The commentary at the end was spot on. I believe both you and Alec are accomplishing your mission. For the record, you both have inspired me tremendously.
Alec Steele sent me, the joy in his video upon receiving this was incredible. You guys have clearly formed a brotherhood of respect, and for sharing a glimpse of that with us, I thank you sir.
you are a very inspiring person, i left school (in March) and became a craftsman and I'm so damn happy to be able to spend the time I have, working with wood and make the costumers happy thank you Greets from Austria
That is why you are the Samurai. The mix of hand and power tools, the choice of music and your comments at the end told a compelling story. Thank you for sharing your passion and thank you for inspiring the next generation. Outstanding!
Because of your videos I'm diving back into woodworking. I'm expecting my first child at the end of this summer, and I want to create a handmade gift for my son that he will be able to cherish for a lifetime. THIS video specifically inspired me as to what I'll make for him - a toy box. I'm an amateur, I don't have many tools, but I will pour my love and sweat into a simple box that I hope can barely resemble to beauty that you make. Well done sir, well done.
Hope all has worked out for you man and you have a healthy addition to your family. Good luck with the box build, minimum tools can be as efficient as a well kitted out workshop. You just have to think a little more about the design & process and it will take more time. Never a problem for some people.
That is a gorgeous chest, Señor Samurai! The craftsmanship and, dare I say it, love that went in to it is evident. It was a rare treat to watch Alec Steele open it... it was like a thousand Christmases rolled in to one! Bless you both!
Not only was the chisel wrought for you by Alec Steele a spectacular piece of work, but this box you created for him in return is a thing of rare beauty. Your outstanding craftsmanship and art was then capped off by the soulfulness of what it really means to be a father. I was the same way with my son when he was tiny. He's 14 now...big as me...and we're not just father and son, but we're best friends. But back to your work -- thank you both (you and Alec) for sharing your excellence with us.
I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos before- but I just wanted to say- This whole thing was totally on point. The entire concept of the collaboration with Alec- as well as the quality of the work you both sent to each other- absolutely on point. The design and execution of this chest- on point. Video editing and music- on point. And even the rant at the end- it's a message that I believe in. It's the reason I follow you guys and the reason that my life is centered on the mastery of my craft and the creation of awesome stuff. You guys rule. Great work.
Jesse, I know I am just one of many but I want you to know that because of you, I started to doing woodworking. I started by buying my first chisel set a year ago and haven't looked back since. Currently creating a timber framed tool chest in a woodworking class that I signed up for this spring. Again, it's because of the amazing craftsmanship that I see you produce that inspired me to "create." Just want to say thanks for all you do and your willingness to share it with us all!
The Beauty of working with your hands and the satisfaction you get at the end of a project is like watching your child born. I've been working with wood and other materials since I was 13 yrs. old. It has became a lost art and passion. I'm loving to see channels like yours and Alex's taking off and introducing people to the joys of labor. Me, myself have been reinvigorated to get out and continue what our fathers,fathers,father taught them.
What is really beautiful is that two incredibly talented craftsmen discovered each other because of RUclips and a huge mutual respect was gained. And we get to see this amazing respect flourish into a genuine friendship and we get to see how they make incredibly beautiful gifts for one another! Absolutely beautiful and fantastic! This is what RUclips was designed for! Thank you for sharing!
I was so mesmerized by your craftsmanship. My Dad (watching from Heaven) was a carpenter by day and a wood working magician by night. You brought back fond memories of days gone by. Your craftsmanship is a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Jesse, I started a woodworking business last year because of you. Your videos have inspired me to pursue this dream that has been mine since I was a boy. I'm happy to say that I'm turning away work because I'm so busy, and my craftsmanship has improved substantially because of your help. I have also connected with several other men in the area that had similar dreams, and we together serve a population of over 100,000 people with great woodworking. Thanks again for your passion, and your creativity!
