Is Expansion caps not necessary in Japanese flooring

and extraordinary magnitude

This is what ive always strived for in my 20 plus years as a carpenter to my detriment because nobody in north America appreciates quality craftsmanship and just wants production production production!!

Any moisture and warp city

Here in America we have a shit ton of lawyers, doctors, politicians etc.. but veeeryyy few who have skills like this don't get me wrong we have some bamf welders but damn this guy is the goat

Incredible modular design. You should be very proud! ❤

Greatest country ever.

Guys knees are gonna be trashed. Not wearing knee pads is wild when you’re doing this every day.

Artisanship. Care. Attention-to-detail, even in the smallest of details. Precision. Hallmarks of any great creator, builder, maker - and architect. A masterful example of Shokunin Kishitsu, translated as “the artisan’s spirit.”

When building with dried vegetable matter, never leave space for expansion, because ambient humidity never changes.

Konichii wa Shoyen San, i like you, treasure my tools. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and skills. Omedetou Sensei. 👍

I just subbed I will start watching the videos. Cause I have some winter projects in Tochigi.

No knots in it

Very nice

I have to say it in response to the comments and I'm sure Shoyan-san won't see this but!: I just found this channel and I prefer the new voice. It seems SO much more natural than the old voice. I'm amazed at all the people saying they prefer the old one. This voice FITS him. Sadly I can't watch the older videos because of the VO on them sounding not like him at all and it's jarring to me. He doesn't sound British at all lol have you guys ever even heard a Brit talk? I just wanted to leave a positive comment for you guys and the new voice. It's awesome.

I am also a carpenter, I want to work in Japan.

What tape measure is he using? It's pink

Awesome

He always weakens structural pillars by cutting out the base to fit the floorboards, seems sketchy.

So clean..

What people don't want to understand is that wood needs to breathe , that's why it is a porous material. And if it isn't able to breathe, it will not act like it's supposed to and it can make things go bad, like dry rotting or twist and turning ( depending on the wood species) but it can be just as bad as any other type of rotting. The house has to breathe, to prevent it from from other damages that can't be helped with the fact that it's built with wood witch will swell and shrink with the climate and moisture that it will consume over time. And you will never stop that process! No matter how much you try!

Love your work😍😍

beautiful job. I wish I could afford cedar.

I lived in Japan for three years in the early 80's, Morito Beach, Hayama. 3 of the best years of my life. I miss the culture very much. Great work.

I was taught where the wood touches concrete it needs to be pressure treated or green copper coated to protect against moisture and start rotting.

Think your missing out not using a multi-tool

The beams cracked.

Young folks look! The uncelebrated qualities of a hard working good husband who also loves his wife through n act of service.

That's really nice square you use. What brand is it and where can you buy it?

Wonderful job

I doubt insulating floor is needed,Im in Canada and no one ever does this, walls yes .

Love watching this man work. He is an artist.

That's really nice!

The level of detail is just amazing. You are using millimeter level of precision using pieces of that blue strap in America. We would've just screwed it down. Wouldn't have been a noticeable difference to us. This is so great. 😀

Understanding? We do not understand. It is an insult not to see such beautiful work you have robbed and deprived us of seeing you do the framing. Watching a master work and missing out on a part is a slap in the face I will forever be disappointed because I missed a piece of something so beautiful😢

when you have a plan and time its easy! This man does not rush or skip steps.

You make it all look so easy. . I just wanna start tearing down some walls and pulling up some flooring of my own to replace it, and just have to remind myself. . . It's not as easy at he makes it look, this man is an EXPERT

Good work. Looks like the only the perimeter of the foundation was insulated. How about the centre of the foundation?

👍👍. Another great lesson from you! Thank you for sharing your story with us 😊

Honor is the quality as I understand it from which the approach to the job comes. A carpenter or tradesman honors the homeowner by doing quality work at a fair price and so the tradesman stays honorable. Anything else is dishonorable.

In America we say "happy wife, happy life!"

creating a fully airtight space underfloor will lead to premature failure of the wood oobiki and neda. I do not recommend doing this way. Air circulation is an absolute necessity for underfloor.

❤️‍🔥👍

Your work is amazing.

So nice to watch a craftsman of this level of experience and care

Absolutely love your videos.

beautiful

i would love to learn Japanese joinery

These kinds of videos make me wish I was a Japanese carpenter.
