Japanese Carpenter’s Renovation - Making a Dangerous Staircase Safe

[@crapbage]

Its rare treat for me watching Japanese carpenter with English audio, arigato 🙏

[@tylerzmistowski5867]

I cannot believe you aren't proud to do work in the 99.9th percentile of the the world's carpenters with "old" tools. I'd be honored just to watch you work in person. I've never seen such care and pride in someone's work. This is truly emotionally moving to watch.

[@green_building]

Im agree that was a deep comment

[@BobbyBaloney]

I mean, he uses a lot of modern tools also : lasers, screws, power tools, but in combination with manual ones, and never in a detrimental way of the finish product. Great lesson here

[@dragade101]

@07:56 Buying and using newer tools vs tools that are 20+ years old; almost always I prefer the older tool. Even if its older than me. Maybe the older tool doesnt look shinny any more but I know the care and quality was put into older tools. The phrase "designed to fail" comes to mind when I’m looking at expensive new tools. You use it and then a few months or just a year after the warranty has expired, your brand new tool is needing a major rebuild or its completely junk. Specific that you have tools which are working and probably as old as me (or older), I respect that quality that was considered and would want future generations to inherit my tools, than having to buy something that only lasts a few years (at most).

[@dillpicklefig]

Absolutely agree. I'm a public monuments conservator so I don't work with wood often but mostly with masonry and bronze. Our shop has a mix of old and new tools and machinery and the old still works and operates as well as the day it was brought in with minimal upkeep. The newer stuff we do have is designed to fail. They may be sharper, more convenient, etc for a while but require constant maintenance, regular replacement of random small parts, and didn't really end up performing any better than the older tools. Unfortunately, manufacturing has become faster and cheaper over the years to prioritize profits. Old never means obsolete or ineffective!

[@wormo5096]

You are legend Shoyan. Wish I had your old groove cutter! It’s a beauty⚒

[@lennyf1957]

Craftsmanship like that is such a joy to watch.

[@hectorocasio3288]

Keep doing this never stop showing the world how things should be built

[@michael.h.bradley1865]

your groove cutter may be old but it is still an excellent working machine! Arigato

[@palgautefall3328]

im a carpenter from Norway and i always admire the Japanese way of carpentery. i find it relaxing and fun to watch. the work looks so nice ! good job !

[@diegovega6545]

[@TheDanrin]

I laugh so hard (in a good way) when the piano cameo came in! I thought you were just joking! what a good twist! man this is soooo good, beautiful work lovely song! couldn't ask for more!

[@user-hq4jw6ww7q]

🙏🙏👏👏👏👏wow sir.. You are doing ART...I'm amazed...I would learn from you..🙏🙏🙏thank you for sharing your masterpiece...

[@bobpomfret5679]

Great Craftsmanship and Soooo Good that you have been able to have a English Narrative Added to your Videos as no we can follow the work through your directives ! Many Thanks for this ! You are a Fantastic Tradesman ! Please keep up your Videos & Hopefully you'll reap the Rewards you so truly Deserve !! Regards from the UK

[@bradyhicks1110]

You are the definition of a craftsman!! Beautiful work, and your videos are so peaceful to watch!

[@maxgrey435]

You are a marvel Shoyan. The work you do and how you go about it, speaks a lot about your character! You must have lots of friends!!😊

[@bertorr7211]

An honour to witness and learn from a craftsman such as you.

[@warpatato]

Bro the shavings from the wood planer looks like bonito flakes. So satisfying.

[@LuckyDucky79]

Great craftsmanship.

[@WilliamAlanPhoto]

Thank you master!

[@kenc2257]

What a lovely new staircase. Much safer, and much more attractive.

[@Geceil]

The attentiveness to every single small little details is amazing. If I'm the client, I would really feel every cent paid is worth it and well spend! Thank you for sharing the value and pride of a craftsman!

[@kdtrimble]

I would agree if the job was priced up front. But if it's priced by the hour, no fucking way. Even though the Japanese do a great detail job, they move very slowly. Believe me, I have seen more than one of these carpenters in Japan.

