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.

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.

[@RustyShackleford_]

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

[@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.

[@machstormrunner3130]

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

[@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.

[@juhaanttinen9031]

Awesome joinery! Greetings from Finland.

[@harrya7221]

Thank you for the translated video.

[@lohikarhu734]

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

[@radardoug]

Wow, very strong thumb!

[@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!

[@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.

[@harryfonseca7985]

あなたは素晴らしいアーティストです。 今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。 どうもありがとうございました！

[@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! :)

[@cousin_JACK]

I’m watching all these videos before I even build anything, the more I watch the more my designs change

[@cousin_JACK]

@@user-rv1ji3hp4u get behind me satan

[@Warkive]

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

[@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.

[@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👍

[@billhill3526]

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

[@hinenishema8990]

Very fun to watch. I also notice that it fits without a "test fit", very good layout.

Looks a lot like a scarf joint but done vertically.

[@didndido3638]

Incredible work! Nice of you to dub the videos. Extend my compliments to the master, please.

[@WilliamAlanPhoto]

Arigato!

[@bryanstellfox8521]

Dear sir, you DO work 15x faster!! ...15x faster than me!! Hahaha

[@gorantanaskovic6155]

Super

[@MrDhandley]

So the English scarfe joint is a variation of this. Both need to be sub millimeter accurate. Excellent.

[@simonmountford4291]

Wow 😮 check that circular saw 👍

[@vc6094]

Reminds me alittle about how we do it here up north

[@christianternstrom3958]

Love your videos and keep up the good work. What is the brand on your toolbelt

[@1961gfb]

Thanks fpr your beautiful video! One thing I dont understand is where is the angle you are talking about! I dont see it....

[@TheCbins]

SKILL!

[@BanquetesBanesa]

hello from M+exico good idea in inglish

[@mjpietro]

Arrigato! 🙂

[@timbarry5080]

I love that giant speedsquare/saw guide thing. Where do I get one?

[@toddschriver9924]

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?

[@SanderOpdam]

Beautiful work. I’m interested to know how long one part of a joint takes you to make?

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

Do these framing techniques work in a earthquake area? Love the precision here!

[@Afro408]

👏👏👏 You don’t want to work 15 times faster, because you would meet yourself coming the other way!! 🤣😅

[@donbell8187]

Sharp tools and sharp eyes!

[@user-ol6wm9fm4v]

What is the 90 degree circular saw guide with a handle are you using, that’s a great tool

[@connorleon]

Hello Shoyan, which chisel sizes do you have in your tool role at the beginning?

[@tjohnson4062]

I think traditional Japanese woodworking is marvelous, however it's obvious you use some power tools so why not a plunge router for most of the clearing?
