You have a refreshing attitude about you. Thank you for posting.

Made me feel easier for approaching woodworking. Too easy to get lost in making everything 100% perfect

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!

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'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!

I love that you keep it simple. I've often thought of starting a channel called 10 Tool Tim to show people that you don't need to buy everything before you can make something.

because of that simplicity. make me happy. I appreciate this ...

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 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.

A lovely box with some creative joinery, love it!

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.

Great project!! Love the dovetail top idea.

Great project! I really like the idea of woodworking with simple but effective tools and the freedom to 'think outside the box' :)

Really happy I watched that ☺️

Looks great mate, keeping it simple and stylish. Great looking nomi box.

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

This was an incredibly helpful and informative video! Well done!

Nice simple box, got to love the kiss method.

Beautiful box!

Interesting box! Thank you.

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.

This was amazing and thank you!

great box..

i always learn something - thanks

I have a catalpa tree at least 2.5 feet in diameter, I can only imagine how many boxes it would make.

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

A friend from Japan makes some of the world’s finest acoustic guitars with pawlonia. His name is Tony Yamamoto. Which makes it a hard wood. So your second choice is probably correct.

Perfect!! This has inspired me.

Lovely little box

Impeccable!!! 👍

You are the rock n rolled wood worker i ever seen on youtube hahaha.. if Paul Seller see this im sure he will entertained a lot lol.. 😄

Well, this is my weekend project. Thanks man =)

Nice, on my list.........thank you.

とても素晴らしい😀

It looks and sounds like you're making it out of wood-colored styrofoam. lol

Very entertaining funny and informative. Thanks... liked and subscribed. 😊

Very nice 👍

very nice, wished i had the patience to make boxes like that 😁.

Parabéns por todos os trabalhos mostrados, mais um Like .

Looks great. Bare footed carpentry!

Muito bom, very good

Nice

I like this guy... not very perfect but it's more realistic

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

Great enthusiasm and demonstration of accurate carpentry skills. Thanks. It's pronounced Re-yo-bi nor Rai-yo-bi

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?

I don't think I have ever seen wood so soft before. You could probably look at it wrong and it would break.

Nice. Looks like you got a place with more room?

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.

LOoks like siberian elm I bought from NW MO. but its harder than catalpa

Nice box 😁👍🏼

I know it as kiri... a friend had some threes in his ranch. not very common here in Brasil.

nice video! it would be fun if you wrote down what the tools you used in this video are called

Yes.. only a 3 mm gap! 😮

Hi there, how much this set of tools cost nowadays? Where did you purchased those ones from? I would also like to know that all of those tools you are using in this video at the time o purchase were sharp and ready to use? Many thanks for the answers and help! Have a harmonious day!

Hello, are the Japanese noodle storage boxes the same design?

Well now I have a clue!

Nice Final Fantasy font

Sharpen your frigging pencil..............!

"Not really going for traditional here".. Great video editing, tags and everything else to get these views. Crazy numbers on this box

Hi, what sizes of chisels are you using in this video?

GREAT. BEAUTIFUL BOX. FROM BRAZIL MY FRIEND.

how do you spell that at 1:21? Kabeki?

cood to see the bare feet can hold stuff with toes

Where did you learn Japanese woodworking techniques?

I think japanese woodworking is about perfection not about simplicity.

So rough even for a chisel box needs tidy up

Veru nice sloppy.

I was gonna leave a comment but i won't.

Where do you live? Looks and sounds like you’re close to me!

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).

The tite says beginning. I didnt know that it meant that you were the beginner.

Dude are you sitting on the floor? How about the next project is to build a proper work bench? Good project thanks for posting.

The guy is no carpenter . He might have all the tools but hes all over the place.

Bonne continuation... (du massacre......) troll

For Japanese woodworking you talk a lot😂

you talk too much....but good job....

japanese are crying right now!!

Sorry but this is terrible craftsmanship...

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
