It's like therapy watching you work. It relaxes the mind.

True sign of a master craftsman is that he makes it look simple. No music blaring in the background, no explanation of what's going on (none needed). Excellent vidiography. Love it!

Seeing a woodworker make things out of actual wood and not just epoxy is refreshing.

[pierrebeaupre]

I think to inspire is the biggest gift you can give someone. I know nothing about woodworking but I'm fascinated by it. Your dedication to your art is truly remarkable. Thank you!

Fascinating glimpse at Japanese tools and methods.That circular saw for the dovetails is ! The Hatagane clamps are lovely. Nice work.

Watching your videos is 12 minutes well spent. It is nice to see a craftsman actually use his hands while operating his power tools instead of strategically placed plastic “ products”. Thank you, and your little dog to.

There is something elegant and calming about your work and your videos. I particularly enjoy watching you blend new and traditional tools into your work. Thank you for the peace and inspiration.

Best Sunday morning therapy. Coffee, some smooth jazz and watching the master create furniture. Wish i had a machine park like this. Thank you for sharing

[nderimmehmedoski]

Fascinating work, real designer and high level woodworker 🙏

[mambobond]

Wonderful how the simplicity of the style combines with the technicalities of the execution to turn out to be an exceptional piece that can be placed into any setting.

I happen to love his type of Japanese furniture, almost to the point of obsession, but not quite. These videos are works of art in themselves. Ordered, composed, understandable, but mostly beautiful and calming. What an absolute joy to watch, soak up and relax to. Perhaps, more importantly, they're excellent learning tools. I have no woodworking machinery. Only a bench, rulers, a pencil, Japanese saws and chisels, Leigh-Nielsen planes and spokeshaves and a great desire to learn from Ishitani san. Thank you for making your videos. Greetings from Australia.

Even the word beautiful can't describe the beauty of this bench...it's a peace of harmony and balance. Just wow ishitani-dono.

[moonblink]

It's ridiculous how talented you are.

[susandoerr]

Thank you. I was talking about this beautiful Japanese way of joinery earlier today with a contractor. Told him how inspiring it is.

[giovanniparrinello]

[craighart]

Again, another beautiful piece of master-craft work and captured in another wonderful video. Sad to read about the removal of your other videos but thankful that I got to see all of them - the memory of what you have made and what I have learnt from watching you, and the inspiration will not be lost. ありがとうございました.

Your work is clean and sunny. Thanks you.
