[@johncostello3162]

I had the privilege of working with a Japanese finish carpenter in Hawaii for 7 years. Their attention to detail is sometimes frustrating for a professional carpenter from the mainland but the knowledge I gained was incredible…

[@EBM4545]

Love watching this craftsman, his pencil is sharper than any of my tools😅

[@riogrand3783]

😂 Mine too

[@troycarpenter3675]

😂

[@therealdojj]

Sharpening your pencil with a chisel is just boss level 😮

[@Zie_carpentry]

😊😊 thankyou

[@fscarp]

“The work is not difficult, but the posture is tough”. I feel your pain.

[@thomasblinka978]

I always look forward to Shoyan’s videos. Having worked as a carpenter years ago, and now pursuing woodworking as a hobby, he brings so much integrity and craftsmanship to carpentry. Here in the US it is a mere manual job with little skill or status. Shoyan is a craftsman who puts honor and integrity into his work. We need this attitude in the US - not just from the craftsmen, but from public appreciation of skilled work well done. Bravo, keep these videos coming!

[@zimmermanlandscape9287]

He would be very good at putting down a floating floor that’s for sure

[@disqusrubbish5467]

It's a Japanese trait. Parents raise their children admonishing them to "do your best".

[@henseleric]

Most folks can't afford skill of this level --these aren't average houses he builds. You are correct, though, that *no* houses in the 'States are built to this standard. I was a carpenter, too, and Shoyan's framing work is nearly to the standard of cabinetmaking. Incredible craft.

[@zimmermanlandscape9287]

Lol. If you have ever owned a Toyota you would understand the concept Japanese quality

[@henseleric]

@@user-rv1ji3hp4u Your knowledge of the subject is, apparently, non-existent. It isn't my job to educate you.

[@idontthinkso666]

I doubt anyone noticed this (except for other carpenters), but before undercutting the round column, he prep’d a scrap board. He used his power planer to remove a tiny amount from the surface of the scrap board, the equivalent thickness of the kerf of the hand saw blade. Perhaps 1 or 2 mm? This ensured the tightest possible fit of the floor boards around the column. He filmed it, but didn’t include that in the narration. This is the work of a perfectionist.

[@Redbeardcarpentryco]

The sign of true craftsmanship! This is why we love watching his work. 😁

[@BikeJackass]

I’m not a carpenter, just a homeowner doing his own house remodel including hardwood flooring and I knew immediately what he was doing as soon as I saw him planing that board

[@paulnovak833]

This is bordering on standard carpentry

[@fightington]

I always see my man 5 steps ahead - and every cut seems brisk like anyone working at what they know, except it's all insanely high level tolerance. He's building a house with more finesse that any master furniture i've watched on yt 😂 ❤

[@SkillzMillz83]

Good eye. He also hammered the edge of the board down 🤔💭

[@_JoeMomma]

I’ve never seen a more beautiful wood floor. Great job!!

[@dingusfuzzklonnkt2755]

Japanese craftsmanship is admired worldwide for good reason. There is no grey area, it is either precise or unacceptable. This excellent channel challenges me to improve everything about myself, thank you.

[@franksmodels29]

Gotta love working in socks 😂😂😂hats off to him and they stay clean 👍🏻

[@Cortedad]

I mean c’mon! Gentlemen is rocking white socks and manages to keep them clean.

[@danielt.4847]

The whole worksite is clean too!

[@bjornmiller3692]

The attention to detail is amazing.

[@Cortedad]

Inspiration to be better but miles ahead of what I could ever do

[@johnclauser7392]

As a furniture builder, absolutely love your work. That's Cypress floor is so beautiful like artwork..... Great job! Awesome job!

[@claudialombardo6223]

You Sir Are A True Master At Your Craft, It Would Be An Honor To Own A House That You Built. The Attention To Detail And Pride In Your Work Is Second To None.

[@scottyee707]

I envy your lumber, took me like two years but I finally saw a cracked board in use lol

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Well done Shoyan! It's not everyone that will do such an excellent job on something they don't like doing.

[@blairski22]

This man is a Craftsman in every sense of the word.

[@zephyr1408]

I am a finish carpenter sir in the States and I see you use a lot of Cypress? I made an 8’ door out of a Cypress Tree that once belonged to my customer ? It was a tree in his old house front yard that he cut down had milled and stacked / stickers then years later he hired me to make it! I made good money on it because his new rough jams were perfect hardly any shimming! Thk you so much for your hard work to make these videos Sir!

[@zephyr1408]

@@user-rv1ji3hp4u I was requested to build this door for a couple who built a huge post beam barn and then the hired an architect , engineer & contractor to build a two bedroom , two bath house with an upper story inside the Post beam barn! They decided that a custom door was needed on the N/W entry into the closest point between the Barn and house! It was a very custom build however I only built that one door? The General Contractor had his own Finish Carpenters ! I do enjoy you videos because I learn from them so much about doing very good clean work! You and I ; I think are about the same age? I know you hv years of experience as I do but I think we are both about 25yrs old ? Right? Kidding I am 65 and feel great probably retire like my dad at 80 God willing!

