Inimitably beautiful Japanese craftsmanship at the very highest level. Then (2016) as now (2024)
Warmest regards from the Northern black forest 🌲🌿🌳
Putting aside the mastery of the woodworking skills, working back through your videos, I would like to commend Chie on the improvement in the film making style - it is wonderful to see. I love the pace and the shooting style of the current videos - thank you.
The timeless spirit of a true artisan! Keep it going.
what I like about this in particular is the craftmanship, the knowledge, the passion, the design, the material, the carpenter, the workshop, tha art, the culture, the outcome, the complexity, the simplicity, the quality, the sturdiness, the stubberness, the devotion, the appreciation, the contemporariness, the timelessness, the sustainability, the calmness, the flow, the music and the dog
Great channel. I love the videos that are in normal speed. They are very calming. The fast videos like this one, although rare, take that experience away. Thanks for putting the effort and doing this channel.
I just think your furniture is wonderful. You show so much skill and craftsmanship and passion for your work and it is a real honour to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing!

look at his nail and hand , it was a really hard working man . Appriciated
very nice! love the hand carved tops add a really nice touch to them. never saw walnut that light in color before beautiful looking wood.and beautifully designed/crafted
Thank you. It is East Asian Walnut. Wood grain is same as Black Walnut :)
ISHITANI FURNITURE ALWAYS!& that wood has some beautiful color to it .the grain definitely looks familiar. ") is it as lightweight but dense as black walnut? & does it cut & chisel the same as black?
Can't say enough good things about your channel, work and style.
Mesmerized Everytime
I love these videos both for the technique, the machinery and the ability to teach by showing not saying. Finally, the sawhorses that are always seen and in use are those designed by Krenov that seem to have made it all the way to Japan.
Your work is so bueautiful, I had never seen that tecnique of carpentry without using nails and screws, i knew it existed but i amazes me that you use it in the whole process of your work, i makes the piece more unique. Lots of love from Perú, your videos are much appreciated
thanks for uploding again, it's good to see the old movies again .... and this one shows clearly the problem with your hands ... keep up the good work
Thank you :)
I love your woodworking, and your videos are an inspiration to thousands of people. I'm sure many an aspiring woodworker like me, just likes to watch you work. It is very calming and almost meditative to just watch a master craftsman. I have the same passion for work, but I work in computers and don't really have the opportunity to share my work like this. Thank you for taking to time to show us the spirit of woodworking in Japan.
Glad to see some good stretching and relaxation exercises. Craftspeople need to take care of their bodies! Something we often forget!
Really beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice! Also in the "gloveless" closeups i could see where the dermatitis raged on the hands - it looks like something painfull and annoying, i hope he'll get rid of that problem for good soon! 早く回復 !
Thank you :)
First time on your channel and watching. Beautiful work. Just beautiful.
Chie
Stop letting him drink coffee, I was not ready for the fast speed work. Lol. Grate video.
いつものように、私の愛する石谷さん、あなたの仕事は完璧です。おめでとうございます！👍
Moc pěkné. Tady vládne na 100% řemeslo. Mistr velice dobře ví co dělá.
Super.
I really enjoy watching your work, thank you very much for sharing these amazing videos, Greetings from Mexico.
I've wached all your videos please make some more videos. Verry verry beautiful working verry calm and japanese acuracy👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 what is made in Japan it must be the best no doubt. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina👋👋👋👋
thanks for sharing this, it's like meditation watching these. I'm a long way further down the woodworking learning curve, he keeps moving the target though!
Amazing work, thanks for putting up some videos again!
One man's stool, another man's art!
when stool is beautiful
Natsuki-Sensei you made a very beautiful piece there and your House seems to be beautiful. Maybe you could show us around in your house so we can see what your art looks like in usage.
Es muy inspirador verte trabajar, gracias por compartir tu arte!
Inspires me everytime I see one of many things you build so patiently I do see the dermatitis I feel for you brother with such skill this one obstacle with ur hands but love from Canada once again see u soon I hope
Most Talented Carpenter👌👌
I love watching your expert chisel work!!!
