    Somehow, Japanese woodworkers seem to be the best. I also love their tools. Those drawers are cushion fit...in other words they are so precise that the air pressure of pushing one drawer pushes out another. I'm just a hobby woodworker but if I had the chance to live my life over again I would choose to be a craftsman of this status and lead a very simple but satisfying life.

    • @aleveraj

      It really helps that Japan has a system in place to fund the Living National Treasure. Basically an artist of sufficient quality gets an annual stipend to preserve and pass on their craft, helping to free their time to dedicate to just doing whatever it is they do as well as it can be done. It is a lifetime award of about $30,000usd a year.

      Yeah, piston fit, looks super today, feel like a dimwit next week when drawers frozen solid and no way to get behind them to dry out and push them out. Drawer bottoms swell against box sides, and full height drawer backs scrape against dust board. Sure, no central heat or air in many homes still, but western construction evolved with same conditions during the same time, same tools, and gave more due to the movement of wood across grain.

      @Nr1Suchti 2 года назад +2

      I am not sure, if this is intended. One drawer should not open if you close another, otherwise it gets annoying in daily use. Thats the reason that you build the backside of a drawer a little bit lower than the side-parts, so that the air can flow within the cabinet, over the backside of the drawer.
      But I am very sure this master craftsman knows all that, so I am sure, that he has a reason to build the drawers like that and I would like to ask him about that.
      But I cannot imagine the reason being the random opening of a drawer, when you close one.

      But pocket screws are good for a few decades at most. Well setup joinery will last centuries, or even millennia in the right environment. Look at wooden furniture and joinery survivng from Egypt's Old Kingdom.

    • @YaoiMastah
      @YaoiMastah 6 лет назад +6

      Indeed. But the Japanese are in an entirely different level. In Europe, the French and Italian cabinets are famous, but those are the exceptions, not the norm. The Japanese are blessed with a thousand years of superior woodworking tools and an abundance of wood. But looking at a bloke like the one in the video, this level of woodworking skills is witnessed only with violinmakers and stockmakers in Europe, and this bloke was just making cabinets.

    Never tire of watching such craftsman. Always an inspiration. Finally getting to a point where I'm reasonably happy using my Japanese planes to smooth, flatten and polish timbers and boards but alas, I'll never be able to work like the gentleman in the video. Too many years of working on building sites have shot my knees to the point where even just watching this chap create his masterpieces sitting down like that sets my Knees off!!
