[@tynyyn5344]

As an American, I appreciate your efforts to make the videos with English language within them. Shoyan is a wonderful craftsman. As long as I've watched his videos I've always wondered what he has spoken. Now, with the language translator it is wonderful to hear his words. Thank you for your efforts to translate the Japanese language into English.

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

I'm blown away every time I watch his videos. He's on a level of craftsmanship we all hope to be at but know it's it's not a realistic goal lol

[@markadams3494]

Sir, As you once again proven, proper lay out is the key to a job well done. Although we may work in far and distant countries, watching your methods of work brings back memories of my time as an American carpenter, always striving to do good work. Thank you once again for a video worthy of your work. Mark Adams

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

@shanedevon6447 lol you sure git the nail on the head there, friend. Let's see. 27 years in the industry. I own a restoration company. I specialize in restoring historical homes. Most of the things we have to do are hand-made and have been discontinued for 100 years. So no, I don't worry about the craftsmanship. The craftsmanship is there. But..... you show me one carpenter in the States claiming to be on the level of a Japanese carpenter like this guy. Just one. Not a cabinet maker, not a trim carpenter. A regular carpenter doing what they do and I will tell you up front, they're lying. No one here does that work. It is not economical here. Takes too long and too expensive here. There that's what what they do, part of their culture. If your thin skinned enough to take offense, then so be it. Maybe knitting is some of your own advice you should take.

[@JV-pu8kx]

I have a hard time with subtitles. I find them too distracting to read them at the same time I'm trying to take everything in from the scene. So the spoken translation is a big help.

[@Critter145]

Agreed. I’m learning a ton just watching him work.

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

Yes the sill plates went nicely but GOD DAMN those concrete footings are a work of art. You can’t get work like that for less than $40,000 here in US.

[@pihermoso11]

Japan has to survive earthquakes and typhoons, so the foundation has to be good

[@fibbsjc]

I came here to say the same thing. As form work is part of carpentry, I wonder if there’s a way to film the form work being done? I would love to see it-especially how the tops are finished so smooth and co-planer.

[@krenwregget7667]

was going to make the same comment as that concrete work is better than anything I've seen here in Canada, at any price.

[@fibbsjc]

@@shanedevon6447 It’s not too different from your standard stem wall here in North America. It serves the same function as a base for the base plate to transfer the load to the footing. It’s just done to a level I’ve never seen before

[@jguitar23]

I am curious to know the exact concrete mixture, if possible. Does it contain volcanic ash?

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Deteriorating eyesight or not your quality of work is better than many with perfect vision! And after watching several of your videos I would hardly call you lazy!

[@donaldadams5342]

Everything about this installing of these large sections of timber on the foundations was a treat to watch. Your continued effort to get everything fitting so precisely is inspiring, such wonderful craftsmanship is extremely hard to find. Your work is the best carpentry that I have ever seen in my 83 years. Thank you Shoyan for your inspiration to all who view your wonderful videos. Cheers for now, Don from South Aust.

[@edosaUeweka1]

Good preparation before installation is one lesson from all your videos.

[@billb2094]

I am excited to follow you and your son on this new build! Please work safe and stay hydrated during summer. As we watch, we learn the correct ways to put the house together from a master craftsman with precision. 👍🔨😎

[@americanangler94559]

It would be nice to see this kind of craftsmanship in the USA.

[@Visceral.]

Your hair will turn gray 😂

[@gracesonanguring7768]

most satisfying carpentry video. I really love your video Shoyan san Sending love from the Philippines ❤

[@ElliotNesterman]

I like that you still measure in _shaku_ for large construction projects.

[@briansmith1514]

Do you have a video on all the cutting of the sill plates? I would love to watch you cut all that joinery. You apply so much more craftsmanship than what we use in the United States.

[@Uli_Krosse]

I love these videos. Bigger scale projects in multiple parts, in-depth and with great detail. I already learned a lot here!

[@seangould3664]

I’d love to spend a week working/learning from you. Thanks again!!

