Japanese Woodworking - Woodshed: How to Build it

[@WilliamAlanPhoto]

I genuinely appreciate these English versions. Arigato!

[@TheEightfoldPath_]

I hope I don't come off rude when saying that this is probably the most overengineered wood shed I've ever seen, and I love it. The craftmanship is just phenomenal and is probably sturdier than the building behind it.

[@franklee2683]

Agreed. He says at the end "you can stack firewood in this shed for one year.". Wait....what? It will last 20 years...

[@sakumar]

@@franklee2683 He means the capacity of the woodshed is one year's worth of wood.

[@Felipera_]

@@sakumar he said 1 winter

[@ejohnst4]

You don't need wood in the summer ​@@Felipera_

[@guyprolly]

That Ari maker blew me away.

[@alexanderjamieson7971]

That woodshed is built better than many American houses. Excellent work.

[@cornflake73]

When I saw the chainsaw come out, I knew Shoyan was getting serious. This is a great channel and hope that it continues to the next build.

[@Timothylaing]

Best woodshed ever

[@matthewharry2803]

That 4 blade tenoner is a beast!

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Beautiful craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing this with us, and making English translation. You are a true master of the art of woodworking.

[@nat.1998]

Most beautiful wood shed I have seen. Thank you for sharing. You are an expert craftsman. Japanese quality is so high.

[@mmanut]

FANCIEST WOOD SHED I'VE EVER SEEN ‼️ BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL ‼️ THOROUGHLY ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL ‼️ THANK YOU ‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@crm.carpentry]

Thank-you for taking the time to do these videos and especially the English versions! I could watch these all day long!! Very skilled and I learn alot! Wish I could get hold of the Cyprus timber! It looks lovely wood to work with

[@jeffdyrland2795]

I agree! That Japanese cypress is beautiful!

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

Craftsmanship at a high level!

[@Bga1412]

It is absolutely amazing to watch a master such as yourself work. You have furniture grade joinery and finishing. For something that will be outside and store wood.

[@tompearce6312]

It's great that you show the Japanese characters for some of the tools!

[@ColinPClark]

I would love plans for many of the things you build. I would pay for plans for this woodshed as I need one for my fachwerkhaus in Germany-it would match beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing your artistry and mastery with us, I learn something every time I watch.

[@ItzCoopzFtw]

I always enjoy seeing Japanese joinery. And that's the most elegant woodshed I've ever seen.

[@Magicmike12345]

Beautiful and well-crafted. Thank you for sharing brother. 😊😊

[@NSResponder]

Excellent craftsmanship. Bravo!

[@terrytopliss9506]

Loved seeing your specialised tools in your workshop Shoyan.👍👍

[@davidsneddon2242]

Shoyan you are a master craftsman, but after 50 years you know that, my point is I believe, although this is an outside wood store you could not have built it with any less than the highest skill and finish. You are amazing 👍

[@groundspeed3954]

Masterful. An artisan at work.

[@kevinlucas8437]

Beautiful wood shed !! Love the joinery you used to make it sturdy yet elegant !!

[@juwright1949]

That is an amazing wood shed! Well done. 👍🏻

[@ronjennings7533]

Your skill and precision are a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing them with us!

[@williamweatherall8333]

Doing that in 4 days is really impressive! Nice work

[@AndyBadalamenti]

I thoroughly enjoy watching skilled people, like this gentleman. Just watching is a fantastic lesson in woodworking.

[@SuddenSpark]

Fantastic work! The essential combination of skill, experience and a big hammer. Awesome! 🙇‍♂️

[@Robert-es9lc]

I’ve never had any firewood nice enough to put in a shed like that! Beautiful.

[@shaunburke]

I can honestly say that that tenon saw is the scariest tool I have ever seen 😀😀

[@U812-k7j]

That thing is built like a tank great job!

[@chrisgordon1462]

Thank you so much for showing us your building techniques. The finished product looks fantastic.

[@RobRobertson1000]

Shoyan, you are a delight to watch. Such professional work and you are such an engaging character too.

[@bryangrimshaw5607]

magnificent work - and i wish we could get those amazing power tools where i live.

