[@rodleger7132]

Love this mans work. The quality of the wood is outstanding. His tools are always sharp, especially his chisels.

[@memememe2674]

I am in the UK and recently found this channel. I would say, if guy is the typical japanese carpenter that they are the best in the world, so are their tools AND the timber. All are fantastic

[@davetaylor4741]

Japanese blades. Best in the world. I am a Carpenter and bought a Japanese saw. Struggle with the pull cut. I also see you pull the plane as well. Your sharpening is very impressive. Those plane ribbons. WOW. Japan is known for its craftsmen and you fit into that category. Joy to watch.

[@JB-fn9lb]

The quality of the wood he uses is absolutely amazing. We can only dream of materials like that here in the States. Even the sheet materials used in other episodes is on another level. If we had access to materials of that quality it would be so astronomically expensive we couldn’t afford to even look at it on the store’s shelves let alone buy it. I'm a furniture and cabinet guy myself (I should say I’m a lifelong hobbyist and not a professional) and I think this guy's rough-in, and framing work is better than even the best finish work you typically see. I love seeing all the Japanese methods and techniques. Amazingly sharp saw blades and chisels. I enjoy seeing all the fascinating tools that we’re not used to in our area. I even enjoy learning the names and words you are teaching us. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work.... P.s., I noticed all the Imperial rulers and tape measure markings??? Best Regards,

[@rosstafarian24]

Agreed. Just the wood he uses itself is awe inspiring. Here in the US there's no way unless you are cutting down trees and processing the timber yourself.

[@daneo617]

The lumber is impressive but to say the States don't have access to this quality of lumber is laughable. I've been building homes for over 25 years in the US. I'd get fired if I used a stair post with that many knots in it & didn't use dowels or biscuits on the joinery.😂

[@rosstafarian24]

@@daneo617 where do you get quality lumber?

[@TrustNotta]

I wish I knew half of what this man has forgotten over the years when it comes to woodworking and joinery. Always impressed watching him do his thing. Great work as always.

[@ronbuckner8179]

If your in America you probably don't. His ways are superior for sure, but they won't pass our building codes.

[@ashc5728]

That Timber looks amazing - looks incredibly straight

[@jecht34]

I'm an East coast carpenter in the states. We rely so much on mechanical attachments in framing- this is beautiful to see how jointery is used at all levels over there.

[@flyboy2610]

It's always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work!

[@marin4311]

Such Japanese craftsmen contribute to the excellent reputation of their country by the superior quality of their work.

[@maxgrey435]

Good job Shoyan. Your grandchildren must love having you around!!!!!!You'd have lots to teach them - even carpentry!😄

[@williambrown6967]

I love the precision and attention to detail. A true craftsman at work!

[@juzzybassgrove4354]

I love this man’s workmanship

[@BrianMunger-z6v]

I wish the man that’s doing the carpentry would do the speaking. Also there’s a lot of measurements that were not getting but thank you for your program. It’s very interesting and I used to help people build homes and I’m picking up a lot of information I never knew how to do, and some of your machinery you haveI’ve never seen before maybe because I don’t have all the money a lot of people do have, but other than that you’ve got a great program. Thank you so much and the carpenter should be honoured for his work.

[@donaldadams5342]

It would be impossible to improve on the skill & craftsmanship you display in your work Shoyan. All Carpenters around the world should be taught by you my friend, then we would not have shoddy tradesmen. Well done so relaxing to watch you in action. I have a LOT of your videos to catch up on viewing since discovering your channel. One of the BEST 'finds' I have ever made. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

Work can be outstanding when masters are given the time to do it properly

Impressive as always 👏🏼👍🏼

[@rodyoakum1194]

Your Master carpenter Sir Thank You For Your Video

[@LuisGonzalez-kx5wo]

Domo Arigato! Thank you so much for shearing your craftmanship watching your skills are time well spent, congratulations!

[@1959rossco]

That is a work of art you are a very clever fellow

[@johnhorner5711]

I'm fascinated watching the way you work. The extensive use of wood joinery is so different from typical US practice. I've also never seen that machine you used to make groves in the stair treads. Here we would grab a router for that task, but your way looks better. It is also amazing to see construction without a nail gun in sight! Awesome.

[@dennismacwilliams196]

I love the planer item your using. I've never seen anything like it. I'm here in the USA in New York. Very good video Thank you

[@lantapaukku7629]

Amazingly beautiful pinewood. And the perfection of work...

[@erichermann7553]

My friend u r some special carpenter u r a magician I did lot of wood work my self but I never came across that special little planet like a hand planer but lot faster I’m a German born carpenter now I live in USA 🇺🇸 for long long time blessings to u

[@helmutzollner5496]

Beautiful workmanship. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

[@АлексейК-ф9к]

Спасибо!

