Since we're two youtubers and makers, we couldn't just hang out and not build something so Bart decided that we would make a unique dovetailed box for him to store his various hard drives. What we came up with was a special Japanese inspired design that features hand cut angled dovetails, unique reliefs, LED lighting, and integrated electronics. And I almost ruined it all.

The Minguren 1, a pedestal style table, was a design I came across in George Nakashima’s book "The Soul of a Tree." I affectionately call this table The Carpenter's Table, a play on the saying, "The cobbler's kids have no shoes." It's complex and intricate, yet still visually humble. There's so much under the surface of this build that tested every ounce of skill and personal grit within me.
This live edge table build features Norfolk Island Pine for the live edge table top, with live edges being a staple of traditional George Nakashima furniture. The table base is constructed of mahogany, a significantly darker shade to provide a bit of a contrast.
While not a true reproduction of a Nakashima dining table, this live edge wood dining table draws strong inspiration from the Minguren series and hopes to deliver you some non-traditional live edge table base ideas, better than the often overdone farmhouse trestle base.

A true work of art.Cow Dog Craft Works2024-12-08 | #japanesewoodworking #japanesewoodworkingtechnique #woodworkingtools A kanna dai, Japanese hand plane body, made entirely from brass! I had the opportunity to attend this year's Kezuroukai event in Hadano, Kanagawa, Japan. On one bench I happened upon a few folks that were playing around with a solid brass kanna and a solid aluminum kanna. It's amazing to use, but not particularly practical. The weight makes it so ANYONE can take an excellent shaving. Extremely fun and hope to compete here in the future.What Happened To My Custom Built Console Table?Cow Dog Craft Works2024-08-31 | #consoletable #waterfall #customfurniture The heat is ON this summer as I build a custom live edge table from a single slab of locally harvested cypress. In an effort to bring a bit of my vision and Japanese inspired style to my friend's home outside of Des Moines, Iowa, I was commissioned to build this table for the entryway of their home. The finish is a charred finished brushed to perfection with uzukuri to create a piece with unique character and a flawless tactile feel. Everything was perfect, until it wasn't.

I was hooked. As I felt the surface it left, glassy and shimmering in the light, I knew that my life was changed and that these planes were going to change the way I do woodwork for the rest of my life. It's meant that I've traveled the country, watching others who use them adeptly, in an attempt to absorb some of their knowledge and tricks. I've taken classes, read books, and I've failed a lot, all in the pursuit of trying to find an effective, repeatable, and usable method of setting up a Japanese hand plane (鉋 Kanna). There's a lot of mystery about Japanese hand planes that I hear often: that they don't work well in American domestic hardwoods, that they're just too fussy to use, and that they're antiquated and outdated. While these planes can be challenging, once setup, the juice is clearly worth the squeeze. I hope you as the viewer, use this video as a reference to be able to help guide you in your Japanese plane and Japanese hand tool journey.

But with recent developments in our family underway, the urgency of pumping out some of these builds has been increasing. My wife has wanted a new queen bed for our bedroom to free up some clogged space and with a small 1950's house, three dogs, and a baby on the way, it was time to pull the trigger on something. The problem? The bed my wife liked the most was from Wayfair.com for $10,000 and with the world and our finances the way they are, that just wasn't going to happen. So I got to work in the shop with my tools in tow to make her dream bed for a fraction of the retail price. Or did I? Watch to find out more.

NO PROBLEM... For years, I've had a 3 hp cabinet saw with a huge fence and wing. It's been a good run but it's time for it to go.

Enter, the bandsaw. Shout out to @MichaelAlm for taking my phone calls about how to slap this thing together and @bentswoodworking for making a real step by step video on assembly so I didn't have to.

Fresh from the metate, a professional sharpening and tensioning process, this saw is set up for hardwoods and as I'm out a table saw presently with a bandsaw on the way, I thought this would make for a fun activity for the weekend. Kobiki-shokunin were known to be larger in stature than most Japanese craftsmen due to the kind of work they had to do and using this saw definitely solidifies that for me. In Odate's book, he mentions a saying roughly translated to, "The kobiki eats almost two liters of rice at one meal." In other words, the hard, rough labor of the kobiki build up a ravenous appetite." I don't think I'm going to make a habit of sawing this way, but it sure was a test of grit and skill and I'm psyched I pulled it off.

I've been accumulating them faster than I can store them appropriately and my shop has turned into a death trap of sorts for my prized possessions. In this video, I'm making a simple plane and saw till to house all my saws and a number of my Japanese hand planes. This fairly simple build highlights a sliding dovetail shelf and a live edge French cleat. A fairly basic woodworking project that can make your shop storage attractive.