First video I have watched of you, was you demonstrating how to make a scarf joint. I have seen numerous amounts of your videos since. As you hoped at the end of this video, that we would be inspired to get out and create. I have been blessed with that bug! Working out of my basement now, I watch these and have my sights set high to one day quit my full time job to become a full time traditional wood craftsmen. What a joy I have found in it. Not to mention purpose. This modern culture consists of so much consumption in our day to day lives. To live in a opposite lifestyle and to create! Very fulfilling... May you have encouragement and blessings in your life as what you have helped do for me.
Absolutely brilliant. Seriously, it is content like this that has indeed motivated me get out into my workshop more. Thanks so much for sharing, Jesse :)
That is a very worthy gift. Simple, elegant, with some subtle technical challenges showcasing your skill as well as your signature joinery, I love his maker's mark on the dome top. Well done, Samurai, well done.
that seed has grown in me, because of you and all other woodworker on RUclips, I decided to buy some tools and started doing some projects. I am barely starting, but I enjoy it a lot, and all videos I am watching make me want to do even more. thanks for your effort.
Smiling the whole time while watching this. Nothing like a couple fine craftsmen doing what they love to help each other through this thing we call life.
Commented before I got through your admonition there at the end. Wow. So true, need to get out and start doing, making and creating. Also have really enjoyed the mutual respect you both show each other. Thanks for all you do. Wouldn't have found his channel with out your heads up.
This was the greatest you tube collaboration of all time. I mean like seriously you and Alec are the two most amazing craftsmen on you tube in skill but also in your uplifting personality. Keep up the amazing work👍
You're not only giving an inspiring example of a master craftsman, you're also showing how to be a good father, how to love life, how to be humane. Thank you!
Wranglerstar it’s wild! I literally just watched your video on that crappy green Bosch “mini chainsaw” then commented, watched Alec Steele’s video on him opening this box and came here to see how it was made by this man and seen your comment. 😮
Great to see two people sharing their passion and joy. One doesn't get the same excitement receiving a gift from a big box store. My Father is a finishing carpenter so I get it. They still have on display that crazy long neck bird that I made in shop in grade 9. That was 41 years ago.
The joys of gift giving made manifest. Two talented guys collaborating over 6192 crow flight miles creating for each other beautiful artifacts. I'm gobsmacked
Thank you for the encouragement you and Alec put on y'alls channels. I also like to bless others and get out there and help. I hope others will do the same. Keep up the good work!!
This is truely amazing and makes me so happy, These two guys have made eachother somehing special that they can look at and enjoy for the rest of their lifes. This is what the internet was made for! Love this! Much lofe for the both of you Samurai and Alec!
Thanks to you Mr. Samurai, I found Alec Steels site after his chisel to you. This morning, I saw his video then watched your build. I make sawdust from which some neat stuff comes. You both are an inspiration to me. Thank you both for your brotherhood of craftsmen, artists.
Bye?! What about "Samurai OUT!"? :P You definitely inspire me. Soon I'll have room to start experimenting and failing with woodworking. And all of this is your "fault" :P
Yeah, I know :). Long before your collaboration I got addicted to his channel as well. Your and his channels are the only ones I receive updates whenever you release a new video. As I said, you both are inspirational, and made me will to get my butt off the couch and start doing amazing stuff. Thanks a lot.
Marcelo Schmidt, all we as feeble humans trying to be can do is continue to make mistakes and be enthusiastic!! Knowing that with every mistake, we learn to not make those same mistakes in the future. We grow into NEW mistakes, and keep learning... I love life....
Thank you so much for sharing your passion and enthusiasm with the world. There is nothing more personally rewarding than creating something with your hands and having the privelage of someone as equally talented in their craft accepting it so gratefully as a gift. Aside from my children, the legacy I hope to leave on this earth once Im gone is having had the opportunity to pass some of my knowledge on and instill passion for life and craft within another. You and Alec do this in every video thats uploaded. I truly hope we see a wave of new-age, old craftspeople spring to life and cross every first world country of the globe like a tsunami. Fist bump from the land down under. Love your work mate
I'm not a craftsmen (yet) but this mentality to create and putting passion to what I do inspires me from programming a layout for a site or even creating a simple database I always put all my passion and keep finding ways to keep improving. Keep the artistic flames going.
