Hello! I’m Shoyan.
I have been working as a carpenter in Japan for 50 years and am a licensed architect and technician.
I would like to share my work, knowledge, etc., regarding Japanese carpentry.
I hope you enjoy my videos!

[@MagiRaz]

I appreciate you leaving the mistake in there. It's important for people to know even masters of their craft have accidents from time to time. It's very human.

[@tonymontana5651]

Also teaches us a lesson about laziness

[@cariboocustomwoodworks6528]

Agreed. Anyone can make a mistake.

[@SourCream01]

Atleast it was something getting damaged and not something like a 100mm trick. He's still the master of carpenters

[@VikingDIYer]

Excellent answer! We all can become master from we learn our mistakes! We can’t be perfect all of time!

[@murphymmc]

The man who never works, never makes a mistake. I love your commitment to excellence.

[@Paultimate7]

Uhh, thats some fake as hell wisdom right there. Mistakes are part of every level of craft and are extreemly important tools to guide us.

[@markrobinson1458]

Having been impressed from day one, I'm still amazed at your beautifully sharpened pencils 😂 👌👍

[@xMrPaintxx]

I feel like PBS should replace this old house with this man... so much better in everyway, this man makes watching carpentry enjoyable.

[@moonbeamjones9888]

Maybe the newer episodes without Norm

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Why? Two different cultures and ethics. PBS would want to hide brands and dumb down the work. This Old House is more like This Old Expensive Remodel House and AskThisOldHouse is more about the average home fixer, owner. Even some of the shows look like they used their own staff to fill in for episodes. Atleast they are bringing in new talent but KZbin has some of its own, like Shoyan.

[@xMrPaintxx]

@moonbeamjones9888 hfs norm still doing it? Gd bro time to retire already 😪

[@harrisric128]

This is so refreshing to see... So much garbage is going on in the construction and building industry, especially in the US. This is one of the channels I always watch when they upload. THank you

[@rafadacosta1675]

Right? His attention to detail is unparalleled.

[@thomaswayneward]

You can still find good builders in the US. So much of the work is done by south of the border people and very few of them are good at what they do. A huge part of them can't even read a tape measure and can't add and subtract fractions in their heads.

[@TheSPoS]

Aside from the craftsmanship I'm just constantly in awe at the quality of the timber! Great job.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Me too. I never see wood like that at Home Depot.

[@ThePoopdicks]

I was like, how is he driving all those screws without anything splitting?? Looks like real quality timber

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

They use a special growing technique to make sure it is straight grain. Involves trimming branches when it is young.

[@johncamp7679]

Sharpening your pencil with the chisel is just showing off. Haha I’ve never seen that, fantastic

[@thomaswayneward]

A sharp chisel is just a knife.

[@johncamp7679]

@ yeah, I have a chisel, but it’s not sharp. I’m learning, not at that level yet.

[@thomaswayneward]

@@johncamp7679 LOL. The chisels he uses are a lot sharper than us chisels. I slowly converted to Japanese tools because mostly they are better. Actually the carpenter in the video is not using all the good Japanese tools he could use. I bought a Japanese framing hammer 35 years ago, still using it as there is none better in the world. Cost $25. I just used a razor knife to sharpen my carpenters hammer and for close work used a mechanical, thin lead. They mark the same every time.

[@johncamp7679]

@ I was wondering where to get a hammer like that. I have some Japanese chisels now, I never thought about using them for that, I have a couple pull saws, but the rasps are really good. Thanks for the info

[@spennshell]

the level of care you put into your work is next level

[@eugenejohnson6592]

How nice to know that there are still, at least in Japan, true master carpenters for whom “ good enough” isn’t an acceptable level of craftsmanship. I salute you, Sensei Shojan!

[@knitedeus3095]

I love how you add in little events that happen around the build, like the birds in the house. It's cute and humanising

[@xbox360Rob]

Long time watcher, I've always thought about your skill with the square and marking down perfect lines effortlessly is actually art.

[@thesaltycabbage]

Material quality is outstanding 😮 it looks like everything is finished wood, not the rough sawn and bent rubbish we have over here in the UK

[@kevenweaver9266]

As an American carpenter, the attention to detail you put into work like this warms my heart. You will not find anything of that quality in the States.

[@frenizoned3051]

You will find it in old restorations or very expensive new homes where I live in Maine. Definitely a dying craft.

[@paul_laws]

あなたは高潔な人だ。あなたの間違いを私たちに見せてくれたことは、とても名誉なことです。私たちの多くは、同じことをする強い人格を持ち合わせていないと確信している。SHOYAN師匠、ありがとうございました

[@ching574]

im glad that even with someone as careful as you mistakes happen no one is perfect mistakes happen

[@InconsistentManner]

Glad to see Master Carpenter Shoyan-San is still a human being. It hurts when you enjoy your work and you make a mistake. I have been there and it happens from time to time.

