As a carpenter for 30 years, I wish I could have been a craftsman at a level like this...6000 hours for a project is not doable here on the east coast...NOBODY wants to pay for quality.
Craftsmanship is one thing, but I definitely agree that people need to be able to pay for it. We all talk as if a commoner in 1800’s can afford these mansions. At the end of the day, practicality is just as important as quality. There is always a opposing trade off. It is where on the spectrum you want to stand on that determines your niche.
Good to see a young person capture the crafts that are slowly going away. Nowadays the younger generation just want to use a CNC machine and call it crafts. I've been working with wood for 65 years now and love every minute of it. I had a great wood shop teacher in high school and he worked it to where I got two years wood shop and two years being a TA. He taught me so much and I'm learning every day about the beautiful wood GOD put on this earth for us to enjoy! Keep up the great work young man!
Great to see people having pride their work and also their clients appreciating quality craftsmanship and who are willing to pay what is deserved. We are missing this in today's mass-produced world of complete crap. MDF flat packs make me want to eat my own shit. Hats off to you, your work looks truly stunning!
Love this, I'll show it to my high school woodshop classes. I do tree work on the weekends, bring the wood in to mill and we build projects from the logs we mill.
AZ Mobile Detail Kingz N Reviews For real. I had to pause the video at the closeup and admire everything that went into those stairs. So much detail in just the baluster.
I am blessed to work at NK and I can tell you the project we are working on now and the ones coming down the pipe are mind bending on a Egyptian Pyramid level. We are doing things most people can only do with a CNC, by hand.
No hes not the equivalent of Jesus in the woodworking world, but we are doing some very cool things. Maybe the awards we have won say something about our work. Link to your work? Interested in checking it out. Im originally from the Bay Area my self.
Im not sure why they would call him a master Craftsman, when it showed his shop and the carpenters in the shop actually building the stairs. Calling him a great designer is more appropriate.
maybe because to build stairs is actually a craft isn't it. And lets leave the semantics of looking up the word in dictionary etc. He worked and is working with his hands to produce something out of wood, thats craftsman, "mater" i don't care about that, but like I said these are just words. I wouldn't call him joiner or carpenter. A woodworker or craftsman suits best
boekelnj Now it looks like the critc doesn't enjoy critique. Fundamentally, it takes a small mind to tear down others and a magnanimous mind to let someone else get praise. Go ahead and continue to define yourself from this point forward. Seriously. We have all been the critc and we all have an opportunity to grow.
If you gave his shop and 6 months time to all the contestants. I have a feeling the gap in "skill". Would dramatically decrease. That amount of time is unrealistic for most craftsmen to spend on a single piece. Not saying the guy doesn't do a great job. Although I believe he has a large advantage.
😍 Role model, i love woodworking i find it peaceful. Would like a chance to learned from him. Im from Australia doing abit of woodwork but not alot of the creative/crafmanship involved.
So he designs it on paper, and then design software cuts it by the latest machines they have...i think someone needs to tell them the difference between craftsman and a designer
He's defiantly got mad skills.Very Abnormal.My belief is a craftsman should be able to build what he designs himself.That way you don't get to big for your hat.
No one at the age of 28 is a master craftsman, no one. It takes years of experience to become a truly skilled wood worker. Send him over to my shipyard and the master craftsmen I employ will teach him how to work with wood.
You are failing to realize that human intelligence varies tremendously. This guys’ IQ is much, much higher than the master craftsmen who remain employed by somebody with such an enormous ego that he feels compelled to make negative comments without posting evidence of his own self reported granduer.
Nico76, ; by the comet you left, i can tell that you are not a master, cause you put a limit on yourself! You at most , just another replaceable worker,never a master! Sorry!
Ok relax everyone! I know he's your boss but he's not the second coming. He's good but I also know a bunch of guys just as good . And their employees aren't ready to marry them.
I feel like death is my friend after this ..i do this kind of work and better and i just get spit in face and called a mexican..im descendant of central american people of guatemalas indigenous familys ..i learned and worked since i was 8 years old because we had to help our dad..he was a master carpenter by generations before him...i can draw and design and Plant and chop em down the whole process basically..25 years experience and i cant find work because the industry is being color washed ...they dont want have colored workers anymore now that they have been established....all i want to is work...now i plan something else ...i know im not alone as few friend have taken the leep and now are in wood workers heaven .all im do is pray ....

