time and mother nature, with no metal parts.
So neat and intricate. And a mix of modern and Asian style carpentry which reminds me of old days when we use only wood to lock joints, no nails just all natural. Thanks
We all know how precious the woods are, most especially the "hardwood". It is hard for me to see those gigantic trees being cut down for human consumption. But seeing this kind of craftsmanship, it gives justice and peace of mind. Converting a hundred year old tree into a piece of art.
Absolutely breathtaking. Simple, yet elegant. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment but I hope you don't mind that I am now building a bed for my son inspired by this design! Cheers
I am sad that the videos were taken down, however I am glad that Ishitani is doing what ishitani can to help people be safe. It is the individual person's responsibility to be safe but it is the responsibility of each of us to protect and care for our community. 私は動画が撮られたのは残念ですが、石谷さんは人々を安全にするために石狩ができることをしていることをうれしく思います。 安全を保障するのは個人の責任ですが、地域社会を保護し、世話するのはそれぞれの責任です。
Natsuki you make simply the most wonderful furniture. Really enjoy having no commentary. Certainly my favourite wood worker. Chie great video work as always, your music selections are always spot on. Shiro your claws on the floor bring back fond memories of a dog long lost, they should live as long as us.
It's amazing how easily something so seemingly mundane as woodworking, can be made to be beautiful with patience, love, and great camera angles. I'd buy one of those beds in a heart beat. by the way.
I am an IT Professional, at my 40's busy with IT problems all the day, but when I see such a beautiful work, I like to leave my IT job and learn such wonderful wood work. I wish I could learn work. Expect to open my own wood shop after my retirement from IT Job.
6:07, I was trying to figure out why he was going to the trouble of making those little pegs with the double slits in them, but this just blew my mind. Using the tabs, and then inserting shims between them to make a tight fit and prevent and sort of relative motion or wiggle. Freaking genius!! I seriously am awestruck by this little technique! If there's one thing that will immediately render something as seeming cheap or poorly made, it's squeaking, wiggling or instability, but that little technique is a game changer.
it's so relaxing and inspiring see him work, great camara shots, edition and music selection, great team! love to hear shiro steps! greetings from Lima, Perú 👍
Three dimensional poetry. These videos are wonderful. I could(do) watch them for hours. The skill of these guys is incredible. How can you not want to build something after watching this video?
am i the only one who admires the use of modern tools to perfect the joining methods? The detail that blows my mind though is the hand chamfering/bevelling of the protuding tenons/dowels (my woodworking terminology is shite) top work +ishitani furniture
Absolutely beautiful work I’d love to spend a week working along side him. I can only imagine the amount things you could pick up and learn. I’ll pay the flights and even the accommodation just for a week watching and learning. Thanks Tony
This reminds me of Shaker furniture, they were a religious sect that was also famous for their woodwork which was simple and had incredible attention to detail. Their furniture had no adornment but it had the beauty of a well-made object that suits its purpose well.
His work is great! He is use real " kalevela tecnique" for his furniture. This tecnique make his work perfect. This technique makes the furniture he makes unique. If I had a lot of money, I would buy every piece of furniture she made with my eyes shut.
In school I managed to get to make a double bed for my A level - I still use it today and its built in a similar way, but you make it look SO easy - at every point while I was making it I was sweating, grunting and getting annoyed because I always forgot the limbs of the bed were taller than a door, so I ended up cloths lining myself multiple times while going through doors with them -.- well done though, this bed looks very professional and clean!
No wonder why Mr. Ishitani has accomplished such a high level of perfection and beauty beyond expectation: That four legged assistant and quality supervisor Shiro seems to be severely strict and effective taking care of every single detail ;-) A sincere greeting and my gratitude for showing us your work... mmmhh... no, let me rephrase it: A sincere greeting and my gratitude for you AND YOUR TEAM for showing us your ART. Best Regards from México.
Having the correct size machines for working with large lumber certainly makes the job easier (than when I wrestle with my six inch jointer and eight foo, lumber) HOWEVER, you sir, are a master. Machines or no machines. Brilliant joinery
I always love work with wood, but since i discover your videos, I fell in love the way you do all the work, and all my wish is, when i grow old, make something similar with my own hands. Thanks for the videos, they are inspiring.
Beautiful piece of furniture - as always :) Just watching you do your thing is so relaxing that the first piano notes really startled me. (Yes, piano notes startled me. I was so relaxed.)
I love how he doesn't use nails and screws to hold it together. Just wood, glue, and clever craftsmanship with precision. That bed looks sturdier than anything I could buy in a store that's also made of wood.
When I first read about the skin condition that forces him to wear gloves I thought, 'That's a real tragedy' this guy is hindered everytime he works with wood, which I am sure is his passion'. But after thinking about it, I realized the skin condition encourages him to work more with his hands, rather than rely on machinery [which throws around the dust which he cannot handle]. This, in turn, pressures him into developing hand wood working skills, which is invaluable. And it also results in custom and unique pieces of art, rather than mass produced depravity. So in a way, this disease, is like the grain of sand in an oyster's shell. Irritating, but after some time~ produces a precious pearl.
Ive noticed every wood worker on RUclips has a shop dog. Im starting to think that is the only thing standing between me being and being a master craftsman. Time to get a dog! すごい
Another beautiful video. Nice to see that in this day of age, where technology rules, that still it's the simple things which count. Thank you Ishitani-san.
When you love traditional style and you collaborate it with modern tech tools. There's no hate in you man. Pure love. This is what the world need. Love all the genres.
The patience, skill, and effort Mr. Ishitani puts into all his work is amazing and an art in itself!

