Master Craftsman, Nathie Katzoff | HUMAN 

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.

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!

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!

man the dovetailed stringer that awesome man this guy is amazing

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.

This guy definitely has a God given talent, I would love to work with him on a project... one can dream

Inspirational. The world needs more people like you.

The staircase is beautiful.

I wish anyone liked me as much as the people interviewed in this video love Nathie Katzoff.

It would be nice to see some more of his work and techniques instead of all the bragging jeez..

We need more tade schools. I'm learning wood working and enjoy it

Indeed he is THE MASTER 👏

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

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.

I'm sure he does nice work but the folks being interviewed are laying it on thick with all the boasting about the guy.

Good to see very refreshing

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.

Ahhh, excuse me, did you just skip past the fact that he sleeps standing up?!

Excellent. Much success to you.

Epic and I appreciate there was zero mention of beer in the video because I hate some sponsored content!

absolute respect. Thats what I want to do, and I am two years younger than him :D

😍 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.

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.

oh yes , i like it . greez from good ol´germany .

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.

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.

Cool stuff as a carpenter I love my job

where is the magic? i didn't see it.

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.

“ I sleep standing up’... right...

"master craftsman" is in my opinion someone old, who has dedicated their whole life to a craft. not a 28 year old.

He looks like Mac Demarco

My best friend was a woodworker JESUS

May your life be as blessed as guys who buys a staircase that is a 6,000 hrs job.

From a seasoned 🇬🇧 carpenter, this is some matrix shit!!!!!!

wonder what this guy could do if he made guitars

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 ....

Whatever. Many people have same foresight.

Wood working is sort of a guy thing. We guys envy someone who can make beautiful wood work. Keep the good work up!

Soooooo he designs, sketches, walks in slow motion and other people do the actual work???

Notice me senpai

hmmmm yes

Pour ceux intéressés par la notion d'ARTISAN

👊👍

I guess the publisher titled this video simply "Master Craftsman" because "Master Wood Stairs Builder" would sound too boring.

😂 ego is one hell of a drug, eh? there are many talented carpenters who produce amazing works....

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'.

Lots of jealous people out there. Too many small minds.

how much for that bathtub?! I'm serious!

I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.

28 yr old master? At what? Lol

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

Not a lot of sex in his life... Not considering masturbation, of course.

Oy vey !!!

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.

just another rich kid

Please do something about your teeth..image is everything

Stall on the next tool buy. Fix your teeth....

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.
