Handcrafted 14-step Staircase. Always Struggle With the First and 13th Steps [Season4 - Part9]

[@paulcoffey359]

The 7 1/4 inch Makita circular saw is a carpenters classic. I've had one for 30 years.

[@MrGM10]

It's a pleasure to watch your precision work. I am a trained carpenter and I appreciate your professional work, thank you. Graham UK

[@zephyr1408]

From a finisher carpenter in the States it’s such a pleasure watching an accomplished Carpenter in all aspects of the trade! Hats off !

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Yes, this is not how we build stairs in the US, but after watching this, we damn well should.

As a retired woodworker/machinist, it's a pleasure to watch someone build a staircase using old school techniques. I used to groove my risers to accept the treads, then wedge and screw them. As a sidenote for those who aren't in the trade, if one step is even only 3-4 ml taller than all the others (which it shouldn't be, but it happens), people will trip on it every time they use the stairs going up, so accustomed are we to how a staircase should feel. I learned that the hard way when I had to repair one such staircase in a yacht many years ago. My only question is why you don't use a jig and a router to groove the stringers for the treads, it's a lot quicker, cleaner, and you only have to square the back corners off when you're done. In any case, great video, and a nice staircase to boot! :) P.S. A Makita circular saw still going after 40 years!!! Unbelievable!!

[@TacComControl]

Thank you for your service, super surfacer. You have worked very hard. You can rest now.

[@etubcsegg]

Those grunts and groans are a universal language! Hahaha

[@davidbishop4015]

Beautiful staircase. I hope the customer appreciates all your hard work. You are a truly gifted craftsman. Stay safe.

[@joelyoung8006]

I’ve learned a lot from you. I specifically do stairs by trade and frequently go back to your videos to rewatch on my spare time.

[@uncouthboy8028]

​@@Spencer-e2vWhat kind of passive aggressive nonsense is this?

[@wrusty3767]

I have never ever seen the attention to detail that Shoyan puts into his work, like smearing glue onto the risers to prevent later splitting. I used to make shoji screens and fusuma, which require a high level of accuracy, but your detail blows me away! I'm grateful to be able to learn from your videos. Thank you.

[@staceymccloud6]

You are a master. Peers can only walk in the shadows of your accomplishments. Myself included.

I'd love to own the house when it's finished. The care and skill that has been put into building it is amazing.

The attention to detail is what brings me back to your videos. I'm a beginning woodworker and it is ALWAYS good to see how a master does it. Thank you!!

[@bristleconepinus2378]

I built my home, with stairway in Hawaii in 1980 using the very same techniques. The stairs were 16 rise, located in exterior location of 120" rainfall per year. I used 3- 4 x 4 gapped per tread, mortising everything into 4 x 12 jacks. 42 years later the stairs are still in great shape, used daily.

[@Roofskills21]

What type of wood did you use?

you know you're a true craftsman when you make look so easy and that is what you do thanks

[@HBSuccess]

Beautiful work and attention to detail sir. You are a master. What impresses me is your mental focus and what I’d term “intention” … every process well planned and executed with minimum wasted motion. Side note - I want one of those handheld dado-of-death cutters (your “groover”). Very tough to come by in the USA 😅.

[@artursmihelsons415]

Indeed, it's beautiful! This technology I like better than just cutting out triangle places for steps.. Because, after cutting out base plate gets week.. Excellent video and great job! 👍 THANKS FOR SHARING! 🤗

whoah that super surfacer? So basically a super sharp planer that forces the wood past it?

You deserve more than 144k likes. Brilliant craftsmanship

[@michaelintile7836]

It's great when you tell us something about your tools, both the electric and manual tools. In Japan and Australia you really have some quality Makita tools, here where I live (Scandinavia) we only have the cheap-lousy Makita machines; no chainmorticer and no tapping machines.

[@gregnations4939]

This is pure human artistry. I loved watching this. I wish so much that I could learn from a master like this. Well done.

No matter how many times I have watched you doing stairs installing I never get bored looking forward to seeing another house built and seeing it finished and we get a walk around it. 😀👍👍

[@ericwilliams538]

Wow!!!! After just installing two Red Oak ( treads and risers) staircases this past summer, we definitely didn't do it like this!!!! Just amazing!!!

[@donaldadams5342]

Exceptional craftsmanship with such precision & care makes it extremely pleasant & satisfying to watch you Shoyan. The explanations make it so clear to understand your process & delight in the execution of each step in that process. It is ALWAYS SUCH A DELIGHT to watch the work that you perform. It is also an absolute joy to watch the care & precision in caring for your tools & your skill just by hand to sharpen your plane blades & chisels to a level that most people can only dream of. Thank you for a wonderful video. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@cantgoslow]

I assume 'lazy' is a Japanese word for amazingly talented- I wish I was half as lazy as you because you are so skilled and make the highest quality finish look so easy to achieve. I'm building my own wooden house 375sqm in France and wish I could afford to hire you to do all the interior wood!

[@gilbertusac]

I enjoyed the videos and dedication to this craft. The work is thoughtfully planned and executed, and I am sure such perfection was attained thru years of practice and mistakes and hard lessons. That's why I would to see a video on Mr. Shoyan's bad day, when things didn't go as planned. I think we all have bad days at work, specially when we're starting on a profession. Therefore I would like to see or hear how Mr. Shoyan deals with problems at work after so many years of experiences.

[@scottmcdivitt2187]

Yes, the old circular saws are so much better. I have one that I found atop a pile of junk ten years ago. I thought it would be good replacement parts for my father's saw, as he had one of similar design. He looked it over and told me to try plugging it in. It fired up instantly. Ever since then, it has been a good circular saw.

I am always impressed with the selection of lumber used. Here in the USA the lumber is shabby at the best in the big box stores. Your lumber is so nicely grained, few knots, and so wonderful to look at. You are a true craftsmen and it is a joy to watch your skills put to the test.

@@Spencer-e2v I was a carpenter for 25+ years doing everything from framing houses to cabinet making and furniture building.