Really beautiful! Love your videos. You should use Japanese text to mark the furniture when you're finished too. It is so much better looking and suitable to your work than English I think! Either way - great piece. Would love to own or build one like it myself some day. Keep up the good work and the videos!
Thank you :)
Beautiful work.
いつも素晴らしいビデオをどうも有難う御座います。全てに素晴らしいです。大変勉強になります。遠いバルセロナから応援しています。
ベテランとは言え、怪我には気をつけて下さいね。
Parabéns, perfeito trabalho.
アシスタント しろちゃんとのストレッチ楽しそうですね。椅子の作り方も👍です。
和也さんありがとうございます。しろちゃん待ち構えていたみたいです。(^-^)
Beautiful work bud. Keep these videos coming!
Excellent work.
Great channel, I really like your work!
But to be honest, I don´t like the time lapse videos. The "normal" ones are very calming :D
Liked what you did to the center of the seat. Beautiful. Vinny
Thank you again :)
Wonderful! 👍 I'd like to make one like this, but I think might be difficult! 😊 Congratulations!!!
Art in the highest order.
Very nice.
I am new to your site. Love your work.
just perfect!!! Thank you.
Great job, congratulation and thanks for share
That was great fun to watch. Thanks.
perfect work 👍
Una belleza la obra !!!!!!!!
Una obra de arte
great idea and working class
What are you doing with the legs at 4:40? with the lights? or is it a heat source?
Thanks, for everything.
So awesome thanks for inspiration and content.
What is the angle your drilling?
Is it 7 or 10 degree or even more?
I think many woodworker fans would like to know
Great work
I also want to know about the angle ... is it 15 degrees or more?
Your work is so wonderful to watch. Your support team must make life wonderful for you. I wonder three things? What is the feeling of the grooves you put in the seat of that stool? Did you finish them more than you showed in this film? what chisel did you use for that grooving? thanks
You are awesome. I'm yours biggest fan!
You are a great craftsman. Are the designs of the furniture yours as well?
Qual angulação vc usou pra furar a peça????
he totally skipped the “compound angle”/of the legs” which is why I wanted to see the blog ! as well as the cutting out of the legs meeting the floor.
Saludos desde Colombia.
excellent job
Greetings from South Africa. I love watching you at work and your dog is ever so cute. What software do you use to design your furniture? Blessings and peace.
hi ishitani awesome work great job... do you mind if i ask you what kind of oil you use...at the end?
were you microwaving the biscuits? shims? dunno what to call them. beautiful work!
Nice, are you applying heat to the balusters? why?
Poetic craft!
Would you introduce us to your machines in a video?
I am interested in knowing what type of glue you use? Love your work and high quality video.
Wow.. what is that parting tool used? It looks, to have a caliper or micrometer attachment? Can you buy those? Great video. Thanks~🔨Lisa♿
neverminded... i found it... i was able to read the toll designer's name.(2:45) Thanks Again,, glad i found your channel. ~🔨Lisa♿
Very nice
Just awsome...
What is the drill bit used at 1:45? Thanks, and these videos are great!
would be interesting, yes..can't find any of this solid ones larger than 20mm
similar: kwb 3-s japanese auger bit
If you Google "Japanese F-Type bit" you should find plenty of buy links. They're essentially auger bits. I have a couple and if find they don't tug through a workpiece like western augers which I find nice for control. They also leave an incredibly clean cut for such a bit. They're not cheap but well worth trying out.
I wonder if East Asian walnut is the same or similar to butternut. Butternut is like, the North American "white walnut". It's quite soft though compared to other hard woods. Either way, I love the grain of the East Asian walnut. Edit: I did some quick research. I believe what Natsuki uses is Juglans Mandshurica, that's the latin name. Black walnut, Juglans Nigra. Butternut, juglans cinerea. Interesting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juglans
Fantastic......love
I would very much appreciate knowing what finish you are using. Will you share that please? Ned
Hello Ishitani! What angle to you drill legs at? Thanks
Do you have anything on the design of the trestles that you're using like they're a workbench? I'd like to make some like that to use outdoors.
I love the x- wedges. Very cool. What kind of walnut are these walnut stools, the oak kind?