[@Zjaan321]

Hi Mr. Shoyan, can you please make a video on the pouring of the foundations and concrete walls and building and setting out of the formwork. Your work is exceptional, but I can't help to think it won't be possible if it was not for such square and level foundations. Who ever designed, formed and poured those footings did a phenomenal job.

[@tims4777]

Very interesting and I also appreciate the English.

[@sigogroup]

Japanese precision 👍

[@What1zTyme]

Beautiful work! Like watching a master cabinetmaker create a piano, so precise! Where I live, we’re happy if contractor builds house on right piece of property! Maybe wear a hat and not get sun stroke! Take care of yourself, you have many fans! 美しい作品です！ 熟練の家具職人がピアノを作るのを見ているかのようです。とても精密です。 私が住んでいるところでは、請負業者が適切な敷地に家を建ててくれれば嬉しいです。 帽子をかぶれば日射病にならないかもしれません！ ファンもたくさんいるので気をつけてください！

[@richardwaller9922]

Fantastic precision work.

[@Rsama60]

I love your attention to details. Can’t wait to see the next episodes.

[@jessegriffin9]

What a precise concrete work!!!

[@Bill53AD]

Love your method of sill and frames.

[@kevinlucas8437]

Love the attention to detail and to see the difference in building techniques !!!

[@kevinlucas8437]

Your kidding right !!! Where in the United States do you see that type of sill plate construction come on dude !!! WTF

[@oferbar]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. どうもありがとうございます❤

[@TheJBpics]

That is a system of screws securing sills to the foundation that I've never seen before. Gonna check it out. Great video, as always!

[@gazpal]

The Japanese approach to setting sole plates is as exceptional as their carpentry and joinery. A solid comparison between Japanese and western carpentry can be found if you look up videos by Larry Haun where he frames using western technique 😉

[@gazpal]

@@ShawnWitty i use the same method, by double checking founds for dimension & square and laying-out lines, but I put over 50yrs into the trade, my methods aren't in question and I've nothing to prove. Examples were offered in order to help another and in order to draw comparison between methods it pays to actually compare examples. Neither style is identical and there are very obvious differences.

[@henrymorgan3982]

The quest for perfection in ones work. Great video!

[@terrytopliss9506]

Excellent as usual Shoyan, thank you for the video.👍👍

[@paulstanding7267]

If this house is anything like the other one you built then it will be amazing looking forward to another great journey with you both. 😀👍👍

[@psidvicious]

Cool! Love the meticulousness of everything.

[@Sadboi.212]

I love watching all of you’re videos ❤

[@nathanhazlehurst484]

I love this guy. Great skills also. I live in Canada and our construction sites are a mess.

[@misteribeiro]

so inspiring to see a real expert

[@vfxsoup]

That concrete looked like it was made by an artist as well. In North America it never seems to look that clean and neat.

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Love you Shoyan!!!

[@onofre1966]

Many thanks for the explanation in English, great job.

[@mkmclachlan6349]

Beautiful work as always, Shoyan San!

Welcome to the old man bad vision club :)

[@davidbishop4015]

It is very interesting to see how you align all the joints and intersecting boards on the foundation. I'm looking forward to the remaining 3 episodes. Thankyou for sharing your videos with us. Stay safe.

[@my-rocket]

Gotta share my love for that big wood hammer.

[@art1muz13]

Take care in the heat. Great work as always! Can't wait to see the rest of the project. Thank you for sharing.

[@Ham68229]

This is why I enjoy the Japanese carpentry over that of our American standards. Joints are far more "intricate" and accurate. For that heavier impact, get yourself some anti-vibration gloves, they really help your hands. Truly enjoy your work, great video as always, cheers :)

[@TheCongressman1]

Take care in the heat, especially with the temperature trending higher. Fantastic work as always!

[@NextLevelCraftworks]

Great work as always! Cant wait to see the rest of the project. Thank you for sharing

[@staginglightingsensation8505]

I would love a house made this way. So elegant and beautiful.

