I'm a contractor/custom home builder and engineer in the U.S. The quality of the materials shown here is incredible, and I can only imagine the cost. I'm mid 30's and grew up building homes with my older brother and father. We took a lot of pride in the homes we built, and this carpenter reminds me a lot of my father. What a pleasure to watch this and learn different techniques and methods!

[@bingobongo939]

Cost is normal. House in Japan costs less than in US.

[@georgehill3087]

From what I've read. Wooden constructions are about $130-200 per square foot on average in Japan depending on the region. And this is about average by the standards over there. Really makes you wonder wtf are we doing here in the US.

[@georgehill3087]

@Dr. Pyssinshytz You need to go to a lumber yard that sells high quality lumber.

[@xdxdsheep]

Builders in U.S. don't use quality wood in framing mostly because 2x4 is just so much cheaper and easier to work with (also you rarely have exposed wood elements in mass produced residential buildings in the U.S. whereas even the lower end new houses have exposed wood ). You got to pay a premium to hire someone with this level wood working skill in the U.S. while this level of skill is way more common in Japan.

[@xdxdsheep]

@@ShawnWitty Ummm....last Friday??? I don't know what triggered you so much. I apologize if I somehow offensed you, but what I meant to say was dimensional lumber and 2x4 is just the smallest and most commonly known.

[@ConwayT91]

The materials are so nice, the workplace is always so clean, the tools are perfectly sharp and your skill is most impressive of all. You make construction work look like art!

[@joshusanders]

pencil so sharp ha ha

[@robertcarrillo1960]

couldn't have said it better.

[@johnnymcgoogle8859]

I’m so impressed with the craftsmanship of this carpenter. I’m an old and Canadian Journeyman Carpenter and was fortunate enough to have built Canadian log homes in Japan. First at Nasu, then near Hita city on Kyushu and a year later near Osaka and right on the Pacific. I loved Japan. If I were a younger man (I’m not), id love to go back to Japan and work again with Japanese carpenters so we could exchange ideas, building techniques and have some fun again. Thanks for showing us your series and wonderful building skills! Cheers from Canada

[@expensivetechnology9963]

Thank you for allowing your audience to conclude for themselves that you are a master carpenter. I can’t think of a more useful tradesman.

[@nathrak]

Absolutely astonishing how superior the care, materials, and craftsmanship is compared to the US.

[@tylerzmistowski5867]

Industry vs artistry

[@ThePhoenixlad]

Same for UK. Standards here are poor

[@Danny........]

Japan still has a traditional familial culture based on respect and modesty. Ours is based on acceptance and social justice. We're in a raging dumpster fire.

[@alberto10722]

​@@Danny........ tbh lol, it doesn't help calm the fire when we also have a crazy old kook running the states

[@Danny........]

@@alberto10722 damn skippy. He's looking more and more ragged every day too.

[@thomasblinka978]

I worked as a US carpenter in my youth. I wish I could have done the quality of work I see in this video. I can only remember using a chisel once, and I doubt any carpenters I worked with ever used a hand plane, glued anything, or knew what a mortise and tenon or dovetail joint was. It is a joy to watch the care and pride this man brings to his profession!

[@zico3239]

those hand saws are japanes it feels great when you saw with them

[@nhitc6832]

Americans have a mindset of cheap, fast, good enough, and huge profit. Not saying this is a bad thing but I wish they'd have more pride in what they do and a bit more desire for perfection.

[@stevenhyn3498]

❤ LoveJapan. The way they build the house such as like putting the LEGO. Excellent detail and clean.

[@DMSparky]

Best thing about KZbin is Shoyans craftsmanship will last even longer than the house.

[@twomgwu17]

I'm in awe! The joinery, the use of hand tools on a build, the materials, the pride in one's work - it's all just incredible.

[@davidwell686]

I love Japanese attention to detail. The foam protecting the door handle is classic!

[@johnwoodruff2275]

All your work is so exacting and pleasing to the eye.I am 75 years old and a carpenter but cannot work through ill health and I really enjoy watching you work and getting such fine results please keep making videos 👍👍👍

[@AlbertTao]

I'm an amateur woodworker and made a few furniture pieces. The quality of the material and the craftsmanship is astonishing and better than what I put into my furniture. Even on the "rough" framing work looks phenomenal, and the stairs and built-in storage and desk are just outta this world.

[@Mines_a_pint]

I have been a UK cabinet maker for almost 40 years. It seems that I still have a lot to learn. Your skills have enhanced my own. Thank you and keep those video's coming.

[@mw6563]

A culture with deep respect for craftsmanship, materials and precision. As an American with experience in Architectural Project Coordination I would have little to do with such a well planned project and skilled crew. Outstanding.

[@MudPig6110]

The framing of the house is very impressive, especially when you consider most houses in the states are done with 2 x 4s. Compared to the thickness of the framing in this video it makes American homes look like they are built with matchsticks. Well done!!

[@Joe_kickass25]

Don't forget the chainsaws haha

[@iwb70]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWfQhnmojcqrd80 maybe wanna watch this vid about American 2x4 framing? It's pretty interesting.

[@canadaphil6068]

​@@ShawnWitty Yes.. In Ontario, Canada, the vast majority of houses are framed with 2x6 exterior and load walls.

[@FarmhoodMK]

In a middle europe we make fun of American houses :)

[@yingtuo7243]

i doubt you can find 1 straight 2x4 in the US. lol

[@rusticfox4283]

This is a true craftsman home not just a craftsman-styled house.