[@spdaltid]

Wow, thank you for that. Outstanding craftsmanship. I have an older house in Hokkaido with a similar pine staircase - so now I maybe have some insight into how it could have been constructed...👍

[@1953lili]

You are a master carpenter sir! Wonderful job! When in Japan with my students in 1999 I was so impressed with the building skills of contemporary and ancient carpenters. I had trouble climbing stairs in the castles being a large American with big feet since the treads were vertical; the opposite of stair construction in the west. I was fascinated when walking on nightingale floors (Uguisu-bari) in Nijo Castle which “chirped” when walked on! How very clever of ancient craftsmen to equip the palace with a ninja warning system!

[@jeannetteellis2034]

Absolutely amazing work! Thank you for sharing!!

Hello my name is David, I am a carpenter myself, and it seems so Japanese Carbon tree is about the same but I like your style and it seems as though it's more simplicity which is good.

[@percsone]

beautiful timber!

Hello Sir love your work what is the name of the handsaw you use thanks

[@slauzel]

What is this tool you are using at 17:14? What is it called? Beautiful work. I really appreciate your attention to detail and beauty. Thanks for sharing

[@snowsurfr]

I once built a custom gate for an architect using kiln-dried knotty cedar 2x6, counter-sunk stainless-steel screws and hand-chamfered edges, sanded to a the smoothness of glass paying careful attention to the grain patterns of each board ensuring they flowed together like waves in a sandy sea floor. It was an an absolute masterpiece. Then he had some lowball hit team paint it. They didn’t even attempt to sand or prime it even though it was obviously extremely smooth-finished bare wood. The paint began to peel because the wood surface was so smooth and perfect. 😂

[@romanrrr4131]

Мастер! У Вас инструменты розового цвета это любимый цвет?

[@franklinhayes8673]

The Japanese take pride in their lumber. Does not look like Home Depot’s twisted, bent, full of knots with black ink stamped every 5 inches on it.

[@geraldpratt5252]

Wow!

[@Oldiesyoungies]

cool!

[@reddpanda7240]

Oh boy. That planer is just waiting for a nice meal of fingers.

[@salc9593]

Beautiful workmanship, Extreme eye for detail. I would like to ask how thick is the wood used for the steps.

[@Paultimate7]

Looks like 2 inches or 5 cm

[@dogf4ther]

whats that tools used for making anti slip and groove for riser. looks epic if works in japan it will in nz

[@BigSnapper]

I feel like less of a Carpenter after watching this....

[@ДмитрийПрокофьев-л4п]

Beautiful work. What is the correct name of the machine for 1m 55s?

[@mckiepstein]

Super surfacer. Made by marunaka, hitachi, and others. Rare as hens teeth, outside of japan.

[@americanmade6996]

Wait--those planers come in a benchtop model??

[@mckiepstein]

Yeah that was cool.

[@dschusteen]

Hi. Where do you find the second small planer for sale?

[@Noddles320]

非常に少ないツールで複雑な作業を達成し、素晴らしい結果を生み出すようです。木工の初心者として、そのような偉大さを達成するためにしなければならない一連のツールは何ですか?経験は別として。

[@dwergmaster]

Thank you for a wonderful video. Question; is there no need to use glue clamps to press the pieces together when bonding?

[@rummy98]

Looks like he screwed them together after applying the glue.

[@dwergmaster]

@@rummy98 yep noticed it, but that is quite little pressure applied compared to a number of strong clamps

[@mykalyu]

@@dwergmaster if your surfaces are jointed and true to each other then not really. Its not like glue is activated by pressure. Unless you're worried the expanding glue would push open the joint. In which I'm pretty sure those screws are exerting orders of magnitude more pressure. Also this is only a hunch... but I'm pretty sure those impact driven screws exert more clamping pressure than conventional clamps. You probably lose some pressure at the middle since they're at the ends, but again that's where perfectly jointing the surfaces probably makes that a non-issue.

[@dwergmaster]

@@mykalyu Thanks for the elaborate reply!

[@ronbuckner8179]

I sure wish we could build the way he does. It just makes sense.

[@anbucleric]

Anybody know the brand of driver bits he is using? It looks like double sided impact bits but I'm not seeing any with a yellow/gold shaft.

[@benjaminscholten]

Where is the beautiful lumber from?

[@marshalldavidson2639]

what is the name of the machine used at 2:00 minutes? beautiful work

[@spacecowboy2k]

…the speed at which he freehand traces those arcs at 4:28 O_o

[@tonywwp]

He really likes using his hands as a glue applicator

[@williammarkhart7047]

WOW!
