I like that there is a demonstration of the sound quality as well.

@bridgedown1 7 лет назад

Excellent,watched this from start to finish without knowing what you were making,looks and sounds great...

@chrisallison6885 5 месяцев назад

I own 2 different size cajons and as a new woodworker with all the tools, I’d LOVE to make a beautiful piece like yours! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

@keithmckeith 7 лет назад

Outstanding work sir! I find your detailed and methodical approach to be both educational, entertaining and relaxing too.

@johnniewalker39 8 лет назад

I see Matthias Wandel's Screw advance box joint jig is getting very popular! Nice project, awesome result. Thank you for posting this.

@Elyasafshweka 8 лет назад

Thank you too.

@steventanner1428 4 года назад

Used a box joint jig made of aluminium just like that to make speaker boxes in the 70s.

@nrg_elijah5395 4 года назад

Wow at first i thought this was a speaker box build.. but then realised in the end was more of a thubla as we indians say.. watching your work and detail and keeping everything clean at all times was amazing. Beautiful work there.. really enjoyed that

@RicardoJunqueira 8 лет назад

I have mad respect for Matthias but he didn't invent the box jig or dial/mechanical indexing. Pretty sure he wouldn't even take credit for it.

@TheMikielopez 6 лет назад

Excellent craftsmanship. It turned out wonderfully! As a side not, I absolutely love the fact it was all business and no unnecessary commentary!

Walnut is such a beautiful wood. I can't believe it actually grows naturally and is that beautiful.

You do amazing work. And you have an awesome work space. Keep it up.

@LifeOnHoth 8 лет назад

Only a good furniture carpenter knows the importance of keeping the workspace clean at all times. Very good, and nice build!

@bgilchrist228 5 лет назад

It's almost as important as keeping your ass clean.

@amyramirez3941 8 лет назад

Wow! That's a lot of work and well worth it too. That is one beautiful cajon!

@ronaldrivera7081 7 лет назад

The cajon really is Peruvian friend, in Spain they made a modification with the strings sounds good but the real drawer is without strings. It is not critical friend, because you do a great job I am also woodworker. Greetings from Peru.

@MrVoayer 5 лет назад

I don't know if I am impressed more by your carpentry skills or by your playing !?! Well done !

@Wetkeazle 8 лет назад

Well done! Without any narration I could follow your line of thought right to the end. Sounds good too, for the sound quality, RU-vid can deliver right now. Liked.

Your project was beautiful. Watching you work was incredible, your skill is incredible, and your playing is so much fun to listen to. I've never heard of this instrument before, but I love its voice, and you bring it out wonderfully.

@hebierob 7 лет назад

Very nice build and sound! I am in Jerusalem every July. Be fun if I saw your work in person! Great skill you have.

@gaetanomusic 7 лет назад

The Cajón, with and without strings, was invented in Perú in the 1700's. In the 1950's the strings were added in Trujillo and Arequipa, although it was considered "cheating" by some of the greatest players (in the sense that it helps you get a sharp tone without applying as much strength).

@drumjunkie24 4 месяца назад

Beautiful cajon. Love your craftsmanship.

@zacharykanebronson2549 3 года назад

@RickyLee53 7 лет назад

Very nice. I didn't know what a "Cajon" was. until about 19 minutes, so it was a bonus at the end to get some music. Haha

@fxm5715 8 лет назад

I watched to the end, mostly to find out what a "cajon" is. "Hmm. Solid sides, thin plywood top and bottom. Ah, a hole. An instrument of some kind? Is it going to be the strangest guitar I've ever seen? Maybe some kind of zither? Hmm. Looks done and it's just a box with a hole in it. Wait, what are those C shaped blocks for? Metal Brushes?? like for a drum? Ah! Yes, a percussion instrument with built in brushes that you sit on! So that's what a "cajon" is!" Too cool, Elyasaf. Nice work, and I learned something along the way.

@Elyasafshweka 8 лет назад

Thank you!

@fjeinca 6 лет назад

Cajón is Spanish for case (like luggage). It’s said to have been taken to musical excellence by percussionists in Perú, and while the guy demoing this one is great, to hear it taken to music-contextual mastery, check out Alex Acuña.

@Masud8594 7 лет назад

Elyasaf ! Like you said your wife got bored in 10 secs, i also got bored but kept watching it patiently till I was going to shut my eyes due to sleep and suddenly woke up as at that point the test sound started. Wow man 2 thumbs up. Besides wood working, I am a musician too and play Flute, Piano, Violin and Tabla. We can make a good team as your skills at cajon are extra ordinary. GREAT job anyway.

@timberdish 8 лет назад

Beautiful work my friend! Really impressed!

@ArtisanTony 7 лет назад

I can only assume you know more about music theory than woodworking :) It's ok, just don't ever take your right hand off the piece again as it is going through the table saw :) I can sympathize with you because my son is a drummer and loves the cajon.

@GuillermoxD3 8 лет назад

Amigo que es lo que pones para los tornillos , Son como unos tarugos o unas tuercas incertas , pero como son ? Do friend that it is what put screws, are like a few dowels or some incertas nuts, but as they are?

@ericmendoza8808 5 лет назад

Asi es guillermo , son tarugos de metal, él las atornillo y enterro al ras con un martillo, luego saco el tornillo y siguió.

@kennyb4871 6 лет назад

Before I get too far into this...please, please, please, make or buy a push stick!!! Okay. Nevermind. There is a push stick. Just a little awkward at the beginning. I am VERY impressed how well the initial kerfs from the Tablesaw blended to the final cut of the Bandsaw. I'm also impressed by the home made splining jig...and the ingenious Glue Comb. All in all, very very nice work Eli.

@ADHDbuilt 8 лет назад

Good job. I'm going to recommend doing a bored test on your videos though. Get somebody who you trust, and ask them to watch it, and let you know when they are getting bored. Before that happens, skip, fast forward, or so something to change it up. Your watch time will go up because of it.

@Elyasafshweka 7 лет назад

I tried that test: I asked my wife to watch it. she lost intrest after 10 seconds...

@ADHDbuilt 7 лет назад

I do have the same problem. If you want another set of eyes before releasing, let me know :)