ahti29 he uses a lot of makita and awhile back he and makita had a falling out over their support of his channel. great tools but they made the samurai mad.
ahti29 he tried to get his viewers to pressure makita into giving him free tools and when that didnt happen he had hissy fit and painted his tools black
Mind blowing skill and craftsmanship. Thank you more than words can ever express on behalf of Alec, and myself. your comment at the end literally gave me chills. To hear the utter joy and passion for creating beauty in this world that pours from you when you talk about what you do is truly inspiring. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
just watched Alec unbox your box. you have to be on cloud nine for the way you made him feel. I truly think this is the best gift of art he has ever recived. you have outdone yourself on this box for Alex. thanks for sharing
Jesse, I found your channel about 2 years ago and started watching Alec about 6 months ago. It makes me so happy to see you both collaborate. I hope to see more collaboration in the future. If only all mankind would realize the potential sum of our skills and god given talents. Collaboration is the only thing that will save this planet from turmoil and I think that this collaboration is an example of the human potential on a smaller scale. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all.
What a beautiful gift. Alec was over the moon. Just seen him fighting with the packaging. This is going to be a beautiful collaboration. You are an artist sir.
I was blown away by the workbench a while ago now and now have m.s and it's very difficult to work ..I spend a lot of time doing woodworking projects inspired by you ...i enjoy all of your videos and especially your inspirational qoutes thankyou
Great stuff Alec and Jesse...addicted to both...love the things they make...love the way they encourage others to get out and let their creative juices flow and keep their hands busy. Thank you gentlemen.
My dad and I created a fine furniture woodworking LLC that we have been slowly growing over the last 14 months. It all started with your workbench video. Then, when you and Alec hooked up on gifting each other things, I'm hooked even more. Thanks for renewing true craftsmanship.
you and alec are both equally great world class craftsmen ..i enjoyed watching these videos a whole lot better than anything on tv thats for sure ..thank you both
Thanks for the wonderful, creative, and simple spirit of woodworking project. I live in an apartment so low noise is paramount. I started to use the Japanese manual methods and came across your projects and how you make them. I have been hooked ever since. Thanks for these wonderful videos. Please continue to make them.
You guys definitely did each other right... such craftsmanship on both ends... Great job, both of you.. I am a huge fan of you both. Thanks for sharing.
This was really wonderful to watch. It reminded me of all the hours with my grandpa who was a carpenter. He had the same love and patience. He also had time to explain the tools he used why he created as he did. It was a real blessing to see your workmanship. Thank you ❤
I love how you two make each other better. Your videos and workmanship seem to be on a different level.....a kind of synergy, from across an ocean! How cool. Keep building brother.
Incredible work yet again. That tool chest is so beautiful that if I get the chance to make something even half as awesome as that, I will. I just watched Alec's reaction to unboxing it and it was great. I didn't realize how big the chest was! Thank you for the two of you for doing this collaboration. This is the stuff of true inspiration. Stay awesome!
Please do not stop living your passion because that also is what makes us like both your channels : IT'S REAL, BEAUTIFUL and IT'S QUALITY. On both crafting and human level. Please do more colab together, because from what you've shown us you can only enhance each other's craft. Thanks for sharing all this
1. I think he liked it. 2. Who says us Brits are all "stiff upper lip" and decorum, restraint, etc. 3. I'm in tears over a f*****g wooden box. 4. Timber framing and concrete pouring in one video, fine woodworking in the next. Brilliant! 5. Through your combined efforts the world is a better place. Thank you both.
Loving it! This was superb! Not only the video editing but of course also the craftsmanship on the actual piece! Greetings from a German software guy living in Japan. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Samurai Carpenter yeaaay! Strikes again. and I would say I'm hooked, been a Carpenter over 30yrs and now got my taste for Japanese way of Framing. I have now made several wooden mallets your saw horses, got my Japanese saws and a couple chisels from ebay. Building a deck and your workbench with my friend who turned me on to you in the first place. Even made myself a piece pipe. Your videos always fire me up its a new perspective on the job I have always loved so much. Thank You!
