What is lost on the casual you tube observer is the fact that this man earns his living by his craft. No one but his paying customer has any right to criticize his work. It is very generous of he, his wife and his dog to share these views into their life. It is a joy to watch videos without product placement and shelves full of cheap plastic crap. I look forward to your next post.

Watching ISHITANI is like meditating. It reminds me to slow down in my own shop.

I love your simple, elegant designs and flawless execution. There is a lot of artistry in all of your work, including the videos themselves. Reminds me to slow down, stay in the moment and focus on the quality of my actions, rather than the destination.

There are many furniture makers who can make well but design poorly or design well and make poorly. You are one of the few who can make well and design well, it's a rare attribute.

I love these short videos. They are small works of art: beautifully shot and edited, no talking, no narration of any kind. Just witnessing the calm mastery of wood craft. Congratulations to the lady who makes the videos. And thank you.

Watching these Ishitani woodworking videos helps me de-stress and pick me up when I am feeling a bit blue. So relaxing and enjoyable to see. More of these Please. 😊

Another 13 minutes gone that felt like only 2! What a build! What a channel! So much respect for the trio who make this channel! Thanks from Australia!

I always smile when I see you finishing the minute chamfers with a chisel. Details, details. Love your work.

The work is impeccable and clearly built to be handed down through generations. The video creation is wonderfully peaceful. Thank you so much. I enjoy all of your videos.

Every once in a while, I watch your work while drinking tea, makes me so relaxed and happy especially at 3:30 to 4:30 pm, someday, I hope to meet you Ishitani. You are an absolute treasure.

I'm amazed at every video that the two of you do. Nice to see the boss inspecting your work ( 1:30 ).

Thankyou Natsuki, My wife and I both very much enjoy your videos. As a woodworker I appreciate seeing your technique and skill, my wife enjoys the presentation and quality of the video, so thank you Chie. We also have canine members in our family and thus also enjoy seeing the outdoors and surrounds, so thank you both and young Shiro to. Good wishes

You are by far my favorite. You make the most ridiculously gorgeous work. I tell everyone about you and this channel.

Ishitani Furniture and it's incredibly talented Associates are surely one of modern Japanese national treasures!

Your woodworking videos are my favorite on youtube! Thanks for taking all the time to make videos.

The editing is excellent. It's nice to see the essential parts of the work interspersed with the environment around the shop.

Amazing. By far my favorite furniture maker and videographer on KZfaq. Your content is incredible. Thanks!

Your videos are rapidly becoming my favorite to watch! Thanks for the hard work!

I really enjoy watching you work. You teach many lessons without saying a word. Thank you!

Years from now there will be an Ishitani revival. So beautiful, so well crafted.

Another beautiful piece of furniture and enjoyable video! Look forward to every one!

1:28: Shiro inspecting the glue joints *very* carefully. He takes his job seriously!

I love your furniture with the little designs, which give it his own character

That is a stunning desk, well designed and very well made. Always a pleasure to watch you work, and your videos are a joy to watch. Great stuff!

A beautiful video, Chie. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing these videos! I enjoy watching a true craftsman manufacture some fantastic pieces. Best wishes to you and your family from North Carolina, U.S.A.

Wow. Your best video yet. Love the journal of every little trick you had to do. And what a design. Great stuff.

Each piece is clean and uncluttered yet has a presence of occupying a space. A master at his craft.

This video spoke volumes and not 1 word was said... Amazing work.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! Magnetic strip is nice touch. Your attention to detail is amazing. Thanks for the vids.

Again, I am humbled by your skill and mastery of your craft. Very well executed.

I love watching these videos. Fascinating. I watch for hours and often fall asleep.

13 minutes of pure relax. Your videos are just like meditation. Thanks man for sharing.

LOVE the magnetic bar! You are making me want to pick up carpentry and woodworking!

Amazing craftsmanship, presented through an amazing video. Kudos to the editor (I presume it's Chie)! The outside shot with Shiro's footprints in the snow was pure poetry. Your work and the videos make a splendid combination that goes beyond furniture-making: they leave an essence of a beautiful approach to life. I came here by accident, now I'm hooked.

Maestroooo!! infinitas gracias por mostrarnos tus técnicas. Abrazo del lado izquierdo!

Love your woodworking videos, awesome can't wait to see your next project.

I love watching your production, it is very therapeutic! Thank you!

Love this channel so much.

thank you ishitani, you really inspired me!!! sending loves from malaysia!

teacher is very pleased to see how it works, thank you very much. Greetings from Oaxaca, United Mexican States

Beautiful design ! Great work, again!

I love that old and in the sametime modern lookin stuff that you are make!!! 😍

Your product honors the many years that a tree invests in growing, and then turning into lumber used for a piece of art. Your work is timeless and will be popular until the day trees decide it is not worth growing because we have failed them in making beautiful things. Keep up the good work, and stick close to your Japanese woodworking heritage.

Thank you for sharing your work with us. Outstanding in every way.

Simple is the best. The design seems simple, but all the works need precise measurement and exquisite craftsmanship. And the magnet thing is pretty clever! I will love to buy your furniture if I were in Japan...

I really enjoy your work thanks for cheering. From MEXICO Saludos

非常に美しい。共有していただきありがとうございます。

It's always a pleasure watching your videos.

Just when I thought it couldnt get any better. You have become the one channel i'll sneak out my office to go watch when you post a new video. So peacfull in how you command the earth beneath your hands my friend. I wish one day i could aspire to live a day in your studio. Excellent work is 2nd best to what you do when wood lends itself to your eye. Happy new year from the great state of Oregon.

Given all the turmoil in the world, watching these videos brings peace, calmness and assures one. As always attention to detail, beautiful craftsmanship and a desire to keep it interesting and engaging without pushing any agenda. Beautiful. I am grateful and thankful for the team to continue to share these works. Many have said it over and over again. Maybe more people will watch and find contentment in wanting quality of quantity in life..

So elegant and inspiring work Mr. Ishitani! Thanks for sharing your talent and good taste, and for showing that beautiful design doesn't mean baroque or futuristic ugly and useless stuff like some comments people aren't ashamed to post. Best regards and the happiest new year for you and your family! 🙂

An other great video, an other great piece. Love all the details as usual! For my magnetic strips(mainly knife holders, I sue rare earth magnet that I place carefully so there is no zoning and it works great and you can have a really thin holder. Again thank you for a great video and great woodworking, have a great year of 2018 filled with joy, love and health!!

Excellent work!

Incredible work!

So beautiful in its simplicity. You are a true craftsman.

Amazing as always

Simply beautiful. Thank you

Absolutely elegant and stout at the same time.

Beautiful to watch. Was just modestly surprised to pocket screws being used. Always reminds me of clumsy american woodworking.

Really cool as always!

Once again, masterful workmanship & well crafted video. All the best for 2018

Great work as always.

What a wonderful work !

This guy slowly starts to become a true legend!

Beautiful work.
