I don't care if you are a German or a Papua New Guinean. Everything DO have to be in perfect line for the product to be the best. Each human being does have his own skill levels but doesn't mean the best products don't exist. Get lost.

​@@FairScale-tx1qvMost machine work requires .01in, I've seen stuff work with a 1in, and I've seen .001 achieved (some .0001)... depending on what you need, that .25 doesn't really matter, especially when the material is pulling on itself.

Made me feel easier for approaching woodworking. Too easy to get lost in making everything 100% perfect

I'm about to learn woodworking or at least I say I am. I took a safety course at our local woodshop and was overwhelmed by all of the machines, which are from the 60s and 70s. I cannot believe what you just did with these tools alone. Thanks for this! This will help me so much!

Watch some Roy Underhill and Paul Sellers videos. You may be surprised about how much can be done with hand tools and how fast one can work with them.

I love that you keep it simple. I've often thought of starting a channel called 10 Tool Tim to show people that you don't need to buy everything before you can make something.

I like the rustic nature of this project. It is in keeping with traditional Japanese tool boxes in that they do not use finishes of any kind in their tool boxes. They are meant to be rustic and functional. Artistic in the sense of the craftsman's skill without it being an intended show piece. This was a very good expression of that spirit. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm inspired ! 😀...again !

The catalpa i know in Alabama/USA is very dense, heavy and rot resistant. It was grown in the American colonies for fish bait and fence posts. In certain months moths lay eggs on the big leaves and the multi colored worms are a favorite for fishing in the local creeks and rivers. I have a stump on a concrete slab out back of my shop i use for ax work that's at least 25 years old.

I was gonna leave a comment but i won't.

First I'd like to say that your Japanese woodworking skills are better than mine ever have been or ever will be and no, I don't have any woodworking videos of my own. I also concede that you did point out many times that this was a quicky chisel toolbox, was not traditional, and that it serves its purpose just fine. With that said here are my negative comments (what video would be complete without them?) 1) A lot of times the difference between amateur and professional is not God-level skills or super high-dollar equipment but being careful what you're doing. You're not measuring carefully, cutting carefully, or basically anything carefully. 2) What you call "good fit" (1:24), my Grandpa would have called "holes big enough to throw a cat through". Luckily for all of us, he's not around to critique our work. 'Thumbs up' vote for your video, nonetheless. Lastly, will you PLEASE sharpen that pencil? That rubbing wood on wood doesn't make a very good mark as you may have noticed (or maybe not).