Nice work Samurai :-) I started watching your channel when you made the first stone basin, I changed my job and became a dry stone waller due to it (sadly had to stop due to a shoulder injury after 18 months) but the fire was lit :) I've been building, reclaiming and repairing things since then so your comments at the end are totally true for me. Thanks Jessie and keep them coming and if you are ever over on the Isle of Wight (that's right at the bottom of England) give me a shout and I'll buy you a beer :-)
Fantastic collaboration. I'm just learning blacksmithing and it's great to see the connections between two forms coming together. I've always struggled with woodwork, but your videos give me the fuel to keep trying.
You are the Man! This video made me smile and I love your "Rant" at the end. You've got a kind heart and I see that in you. I just wanted to pass on some positive Vibes... Have a great day everyone reading this. Peace
Absolutely great! My two favorite craftsmen met in cyberspace. Pure Ji Ching: "... what is the same or the same, spiritually or ideally related.This will be the point where you resonate on each other, where you multiply each other's strength ..."
Great video, glad to see you and Alec working together, love both of your channels. I'm currently doing all my woodworking under a carport tent in my backyard, so your comment at the end really speaks to me, I'm going outside!!

Glad to hear it!
Where in the construction of this tool box did you use any screws?
72Yonatan he didnt. lol =-)
Michael P. Mills So true!
72Yonatan he used Robertson screws to build the crate he shipped it to Alec in
Alec Steele sent me, the joy in his video upon receiving this was incredible. You guys have clearly formed a brotherhood of respect, and for sharing a glimpse of that with us, I thank you sir.

It's been a year for you. My son is 14. I enjoy making things with him All the time.
@@IDK_Mr.M I hope you won the oneupsmanship award
That is a gorgeous chest, Señor Samurai! The craftsmanship and, dare I say it, love that went in to it is evident. It was a rare treat to watch Alec Steele open it... it was like a thousand Christmases rolled in to one! Bless you both!
I love the sight of you using the Chisel of Power to build the Chest of Awe!

Nice touch on the Robertson screws lol Only thing more Canadian than that would be finishing it with Maple syrup
jdowell2009 yeah that cracked me up. That was pretty funny.
Are you sure he didn't finish it with maple syrup? ;) It is Jesse after all ...
He didn't show the label on that can he was pouring on it...maybe some nice amber b-grade...
LOL... maple syrup.
Wait what screws?

I love how you use the damascus chisel to make this :) well done
Jesse and Alec, these guys are absolute stars and a real inspiration. This might just be the best thing that ever hit RUclips so far. Keep it up guys!
Absolutely brilliant. Seriously, it is content like this that has indeed motivated me get out into my workshop more. Thanks so much for sharing, Jesse :)
That is a very worthy gift. Simple, elegant, with some subtle technical challenges showcasing your skill as well as your signature joinery, I love his maker's mark on the dome top. Well done, Samurai, well done.
This colab was one of internet's finest moments.
....by 2 of youtubes finest craftsmen. I hope this is the start of some more great projects.
Jimmy Diresta is the best, he does everything on his projects... Check him out!!!
"Truths" lol what a joke, turn the subject into something moronic only makes you look like a fool.
I think Alec liked your gift ! Can't wait to see the hardware . This is why we drive ourselves to excel . Appreciation is everything !
Best collaboration ever!
that seed has grown in me, because of you and all other woodworker on RUclips, I decided to buy some tools and started doing some projects. I am barely starting, but I enjoy it a lot, and all videos I am watching make me want to do even more. thanks for your effort.
You forgot to send him a robertson screwdriver bit so he could open the crate you sent it in. LOL
Awesome craftsmanship on the tool box.
Smiling the whole time while watching this. Nothing like a couple fine craftsmen doing what they love to help each other through this thing we call life.
Amazing collaboration, definitely worth subscribing!