[@fly-navy]

Installing that last piece of soffit was incredibly satisfying. I'm fascinated by your attention to detail.

[@raynierllewis2827]

Laziness never pays off 😊

[@ridethroughlifertl]

I admire people that are quick to admit to mistakes. Great work on the eaves too!

[@RichardDenRooyen1973]

can watch Shoyan for hours

[@MrTheBigNoze]

I’m amazed at the consistency and beauty of the building materials, even for non-visible areas like the soffit frame. Probably makes working a lot easier

[@MrTresto]

J Grade is a unique visual quality No. 2 & Better developed by B.C. lumber suppliers in the late 1970s to meet appearance construction lumber requirements for Japanese home builders. It limits/restricts the amount of wane, sap/heart stain, pin/grub/teredo holes and warp. While the amount of these characteristics allowed in No. 2 & Better do not limit the serviceability or strength of the products for construction applications, they did not meet the visual requirements Japanese builders needed to satisfy their customers. J Grade is not assigned higher-strength values than No. 2 & Better, as primary strength-limiting characteristics such as knots, slope-of-grain or shake are allowed in accordance with the No. 2.

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Right, we’d have to pay a fortune to get lumber like that here in the US.

[@thomaswayneward]

I enjoy watching his videos because this is exactly what I did for over fifty years in the US. I really miss it. It is amazing how carpenters arrive at the same methods of doing things the same way. Experience make you arrive at the same place, mostly.

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

It would be really awesome to see you tour a lumber mill and the forest where it is harvested. So you could show us westerners how the lumber is grown and harvested to be so damn clean.

[@SplashJohn]

TANSTAAFL. That's expensive wood.

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Swallows are good luck! Neighbor had a pair that would nest in their barn-shop as they left doors and windows open most of the season. They don't mind people since they keep predators away. But a mess they make ...

[@MacTng]

Dear Mr Shoyan. You are the best carpenter I've even seen. May I know which perfecture of Japan are you from.

[@djparn007]

Thank you, Shoyan. 👍👍

[@jimbryant2157]

I would love to own a house you built - especially after seeing the expertise of work and use of quality materials. I especially liked the pencil sharpening chisel - smooth move! ;)

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Stunning craftsmanship. Utmost precision

[@wrstew1272]

Good morning Shoyan!

[@wrstew1272]

The wood you use is beautiful 😊. I would paint, varnish is better to show the beauty of the wood. My personal preference, owners probably expect colors 😢

[@djthompson86]

Can you show the building plans so that we can get a sense of the lay out of the house please. In the videos is hard to get an idea of dimensions and layout of the rooms. thank you for the great videos and keep up the great work.

[@maxgrey435]

You are an impressive carpenter Shoyan. I enjoy watching you immensely.

[@GeneraleRus]

Poor Shoyan didn't expect that scaffolding pole to swing that bad! Hope he didn't drop an f-bomb when it happened lol

[@kevinlucas8437]

Sometimes, you just have to accept the mistake and move on !! Nice work !!!

[@terrytopliss9506]

Excellent and precise as usual Shoyan, beautifully done.👍👍

[@claudestuder4199]

Man, I just realy get so inspired watching him work, mistakes and all.

[@zephyr1408]

Just a great carpenter!

[@andymitchell368]

excellent work and remember nobody is infallible

[@stoffes]

So nice to see carpenting from Japan im usually when buying tools engines or other stuff from Japan always get good quality!

[@eddjordan2399]

just fantastic work . dont worry dude we all make mistakes, thats life big love from uk.

[@eleutheros]

I’m always finding a new way to work when I watch your channel.

[@searkho653]

very great job. everyone made mistake so we can learn.

[@stephmo371]

would've loved working under a craftsman like shoyan

[@SOUNDINTHECITY]

Great skills.

[@War_Hammer]

I enjoyed watching this video, I hope insurance covers the broken glass.

[@FallenActual]

Amazing work! the door was unfortunate but life happens!

[@nickmolloy9563]

Nice pencil sharpener. Great job.

[@TheCyberMantis]

That wood is too nice for framing. In the USA, we would be using OSB and plywood. 😆

[@americanangler94559]

Good episode

[@alfadas1443]

beautiful work, beautiful person. It's a joy to watch you and silently dream about moving to japan and becoming the apprentice of a master carpenter. I already have a good career and family, so maybe in the next life. Best wishes from Germany.

[@paulstanding7267]

The house is starting to look very good. 😀😀

[@davidjowett8195]

As always, beautiful work. Thank you for sharing

[@tonymontana5651]

Very beautiful work and nice weather to get work done

[@daviddura1172]

Love watching your craftsmanship First time seeing the blade switch on a circular hand saw …. Love the look of the wood you are using Oops happen… Loved the video…

[@mjay4700]

Such fine craftsmanship

[@thomastrieschman7967]

I,also sharpen my pencil with a chisel.Framers marvel at this.