While I'm building the traditional Japanese saw horses from Toshio Odate's book on Japanese Tools with my own personal twist (Japanese Woodworking Tools: Their Tradition, Spirit and Use: amzn.to/3f2eSuH), I'm not necessarily walking you through the build. There's a book on that. Instead, I'm talking about the how and why of woodworking for me. The therapeutic aspects behind it that I love and my desires to share it with the world. Furthermore, I dive into the cultural importance of this way of woodworking and why we should preserve it. Hope you enjoy my rant.

Installed in 30 minutes. | #shortsCow Dog Craft Works2022-12-04 | #japanese #bathroomdesign #shorts A small snippet on how I inlaid this kumiko panel into the apron of a bathroom vanity I recently finished. This panel itself took me an inappropriate amount of time to make. I contemplated a ton of different ways to install it, including making a ton of tiny mortises to perfectly set the panel in with no lateral room for error. Instead, I opted for a rabbet as the vanity itself is in a nook and there's no access to the back. It worked!

This year, while doing a commission for a custom bathroom vanity, I managed to get caught with not one but two hurricanes. While both were near misses, they presented some challenges. However, no challenge was as great as the monster kumiko panel that I used as an apron for this open concept vanity. At approximately three hundred individual pieces, it proved to be the most patience testing and frustrating aspect of this build that was inspired by shoji and Japanese timber framing.

As Japanese blades are laminated, striking the soft steel will ultimately push the harder steel downward to allow it to expose either more cutting edge or help with flatness. This ultimately permits efficiency in sharpening.

This is my first time with professional instruction on the matter and I was able to to transfer those skills to some of my planes here at home. I've now got a rough plane, a mid-plane, and a final smoother extra dialed in with exceptional fit and finely tuned bottoms. However, one of the biggest things is how to properly set up the chip breaker which I’ll go over in a future video. After years of struggling with it, Andrew showed me the fastest hack for set up. The results speak for themselves.

This bench is crafted from a pre-glued pine panel, available at any hardware store, and utilizes basic mortise and tenon joinery to create an extremely sturdy and simple bench that can be built from any species, colored any which way, to fit your space. In an effort to work with what we had, most of the joinery was cut with a router and finished by hand, using basic, and at times even damaged hand tools. This is an incredibly basic and easy project for those wishing to break into the realm of joinery and proper woodworking.

In keeping up with the tradition of Japanese carpenters and woodworkers making and customizing their own tools, I've opted to make my own saw handle and found that it was done with a great deal of ease. Done in about an hour or two with glue drying time included, you can take a simple dry softwood and make a wonderful handle that is semi-permanent and comfortable in your hand. This is an incredible DIY project for those interested in getting into Japanese hand tools and for those who haven't tried non-disposable pull saws of this type and kind, the performance is a true revelation.

It includes dog holes for securing work with holdfasts or bench dogs, and a bird’s mouth on one side for rips or crosscuts. As the bench can be sat on, the ever effective “butt clamp” can hold pieces while sawing, chiseling, or planing as well. This work horse is loosely adapted from Christopher Schwarz's saw bench and is designed to pack a lot of options into a small space. I use this saw bench in conjunction with my timber frame saw horses as well.
The Katz-Moses Woodworkers with Disabilities Fund (KMWDF) is a non-profit that proudly supports woodworkers who have physical and mental disabilities by providing the resources they need to grow their hobby, craft or business. All too often, our fellow craftsmen and women with disabilities have a hard time obtaining the resources they need to pursue their passion and reap the rewards woodworking has to offer.
Today we aim to make a huge positive impact in the maker with disabilities community by announcing our *Build Up Initiative*
Here’s the basics: Follow the links below for more information. We are raising money for electric hoists and work holding tools to supplement the program below. We have created a semi-autonomous, first of it kind application system that pairs those who need help with those who can provide it. In addition we have created 3 step by step sets of plans that you can build for yourself or donate to the charity. All the proceeds from the plans go to the charity and the money we are raising to help buy electric hoists, work holding tools and fund general help for those that need it will be put to immediate use. If you don’t want to donate monetarily or by building something but want to get involved, we have created a tab within the same application system above to let you apply to be a helper. This means you can donate your time to people in your area who may need help with basic tasks like unloading a truck, assembling a newly donated tool, flipping over a table top etc.

This tree came down during hurricane Irma in 2017 at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida, where a lightning strike from a tornado in a passing feeder band felled it. Then, after my sawyer friend slabbed it up, I lucked into one of the last pieces he had left to create this table. This table utilizes a ship miter to join the leg to the table top, also known as tomekata sanmai hozo in Japanese. I also utilized kine kata, bow tie splines, to stitch together the pieces that form the legs which had a natural crack running through them. The unique method of joining the legs to the top and the cantilevered design make the perfect piece to back a sofa or couch or as an entry way table or hall table.