[@Geceil]

@@kdtrimble yeah if its by the hour.. the amount would be huge!. But the amount of care and respect for your property is amazing! Guess professionalism pays in japan. I think minimum wage is a round 1,000 yen an hour.

[@HaxbyShed]

Fantastic to see this, awesome skill. Easy and relaxing to watch. Thank you for taking the trouble to post your video. どうもありがとうございます。

[@cgbaldwin]

universal health care and a great public transportation system have so many unseen advantages in a society that spends money on itself this way - an unhurried carpenter mastering his craft and taking his time to do proper work is just one -

[@matthewmoilanen2413]

Simply incredible! It's great to watch your patience and hard work create such a beautiful home.

[@grandpateal]

I would love to drink a beer with you and talk about carpentry for a couple hours. Love the videos you’re awesome.

[@samsammy9453]

Wow...I have built many stair cases however this is definitely the perfect way to build a staircase

[@matthewkantar5583]

Your old groove cutter is beautiful.

[@bobbowling2979]

such fine shavings with the hand plane, beautiful work

[@jaydee5447]

Ya, this dude is fantastic. This carpenters skill is on another level. I love Japanese carpentry, such pride, such attention to perfection and detail. I could watch Japanese carpentry all day. Especially this man.

[@benaxley2533]

I love the craftsmanship of Japanese carpentry. As a woodworker myself I can truly appreciate this.

[@jamescampbell7780]

Essential viewing. Stunning outcome!

[@DanBetta]

Thank you so much! I watched all your videos before you added the English subtitles and translation! Now with the translation, the amount I learn is overwhelming. ありがとうございました!

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Such a pleasure to watch the master, the attention to detail is outstanding, and you can see it in the finish.

[@bearwoodcraft3591]

Thing is you think this is normal you have no idea how hugely skilled you are it’s almost past a craft and becomes art

[@franconegroni432]

Great job, maestro! Your love for wood leads you to create masterpieces. I 'd like to spend all my free time looking at your work, if I could. We learn many things from your videos. Thank You! ARIGATO'.

[@juwright1949]

Absolutely amazing! Well done. 👍🏻

[@ndunguwanjenga4635]

Well done. I enjoyed watching it

[@mattcartwright8272]

Fantastic! Sugoi!

[@danchoyce7060]

Superb craftsmanship, the quality of the materials you have at your disposal shines through. What I find interesting is the how similar the methods of construction are both in Japan and UK, , However here in the UK we will whenever possible construct a staircase complete and then fit. In 38 yrs of Carpentry and Joinery I have made up stairs in situ only a handful of times, Also for marking out purposes rather than marking out treads and risers individually we make a " Pitch Board " saves a lot of time and helps eliminate errors. Your groove cutter looked a handy piece of kit , however for a non wedged tread like this I still prefer to make a jig and router the main out then finish by hand , Each to there own thanks again great post

[@nathanhazlehurst484]

Great work! Love your channel.

[@krcarpentry2610]

Years into carpentry I am now quitting soon to per-sue my goal in real estate but watching your videos makes this difficult as watching you work makes me fall in love with carpentry once again amazing work I know people that are making £320 a day and they are not one bit as good as you I’m myself am on £240 a day

[@green_building]

What 240 a day.. That was such a big wage

[@garethwatkins8854]

[@Ubi_Qui]

Really enjoying your channel! Hoping you can do a video where you run through your tools.

[@michaelcolgan3182]

''My groove cutter is old" interesting statement . I tried to find one online . They just don't make them anymore . They want us to use routers . I built stairs like that many times out of oak . You do beautiful work ! I have seen a lot of those badly designed staircases in New Jersey . That turn was an invitation to a busted behind.

[@green_building]

Yea the groove cutter is very useful.. i want one too 😂 is there any new brand that recreate this ?

[@poelmeister]

素晴らしい仕事。 よくやった、サー。