[@harkbelial]

Lumber is beautiful.

[@parttime9070]

I did the same thing one time with my steel toe boot.

[@АндрейБеда-е5щ]

Best master❤

[@hectorotani27]

無事でよかったです

[@fusedglass01]

Hope this helps you pay for that door.

[@WANDERER0070]

I think The box should be more steep so the snow would slide off easy

[@als1023]

What make is that beautiful 8" chop saw ? Great video , excellent planning.

[@histershellac2842]

the only building posts i see where thorough shimming to achieve dimensional accuracy is shown as a necessary and accepted sequence. so many NA posts just put a big ol' parting strip or nappy sprung molding etc to hide the compounding errors inherent in stick & sheeted structures.

[@ouagadougou62]

Beautiful work as usual. Even pros make mistakes and owning it is commendable. I'm curious about the soffits, my friend an architect in Japan says that it has to be made of fireproof material, of course, timber looks much better but are the rules different by prefectures?

[@jonathan2585]

Hopefully that don't come out of your pocket ... shit happens buddy awesome job as always much respect thanks for sharing

[@mihaidaniliuc1001]

Lucrarea e super , exact și calitativ

[@Bra-chan]

A great way to enjoy my coffee on a Saturday morning! @9:07, what is the Makita model # for saw? Thank you!

[@VicTor-iq6so]

Отличная работа супер 👍, жалко что разбил стекло но я думаю это поправимо,жду продолжения.🤝🇺🇦

[@GeneralCucumbers]

Awesome!

[@keithparady2594]

Damn man you do very good work and the material looks amazing compared to what we have to build with here it’s all garbage lol

[@thegameandwatch2799]

Is all Japanese wood this nice?

[@therealdojj]

Think that's the first mistake I've seen you make 😮 But I don't think anyone would have expected that to happen 🤦

[@markreynolds7]

what kind of work pants are those? I like them, thanks!

[@RION-LANE]

wow

[@williamramser]

What is the make or manufacturer of your jointer/planer? Thank you

[@rappof]

Thank you Shoyan. Beautiful work as always. Are you using Shaku/Sun/Bu for measurements?

[@carlclayton7156]

I’m curious what model number is the tool you are using to cut the dados and rabbit with

[@frenchouillard]

For us to learn more. Who takes in charge the damage of the mistake you made with glass? Is there an insurance for that? Did the customer end up paying for that or you did?

[@davidadams007]

craftsmanship at its best. thank you for sharing your craft

[@madmanmapper]

You build a house like a piece of heirloom furniture.

[@lithuanianMD]

Don't need to leave gaps in between tongue and groove boards? It will swell and open up at the ends

[@michaeldegroot7550]

I do not understand something. When air from outside can flow through the walls than why do you insulate the walls? The insulation value will go down dramatically when cold air from outside can flow freely trough the walls. Very nice work, well done! 😀

[@jerrytrueblue]

Ouch!

[@WANDERER0070]

Why cover the roof sofit w boards,,the attic wont be able to breathe let air flow thru ? In Canada we use perforated aluminum or plastic for that

[@christianalvarez7799]

If Shoyan makes a mistake, there is no help for the rest of us.

[@franciscoandreatta5803]

How much does a makita circular saw in Japan cost? I would like to compare it with Argentina. Shalom from La Pampa, Argentina

[@lithuanianMD]

All of the wood looks straight, smooth and without knots. Wonder what is the price of it. Here you couldn't even buy that even if you offered a million, there's no such wood

[@ZenWithKen]

Opps. 🙂

[@eriklebeau3613]

Hello, question : can somebody give the model number of the Makita groove saw that Shoyan is using when he does the eave roof parts.

[@DumitruUrsu]

swallows are considered a good omen in Romania and Moldova, if they choose your house for building a nest, it will be a very lucky year for that household, and it will protect the house from natural disasters; they say if you break one of their nests, they will bring burning twigs and burn your house down. vengeful little bastards in the folk mythology 😅

[@johncamp7679]

I’d like to have a hammer like that one you have.

[@AE-wi5fh]

How much did that mistake cost?

[@ethannewbery540]

Does anyone know the nail guns that are being used? They are so quiet compared to anything I’ve used!

[@highsoap]

i find it interesting that many people find it interesting that a carpenter did an unconventional way to deal with something that is mostly made out of wood. 🤷

[@davethebarber3130]

👍👍

[@gaborhuszar4452]

I don't think it was a lazy move. It was more like an unfortunate one.

[@babthooka]

Arf!

[@timwrigley102]

Carpenters and sparrows cry in the eaves.

[@bevwilkerson4772]

👍🏻

[@mihaidaniliuc1001]

salut ,eu credeam că în Japonia nu-s 😂accidente la muncă .
