『大工の伝統技術』台持ち継ぎ Japanese Carpentry - Big Beams, Big Joinery

Big, curved beams are joined with this joinery called "Daimochi Tsugi". This material will be used as beams for a Traditional Japanese structure we are currently working on. The material is Matsu (Japanese Pine).

My favorite thing about taking a break from the internet is coming back to your new content and it just keeps getting better and better. I've never even seen this in any of the joinery books I own but it looks (and sounded) incredibly solid! Thanks for sharing :)

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks Adam, that’s great to hear 😊🙌

[@PapaFlammy69]

Amazing work Dylan, as usual! Such an elegant joint :)

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you 😊

[@Hutch5321]

Amazing work, as always! Thank you for the new video, Dylan.

[@ph00z00]

that beam looks to have a huge split in it. very cool joinery techniques.

[@MrChickadee]

looks like some really dry and hard pine, nice work

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

I just love the sound the wood makes when you work it.

[@simonabbott]

Is this for the building you were dismantling? Wonderful to see these beautiful joints in use

[@dylaniwakuni]

Yes, this will be for the new, expanded section of the building

[@ricos1497]

Wonderfully complex joint, beautifully fitted. I love that you gave two shots of it coming together! Because of the difficulty of the joint it's great to see the hand tool skills on display, with the circular saw and drill not really being a huge time saver when you have to do that much chisel work anyway I'm guessing. It's nice to see the mix though.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks for your comment 😊 Happy to hear that!

[@hebierob]

love this! thank you!

[@peteevers784]

i find watching craftspeople working satisfying. i came across this channel about a year ago and i have yet to not watch a complete episode.

[@DorianBracht]

Nice man! I've never seen the dovetailed Daimochi though. Is it rare?

[@dylaniwakuni]

The master carpenter was telling me it was his first time with a dovetailed Daimochi. But I seen some photos of it before on blogs (never in books) and it’s definitely not common. It’s a bit of a pain to make but it does feel solid!

[@DorianBracht]

@@dylaniwakuni It definitely looks really beautiful!

[@anthonyfetter2904]

Interesting how the beams don’t flush out with each other.

[@gungho8180]

I noticed this too! I am very interested to see the reason for this and how it is incorporated into the forthcoming structure. I hope we get to see exactly where this piece fits. Cheers!

[@kevinmccann316]

I'd love to know the reason for this too... the joint is amazing but with the two sides at different levels I'm confused as to it's use. Unless of course there is a third beam on the other end that matches the height of the far end making it go up then back down so that the end points are both the same height.

[@annaferrari302]

Magnifico..PURA ARMONIA... Grazie ❤️

[@nurudinmaruf4693]

So calming

[@jeffbourne6015]

Simple but highly efficient joinery executed with extreme precision using basic tools- so satisfying to watch and be inspired from. MANY THANKS!!!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear that 😊

[@dp1381]

Beautiful execution! The way the two parts slid together during assembly was sweet

[@dylaniwakuni]

Amazing work Dylan, a pure joy to watch! Can't wait to see it all come together , cheers :)

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

Peaceful and Satisfying - my very impression of Japan (just not Tokyo).

[@rangerpig8324]

Have seen in a few of your videos that somethings the beams have very long cracks in them and i was wondering is it not a concern that those cracks may become a structural weakness? Or is there only some cases where those beams can be used as a sort of mitigation factor. At what point do you reject using a beam with what seems to be very long and deep cracks.

[@Vendemiair]

Indeed, the beam that was joined in the end had a massive crack that was very near the joint (13:16) and runs lengthwise at what appears to be along the grain of the wood. Looking at it gives me anxiety 😁

[@NicolaFloris]

The type of stresses that those beams usually are under is tension on the bottom half and compression on the top. As long as the cracks are less than a third of the thickness and on the center (vertically) they are absolutely not a problem.

[@guessnot8015]

This cracks showed the wood is seasoned well

[@RichardDenRooyen1973]

those tools are sharp!

ゴロンボの台持ちは初めて見ました！！！！ この場合って、女木、男木をそれぞれ相手に光付けてから やってるんですよね。 尊敬します👏✨

[@dylaniwakuni]

ありがとうございます😊

[@kfujillama9548]

It’s not the tools, it is the precision of the carpenter’s hand and eye. THAT is why…

[@ikust007]

Ah my mate! Good day Dylan San. Back in Japan ?

[@marcobettencourturbina1107]

Hey Dylan. Quick question. Is there a standard depth for mortises? If so, what is it? Thanks man. Hope you’re well.

[@beauregardduquesne3831]

Sir! Is there a book in English on Japanese Joinery that it’s available and for sale? Also where to purchase the tools used in your craft or Artisanship?

[@PeterNetped]

👍👍👍

[@GSX-R-yo1rp]

ええ、音やねぇ。

[@boriserjavec6470]

is there a way to dry beams withouth them cracking up?

[@user-jl9vd4td7x]

how long does the process take?

[@bryanstellfox8521]

If you would be so kind to enlighten me, what was this beam used for? It's such a unique scarf joint, at an angle? Will this be used for part of a roof? I'm dazzled, it's amazing! The quality of the lumber is superb, it must have cost a fortune. I just recently fitted my first beam using a scarf joint, using your earlier video for guidance. Two 8ft beams, reclaimed oak from a barn, for the frame of my new workshop. No where near your craftsmanship, but it's rock solid.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear my video helped you with making your scarf joint. As for this joinery, here is a clip of the final actual assembly: instagram.com/p/CTnirlhheCl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Why are the Timbers split?

Man, i thought youre gonna turn the whole thing into a wooden daimos

[@ikust007]

The drop box not working . Is it only me ?

[@ikust007]

Dylan: do you have your own shop ?

[@gregoryguitars6291]

Is that a dry timber? I build timber frame homes in VT and we use greenish timbers. Is it customary to use dry timbers in your area? It's like pornography watching you work, by the way.

[@ikust007]

Mate: your link for Coffee doesnt work: better of with Crypto.

Thanks for letting me know. Link should be fixed.

Much a do about nothing. Does not look very neat.

[@Maxime-ho9iv]

This is made to build houses and temples. It’s like the absolute contrary of « a do about nothing ».