East Asian Walnut is Bright color :)
ISHITANI FURNITURE ahh. Thanks. Great channel. Learning all kinds of stuff.
Love your videos, what angle do you use to drill the holes for the legs?
what hapen with your finger right hand's, i hope you had recover, thank's for all your videos
what kind of glue are you using to glue the legs on?
Thanks!
What type of drill bit are you using?
I keep watching this video! I love everything about it. Is there a specific name for the carving detail on the stool's top? I want to research it more. And what do you call the type of carving chisel/tool used? Many thanks from Australia!
a beautiful stool, thankyou for the video....one question, why warm the wedges (@5.22)?
The wood is shrink later.
So we drying in advance.
Can you explain the carving on the seat? I am not familiar with this style or tradition.
Hi there!! Can you tell which are the orange clamps you are using? Great job as always!!
Pony Pipe Clamp.
Hello .than you treat the wood ???)
great video! what was the tool used to create the spigots on the lathe?
This one ? [RobertSorby 970]
Why were the stool legs being held within that box with lights? Are you trying to heat up the tenons? Is it to allow the glue to work better?
The wood is shrink later.
So we drying in advance.
Tenon of legs shrink 0.5 mm.
Wow, the things I’d do for an apprenticeship there.
Same. Sigh same
CNC machine or a simple wood cutting machine can do this in a matter of minuts and half the price however it is more fun to do it in a traditional way
What is a good Japanese hand plane like the one on your page?
Are there any cheaper way to drill holes in angle beside using this machine?
Why were the wood shims were microwaved?
my guess is to suck all the moisture out? so as the glues applied they swell back up creating more wedging action? don't quote me on that but its my guess.
The wood is shrink later.
So we drying in advance.
Hi Ishanti, I remember watching a video of yours. You created your own plywood, I wanted to see the process again but I can't find your video, can you send me a link? Thank you! Love your work by the way!
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing! Just wondering, is there a way to make the taper of the legs lie flush with the underside of the stool? Around 5:50 you can see what I mean.
bovko I was just thinking the same thing... If you had appropriate bits, could you countersink the mortise hole to the full diameter of the top end of the leg, allowing the leg to be embedded? Maybe it would weaken the board too much...
I was thinking from the perspective of the legs - i.e. using something other than a lathe to make the pegs, etc. But you are totally right - using a drill bit with the wider leg diameter at the same angle as the one the other holes were made at might produce an even better result. I don't think such a shallow hole would compromise the strength too much.
Brendan Chambers totally, but I think it doesn't really fit well with the rest of the methods he's using.. :)
I think the legs look like the shoulder of tenon touch to underside are mostly two-step tenon hole.
Round bar legs are difficult.
I wrote about this before in response to the 1.0 version. I’m not arguing against the idea; only questioning whether for the stools it is worth the trouble and expense? Basically the problem is that the round leg mortises in the seat are drilled at a compound angle. The legs are turned on a lathe and are therefore round. This means that for a shoulder on the leg to meet the bottom of the seat completely tight, the shoulder would have to be cut at the same compound angle as the mortise. This could be done by inserting the leg, scribing the shoulder, and using a chisel to cut back to the scribe line. It would take time though.
The makers of Hans Wegner’s Peacock chair, PP Mobler, developed a power router jig to rotate the chair leg at a precise angle to create the angled shoulder. In addition, the bottom of the chair mortises are step drilled at a larger diameter to capture the compound angled shoulder and to hide any slight discrepancy. The chair costs around $7-8000 US. This a big company and they use a lot of CNC machines, and they make about 70 of the Peacocks each year.
I’m just trying to support Ishitani, and to suggest that he is probably working under constraints for what he can charge for his work. I am a big fan and hope he gets paid enough because I know how difficult it is to produce his high level of quality.
why do the stools and benches have small grooves chiseled in the top? I’ve seen it done in a couple of your videos.
Hi sir, how important is that laser used right before you drilled the legs holes in the stool top.
Is it a laser you installed or did it come with machine?
lovely...
What is the jig you were using with the parting tool at the lathe when turning the leg tennons?
why heat the wedges?