Alec sent me to your channel and now I have to thank him ! Very nice work sir, you and Alec are true craftsmen much respect and thanks.
Love the content Samurai! Keep up the awesome work!
I just finished watching Alec unbox the box. WOW! What a great work of art! Much appreciated. Peace be with you.
Samurai! You are a freaking monster! That was so amazing. I want to put that on eternal loop! Very very cool!
Commented before I got through your admonition there at the end. Wow. So true, need to get out and start doing, making and creating. Also have really enjoyed the mutual respect you both show each other. Thanks for all you do. Wouldn't have found his channel with out your heads up.
I'm rewatching it again. Love that the chisel was so integral to the process.
I'm glad you liked it Michael. Thanks for the encouragement.
I think everybody would agree that we are all glad that you both are keeping these crafts alive in the 21st century. Love both your channels.
you are a real artist
This was the greatest you tube collaboration of all time. I mean like seriously you and Alec are the two most amazing craftsmen on you tube in skill but also in your uplifting personality. Keep up the amazing work👍
The last 3 minutes of this video are the best signoff I have seen from the Samurai. Go make Saw Dust people :D
A Hearty "AMEN!" to that! I got my first Kanna today so I know a little about how Samurai felt when he opened the box and found that stunning chisel!
You're not only giving an inspiring example of a master craftsman, you're also showing how to be a good father, how to love life, how to be humane. Thank you!
You're a master skilled carpenter, Alec sent me here.
Watched the unboxing. I commented: "It's a joy seeing two such excellent craftsmen appreciating one another. Thank you for letting us in on it."
Excellent video and well edited,
Wranglerstar x2 Cody
@Wranglerstar i love your vids and man, this video makes my timber harder than maple in February. cheers
Wranglerstar it’s wild! I literally just watched your video on that crappy green Bosch “mini chainsaw” then commented, watched Alec Steele’s video on him opening this box and came here to see how it was made by this man and seen your comment. 😮
Brilliant. Can see the joy in you making things. Something that too many people don't understand. So satisfying to watch.
Actually the 'tripodmalfuncion' looks very statisfying! do such thing more often ;)
It looked like the panning lapse shots Alec is doing in some of his videos
thats what i meant
Great to see two people sharing their passion and joy. One doesn't get the same excitement receiving a gift from a big box store. My Father is a finishing carpenter so I get it. They still have on display that crazy long neck bird that I made in shop in grade 9. That was 41 years ago.
Damn that chisel is nice
I'm not a carpenter by any stretch, and I gotta say watching you work is pure stress relief. Thank you! Keep up the good work
Alec says "Thank you!"
The joys of gift giving made manifest. Two talented guys collaborating over 6192 crow flight miles creating for each other beautiful artifacts. I'm gobsmacked
ONE CHEST TO RULE THEM ALL
Thank you for the encouragement you and Alec put on y'alls channels. I also like to bless others and get out there and help. I hope others will do the same. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for the 'rant' (your word, not mine) at the end of the video!
This is truely amazing and makes me so happy, These two guys have made eachother somehing special that they can look at and enjoy for the rest of their lifes. This is what the internet was made for! Love this! Much lofe for the both of you Samurai and Alec!
"much lofe" lel
Much lofe for u too!
Not sure but I think he liked it.
i think so too, but his reaction was a bit hard to decypher
lol... yeah so vague, hard to read Alec
Jeff Gannon I just watch Alec reaction's video and I came here again to say you I understand your comment now...
who is "HE"????
Thanks to you Mr. Samurai, I found Alec Steels site after his chisel to you. This morning, I saw his video then watched your build.
I make sawdust from which some neat stuff comes. You both are an inspiration to me.
Thank you both for your brotherhood of craftsmen, artists.
So....you used Robertson screws. Well played.😂
I just watched both videos.... I thank you for showing us what craftsmanship is all about !! Great collaboration !!!!!!!
Bye?! What about "Samurai OUT!"? :P
You definitely inspire me. Soon I'll have room to start experimenting and failing with woodworking. And all of this is your "fault" :P
That was my impersonation of Alec's outro on his videos. Watch a couple and you will get the joke.