I totally agree with you. I'm a jeweller and it's the same in my trade. people bodging things together and calling themselves artists. It's so sad.

@@aleksanderkac1494 Your calling us snobs? Your comment is clearly the most snobbish in this thread!

@@aleksanderkac1494 sure, except no one here claimed or acted like they were superior to anyone. Get a life...

The accuracy of everything he does is amazing. It is so satisfying to watch him work.
Your manners of working makes it look so easy. While watching these videos I tend to forget how hard carpentry actually is.
This guy is a TRUE craftsman...It takes many years to get this good. He makes it look so easy. I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay what this bed frame is worth but if I owned it I would admire the detail for life. WOW
you're an artist and a furniture maker. a hard task to achieve. phenomenal work sir
I'm short of words. This is no longer a craft, this is ART. That's the best I can come up with, and I'm really falling short.
The dog
The work
The machines
The carpenter
And the perfection
I made my first bed
Learning by doiing
Thank you
It is nice to watch someone really working and not talking ! Keep going !
This is one of my favorite channels, Real woodworking, able to follow with no sound, great designs totally motivational> Thank you for sharing
Having a education within carpentry it is a joy to se that someone still makes furniture, as I was taught back in my day. It makes me wish I had the mashies to start the old “magic” up again. Thanks a lot for sharing your work. Keep it up and never let it die
This was more a video essay than making a bed. A meditation on craft, the relationship man his to his tools and the world around him. Wonderful work.
I'm zen-ing out just watching this, I bet my man is meditating in the stratosphere while woodworking.
Excellent and elegant job too. Definetelly not for amateurs. Your work and your videos are masterworks. Wish was there to watch you live creating these masterpieces. Greetings from Athens Greece

Δεν υπάρχει ο τύπος. Έχει όμως και ότι μηχάνημα χρειάζεται. Όμως ξέρει τι χρειάζεται ;)
Skill and attention to little details even in hidden spots that few customers would ever see. That’s work with integrity. That gets my sub. - New Fan!
So neat and intricate. And a mix of modern and Asian style carpentry which reminds me of old days when we use only wood to lock joints, no nails just all natural. Thanks
英語のコメントばかりだったので、最初は外国なのかな、と思いました。DIYビデオを見ている内に辿り着き、綺麗なベッドで見とれてしまいました。小学校の頃、中軽によく遊びに行っていました。アシスタントさんによろしく！
Such beautiful functional art that he makes, and his makers mark is so diminutive. Such a humble artist.
We all know how precious the woods are, most especially the "hardwood". It is hard for me to see those gigantic trees being cut down for human consumption. But seeing this kind of craftsmanship, it gives justice and peace of mind. Converting a hundred year old tree into a piece of art.
Four videos into the channel and I'm in love. The proportion, materials and craft of all your designs is very elegant. Extraordinary work.
I kinda like the wave and irregularities in the wood before it was cut straight, still a beautiful piece. Shows a lot of craftsmanship and care
its the real art of woodworking, I watched 3 times and enjoy of his working
Absolutely breathtaking. Simple, yet elegant. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment but I hope you don't mind that I am now building a bed for my son inspired by this design! Cheers

This is one bed that will be handed down the generations. So simple yet so beautiful.

To watch this fellow working uplifts my spirits - thank you for taking time out to make this video and share it.
The finished piece is art, him making it is performance art! Double talent,WOW!!!
Mr. Ishitani, I greatly admire your works.
Your videos are a source of inspiration for my work.
Thank you very much.

