Samurai, you got MAD joinery skills. You are a true artisan and an artist, I love seeing this.

The first time I watched Samurai I remember thinking to myself "Wow, this guy is cocky." The problem with this thought is the awesome work he does in almost every video. Thanks! keep it up.

I really don't understand the 91 people wrote unlike for this great job... I wish all this 91 people show if can do better the this... samurai you are very good carpenter, Tks for all expired....

curves of this stool are very harmonious. they are very pleasing to the eye. very fine art. awesome. simply awesome...

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite KZfaq channels.

I love your Japanese jointery techniques! So much fun to watch.

Absolutely cool. This is the real woodworking

damn, this is sick. Perfect compliment to the work bench. What's crazy is that when I'm watching these videos I'm not really seeing it as you're making it. I'm imagining it in 100 years, full of scars, but still rock solid. Who will be sitting on it and what they may be creating themselves. What's beautiful about it is knowing that in 100 years they can go back and watch this video. Witnessing it's birth and it's maker, long gone, creating it. What a f-ing time we live in. As always, I look forward to seeing more.

Very nice. I know these types of videos take a lot of work but it sets you apart. Loved it!

you're an artist!!!!!!!

That is a gorgeous stool, very nicely combined lighter and darker woods, curves, wedges, great design... Just beautiful "chapó".

as a beginner woodworker, wow... such beauty

awesome dude. that sliding dovetail on the seat sealed the deal.

This is one beautiful piece of art my friend.

Never seen people place wedges in the tenon, only seen it in older work. I do like. Its good to see

a gorgeous piece. i probably could not get away with the sliding dovetail seat securing in the midwest humidity we have here.

I dont have words. I like it!

"Shop Stool"?! Looks more like a leaving room art piece to me! :)

Gotta say, I don’t normally like this sort of un-narrated video; however, this is very well done. Love the music. My only regret is I would like to have seen a slower version of the carving of the seat.

Next level workmanship! THIS piece of art is certainly not for a shop! will try to reproduce it in my shop!

awesome, pls more videos like this

Tablesaw sled, you can thank me when you retire with all your fingers intact :P Beautiful work as always though!

I would have turned the seat 90 degrees, but other that that: I hope your children will appreciate all the Heirloom-quality things that you leave them with! I hope you brand your creations, they will be collector items in the future.

I can't help but just sit with my mouth open continuously awing at this. That is quite possible one of the most attractive pieces of furniture I've ever seen.

I was using wood prix instructions to make it and I did it already :)

Amazing stuff! Although, not sure that a hollow chisel mortiser is a simple, basic tool. Hah!

That’s F-ing mind blowing cool. Especially the dovetail joinery for attaching the top!

That is a mad crazy stool. I built one last year for my workshop out of square stock and it still had 4 wobbly legs and a loose seat lol

exceptionally nice work mate. you make me nervous on the table saw cutting tenons though!

I really have no way to express my love for the art of carpentry, and you my friend does it with such beauty that only me gives even more desire to have do things as beautiful as those you present. Thank you.

You're not just a samurai because of your toolbox, but mostly because of your spirit of perfectionism.

Amazing work! I'm just curious how many hours into that stool?

Only thing I missed was the dancing ;-)

You sir are a true craftsman and it was a pleasure to watch

Very clear and easy to follow DIY instructions. Thank you

now really ,cut the crap ... this stool is for your living room right?

ridiculously superb and inspirational. Kudos to you my friend from the land down under.

Your work is always great, really clean and accurate, but for me it’s your imagination for design, simultaneously hugely inspiring and humbling.

Been watching your videos for a while now. Been off work for a year recouperating from my forth spinal fusion and all I do is watch videos. I love your watching you build projects you are awesome!! From Nova Scotia! I can’t wait to get in my shop again! I have not done dovetail or worked much with hand?tools always used power tools well watching videos like yours has inspired me to try thank you!!

Beautiful piece of furniture. Considering that you built it without using any nails makes it even more special. Well done.

I note your appreciation for the details. Fantastic.

One of the most amazing pieces i ever saw. I love the design! Like a fairytale

I loved this one. The music was great and watching the work was awesome.

Wow! Everything you do blows my mind. Your craftsmanship is a cut way above anyone else's.

Beautiful stool. You have a real gift for design. On the other hand, some of those tenon cuts on your table saw without a sled or tenoning jig gave me the willies!

WOW, I have never seen anything like it. That is one heck of a stool. What a creative work of art.

Dude, you are a Master of your craft.

