Anyone else in the US surprised by the incredible quality of Japanese construction lumber?

[@gardnerwriteradventurer]

At least in usa the lumber can be called lumber . U should see india

[@xpkareem]

Yes. I think you can find high quality lumber in the US but you gotta be in the know. Also he has amazing tools and amazing skills which helps make it look even better. If you gave me that same lumber it would probably end up looking like I bought it at Home Depot fire sale. ;)

[@nathanmarineau3993]

He didn't get that lumber from Home Depot...

[@forgottenman8629]

@@nathanmarineau3993 no he didn't, it came from Canada or the US West Coast, Japanese have a love affair with Doug fir vertical grain...

[@davidwarren4569]

I think the Japanese keep all their timber. No exports.

[@jasonhelmes3015]

Such straight lines there really is so much beauty hidden in simplicity

You have inspired me to make one for my home. Mine will only be eight feet long and constructed out of redwood, Thank you for being you.

The amount of Experience in his work become visible in how he handles big tools. I’m a furniture maker by trade, and seeing this guy swinging around that huge circle saw is a pleasure

Never knew they made such small super surfacers, would love one in my shop

[@oktuluo]

Was that the Ryobi scraper tool?

[@michael.knight]

@@oktuluo No, it's the machine that creates shavings like a hand plane. If you google Super Surfacer you'll find the bigger version of it.

[@timgoodliffe]

i much prefer videos like this to your usual house building videos, thank you

[@kevinstanton2663]

It is indeed beautiful and built by a master . Please don't retire or stop making videos . Your ability and attitude to perfection is a lesson for any up and coming person wanting to work with wood . I saw a prayer above a wood work shop which read " May people who don't work with wood find something else that's just as good " I am sure you agree ? I have worked with wood all my life and envy your ability . My praise is heart felt .

[@michaelbenson2024]

The Love of labor and Wood has a new home. Excellent Craftsmanship

[@dconvention8568]

Emperor Shoyan! Today you asked for subscribers. Today I subscribed. I’m addicted to your content: your craftsmanship, professionalism and patience are rarely found qualities in the 21st century. I discovered your KZbin channel around last December while doing research on a variety of topics related to carpentry, hand tools and power tools. My objective is to build a range of simple, furniture with clean lines for home. The furniture must maximize space - nesting desks, tables and benches and discretely hide furniture when not in use during the day. Discovering your KZbin channel is dangerously intoxicating. A beginner like me can easily acquire a false sense of confidence after watching you. You make things look so effortless; and that’s the danger. The most talented people, regardless of profession, make the difficult look easy. Think I’ve watched virtually all of your English channel content. Can’t wait for your next video, Emperor, Shoyan! All the best from beautiful Vancouver, Canada!