Yeah, I know :). Long before your collaboration I got addicted to his channel as well. Your and his channels are the only ones I receive updates whenever you release a new video. As I said, you both are inspirational, and made me will to get my butt off the couch and start doing amazing stuff. Thanks a lot.
I liked your homage to Alec's outro. Y'all are so awesome!
the eyebrow waggle and double row of teeth sealed the deal
Marcelo Schmidt, all we as feeble humans trying to be can do is continue to make mistakes and be enthusiastic!! Knowing that with every mistake, we learn to not make those same mistakes in the future. We grow into NEW mistakes, and keep learning... I love life....

Fist bump from the land down under. Love your work mate
I've first read the title "tool Vest for Alec" so I spent the whole video wondering what the heck was going on
The screws were only used on the crate that he airfreighted the toolbox in. The toolbox was pure Samurai joinery.
LOL.....I've used a few of those, myself :D
I'm not a craftsmen (yet) but this mentality to create and putting passion to what I do inspires me from programming a layout for a site or even creating a simple database I always put all my passion and keep finding ways to keep improving. Keep the artistic flames going.
Did he paint all his tools black to avoid advertising???
ahti29 he uses a lot of makita and awhile back he and makita had a falling out over their support of his channel. great tools but they made the samurai mad.
ahti29 he tried to get his viewers to pressure makita into giving him free tools and when that didnt happen he had hissy fit and painted his tools black
joe botsch good tools shit customer service.
Jimmy Diresta did the same. He painted everything white and sprayed his name on them.
Seb_the_builder how is it shit customer service to choose not sponser someone?
Mind blowing skill and craftsmanship. Thank you more than words can ever express on behalf of Alec, and myself. your comment at the end literally gave me chills. To hear the utter joy and passion for creating beauty in this world that pours from you when you talk about what you do is truly inspiring. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Great vid Samurai! Can you please make me something? Thanks in advance
Glad to see you guys having the craftsmanship sharing experience. We need more of this in our world. You guys rock!
It's another "how a carpenter says I love you" video
Also fantastic video Jesse
Miles Gillespie I'm surprised he didn't carve a heart on top with SC+AS inside 😅
Watching you take something so plain and turning it into something so beautiful, is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Came from Alec Steele and subbed immediately. 2 of the hardest working master craftsmen on RUclips. Thanks for the inspiration, guys!
just watched Alec unbox your box. you have to be on cloud nine for the way you made him feel. I truly think this is the best gift of art he has ever recived. you have outdone yourself on this box for Alex. thanks for sharing
There is nothing better or more rewarding then crafting yourself. This is absolutely gorgeous work!!
Jesse, I found your channel about 2 years ago and started watching Alec about 6 months ago. It makes me so happy to see you both collaborate. I hope to see more collaboration in the future.

My dad and I created a fine furniture woodworking LLC that we have been slowly growing over the last 14 months. It all started with your workbench video. Then, when you and Alec hooked up on gifting each other things, I'm hooked even more. Thanks for renewing true craftsmanship.
Your discussion AFTER the build.....was the best part of the whole video ! Thanks for sharing !!!
Thank you Samurai
I have been watching for a while, I have always crafted but now my work is more inspired by you and those like you
you and alec are both equally great world class craftsmen ..i enjoyed watching these videos a whole lot better than anything on tv thats for sure ..thank you both
Truly a samurai! From a tool and die makers eyes you are truly masterful.
Music, editing, and production are top class, keep them coming.
Sending greetings from the other coast... New Brunswick!
Thank you and Alec for the inspiration!
This is why doing "stuff" is so important.
Cheers!
unbelievable, Jesse. I've loved seeing this colab between you and Alec. So much inspiration from the both of you! Much love and respect to you both.
Thanks for the wonderful, creative, and simple spirit of woodworking project. I live in an apartment
so low noise is paramount. I started to use the Japanese manual methods and came across your
projects and how you make them. I have been hooked ever since. Thanks for these wonderful
videos. Please continue to make them.