You ARE an ARTIST Jessie and with Dutch ancestry you should be called Jessie Van Gogh! Such a nice taste and design intuition! AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!

Man. You give life to wood after the tree has fallen. Thanks for sharing.

Это просто невероятно! Такого уровня мастерства я не видел ещё на KZfaq.

Now here’s an interesting strategy I hadn’t thought of. As friend I chatted with recommended I google Hyezmar’s book. I did and found many plans, but none like this, thanks!

The "hold fast" devices do a great job. Years ago we used them (larger scale of course) in a metal-working shipfitter shop, and they were referred to as "dogs", as in "dogging-down" the work.

It is one thing to do the work, another to present it as beautifully as the piece, great stuff.

Very nice work. Attention to details, true craftsman. Congrats.

Awesome SAMURAI STOOL... Really beautiful work...

This was a great video, it brought me back to the days when you made things like that sink out of that big river rock. Pure craftsmanship through and through. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful. I have absolutely no need for a stool. But, you make me want to make at least a pair of them now.

True craftsmanship...gorgeous stool bro.

beautiful, and inspiring craftsmanship.

this dude is immensely talented!

Those sliding dovetails just completely blew my mind.

You are extremely talented my friend and make joinery look easy.

There were quite a few comments about table saw safety.....The #1 of all time has got to be Saw Stop. I've seen it demonstrated and though I do not want a table saw in my shop, that would be the only sort I would consider. A table saw has plenty of hazards even with the 'cutting off your fingers' eliminated. Like handguns, I know how to use both...don't want either in my life. -Veteran '66-68

That is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen. Wonderful work.

your joinery work is absolutely beautiful. its been many years since ive sen anyone build something with no screws or nails. just fantastic!

Dude you are a craftsman. This stool is am amazing wood working projects. You amaze me ever time I see your cabinetry pure genius. PS I have seen the other video with you dancing (dont give up your day job ) rof lol Thank you for the smile on my face

Damn man, there was some phenomenal workmanship in these stools. You are living the dream, a superb craftsman and I enjoy all your videos. Respect.

Your woodworking projects turn to be unique every single time, I really enjoy them.

Man. The stool is gorgeous and the video beautiful. The music and the editing were just on point. Great job man. Very inspiring stuff.

Fabulous design and beautiful workmanship, but truly horrifying use of the table saw - I actually winced when I saw how close your fingers got to the blade!

Work of art! Beautiful! Watching you is mesmerizing!

... !!! ... !!! ... !!! можно смотреть бесконечно ... !

It would be nice to see again videos if things you do to your customers! the staircase video is great!

nice to see someone who takes so much pride in the work they do. awesome video.

Gorgeous stool and a pleasure to watch it come to together into a piece of art.

Love it very much. Lower stretchers being flat, not eased to the curve of the legs, does make me a bit crazy.

That's the most ridiculously beautiful stool I've ever seen! You totally rock!!

Sublime design and craftsmanship. Hats off to you.

finally a woodshop on KZfaq that's as dusty as mine. I love you work bud.

Beautiful piece! Your condensed presentation of joinery processes is very clear. And IMO, this method of highlighting tools you recommend is far more useful and convincing than any straight-up review video could ever be... Hope you keep it up. Thanks.

4yrs later and it’s still inspiring! ✌️

every time I admire more your work is fantastic greetings from mexico ..

that "literally" is awesome!!!

You really are the master of youtube woodworking!!! you don't see much of this accuracy!

So satisfying to watch. Brilliant work brother!

I think that you should upload more videos like this, only if you have the time ,i have never seen such skills like yours, thanks to you I have perceivierd and seen through my first year of college and have landed a carpenters job , thanks for taking the time to upload these inspirational videos , Well done on all your success and truly thank you.

gradual intro to new tools, my best take-aways from Norm and The Old Yankee Workshop

Never gets old Jesse! Love this display of craftsmanship!

Dude! The force is strong with you. :) This stool is possibly the best build I've ever seen.

True piece of art.

WOW that's a beautiful stool, nice job

Beautiful work - lovely to see curvy rather than straight lines on a stool 👍👍😁

That is not just a shop stool, that is a pice of art ! Awesome !!

Love to see your love and attention that you put in your work!

What surprises me is the age of the craftsman, normally you would expect someone in their 50s with this level of skill.

Sir i tip my hat to you, this is more than just wood working it master craftsmanship at its finest

Really like the look of the shop stool. Puts my shop stool to shame. enjoyed the video

It's such a pleasure to watch you work. Thank you.

I could watch you work all day! Great vid, thanks.
