Top Comments of this video!! :3
Hello Mr. Pask, my dad is from Iran and we have several khatam kari pieces in our home. I wanted to say you did a great job for your very first time, and you are probably one of the first people outside of Iran to make a video on making it. Thank you for introducing this art form to a wider audience!

A guy could build a full set of dining room furniture by the time it took him to make that small keepsake box. Awesome job brother, you've got conviction and then some. I can more that appreciate the difficulty and time gone into making this one-of precious gift, Happy Birthday Jessie.
A while ago I was commissioned to make a jewelry box to look like an ornate blanket chest with inlays , when I gave the customer an estimate, I was told to my face that my price to make it was out to lunch. The customer had no idea regarding the amount of labor that would go into it, she figured because the box was so much smaller than the chest it had to be a lot cheaper.
Long story short,
she went elsewhere and the price was almost doubled as what I quoted, she came back to me, agreed on my price ...I told her I was too busy and was no longer interested in taking it on..

Dear Neil, couple of points:
1. you saying "it's been a fun project" often, is why you are so loved - because everything you do you enjoy. It shows and it affects us
2. Happy birthday, Jess and have a beautiful time with your awesome father and your family
3. guessing what you might use the pattern for - I can imagine you doing an inlay of tool handles
4. The fiddly work pays off, the result is amazing. Very detailed and almost mind bending
5. regardless of anything else, Neil, thank you for sharing your world with us. It is really healing to know that some people are actually contributing beauty and not only darkness and destruction.
Be well, sir and thank you!
One more thing I wanted to say. I've always enjoyed your videos for the process and creativity, the result and your humanity, but recently you have really upped your videography. The footage and editing itself is amazing. I can tell you spent a lot of time on the production. You are amazing and the video looks very nice. Thank you for that too!

Of course, Jess loves it. She can feel the love you put into it, Neil. What a lovely little box and what wonderful patterns. I agree with the tiny movement of the triangles. If they were 'perfect' it would look like machine mass production. The talent, patience, and creativity you share with us all are enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing such beauty with us all.

Bondi Bond Waitlist: paskmakes.com/bondi-bond-waitlist/ This was a super fun project but I always enjoy this sort of thing. Thanks to whoever it was that pointed me towards Persian marquetry, it was in a comment a few years ago but have no idea from which video. Anyway it stuck in mind ever since, I just needed to get around to it. :)
