Japanese woodworking - Making a Timber Joint by Hand

In this video, I'll make the timber joint called "okkakedaisen-tsugi" This time, I'll use the maximum size of timber for this joint. It takes a lot of efforts to make this joint. I feel fun when I drive in dowels into this joint.

Gorgeous. A subtle thing is the additional pressure of fashioning a single joint for hours knowing a minor miscut requiring a new piece of lumber is several hundred thousand yen (thousands of dollars). It takes a special version of professionalism to do that for 40+ years.

[@brentprosser7293]

European timber framing has some incredibly strong joints......but Japanese timber framing is just as strong while still being a touch more elegant looking. So fascinating to watch a master craftsman at work. In the old days, only an apprentice could ever see this type of work up close. Thank you Shoyan.

[@johnsrabe]

I love how this series has changed my preconception of Japanese carpenters. The picture your usually get on KZbin is someone who works only with traditional tools, and only builds tables and temples. Not somebody who uses a smart mix of power tools and hand tools. Thank you.

[@hughfryer3813]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Uswesi1527]

Undoubtedly, but, definitely, making accurate ,, precise , effective, and strong joint is a unique art , skill , technology, and professionalism.

[@RustyShackleford_]

"My thumb has gotten stronger by being hit for 48 years." A true carpenter lmao

[@warnerbasement1628]

Wow. The blend of modern and traditional tool use here is phenomenal. All carpenters have a deadline and need speed and efficiency but you don't have to abandon excellent craftsmanship to get there. You just have to know when and where to use tools for precision and tools for speed and areas where precision isn't essential and efficiency is. Your mastery in all of those aspects and understanding is astonishing. Thank you.

[@lohikarhu734]

Very cool to see the combined use of modern tools with "normal" tools!

[@harrya7221]

Thank you for the translated video.

[@TheJacrespo]

It is a rare privilege and luxury that a top Japanese master carpenter publicly shares this treasure of wisdom and artwork from his long-time experience. Shoyan, domo arigato gozaimashita!

[@yung_calibri]

Thank you for sharing this with us. It's wonderful to see father and son working together to preserve this knowledge.

[@benzo245]

That smile at 10.56 made my day! It is so nice to see that after 48+ years you still have so much passion and love for your work!

[@radardoug]

Wow, very strong thumb!

[@scottnever8732]

彼の工芸品の真のマスター、共有してくれてありがとう。

[@bobcougar77]

I've always wanted to try one of these joints. I think I'll start with a 2x4.

[@DMSparky]

This is my favourite channel on all of KZbin! I appreciate your craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing! 🇨🇦

[@GiveMeCoffee]

10:30 was such a satisfying moment, I was surprised by how it started to slide into place! The long experience and precise work is shown in this video.

[@JarlSeamus]

I LOVE this channel. The fusion of contemporary and traditional woodworking techniques brings me so much joy!

[@billhill3526]

The simplest way is to get a longer piece of wood, I think. Love the awesome woodworking skills. Japanese woodwork is admirable.

[@venomdust1]

Watching a true craftsman at work brings me a lot of joy and calmness at the end of the day. Thank you from Hawaii👍

[@F74D3N8r0T]

I give up. To gather all the tools needed alone I will have to fly to Japan and raid several carpenters..... But even if I had those tools I'll never know how to gather the knowledge and experience this skilled master has in my entire life. Astonishing.

[@jagtan13]

just hire a blacksmith!

[@xl000]

don't be ridiculous There is nothing particularly difficult about what he's doing It's just a half lap joint with 2 lips so that it stays straight. I've reinvented some japanese joints many times without knowing it, because every joint is basically removing half of the wood on piece A and half of wood on piece B on the intersection volume.

[@samad419]

100% if I had money, I would fly him to america to build me a house. I have never seen such quality and attention to details on american homes. I will be watching all your videos! :)

[@machstormrunner3130]

Can I come visit for a month and sweep your shop? Just let me watch you work until I get it down. Wow.

[@imranh5395]

You are a MASTER craftsman. You make it look so easy! Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻

[@bairnonessie]

Great to see someone with so much experience still hits their thumb every now and then &)

[@jamesscott3120]

Thank you for creating this video..

[@lsanderson40]

Amazing - thank you for sharing this beautiful joint and craftsmanship.

[@hughfryer3813]

The skill with which you cut the joint clearly showed when you joined the two timbers. Very well done. It has been a pleasure to watch you.

[@danielmalcomson1629]

that was so satisfying

[@Warkive]

I'm still in awe those dowel holes he cut lined up perfectly.

[@robertcookjr6100]

I will never be able to do that job. You are so talented. I wish I had a teacher like you 😅 I love carpeting but I don't even can to cut a straight line 😅

[@alanwilliamson2259]

Excellent job ! merci pour la vidéo !

[@gorantanaskovic6155]

Thank you

[@donaldadams5342]

A truly amazing exhibition of Japanese craftsmanship at its best. I have never seen anything like this & it looks SO much stronger than butting two pieces of timber together then hammering in metal plates which is what I see all the time. The way you 'weld' traditional Japanese hand tools & more modern power tools is just mesmerising. It is just SUCH A PLEASURE to watch you apply your enormous skills & the verbal translation that you have done to help us understand exactly what you are doing & why you are doing it. Thanks for sharing this with us Shoyan. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

In western woodworking, we have a tool called 'Router Plane' that might speed up that chisel work and make it a little more precise. Have you seen this tool?

[@gorantanaskovic6155]
