The quality of the wood he uses is absolutely amazing. We can only dream of materials like that here in the States. Even the sheet materials used in other episodes is on another level. If we had access to materials of that quality it would be so astronomically expensive we couldn’t afford to even look at it on the store’s shelves let alone buy it. I'm a furniture and cabinet guy myself (I should say I’m a lifelong hobbyist and not a professional) and I think this guy's rough-in, and framing work is better than even the best finish work you typically see. I love seeing all the Japanese methods and techniques. Amazingly sharp saw blades and chisels. I enjoy seeing all the fascinating tools that we’re not used to in our area. I even enjoy learning the names and words you are teaching us. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work.... P.s., I noticed all the Imperial rulers and tape measure markings??? Best Regards,

I am in the UK and recently found this channel. I would say, if guy is the typical japanese carpenter that they are the best in the world, so are their tools AND the timber. All are fantastic

That Timber looks amazing - looks incredibly straight

Japanese blades. Best in the world. I am a Carpenter and bought a Japanese saw. Struggle with the pull cut. I also see you pull the plane as well. Your sharpening is very impressive. Those plane ribbons. WOW. Japan is known for its craftsmen and you fit into that category. Joy to watch.

I'm an East coast carpenter in the states. We rely so much on mechanical attachments in framing- this is beautiful to see how jointery is used at all levels over there.

It's always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work!

I love the precision and attention to detail. A true craftsman at work!

I wish I knew half of what this man has forgotten over the years when it comes to woodworking and joinery. Always impressed watching him do his thing. Great work as always.

Good job Shoyan. Your grandchildren must love having you around!!!!!!You'd have lots to teach them - even carpentry!😄

You are a master carpenter sir! Wonderful job! When in Japan with my students in 1999 I was so impressed with the building skills of contemporary and ancient carpenters. I had trouble climbing stairs in the castles being a large American with big feet since the treads were vertical; the opposite of stair construction in the west. I was fascinated when walking on nightingale floors (Uguisu-bari) in Nijo Castle which “chirped” when walked on! How very clever of ancient craftsmen to equip the palace with a ninja warning system!

Work can be outstanding when masters are given the time to do it properly

Amazingly beautiful pinewood. And the perfection of work...

Beautiful workmanship. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Domo Arigato! Thank you so much for shearing your craftmanship watching your skills are time well spent, congratulations!

Absolutely amazing work! Thank you for sharing!!

A Master Craftsman at work.

I wish the man that’s doing the carpentry would do the speaking. Also there’s a lot of measurements that were not getting but thank you for your program. It’s very interesting and I used to help people build homes and I’m picking up a lot of information I never knew how to do, and some of your machinery you haveI’ve never seen before maybe because I don’t have all the money a lot of people do have, but other than that you’ve got a great program. Thank you so much and the carpenter should be honoured for his work.

I love this man’s workmanship

My friend u r some special carpenter u r a magician I did lot of wood work my self but I never came across that special little planet like a hand planer but lot faster I’m a German born carpenter now I live in USA 🇺🇸 for long long time blessings to u

"the trees are not as old as they used to be"... 🤣😂🤣😂.. Cracked me up..

His attention to detail is amazing

I'm fascinated watching the way you work. The extensive use of wood joinery is so different from typical US practice. I've also never seen that machine you used to make groves in the stair treads. Here we would grab a router for that task, but your way looks better. It is also amazing to see construction without a nail gun in sight! Awesome.

Wow, thank you for that. Outstanding craftsmanship. I have an older house in Hokkaido with a similar pine staircase - so now I maybe have some insight into how it could have been constructed...👍

Attention to detail is amazing, beautiful work.

Wow a true master carpenter

nothing short of amazing as always. love your work

Great job by one man construction company. Plus very neat job finishing in all the projects.

Great video as always. Hope you and your family have a wonderful 2022.

I made floating stairs out of pine with a quarter turn in the room's corner.... without a single screw or a drop of glue. Holding up for everyday use since a year and a half now. And then here comes this japanese man and throwing dozens of screws then caulking with PVA glue. Oh My Goodness...