[@scottm3130]

You are a true craftsman.

[@DetlefElzenheimer]

Greetings from Germany, beautiful work

[@Ioughtaknowbetter]

It is very satisfying to watch somebody do such careful and precise work. The homeowners will enjoy your expert workmanship for many years

[@TheTurtlead]

Shoyan, you are an inspiration.

[@ubgamer9738]

I like your skills. I am from Nepal 🇳🇵🙏

[@entstudio63]

Great job master, years ago I used to do the same kind of work but here in Australia I get secked for such a great kind of quality, it takes too much time to complete... LOL

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Beautiful work as always. The customer is very lucky to have you as a carpenter.

[@Zie_carpentry]

Excuseme,, you are the best of carpentry world

[@disqusrubbish5467]

Such beautiful wood. I love the fitting around the posts. Thinning the scrap piece by the thickness of the saw blade to get a perfect fit is first rate. Thank you Shoyan-san.

[@Zjaan321]

So satisfying to watch.

[@TheKipgillett]

I like the video best when talking in Japanese with subtitles. Awesome work!!

[@cmmartti]

Yes. I wish they would just put English subtitles on their original Japanese videos rather than putting out separate English video with a translated voiceover. It would probably help their channel grow too because right now all their views are split between multiple channels.

[@fmarinosfromafar9512]

I like watching both versions!

[@guyvangenechten6484]

Very nice work as always 👌💯👍

[@spinkey4842]

the man, the myth, the legend

[@BobBlarneystone]

I wish I could come to Japan to learn carpentry and construction techniques.

[@user-sy7ro8jg3b]

Well done Sir! Very beautiful.

[@billmccaffrey1977]

Beautiful floor and great workmanship. I must say that watching you install the floor made my back hurt! Better to watch.

[@LastEmpireOfMusic]

not many can pay this level of precision and time spent these days in home construction

[@aRVeesBlog]

wow very interesting experience friend

[@fdavidmiller2]

I feel like a jigsaw would make that round cut much faster. Makita makes a nice one. Great work as always.

[@gypsy2]

As always, I am completely mesmerized watching Your techniques. I can only wish that we might be worthy of some 'links' as to Your choices in tools. In this video, I find Your choices in the flush cut saws and even Your nail gun of genuine interest. Master Craftsman as You are, I suspect that You may have made Your hand planer Yourself, if not, a clue as to the manufacturer would be more than kindly appreciated. Genuinely in Awe and Honored that You have shared this video with us. 🙏 Namaste

[@donscotuslives]

Brillian work as always, Shoyan!

[@Zie_carpentry]

😊😊

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Hi, I love the cypress floor. It looks amazing, and the attention to detail of your work really shows in the finished product. It's an honour watching your videos. Cheers

[@SkillzMillz83]

Wore that terry towel on his head to prevent sweat from falling onto the unfinished boards. Every drop would show when you finished the floor if you didn’t sand them out before hand. I’m curious if Shoyan finished the floor himself or if someone else did it.

[@TheYg658]

His work site is as clean as my room😂

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Shoyan San, it's a very beautiful floor, I'm a little surprised the access door isn't more diguised to match the floor , other than that it looks perfect.I hope you and your family are keeping well, arigato for the video, best wishe's to all there. Stuart Uk.

[@dougziglar8489]

Very well done. Japanese carpentry is world-renown for its attention to detail and craftsmanship for good reason. Subscribed.

Amazing workmanship.A joy to watch .Thank you.

[@Bill53AD]

Your master craftsmanship is showing in the beauty of the floor. The access panel flooring seam matching the floor is outstanding. Thank you for sharing your abilities and talent with us.

[@MsNIKITA]

I truly adore his attention to detail.

[@MarshallDjurhuus]

All of your videos blow my mind in some way or another. This one in particular blew my mind in how good that joint around the column was. Most especially that you cut the curved line with a pull saw and a chisel, which is a serious commitment to not using a jig saw :)

[@americanangler94559]

Nice work, thank you.

[@dougshaw9701]

beautiful as always

[@alexbowie6316]

That is hard work with top skills. Hope you are getting well paid........you deserve it!

Wonderful, magnificent accomplishment! Beautiful! Sorry to learn of your suffering from claustrophobia, it is real and difficult to deal with! Maybe tell the inspector: "You go ahead into crawl space, I'll wait here" 素晴らしい、素晴らしい成果です！ 美しい！ あなたが閉所恐怖症に苦しんでいることを知って残念ですが、これは現実のものであり、対処するのは困難です。 たぶん検査官にこう言うかもしれない：「あなたは先に進んでください、私はここで待っています」

A piece of ART !!! yes sir !!👍👍💪💪

[@krenwregget7667]

excellent work! The joints around the column were especially satisfying.