[@danastewart3091]

Wow, what a craftsman. Beautiful work.

[@georgehirsch9152]

I really enjoy watching your methods of building. It is different here in the U.S. Your work is beautiful!. And I would love to see a video about your shop and all the tools you use. They are fascinating.

[@michaellee8198]

You have introduced an elegance to such an ordinary wood store. I have enjoyed all your videos so far. Thank you.

[@garryevans3594]

all ways impressed with wood work

[@starzkee1]

Amazing...beautiful wood

[@DialecticDeveloper]

Thank you. Great point about not rusting. Amazing machinery to help but still a lot of work.

[@mpccenturion]

Thank you! I have large cedars growing now. And some repair to do on a small cabin. The attention to detail leads me to consider merging my skills with your craft. No - This is art! Gorgeous and useful! Cheers!

[@AceNos71]

Looks so simple and it's so beautiful!

[@clarkstone-bear7742]

I absolutely love your channel. The work that is done here always turns out beautiful and its very informative. I'm glad I found you. Have a wonderful day!

[@joe1071]

That tenon machine is amazing!

[@joosu84]

Stunning techniques, awesome to watch! Learned a lot❤

[@todretex]

Master craftsman. Nice work.

[@offgrid-j5c]

Where I live we get Cat 1 and low Cat 2 hurricanes. The tail-end of those from the gulf of Mexico even-though we are 1200 miles north from there. Every year we get 190+km wind and almost monthly we get 100 to 120km winds. Always windy here and a calm day or even a few hours of calm becomes the talk of everyone. As we say here,,, you could tie a ship off of that woodshed!!

[@rjaquaponics9266]

The layout skill involved is pure art as is the craftmanship and command of your tools. The excessive use of caulk on the small roof may help hold moisture from drying out after a soaking rain and therefore causing root. Rain never only falls straight down. Therefore, the roof is more decorative than practical. Overall, it is beautiful project.

[@titoubrouwers2017]

One of my favorite builds of yours Shoyan

[@AF_L]

Great channel. Thanks for sharing your carpenter knowledge with us. From Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Nishiseattle]

Shoyan Sensei- a true master.

[@Preske]

looks amazing. thank you very much for sharing and subtitling these so we too can enjoy.

[@Kaodusanya]

4 days????!!!! that is so freaking quick.

[@makenchips]

Video so well done, and the narrations was very good as well. I like that all the terminology was displayed in English. You can look up each term later to learn more etc. Amazing the work that went into this shed. Amazing everything is champhered! Everything! Never happen in the states like this that is for sure. This would make an excellent study!

[@vmoutsop]

The machinery is amazing! So, is your skill.

[@ApiaryManager]

Thank you for demonstrating your work. It was fascinating to see the effort you went to with all those joints!

[@corymiller9854]

Great job! I love this style of building

[@daviddirienzo3432]

Your woodshed is nicer then 100% of the homes built today in the USA

[@thunderbirdone8126]

Fine furniture quality woodshed

[@donaldadams5342]

Wonderful skills shown in this build. It is a very elegant woodshed with exceptional jointing work shown. It amazes me to see the extremely high quality of Japanese woodworking skills on display in every project you turn your hand to. Everything fits together SO WELL. Congratulations & thanks for sharing. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

[@gorgeousninja7213]

loved watching this reminds me of the work had done on my Japan house. Carpenters there are so skilled

[@vonHannersdorf]

Perfect job even for such a small project. In Japan, they pay attention to the details, it's incredible, beautiful work!

[@Kajpaje]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wonderful example of a craftsman, Zen like, from a land of Zen.

[@hendrikn.3900]

He is not playing around. Straight to work, amazing speed of working. #bossmove

[@haroldschultz5864]

Beautiful work .

[@RayBecker]

My God, you are Amazing my friend. I have a question for you, Sir: Have you seen young people in Japan, taking up the Trade skills? I hope I'm not going to much with English here. I'm learning about Japanese Demographics and I'm concerned about the balance of retirees and young, productive people. I've always loved and been fascinated by Japan. It seems as though every minute of every day, the people are consumed with achieving perfection. Just Amazing. Your skills are just the most incredible to watch. Thank you Sir! Have a Blessed and Peaceful 2023.

