Building a Back-Country Storage Shed with Batten and 3,000 Nails [Carpentry Process Part 1]

[@deanaf]

This storage shed is better built than most houses. This is a true art form.

[@raycarter4030]

when your man cut that piece of cladding cedar for around the window and fitted it, I actually applauded.

[@johnkristoff2341]

It is a privilege watching you at work. Thank you very much. I am 86 years of age and learn so much from you. Again, many thanks.

[@wasrados]

Hello! If I ever get rich enough, you'll be the first person I ask to build my own house!!! i love your work!!! greetings from Poland!!!!

[@MusicList-rl9yu]

Beauty. Precision. Skilled. Art. Thank you for the craftsman storage shed. Your work is art at its finest.

What a treat for a Friday - A new video from our favourite Japanese carpenter!

[@bchdsailor]

Japanese carpentry skills are just impressing

[@DiHandley]

You’ve got to admit that the skill factor is incredible. So accurate.

[@ZSznwk0w]

i am a carpenter but shoya is the best carpenter in the world i have ever seen

[@buryzenek002]

That shed looks gorgeous. I work mostly with furnitures but I really enjoy a construction carpentry and your projects never disappoint me 👍

[@terrytopliss9506]

Lovely woodworking Shoyan, thank you for the video.👍👍

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Hi, I just love watching true craftsmanship. You can tell buy the quality of the work. I'm looking forward to the inside. Cheers

[@leebrammall7009]

Another topnotch project from the Master Carpenter Shoyan

[@krenwregget7667]

very interesting and great job. Here in Canada, I've installed board and batten walls with a narrow crown, pneumatic stapler. I don't think I've seen anyone hand nail like this.

[@acemany1126]

I will be contacting Shoya to ask him to do a show in America. He is a true Craftsman of Craftsmen.

[@dr.johannesmunch891]

Using the shadow to drill straight and in plumb! Cool

[@HungNguyen-PDX]

I'm from Oregon. And I got really excited when you mentioned Oregon pine. Haha I wonder if still type of siding will work for our 9 months rain season

Such beautiful work! I am so happy to see the use of a sill seal to protect the sills from the moisture of the concrete!

wow just like that a whole shed. absolutely amazing job! very clean design

I did a 10ftx20ft but it wasn't nearly this beautiful. and yea. if i had to do it all again i'm renting some scaffolding

[@guyvangenechten6484]

Very very nice work as always 👌👍💯

We need a 2 hour version of this build 😅

[@hunterfulghum7170]

Shoyan, beautiful work as always. I admire your process and methods. I always learn something from your videos. Thank you!

[@bilbottles1339]

Thanks, Shoyan - the shed is amazing. Japanese timber is so beautiful, and your construction is educational to watch

[@scottperine8027]

It’s a great blessing to have you in our lives,your consummate skills and love for carpentry shine through brightly.

[@davidbishop4015]

Remarkable construction. I enjoyed this video and look forward to seeing the inside installation. Stay safe.

[@ToddAndelin]

Japanese carpenters are the best on the planet. They have unmatched design skills and an eye for beauty, and then perfect completion techniques...

[@dezmondw7927]

Thx for the new release Shoyan! 👏

As a carpenter in the states I really impressed at how skilled your craftsman are! Maybe a show on your sub contractors ? Electricians , plumbers, roofers? I would enjoy meeting them?

I have 1 complaint. That I have to wait for the second part!

[@donaldadams5342]

Your skill & artistry are so very evident in this build as well as your attention to detail. This storage shed is going to stand for an exceedingly long time unlike many houses I have seen literally 'thrown together'. Love your work, cheers, Don from South Aust.

[@jrwolf2618]

simply amazing

[@garyedwards5322]

He's my favorite carpenter!

[@Bill53AD]

What a beautiful building. I love the frame method you use; it is a more elegant looking form. What is the very thin sheet material nailed on the roof planks under the metal roof? Are you working on the temple? My time in Japan I found the temple construction to be interesting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@seinundzeiten]

wow he is a good carpenter, are there many master-level carpenters like him in Japan?