For what it's worth, watching you always gets me pumped to go and get some woodworking done man.
You guys definitely did each other right... such craftsmanship on both ends... Great job, both of you.. I am a huge fan of you both. Thanks for sharing.
This was really wonderful to watch. It reminded me of all the hours with my grandpa who was a carpenter. He had the same love and patience. He also had time to explain the tools he used why he created as he did. It was a real blessing to see your workmanship. Thank you ❤
I love how you two make each other better. Your videos and workmanship seem to be on a different level.....a kind of synergy, from across an ocean! How cool. Keep building brother.
Incredible work yet again. That tool chest is so beautiful that if I get the chance to make something even half as awesome as that, I will.
I just watched Alec's reaction to unboxing it and it was great. I didn't realize how big the chest was!
Thank you for the two of you for doing this collaboration. This is the stuff of true inspiration. Stay awesome!
Thank you, Samurai! I like your mixing up of power and hand tool techniques to show how many different ways joints can be cut.
Please do not stop living your passion because that also is what makes us like both your channels : IT'S REAL, BEAUTIFUL and IT'S QUALITY.
On both crafting and human level.
Please do more colab together, because from what you've shown us you can only enhance each other's craft.
Thanks for sharing all this
1. I think he liked it.
2. Who says us Brits are all "stiff upper lip" and decorum, restraint, etc.
3. I'm in tears over a f*****g wooden box.
4. Timber framing and concrete pouring in one video, fine woodworking in the next. Brilliant!
5. Through your combined efforts the world is a better place. Thank you both.
Thank you for doing this for Alec and thank you for sharing this with all of us keep up the good work.
Loving it! This was superb! Not only the video editing but of course also the craftsmanship on the actual piece! Greetings from a German software guy living in Japan. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Samurai Carpenter yeaaay! Strikes again. and I would say I'm hooked, been a Carpenter over 30yrs and now got my taste for Japanese way of Framing. I have now made several wooden mallets your saw horses, got my Japanese saws and a couple chisels from ebay. Building a deck and your workbench with my friend who turned me on to you in the first place. Even made myself a piece pipe. Your videos always fire me up its a new perspective on the job I have always loved so much. Thank You!
That's awesome Don. Send me some pics on Facebook.
I enjoy the sounds of life in the background. A good father always has his kid around him when he is enjoying life and making something.
Thank you, Samurai Carpenter for this video... that's what I call the craftsmanship brotherhood.
Nice work Samurai :-) I started watching your channel when you made the first stone basin, I changed my job and became a dry stone waller due to it (sadly had to stop due to a shoulder injury after 18 months) but the fire was lit :) I've been building, reclaiming and repairing things since then so your comments at the end are totally true for me. Thanks Jessie and keep them coming and if you are ever over on the Isle of Wight (that's right at the bottom of England) give me a shout and I'll buy you a beer :-)
Fantastic collaboration. I'm just learning blacksmithing and it's great to see the connections between two forms coming together. I've always struggled with woodwork, but your videos give me the fuel to keep trying.
because of people like you on here are the reason that I'm in woodworking today & now for the rest of my life so thank you. samurai brother Hood
Beautiful work. Brings back memories of working with my grandfather in his cabinet shop. I could smell the fresh sawn cherry watching this.
You are the Man! This video made me smile and I love your "Rant" at the end. You've got a kind heart and I see that in you. I just wanted to pass on some positive Vibes... Have a great day everyone reading this. Peace
Absolutely great! My two favorite craftsmen met in cyberspace. Pure Ji Ching: "... what is the same or the same, spiritually or ideally related.This will be the point where you resonate on each other, where you multiply each other's strength ..."
Great video, glad to see you and Alec working together, love both of your channels. I'm currently doing all my woodworking under a carport tent in my backyard, so your comment at the end really speaks to me, I'm going outside!!
There is something calming about the sound of wood being cut by a sharp piece of iron,, a very nice job and good on you for keeping those tools alive