The reason things are made quickly and not to last is so the company can make money, otherwise they'd make all these fantastic products, then everyone would have them last forever and they'd go out of business without consistent sales. It's called "planned obsolescence", that's why light bulbs fail, computers and TVs die, why furniture falls apart, etc. How long a business like his will last is up in the air, must be pricey to buy from him, and he only does stairs, that's a pretty small net to cast.
I hate the endless use of the word 'Master'. It originally derived as a historical job title for the guy who would lead a team of carpenters, stonemasons or whatever - like a modern day foreman or supervisor. It's now been butchered and over-used to the extent that someone who can run a Toyota from A to B can call themselves a 'Master Driver'.
Truly exceptional work but do staircases really need to be made so extravagantly? Just looking at them reminds me of those $200,000 cars like the Lamborghini which are the most unsafe cars in the world. Why would anyone buy such an expensive car at the expense of ones life How insane is that? And so, why spend for such an expensive staircase when one of much lesser value will work just as well? You spend 1,000s of hours of your life creating extreme staircases that, while beautiful, only the very rich can afford. It makes no sense to me.
No such thing as a “master” craftsman lol Uh yeah I’m hear to get my masters license in woodworking haha lol. What a joke. I hate hearing people throw around the “master” terminology when it doesn’t apply to woodworking.
I wish all makers had his focus & commitment. And heart.

You have been a craftsman longer than this dude has lived. that alone puts you closer to the category of master in my humble opinion.
ROB-IN-PHILLY 100%
It has reduced the skill set and craftsmanship

Indeed he is THE MASTER 👏
The staircase is beautiful.
man the dovetailed stringer that awesome man this guy is amazing

It would be nice to see some more of his work and techniques instead of all the bragging jeez..
I'm sure he does nice work but the folks being interviewed are laying it on thick with all the boasting about the guy.
BrewPub not true. His work is on another level.

thomas seven don't need to boast. Was just genuinely interested to see some work. Not even judge it or anything weird. Any ways have a good day
It is probably his business partners. Does not take away from his amazing ability
We need more tade schools. I'm learning wood working and enjoy it
How old are you?

I'd like to see your work side by side with his. We'll see who the craftsman is.
Does It matter who I know? You chose to criticize someone else's work, which you cannot perform yourself.

Excellent. Much success to you.
Good to see very refreshing
I wish anyone liked me as much as the people interviewed in this video love Nathie Katzoff.
Why are you being envious be who you are with the same love in what you do it doesn't matter to me who likes or dislikes me I'll be who I am
@artnouveau7633 I was making a joke about how ridiculous all these people sound drooling all over this guy
This guy definitely has a God given talent, I would love to work with him on a project... one can dream
Epic and I appreciate there was zero mention of beer in the video because I hate some sponsored content!
😍 Role model, i love woodworking i find it peaceful. Would like a chance to learned from him. Im from Australia doing abit of woodwork but not alot of the creative/crafmanship involved.
Ahhh, excuse me, did you just skip past the fact that he sleeps standing up?!
I believe it's just a saying. At least it is where I'm from, to describe someone hard working who barely sleeps.
Sleep standing up? That’s nothing, I sleep hanging upside down in an old belfry.

absolute respect. Thats what I want to do, and I am two years younger than him :D
Cool stuff as a carpenter I love my job
oh yes , i like it . greez from good ol´germany .
He's defiantly got mad skills.Very Abnormal.My belief is a craftsman should be able to build what he designs himself.That way you don't get to big for your hat.
You cant be far a above genius, jesus man calm down. The guy is a genius, simple as that; individuals change the world and not the masses.
where is the magic?
i didn't see it.
Get eye surgery.

Word - I retrained as a boatbuilder and time served is a very real thing.
My best friend was a woodworker JESUS
Hey, he's my best friends too. That makes me and you brothers.
It was his dad
He looks like Mac Demarco
agreed, but with like 70% more autism lol. I think this guy is an autistic savant, honestly, not trying to be mean!
"master craftsman" is in my opinion someone old, who has dedicated their whole life to a craft. not a 28 year old.
wonder what this guy could do if he made guitars
its different, stairs are huge pieces, guitars are light and too small for his interest i guess.
From a seasoned 🇬🇧 carpenter, this is some matrix shit!!!!!!
May your life be as blessed as guys who buys a staircase that is a 6,000 hrs job.

Whatever.
Many people have same foresight.
Soooooo he designs, sketches, walks in slow motion and other people do the actual work???
👊👍
I guess the publisher titled this video simply "Master Craftsman" because "Master Wood Stairs Builder" would sound too boring.
how much for that bathtub?! I'm serious!
Probably worth kings and queens money xD
I'm sure of it
Very cool...

hmmmm yes
😂
ego is one hell of a drug, eh?
there are many talented carpenters who produce amazing works....
Wood working is sort of a guy thing. We guys envy someone who can make beautiful wood work. Keep the good work up!
Thomas Burns oh guess I didn't get the memo 😂
I know quite a few women that would put other men's work to shame. Nice try, though.
MY EX IS GREAT A WOOD WORKING. A TRUE MASTER.
Notice me senpai
Lots of jealous people out there. Too many small minds.

28 yr old master? At what? Lol
I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.
A craftsmen is something, but you guys talking drama, a craftsman don't like people to overrate him, he do things because he likes to