[@Gabson9]

So much elegance, passion and craftsmanship in that nailing job.

[@SimonPEdwards63]

Australian and American builders should watch this...

If people took the same care in their professions that you take, the world would be a much better place! Thank you for giving me a goal to aspire to.

[@tamitng]

This is a lovely and warm wooden house. You have made a masterpiece that will last a long time! 🍀👍

[@thecarlob_007]

Perfect blend of simplicity and elegance. Masterful work and craftsmanship!

[@iljavija]

Swinging the hammer with one hand, this is ultimate proof of this mans skill, everything is so flush it makes me emotional.

[@limmortale2001]

I normally don't have much of an interest in Japanese content, but this is amazing. I especially love it when the wooden parts fit together so perfectly.

[@deanaf]

I can't stop laughing. The quality and details are insane. Even the sill plates.

[@yeltsin6817]

It’s like ballet art and construction. The Japanese put their heart and pride into everything they do

[@Fishbone8891]

I used to want to move to Japan, now I really want to move to Japan, just to be able to live in a house with such amazing craftsmanship shown

[@funtyes1970]

You dont have to live in Japan to live in house like this , you can easy build a house like this whatever you from,just saying, down street from me there a Japan house kinda like this house with great wood working craftsmanship like this .

[@frikyouall]

@@funtyes1970 "easy" is a relative matter. Lot of finesse and knowhow involved around even getting affordable land in the U.S. nowadays.

[@examinationsquare]

I wish I could hire these guys to build my home in the US. I know the quality would last 100+ years with little to no repairs and the cost of labor and material would be the same or cheaper. I feel that their culture they make use of everything and don't waste wood. AND ONLY 5 MONTHS TO BUILD THE HOUSE. (depending on size of course)

[@OD91MJ]

Carpenter, electrician, insulatation, roofer. Guy does it all man.

[@barrywhitlock141]

your skill as a carpenter is very evident. your work really is superb and everything you do is amazingly beautiful.

[@WillieScholtz]

Thanks!

[@dragade101]

Such a beautiful home that you helped them realise. This kind of mastery and detail is often ignored with new construction jobs.

[@donaldadams5342]

I am continually amazed at cleanliness of your building sites, it must make working SO much more pleasant to work in such conditions. In Australia most building sites seem to look like 'a war zone' & the work does not look as impressive as it should, like your sites. I delight in the way that all your tools are kept so sharp & in such good general condition. With the excellent condition of the tools used comes the skill level that you continually display making it such a pleasure to watch you work & the explanations that go with it are excellent. Great work Shoyan, stay safe & well. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@zephyr1408]

It’s a hit with all of us professional carpenters here in the states keep showing us how to do it right !

[@frikyouall]

Are you applying some of these techniques as common practice nowadays, by chance?

[@zephyr1408]

@@frikyouall I am a finish carpenter by trade! So I build cabinets, doors, hang doors, base, crown, build stairs ( I say build but I put on risers , treads, railings , build custom storage. All the finishes inside a home. Where I am you must hv a license and carry an insurance bond of $25,000 minimum . In order to get a license you must hv 3 years apprentice under a journeyman carpenter who signs off your paper work! Once you do that at the end you take a state test! If you pass all that you get a contractors license! Mine is called a “MillWorks” license. So I am a finish carpenter ! I see your skill level is way above mine! Just the joinery is very good! I am a good carpenter however, I assume because you do everything from building finished stairs to framing a house your skill level is much higher ! Thk u for the videos and I hope I did not answer to long!

[@frikyouall]

@@zephyr1408 Well I'm happy for your success, but I feel like I must correct a misconception. I'm not the person in the video, nor am I the uploader. That person's name would have been highlighted by a grey border when they responded to you. To follow the conversation, in what state are these credentials required? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@zephyr1408]

[@watdatdoo]

I want this guy to build my house, but with a secondary professional American crew to support. Him for perfection and aesthetics, American crew for fortified anchors, safe rooms and so on. His crew will definitely do the interior. Everything just looks perfect, no shoulder shrug or good enough. Hell he freaks out when the foam board corner was broken. Only thing I gotta worry about is money, expected house to cost twice as much. His boards are shaven down to the 100th, holy shit!

This is timber-frame home building. The level of craftsmanship is mind-numbingly sophisticated and the beauty of the finished home is like that ever-elusive cherry blossom tree. Man oh man. If I had the money and the land, I would fly the Japanese to the U.S. to build my home. Or I'd move to Japan.

[@woolfel]

you can tell the framing is specifically designed to handle earth quakes. Homes in the US generally don't have the extra bracing, except hurricane states like florida.

[@AlexLiability]

Дуже філігранна і гарна робота, ви поводитесь з деревом лагідно, мов з немовлям. Було приємно дивитися. Дякую.

[@ItzCoopzFtw]

You're a treasure mate. I also love the joinery done in Japan, it's elegant. And being in New Zealand, we should really be doing the Studs and Bracing the same way as how you did, seeing as we're both in extremely Earthquake prone countries.

[@elephant9197]

Favourite part at 12:18 (and a couple of other times) hand planing see-through ribbons along the whole length of a 3-4 m long piece of timber.

[@prilep5]

I like especially the bracing because a little bit of extra cost will improve the stability exponentially

[@hamiltonharper]

Yeah that curved handrail was a nice touch

[@wormo5096]

Love your work and good character Shoyan. I salute you kind sir.🛠
