You and Ishitani are definitively the best woodworkers offering videos on youtube. Your woodworking practice is amazing, the furnitures you make are so carefully designed and your videos are perfectly edited. It is always a pleasure to watch them. I also need to make a walnut table (80 cm x 80 cm, 50 cm height) and you gave me an idea where to start from. Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland.

No way a table so beautiful you covered it with wood...all the beauty is hidden. I would love to see glass on that frame!

A great design study on how to take dead-square stock and make a really elegant finished result. Another beautiful creation.

Beautiful but wow, all that joinery to then cover up 80% of it...maybe some type of glass top?

[ribosomeone]

Theres something extremely satisfying in seeing those pieces fit and come together

What’s the real star of the show? The table, joinery, the workshop, workbench, the artist, the tools (love the t square ruler and brand), the view??! So much to love in this video!

This is beautiful. Much to learn here. There are many-many choices, that are made in the structure and the measurements.
Just by making a 3D-model (in eg. Blender) of the table for a study will teach you this. So much precision.
Also super nicely filmed.

But most of all: it is always a great joy to watch a master performing his art. Mastery represents many generations of experience and mastery. Although modern power tools are useful, the Kobeomsuk Master clearly shows, that everything is possible with a measure, a pencil, a hand saw, a chissel, a drill, a planer and some glue. All of which are thousands of years old. The clamps may not be that old, but it can be done by tightening a rope with a stick.
Simlicity is beauty.

Thank you for the lesson and the joy!

Man, I always laugh at the end when I see him SNEAK up on the finished piece like it’s a flighty animal and he doesn’t want it to run away 😂

Beautiful table!!!

This table is a work of art. It shows the beauty of Japanese joinery and craftsmanship. It is a pleasure to just look at its beauty!

[cherrieluu]

kind of wish you could have put glass on the top so people could the craftsmanship of the actual table!! still a great table!

*Beautiful table !*
Wooden objects like this table can bring the good emotion to the house.

[JoziGB]

Can't I just come carry your tools and help you carry wood around. This is just pure art!

[stevenmcintyre]

Beautiful craftsmanship! For those questioning the use of screws to attach the top, I believe it serves two purposes. First, if done right it allows for seasonal expansion of the table top wood. And second, it makes disassembly so much easier when the table will inevitably need to be moved (fitting through doorframes, reduce weight of table, etc.). It's a very common practice among fine furniture table makers.

Excellent work. I love the joinery and clean lines.
I always look forward to your videos. Makes my day.

Fantastic. Would love to see 2 interesting glass tops that expose the joinery below.

[KillberZomLD]

Oh man, walnut woods, my favorite type of wood of all the woods. Walnut is for me the goddess of woods.

[spaceiabox]

Beautiful work. It was a pleasure to watch you work.

Such talented craftsmanship. Though I think I'd prefer a glass tabletop so the beauty of the joinery could be admired