[@olafbigandglad]

I need that four bladed dovetail saw thingy.

[@sauliusipsc]

That a true Masterpiece! Can't stop watching it from the beginning to the end!)

[@merlinch4256]

Great skills and tools, thanks!

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Wonderful. Thank you for posting.

[@tiangseriofficial]

Thank you for making awesome content. Arigato gozaimas 🙏

[@kenliu6117]

what a nice shed!

[@charlesjenkins8078]

Great job.It’s sure a lot of work. Thanks again.

[@pontustengvall6767]

Can only agree with the rest of commentators; beautiful result and a great video to watch! Did I understand it correctly that it only took you for days to cut the timbers AND assembling the shed!? Best regards, Pontus

[@AJ-oc5eh]

a wood shed? haha. funny. this is a cabinet for a king

[@TheChadjacobs]

Love your work, keep the videos coming

[@jeffdyrland2795]

I love these videos! Very impressed with several of those machines and how you’ve managed to keep all of your fingers! 😊

[@markstanden202]

I've watched most of these several times and love each one. Beautiful work and such great attention to detail! The mark of a true craftsman is to make the amazingly complex seem effortless and easy. You sir, are a true craftsman. I wonder though, what is the name of the multi-bladed saw used ot cut the tenon/dovetails, at about 7'11"?

[@mrJanniekoen]

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowlege Sir

[@thunderbirdone8126]

You could try a straight cutter first then follow up with a sharp dovetail cutter for a smoother cut and better geometry.

[@jorgearenas872]

Thank you Master...I admire your work style!!!... I´d like to be your apprentice there in Japan...is it possible???

[@musicbro8225]

A beautiful woodshed indeed! It tickles me to see you sanding the timber, this would be a step too far for most western carpenters :) Oh and that machine for cutting tenons and dove tails is incredible, it makes cutting them so easy but very scary machine for sure! Thank you, you are very good at what you do and it is good to see you work.

[@chekosfilm]

SUPER NICE JOB.

[@foodparadise5792]

Woodshed in the USA I have seen are pieces wood nailed together with thin metal plates.

[@clarkstone-bear7742]

Yep, the biggest differences if noticed from watching thease videos is you can't rush it. Instead of screwing flimsy processed wood, sheet metal or plastic together. Everything is made perfectly to fit together like a peice of art. Only then do you used screws or nails to reinforce, or Fasten down what needs it. The end result is a beautiful peice that will last for yrs.

[@pintiioanliberoit]

bravo

[@mkmclachlan6349]

All of this beautiful craftsmanship sitting directly on water permeable concrete! Can a barrier be installed after the fact?

[@rowanwhite3520]

This small shed is built so strong you could use it as a bomb shelter! Beautiful!

[@blakebirchall1982]

Amazing style i like it

[@s0mehuman]

All I have to say is, wow

[@zocalo1990]

Un trabajo bastante bien hecho .,súper bien !!!

[@lissataylor12345]

Beautiful ❤

[@582tird]

Beautiful !

[@b7fLuid]

I want that mortiser!

[@funtyes1970]

shed Beautiful craftsmanship but i think shed is more for looks

[@elwood212]

Thank you Sir! What a pleasure that was watching your process. I learned some valuable tips . Your wood shed is beautiful and will last a few hundred years if cared for. Modern building techniques used today are good for at least a year before they need more costly work done. I see a world where we will all choose to do our absolute best like you do, because the wood and the project deserve that respect. I see you share this respect. 🙏🇦🇺

[@charliekingpin8568]

As usual a great video and in English to, how do you keep you sharpen you pencil, it's always perfectly pointed just like all your work. I'd love to have a tour of your workshop? Keep up the good work

[@bearwoodcraft3591]

Some of these tools and machines amazing would love to know the history of them

[@Shnick]

Nice work!

[@jleftraru]

Yo traduzco al español y entiendo perfectamente, incluso las bromas del maestro Shoyan...
