Wood Troubles Me. A Splendid Floor Table made of 200-year-old Kiso Cypress is Built[Carpenter’s DIY]

It’s been a while since I did DIY.
When I went to the lumberyard, I found interesting wood, so I built a floor table out of it.
I have seldom used Kiso cypress before, and I found that it is a totally different quality than ordinary Japanese cypress. The growth rings are delicately beautiful. It’s valuable wood.

Hello, Tom here. I am a computer engineer that retired after 43 years, 8 months, and 14 days working for the same company. I think this is my favorite episode since I started watching your channel. Without question, my favorite part was watching you laugh! You have a very expressive face so sometimes I think I know how you are feeling even without your words. 😄 I think one of the most important indicators of the exceptional craftsman is the way he cares for his tools. I always get a huge smile on my face when I watch you caring for and sharpening your chisels! The obvious care taken when putting them away until the next time they are needed. I have been accused of being a number of things, but a carpenter was never one of them. Thank you for both educating and entertaining me! I understand that bowing in Japan can be used to signify emotions, including appreciation, respect, and gratitude. Please accept a virtual bow from me...

I tried to make this point on his last “DIY” project. I wonder if it’s a translation issue? He is literally doing it himself but maybe they don’t get that DIY means amateurs. (And I have zero Japanese … this is not a slight on their very good English skills.) Love the channel. I especially dig the way he goes for light and fast over big and strong in tools and clothes.

To be exact, Do It Yourself (DIY) is taking on a job you are not trained to do. I think he means it is Do It For Himself.

I like how the knots are considered a good thing of the wood because their uniqueness. Usually in Italy people consider knots a defect of the wood, I like them because they make a slab of wood unique and are decorative.

Exceptionally beautiful wood, beautiful slab. I would never have thought that cypress could have such intense colors of knots in opposition to the delicate shade of the trunk. I write to my memory "Kiso cypress", but without much hope that it will be possible bought in my country. I was very surprised when you mentioned imperfections in the video. In my opinion, the table is made in such a way that even the greatest master would have no reason to be ashamed.

@johnsrabe Жыл бұрын

Two great tips implicit in this video: - A handsaw (especially a Japanese pull saw) is often faster than a power tool. - A sheet of rigid foam is invaluable as a platfork for the Skilsaw. It provides perfect support, withstands a bunch of cuts before it’s no good, and is super light.

@alexcrouse Жыл бұрын

And that foam won't scratch your wood!

@fredericdudley6184 Жыл бұрын

I saw that in a short and the carpenter had been using the sheet he had for 3 years. If you keep your cuts shallow, you can flip it over and use the other side.

Wow. When I say DIY it's an excuse for error, but this is truly a master piece.

@Zeetwig Жыл бұрын

I love all the precision work with filling in the chip at the edge! I build guitars as a hobby, and whenever something goes wrong (the wood chips or cracks unexpectedly for instance) the repairwork is almost more enjoyable than the actual build, as you get to challenge yourself with how to hide the imperfection as neatly as possible. I am truly amazed by your skills and the gorgeous wood you work with!

To help your wood from sliding with wet glue add just a pinch of table salt to a few areas, then when wet glued wood is put together salt will bite into grain stopping the slide

I am currently studying the art of cabinetmakery and joinery to one day become a true craftman myself, and every time I watch your videos, I get the instant hurry in my guts to go and create something out of wood.