[@Alanoffer]

What a great idea those concrete footings are , it’s such an excellent foundation for a house , I’ve seen a lot of concrete poured in my time but I’ve never seen it finished to that quality ,

[@dragonlotion1789]

Great translation whoever is doing this. certainly isn’t Google Translate. Also, The Grateful Dead knock off soundtrack is hilarious given the context.

[@lordpickle8424]

Take it easy Shoyan, heat affects people of different ages differently. What younger people can easily take hits older people a lot harder.

[@chrismul8337]

looks like a big house

[@lukthere2]

It is so hot in Japan right now... We were in Tokyo and Osaka this week and i was melting. So hot and humid, it's crazy. I've never produced so much sweat just from walking around in my life.

Hello. Are you planning to make a video about the traditional way of building houses, without modern technology and metal fasteners?

[@hansthebeast9740]

No basements in Japan it seems. Smart. They are nothing but trouble.

[@migo-migo9503]

A precisely built foundation, wow! That would never happen in the US.

[@rolandgdean]

[@hedfuka8608]

I’m wondering about dampness being trapped under the floor ...the concrete foundations are continuous... I see you installed a plastic ventilation on the sill... can small creatures get through the vent..? Is this enough ventilation ... ? I’m surprised there are no vents incorporated into the concrete foundation. I’m asking questions because I’m always thinking of ways to support a wooden structure that deal with dampness and creature ingress..!

[@gazpal]

The space between sole plate and foundation is well ventilated, while the area beneath floor level is intended as a crawl space (services) and allows intermediate beam supports to be adjusted. Damp should not be a problem because waterproof membrane are in place as external, exposed foundation is typically below final ground level.

[@gazpal]

@h2s142 crawl space is not used as access to outside, but needs to be ventilated for the sake of adequate air circulation.

[@lathamgreen]

This seems quite a bit different than how you would build in America

[@garrysekelli6776]

That's crazy that the houses come without a basement.

[@garrysekelli6776]

@@ShawnWitty nope. I want a proper basement. Not much extra work to install but lots of extra space. You can even put your woodshop and home gym down there. Or if it's the Alamo Peewee Herman's bicycle repair shop.

[@Critter145]

6:21 is that a cemetery across the road?

[@jackjack4168]

Much better if you drill the outside dodai on its place much faster. Less labor and less dangerous.

[@iangough7659]

I like the rubber membrane on top of the cement. Could you tell me the name of the membrane please, and also if it possible to buy online.

[@GeorgeKouloumbis]

Good morning all. As a contractor in the UK, I'm loving the tidy site and admire the clean lines of the foundations. Bliss If this was in the UK then the site would’ve been full of McDonald's rubbish and plastic bottles. No tattoos either. Culture changes last.🤭

[@yusuihang]

Anyone know if those plastic "foundation vents" (used between foundation and sill) are available in U.S.? Is there an American name for it? I only see the foam back used in U.S.

[@yusuihang]

@@ShawnWitty Where did you think I looked before when I posted that I don't see it in US? In US, I do not see that at Home Depot or Lowe's. I also don't see it with Internet search. I only see the foam gasket I mentioned. I had posted link to product that I see, but that comment did not get posted--maybe because we can't post product links in comments?

[@yusuihang]

@@ShawnWitty I just checked Home Depot Canada website. I don't see it.

[@mrln247]

​@@yusuihangThat ShawnWitty has been popping up with unhelpful impolite comments. You may well not be able to find something like the sill vent where you are, with regional changes in regulations and standards some products simply don't exist unless you want to go down the very specialist supplier's or extreme route of importing from abroad which involves trying to find contacts prepared to ship and dealing with language barriers. There will be a regional standard method for ventilation that your local suppliers will have, might be something like vent bricks instead. I for example simply do not have a supply for all the metal connectors that the Japanese use to reinforce the joinery. Atleast within a budget, with a massive wallet you can get anything.

[@anditoba4096]

black plastic under the wood sills, is it meant to protect against moisture?or is there another purpose?
