I like the rustic nature of this project. It is in keeping with traditional Japanese tool boxes in that they do not use finishes of any kind in their tool boxes. They are meant to be rustic and functional. Artistic in the sense of the craftsman’s skill without it being an intended show piece. This was a very good expression of that spirit. Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m inspired ! 😀…again !
I don’t think I have ever seen wood so soft before. You could probably look at it wrong and it would break.
If you take a bar of soap and rub a nice film on the sides of your saw, it will stop that high pitched squeal when you are using it.
I really love your approach with simple tools and only a few of them. How many tools do you have for doing your hand work?
Bonne continuation… (du massacre……) troll
I’m about to learn woodworking or at least I say I am. I took a safety course at our local woodshop and was overwhelmed by all of the machines, which are from the 60s and 70s. I cannot believe what you just did with these tools alone. Thanks for this! This will help me so much!
Just want to say, if you are a beginer cArpENter and will eyeball the entire project dont use Japanese Woorworking or we might have another Pearl Harbor on our hands, just because of you. SO SAD
Made me feel easier for approaching woodworking. Too easy to get lost in making everything 100% perfect
I think japanese woodworking is about perfection not about simplicity.
I like this guy… not very perfect but it’s more realistic
I’m a German-trained journeyman in the US. It’s great to remind myself that everything doesn’t have to be line to line perfect to work. Fun box. I laughed out loud when you said, just eyeball it!
First I’d like to say that your Japanese woodworking skills are better than mine ever have been or ever will be and no, I don’t have any woodworking videos of my own. I also concede that you did point out many times that this was a quicky chisel toolbox, was not traditional, and that it serves its purpose just fine. With that said here are my negative comments (what video would be complete without them?) 1) A lot of times the difference between amateur and professional is not God-level skills or super high-dollar equipment but being careful what you’re doing. You’re not measuring carefully, cutting carefully, or basically anything carefully. 2) What you call "good fit" (1:24), my Grandpa would have called "holes big enough to throw a cat through". Luckily for all of us, he’s not around to critique our work. ‘Thumbs up’ vote for your video, nonetheless.
Lastly, will you PLEASE sharpen that pencil? That rubbing wood on wood doesn’t make a very good mark as you may have noticed (or maybe not).
Yes.. only a 3 mm gap! 😮
where can I get these japan tools
Where did you get all the tools?
Well now I have a clue!
this is pretty rad. i just really wish you cut the shoulders of the dovetail with the ryoba you had right on hand. those fuzzy lines really irked me, though i tried not to let it
Impeccable!!! 👍
This was amazing and thank you!
nice video! it would be fun if you wrote down what the tools you used in this video are called
Perfect!! This has inspired me.
I use mainly soft wood for finishes that are out of human contact such being up high but on display. It can be really easy to use and some softwoods can have a beautiful finish.
I think the part I enjoyed most about this video is your attitude. As a "perfectionist" I just suffer a lot so your video is good for my learning to not be so. Thanks.
Hi, I love your videos to begin with. I am curious, do you have plans for making a Zabiki? (don’t shoot me for the spelling). Also, can you explain in a video how to choose good used chisels?? I am looking for timber chisels. Japanese…..
Very entertaining funny and informative. Thanks… liked and subscribed. 😊
Nice Final Fantasy font
that wood is identical on what I buy here in Italy under the name of Paulownia…. I think your first impression was the right one
Im a complete beginner, you wouldnt happend to have a sort of print out plan for this ?
Looks great. Bare footed carpentry!
i always learn something – thanks
Looks like Butternut wood ?
The catalpa i know in Alabama/USA is very dense, heavy and rot resistant. It was grown in the American colonies for fish bait and fence posts. In certain months moths lay eggs on the big leaves and the multi colored worms are a favorite for fishing in the local creeks and rivers. I have a stump on a concrete slab out back of my shop i use for ax work that’s at least 25 years old.
Very nice 👍
Great enthusiasm and demonstration of accurate carpentry skills. Thanks. It’s pronounced Re-yo-bi nor Rai-yo-bi
Look.keep up with the good woodworking.i like you keep the Japanese traditions in woodworking.i also know that this is my be only o hobby for you and that’s cool..allow me to give you and advise though .You have to start been a little be more precise when it comes to japanese woodworking especially..they are very known for their perfection abilities !keep up 😀
Beautiful work, i love the simplicity of the process, yet the box came out looking v pretty indeed. Thank you for sharing. Respect from Pakistan
Where did you learn Japanese woodworking techniques?
The guy is no carpenter . He might have all the tools but hes all over the place.
It looks and sounds like you’re making it out of wood-colored styrofoam. lol
とても素晴らしい😀
Lovely little box
LOoks like siberian elm I bought from NW MO. but its harder than catalpa
The tite says beginning. I didnt know that it meant that you were the beginner.
great box..
I like your little box! Do you think I can used the same pattern on a 35 inch to 25 inch and 10inches deep? I have some recycled wood and I want to used it as a storage and a cushion on top.
japanese are crying right now!!
Made sloppy. Not good. Сделано неаккуратно, на отъебись.
Désolé, mais quel travail de cochon!!!
I know it as kiri… a friend had some threes in his ranch. not very common here in Brasil.