It's beautiful work..search for Japanese carpentry...
@juukame those are wedged tenons and are used in many other applications like windsor chair legs, he also used it in his trestle table build.
it's so relaxing and inspiring see him work, great camara shots, edition and music selection, great team! love to hear shiro steps! greetings from Lima, Perú 👍
yeah, hear his footsteps :) Thank you.
Also admiring his work from Lima Peru. Beautifully done
craft
crafts
Enjoying his work as US transplant in the EU. Fantastic.. And yes we can hear the footsteps
As always ; simple and beautiful. A very talented young man. A big hello to Shiro please.
Something that looks so simple. Yet takes hours to build. Not to mention the years to learn the skills needed to make one..
Great Stuff..
Best woodworker out there
Three dimensional poetry. These videos are wonderful. I could(do) watch them for hours. The skill of these guys is incredible. How can you not want to build something after watching this video?
I am soooo jealous. I would LOVE to have your workshop. Beautiful job!
Can never figure out who gives your videos a "thumbs down". Absolutely beautiful work and attention to detail.
There is something very unique to how the Japanese go about their craftsmanship, very precise, unhurried and somewhat serene
am i the only one who admires the use of modern tools to perfect the joining methods?
The detail that blows my mind though is the hand chamfering/bevelling of the protuding tenons/dowels (my woodworking terminology is shite)
top work +ishitani furniture
I've been watching your videos at night to help calm me down and relax.
I'd stay in front of the screen weeks looking this man working... It's so relaxing and at the same time so interesting... Beautiful...
Clean lines. Oil finishes & Beautiful Hardwoods, can't beat that. You have some great cast iron machines, Real nice shop. Vinny
I really like the way he left the tenons slightly proud and beveled the edges..elegant touch.
Unreal dude, that isn't just furnature.. it's art.
That looks so simple, yet so beautiful, it's a work of art. Congratulations and greetings from Brazil :)
Classical simplicity, beautiful. Greetings from Australia.
This is not a bed, it's a piece of art.
Great job!
Haha😆true
don't know why seeing someone making a bed can be so touching....
Gordon Yeung bro you read my mind. 😎
Because seeing someone put great care into something is really inspiring, especially in our current times of Cheap and Fast
Worked for Mozart...
Haha😆
A bed like this must be virtually unbreakable. Amazing
excellent- he makes it look simple and lets the wood speak for itself.
He creates a piece of art. Its a joy to just watch him work and learn from him.
You are a master in your craft, working in a quiet place like yours gives you a much focus on what you're doing..really enjoy watching how you work..
Precision of Your work is stunning. A fine piece of carpentry at it most exeptional form. Very inspirational. Keep it going.
섬세한 손길에 멋진 가구가 만들어 지는것 같습니다 가족 모두 자유로움이 느껴 지네요좋은 영상 감사하고 계속 멋진 작품 기대해 봅니다.
Absolutely beautiful work I’d love to spend a week working along side him. I can only imagine the amount things you could pick up and learn. I’ll pay the flights and even the accommodation just for a week watching and learning. Thanks Tony
Thank you for always capturing the spirit of Natsuki's work, Chie.
the most beautiful furniture are those that look simple yet are carefully crafted. i would love to build a bed like this one day.
Seeing your work and craftsmanship inspires me to start a new project.
That is some pro wood work right there. This guy is going places if he hasn't gone to places already.

... this is poetry made out of wood!
every new video is a poem. you are an artist and a skilled craftsman. my estimate goes to you. I sincerely wish you a happy new year.
Thats so simple and elegant it symbolizes how do you live on earth
one of the best video i always watch and learn from... Thanks Mr. Ishitani for sharing

Love the craftsmanship. Someone is going to end up with a beautiful heirloom piece of furniture.
Stunning work. I love the way he shows him walking his dog in the videos :)
Such a beautiful piece. Elegance personified!
That bed is just beautiful. I love your little doggy I am a big dog fan please give him some love.
Just beautiful, and I love that you used only the sounds of the woodworking - no Youtuby soundtrack.
Beautiful piece of furniture - as always :)
Just watching you do your thing is so relaxing that the first piano notes really startled me. (Yes, piano notes startled me. I was so relaxed.)

Bravo, Maestro. Esto sí que es arte. Gracias por compartir su pasión y talento
I am so PROUD of myself . . . . . . . for finding this channel.
Amazing bed ,work of art .I love the little wedge hammer and the dog of course .
Ive noticed every wood worker on RUclips has a shop dog. Im starting to think that is the only thing standing between me being and being a master craftsman. Time to get a dog! すごい
I am a Carpenter from France, country that has a great tradition in carpentry crafship but Still, I admire Japenese technics and art so much
Beautiful craftsmanship! The video editing and music only add to the experience! Greetings from Maastricht, the Netherlands
I’m a big fan of your job, watching the videos over and over.
Leaving the wedged tenons a little bit proud is a lovely touch. Wonderful work Ishtani-san! 😎😎
I could watch this for hours and hours... So relaxing.
Wow!!! This is an amazing piece of work! You did a wonderful job on this bed! It's so inspiring watching your videos.
Another beautiful video. Nice to see that in this day of age, where technology rules, that still it's the simple things which count. Thank you Ishitani-san.
Not one word was said and I enjoyed every minute of it.
True Craftsman. Nice clean lines. Elegant!
Man, that kind of work ethics and craftmanship is a work of art.
These videos are so well done and the furniture's beautiful
石谷さん、初めまして、凄く良い仕事しますよね、見てて良くわかります、丁寧そしてデザイン、何より伝統的な技！
弟子になりたいです、いつか石谷さんの家具を買ってみたいです。
you have a special machine for every single step.. :D but nice work, i like the minimalistic look..
