Japanese woodworking - Straight Staircase Installation

This video is a continuation of the last video. I'll make the straight staircases this time. To use natural wood materials, there are a lot of things to do, so it takes a long time. But I like this work. Wood grain of pine material for this staircase is very beautiful.

Japanese woodworkers in my opinion is the best in the world... Thank you for sharing this video...

[@johannesmyklebust6233]

My god, what I learn from you. You are truly an amazing carpenter. I am currently building my own house in Trondheim (Norway) and your skills, and how you share them are priceless. Thank you so much. Johannes

[@Ah_Bo]

Add a groove on the tread's top face to make it less slippery. What a genius idea! I am going to do the same in my stair renovation. ありがとう、Shoyanさん。

[@trisha66411]

Dear sir, I have to tell you that that staircase is absolutely breathtaking!!!! I can only pray that I can gain at some point in my life even a small portion of the wisdom and craftsmanship that you have!!! Again, your work is magnificent!!! God bless you!!!

[@arkansas1336]

These are beautiful stairs, and above average of what most US carpenters are capable of. Hopefully a younger generation will learn this and carry on the traditional housed stringer staircases. The work is so satisfying.

I’d love to read more about the reasoning behind the dowels only on the top riser board. I think that’s super interesting

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

I don't have the words to describe his work?

[@oliverwashburn5496]

Thank you for this:)

[@lynxg4641]

Such a stark contrast to if this was being done in the US, actual real craftsmanship and joinery vs slapped together with construction adhesive and nails, then covered up with paint and/or carpet. The one thing that has me a bit puzzled is that you seem to have permanently fixed the boards allowing for no wood movements/expansion as humidity changes with the seasons, is this because this will be an AC'd building, so humidity won't change much or is the kiln dried lumber that much more stable? Doesn't sound it from your description of the wood actually moving and needing to be planed just sitting in the building waiting to be used.

[@tedburns5086]

I love these videos, but I have a question. Where can you buy the small adjustable supports that you use with the miter saw?

[@theJonnymac]

what is the handheld machine that cuts the grooves in stringers?

[@satertt]

wonder how much this house will cost

[@kanjyro]

what is the name of that rotary chisel tool you are using to rough out the cuts?

[@joepiker]

I really like the groove-cutting saw you used.Who makes that tool? Do you think they are still available? In the U.S.A.?

[@GamerOner2H]

It's an electrical plane I guess.

[@Londonman564]

Like a circular saw with a router blade

[@zaknefain100]

Makita makes one. Check out for instance, Makita 3803A.. but don't expect one to be cheap. Probably hard to justify unless you do this type of work professionally. Could always use a plunge router and spherical bit.

[@arkansas1336]

@@zaknefain100...Yes, a router will do all of the things this tool can.

[@theJonnymac]

what is the hand held machine you used to cut the grooves for the steps?

[@craigpurser54]

Are most houses in Japan built this sturdy? I am guessing if they are, it's because of hurricanes and earthquakes?

[@NSResponder]

Very common in the USA for a staircase to have 13 risers. It's something we're not superstitious about.

[@souhbilel8154]

عمل جيد

[@johnjohnson7923]

What is the name and type of the power machine, that you use for cutting grooves?

What dimensional boards is he using for the stringers?

[@davidmunoz2722]

Por favor, subtitulos en español, gracias.

One version of the groove cutting tool seems to be the Makita 3803A.

In my job as an electrician, we had something like the “bakabo” that we called the “stupid stick.” It was called that as even an idiot could install all electrical boxes at the correct height using it.

[@goodgod8055]

[@gary24752]

Why install the stairs prior to installing the wall finish? Why not use a router with a jig and finish with the chisel to do the stringers rather than the saw?

[@bluewanderer9903]

Very nice. Will they squeek in few years time, can water be applied again? Thank you

[@kevinkeenan1368]

Squeaking is usually caused by wood moving against a fastener. Usually nails will cause squeaking since they have low pullout strength. This method of dado joinery reinforced with screws and wood glue is almost a guarantee that this staircase will last for generations as long as the house stays in good shape and is properly cared for. 🙏🏻

[@bluewanderer9903]

@@kevinkeenan1368 our stairs are made like or similar to this, routed into side boards, however the only connection between treads and risers are nails(strangest looking nails ever, square edges and one sided heads, very hard to pull out but have no holding power at all) with mitered timber blocks under, no dados. I have never seen a staircase that doesnt squeak ever. Also, timber boards used arent as thick as boards used in this video and they sure dont look good as this beautiful masterpiece, they usually have carpet and underlay on them. I have tried fixing squeaks on several staircases with screws and timber blocks under but that is always seems to be a short term solution. So you think if I build something like this (thicknes, screw, dados etc) I would have squeak proof staircase? Thank you.

[@musicbro8225]

@@bluewanderer9903 Don't forget the glue!

[@arkansas1336]

@@bluewanderer9903...These stairs are built with a housed stringer. I've built many of them and loved the finished results each time. I used 2 X 12's #1 dense grain SYP as the stringer (milled on a planer to 1 3/8" thickness and 10 7/8"-11" wide. These dimension usually get rid of all the manufacturers' planed radius edges of the boards. Smaller dimensions can be used if the boards are cupped or need to be straightened). They require a lot of time, maybe 2-6 weeks to construct, depending on their complexity. Also The #1 dense specification is expensive but it usually has very few knots or at least only small ones. Fir lumber of the same spec as the SYP also makes a beautiful staircase! Squeaking stair treads can be corrected it the housed stringer (like this carpenter used) is dadoed into the stringer ON AN ANGLE at the lower edge 1/4"-3/8" wider on the back side of the risers and the same on the bottom side of the tread and a wedge is driven in to hold the risers and treads to great tightness. When a new squeak is noticed go under the stair case and drive the wedges tighter. After a few years (20-40) of tightening the wedges most stairs cease to squeak or squeak only one or two treads every 20+ years. Use wood screws and only use wood glue on the ends of the riser and tread boards for sealing the ends against moisure but not for holding power. Remember the wedges and screws take care of ALL of the holding. NOTE)..There are images on the internet of the dadoes cut into stringers that I tried to describe. I'm an old guy with 50+ years experience in construction. I've been there and done a lot of things....but still looking for new challenges.

[@rojerjula5824]

In the old days, people were superstitious of having a staircase built in odd number of steps like 13, 15, 17 or so forth. This is happening not just in Japan, but many other Asian countries believe in that as well. Sorry I have no idea why it's like that.

[@eugene9294]

What is the slope and height of the stairs?

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Oh my goodness the difference in quality levels between Japan and Australia is laughable!!! Even their wall studs look better than it furniture grade pine

[@siggychaloupka7330]

Lesson #1: Never 13 steps. We should all hate stairs with 13 steps.

[@ReaghNetwork]

You should all hate reasons to hate. 13 steps are beautiful

[@Jungleland33]

13 only freaks Christians out.

[@jayejaycurry5485]

The fact that the Knights Templar were arrested, tortured to extract confessions of heresy, and then burned at the stake on Friday the 13th; it has nothing to do with steps, even gallows built with 13 steps.

[@arkansas1336]

@Siggy Chaloupka...There are 3 bacis rules for designing and constructing safe and comfortable stairs. Not accepting 13 steps in a staircase is not a part of any of these rules!😄
