ISHITANI - Making a Walnut Trestle Table 

At the risk of being corny, this is what it must be like if poetry can be viewed. Just plain and simple amazing craftsmanship! No "What's up, guys!" No lame pathetic jokes! I sometimes think that most "build" videos are posted because people love to hear their own voice. And they're mostly americans!

I bet I've watched him build this table 10 times there is just something relaxing about watching this guy work

I can't quite find the words to express how much I enjoy your videos, and how grateful I am for the peace they help me to find. Thank you Chie and Natsuki...and especially Shiro. :)

Seriously man, I've had a horrible day, but seeing your notification pop up just made my day. I'm always so inspired and at peace watching you work.

No puedo negar que me enamora la carpintería japonesa a comparación de muchos paises y a comparación de mi país Perú en el sitio donde laboro todo es cantidad pero no calidad y a veces quisiera darme el lujo de tener esa paciencia y de hacer un buen arte en la madera pero a pesar de todo siempre realizo mis trabajos bien hechos eso me enorgullece mas a pesar de algunas llamadas de atención. Gracias por tus vídeos Maestro 👏👏

Браво! Не работа, а песня! Какая-то философия мастерству! Тому кто снимал видео, отдельное благодарю, всё снято без суеты и по делу, Умница!! Сил Вам и здоровья!!

I really like the work of Ishitani Furniture. Clean, elegant, light and soft. A minimalism that is not cold, which brings the feeling of warmth and comfort.

One of the better ways to spend 13 minutes of your day.

I am a woodworker but using my skills to restore and conserve antique furniture in the UK. You are a natural tradesman and it is a joy to watch you work. Well done you !

Beautiful cinematography Chie

I ALWAYS like before I watch cause I KNOW it’s good...

Beautiful work again. It never gets old watching you make these pieces of art. You’re an inspiration.

美しい家具と映像。いつ見ても良いですね。

Absolutely mesmerizing to watch you work as always.

Really nice work. The double wedged tenons and the base profiles look modern yet warm.

Elegant, beautiful, and masterful! Thank you for creating a moment of peace in our world.

I just wanted to thank you and your team for making these great videos. They are an absolute pleasure to watch. I honestly hope that you all are teaching this artistic knowledge and expertise with the younger generation. Everything about your videos exude serenity, and all of you have to be as beautiful as the furniture and videos you produce.

Chie thank you for telling the story of each piece so beautifully. Your art is a perfect complement to the art of the craftsman.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing. By the way, your TinTin doggie, Snowy is very cute.

always glad to see Shiro making an appearance

This may be my favorite piece that you've posted. Walnut is a rich and warm wood so the thick top with a square edge profile has a simple beauty and a commanding presence. The trestle style is inherently a bit rustic, but the sharp lines and tapers are quite modern in feel. The contrasting wedges in the cross-member's tenons are a perfect touch - subtlety decorative without being ornamental. I love everything about the design and execution of this piece. Thank you for sharing.

Such a simple form, yet elegant and beautiful!! Thanks so much for posting this video! 😁

The production and editing of the videos is as big a part of the enjoyment as the actual construction. Much respect and admiration to Chie

You are truly an artisan who is one with your work. Your wife captures every aspect so well as she follows you with the camera. Your work and your videos are both works of art.

Where carpentry , Artistry and meditation meets. Beautiful

In my dreams, my home would be fully Ishitani furnished. Your joinery always makes me smile. By the way, your saw horses are impressive. No wiggle at all.

Simply a work of art! Beautiful! Thank God it’s the weekend and this grandpa’s shop will be waiting in the morning !

Walnut is such a beautiful wood and the table is so simple yet so elegant. You've done it again Ishitani-san.

I always get a kick out of watching your builds man. Japanese carpentry is so much more exciting & peaceful. As my carpentry teacher told me the other day: Japanese carpentry has being way a head of the world for hundreds of years.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Been following for a couple years. This is my favourite build hands down. The skill with those kannas is unreal. Hats off to you.

The interlocking dovetail under the desktop is a class touch Everything you made is perfect. Very beautiful

Не перестаю восхищаться работой мастера.

Absolutely stunning work and such a beautiful table

Beautiful as always. My hope is people watch this and get inspired, to want to be meticulous and pay attention to the detail.That they get to absorb the work ethic & desire to bring precision to their work. The society we live in seems to celebrate mediocrity more and more and there is less and less desire to deliver quality product and service in any field. Thank you for sharing so generously. Always serene, calming and inspiring.

I'm always excited when I get a notification that you have a new video posted. Your work is very inspiring and relaxing to watch. Keep the great content coming.

It's always such a pleasure to watch you work and see the wonderful results - elegant and understated designs and subtle finishes. That walnut finishes so well. Thank you.

Shiro is the best quality inspector anyone could ask for! Thanks for the beautiful videos, love watching you work.