[@sverdson]

Merci pour la vidéo !

[@robdavy4468]

So cool to watch! Questions though if anyone knows... 1) is all the wood precut by a robot in a factory somewhere? 2) the black adjustable supports under the floor joists, are they plastic? I assume they're strong enough, but interesting to see 3) the fireproof boards, in North America we only use fireproofing to protect one compartment in a building from another, so we'd never use it on a small building like this. Why is it there in this situation? Thanks in advance!

[@DgR1716]

Absolutely awesome 👍👌

[@benaxley2533]

Excellent work as always

[@quietfarm3854]

Master Shoyan is a ryobi enthusiast, I see.

[@NextLevelCraftworks]

Great work! I cant believe you do most of your cuts with a hand saw. It must take much longer to do that

[@lukeblankenship8424]

Seeing those clear cedar boards stacked up is like seeing a pile of gold stacked up🤣

Hello Shoyan Japanese Carpenter, I'm a young french carpenter. I really like your work and your videos. I saw your square at 16:33 and i'd really like to know the exact name of the tool or where I could provide myself one. Thank you very much. Keep doing good work !

[@HazItMade]

Do you use stainless steel nails so they don't rust and make black spots on the cedar? Love watching your work and truly admire your skill set. Arigato, Shoyan-san!

[@K2gjbcfcvjbv]

Thank you! An other amazing example. How is the joint called at 3:17 at the end of the beam? And more interesting which machine is used to do the had curved circle? Thank you sir!

[@Visigoth_]

I prefer Japanese carpentry (it's so much cleaner). 🤔

[@raycarter4030]

i wish i were Japanese, so I could live in Japan, with just Japanese people.

[@NeilSoulo]

Please list some of the tools you use along with possible sources to purchase them.

[@NeilSoulo]

Shawn, Thanks for your response. I was mainly interested in his chisels and his framing square. It's difficult to determine if chisels sold as Japanese are genuine and of good quality. As for framing squares, many of them seem to be made in China and have a lot of bad reviews.

[@birphon]

Edit: If only I commented at the end. You mentioned it was for a Crawl Space and so then I could google about it. For some reason my earlier googling didn't result in this information! Hi there! Hope someone can answer my question but I have seen a number of times with Japan building houses that they have their foundations like this, where the edges of each room seem to be raised up leaving a hallow middle. Is there a reason for this? Most of the western world (i guess) has flat pads for their foundations.

[@bodhiroether3395]

What is that white chalk line you used?!

[@mrln247]

I enjoyed the comment on how many knots where in the wood from Oregon. Not having access to Japanese quality timber this is what a lot of the rest of the world has to put up with and worse.

[@greeneaglz2573]

Great video, English pronunciation is great (just one correction : the word iron is pronounced "ion" as the r is silent). Fascinating to watch, thanks for sharing.

[@jamesmac8424]

I believe he pronounced iron correctly, as the r is not silent. Ion is a different word entirely.

[@greeneaglz2573]

@@jamesmac8424 british pronounce it ion, americans iern/iuun but never iron.

[@pihermoso11]

How would you differentiate iron from ion if the r is silent? NASA is developing a new ion engine for rocket propulsion, if talking about physics and chemistry, ion and iron must be pronounced different to avoid confusion

[@mrln247]

@@greeneaglz2573 As a Brit I definitely pronounce Ion differently to Iron, however it is more subtle than some of the American english versions. It will depend on what your ear is tuned into. The r is not silent but it has become mushed into a different sound as an ir sound not a i sound. Quite happy with the translator to have a Japanese accent with some words, thats just how the world is.

Is there any reason for battens extending and not being cut flush, just aesthetics?

Just a guess but I think water would drip off, while if it were flush, it might wick up into the crack. But that's just my feeling.