I've operated with minimal space for a number of years and as I've grown into more of a woodworker, I've also found that my tools end up all over the place. Enter Wall Control Metal Pegboard, a revolutionary spin on tool organization for any garage. Standard pegboard as found at your hardware store for the most part is garbage. The accessory hangers are constantly falling off and that soft ply board lasts about as long as a fart in the wind. Wall Control's proprietary Metal Pegboard is leveled up garage storage solutions. Truth be told, I've actually been using Wall Control for a number of years, but as I've also noticed, one of the biggest drawbacks of my original purchase of Wall Control Metal Pegboard is that I required much more Wall Control Metal Pegboard than I realized. Therefore, when I finally had the opportunity expand my setup, I jumped at the opportunity to outfit one full wall of my shop with Wall Control Metal Pegboard. This Pegboard design is extremely strong and with a variety of accessories and options it can fit any shop. It's not just for woodworkers either. Whatever your hobby or passion is, you can find a Wall Control setup for you. Additionally, as the walls of my shop are concrete block, I teamed up with PowerPro Hardware and utilized their new concrete anchors to ensure that I had the strongest connection possible. Long gone are the ugly backdrops for my YouTube videos thanks to Wall Control and PowerPro Hardware.

As my skill level has developed and my work is changing, I've grown extremely fond of hand crafted artisan steel made by masters. One of the unique things with Japanese tools is that they arrive at your door mostly finished, but with the final pieces needing to be completed by the user. Japanese plane bodies, even those made by the daiya themselves must be fine tuned by the user upon receipt. In this case, a 375 gram hammer head comes without a handle. I've been watching @ThirdCoastCraftsman for a fairly long time and I remember him making a curly teak handle for a genno a couple years back. Genno hammers are some of the most artfully crafted and best Japanese hand tools that are affordable and readily available. Since 2022 is the year of the tiger, my Chinese zodiac sign, I thought it would be fitting to not only treat myself to a special tool with a tiger engraving, but also do a video on making a handle for a Japanese hammer. Unlike traditional Japanese hand tools, this handle is made with jatoba, also known as Brazilian cherry. The handle is friction fixed with a brass wedge, and it is sculpted almost entirely by hand. Happy lunar new year! Best of luck to all of you in 2022 and thanks for watching.

As someone who is anticipating being on site and traveling with my tools a fair bit, I felt as though it was time for a proper home for my more prized hand tools. Enter, the traditional japanese tool chest. Inspired by The Anarchist's Tool Chest from Christopher Schwarz, this was designed to hold my most essential hand tools. However, a lack of proper planning and a ton of bumps along the way turned this into a basic place for my tools to live as opposed to the ultimate tool chest for Japanese tools. This build is extremely approachable and with some proper layout, is a great beginner project for those looking to make a nice vessel for their prized hand tools. Thanks for watching!

While many view it as a chore, and indeed it is and can be, it can also really bring a level of intimacy to your tools and woodworking that is otherwise not obtainable. Here I'm walking you through the steps, in real time, of sharpening one Japanese paring slick and one Japanese plane blade. Since Japanese woodworking tools are often oblong in shape, they require jig free sharpening and careful attention in an effort to have the bevel and back meet at an exact sharp point. Furthermore, since Japanese steel is a lamination, with extremely hard steel on the bottom to form the edge, and a softer steel on the top for shock absorption and support, the process can be lengthy, but the results are absolutely impeccable. Japanese steel, adapted from the samurai tradition of sword making, holds an edge far longer than their western counterparts, but can truly be difficult to bring back to sharp if let go. Enjoy the slow, accurate, yet meandering process that is hand tool sharpening in real time. Furthermore, I hope this helps you develop an appreciation for what truly is a process to create genuine sharp tools, as opposed to tools that just cut paper and shave hair. These tools are SCARY sharp.

Despite it being comically large, it's actually incredibly functional. In Japan, large timber framing mallets of this kind are known as "Commanders". This mallet is designed to knock large timbers and bring joints together where they require a little extra coaxing. It's made entirely from solid ash and weighs in at nearly fifteen pounds. This project was made with a blend of hand and power tools, featuring a power carved handle, and a draw bore mortise and tenon joint to fix the head to the handle. The mortise and tenon utilized an auger bit from Diablo Tools as well as oscillating multi tool blades to make the process quicker and easier than it would be otherwise. Stick around to the end to see me go full Gallagher and experience the complete might of "The Commander".

However, before I get started on that, I have to get moving on some beam horses that can handle large timbers and keep me from having to lift a 12 foot timber above my waist. With that being said, I made a semi-traditional set of Japanese style timber frame saw horses from some scrap wood. Five components all friction fit with no adhesives and no mechanical fasteners make up this incredibly sturdy set of saw horses that can double as a seated work surface. This video highlights some Japanese carpentry techniques like peening slightly oversized components, complex marking to ensure perfect alignment and center, as well as the order of operations for chisel work.