I love the planer item your using. I've never seen anything like it. I'm here in the USA in New York. Very good video Thank you

Very Very Very nice 👌 and beautiful work 👌 wood 🪵 stear, and clean job. Thank you carpenter

I once built a custom gate for an architect using kiln-dried knotty cedar 2x6, counter-sunk stainless-steel screws and hand-chamfered edges, sanded to a the smoothness of glass paying careful attention to the grain patterns of each board ensuring they flowed together like waves in a sandy sea floor. It was an an absolute masterpiece. Then he had some lowball hit team paint it. They didn’t even attempt to sand or prime it even though it was obviously extremely smooth-finished bare wood. The paint began to peel because the wood surface was so smooth and perfect. 😂

I have enjoyed your videos thru 2021 - Good Health & Best Wishes for 2022.

That is a work of art you are a very clever fellow

True craftsmanship! Thank you!!

Very beautiful work. It would be an honour to have someone with your skill level work on my house one day.

Absolute master ! A real treat to watch.

Showing a lot of attention to details, beautiful work.

Wonderful to hear in English, thank you so much

Super !! Je ne comprends pas toujours les tracés mais je suis épatée par la précision de toutes les coupes faites à la main. Tout les plans sont dans sa tête pas besoin de logiciel de dessin 👏

Your Master carpenter Sir Thank You For Your Video

Good job ! 👍

Beautiful !!

Lovely workmanship. Thankyou.

That was sublime from start to finish.

It would be impossible to improve on the skill & craftsmanship you display in your work Shoyan. All Carpenters around the world should be taught by you my friend, then we would not have shoddy tradesmen. Well done so relaxing to watch you in action. I have a LOT of your videos to catch up on viewing since discovering your channel. One of the BEST 'finds' I have ever made. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

Such Japanese craftsmen contribute to the excellent reputation of their country by the superior quality of their work.

Thank you. Very nice work.

Wonderful to watch, Thank you for sharing 👍📐🔨😄

Incredible work

Veramente bravissimo artigiano!!

Hello my name is David, I am a carpenter myself, and it seems so Japanese Carbon tree is about the same but I like your style and it seems as though it's more simplicity which is good.

Beautiful! this is inspiring.

Wow. One guy. Lots of skill.

Great video!

Nice to watch him working. I haven't seen that criss cross bracing in the walls before, boards on their side between two studs. Would like to see how they join in at the top and bottom.

From Sub Arctic Nome, soothing to watch such mastery.

Great to see you, ps make permanent subtitles in menu selection, after pubblicitary spot I need to reselect my language

My hats off to you my friend, This is one of the best and most informative videos that I have seen. Thank you for posting this video

I feel like less of a Carpenter after watching this....

Very beautiful job

awesome work

Wonderful builds. I do wonder about the dust collection though (or lack thereof)

Now this is carpentry work.

master carpenter.

Very nice!

Remarkable craftsmanship! Subscribed!

beautiful work.

Спасибо!

beautiful timber!

Awesome work!

This is art

artist

Wow!

Amazing

Oh boy. That planer is just waiting for a nice meal of fingers.

He really likes using his hands as a glue applicator

The Japanese take pride in their lumber. Does not look like Home Depot’s twisted, bent, full of knots with black ink stamped every 5 inches on it.

tres beau travail !

Parabéns

Me when the client agrees to hourly rate billing.

cool!

These stairs are a »lift« for the souls of the maker and those who live with them! …In German there’s a word »Erhabenheit« wich kind of describe what you work delivers.

How is your work so perfect?

I sure wish we could build the way he does. It just makes sense.

Мастер! У Вас инструменты розового цвета это любимый цвет?

Look at his hands and arms.

WOW!

What is this tool you are using at 17:14? What is it called? Beautiful work. I really appreciate your attention to detail and beauty. Thanks for sharing

Would be great to have a wooden stair assembled without screws, only with wooden joints.

Hello Sir love your work what is the name of the handsaw you use thanks

I been lost since the layout

…the speed at which he freehand traces those arcs at 4:28 O_o

It is a gift to discover your work !!

Beautiful work. What is the correct name of the machine for 1m 55s?

Holy hell to get that quality of board in the US one would have to pay 20 dollars a square inch! Lmao but also secretly crying cause it’s true.

非常に少ないツールで複雑な作業を達成し、素晴らしい結果を生み出すようです。木工の初心者として、そのような偉大さを達成するためにしなければならない一連のツールは何ですか?経験は別として。

What kind of wood planer are you using for the fine planning? Thanks

Beautiful workmanship, Extreme eye for detail. I would like to ask how thick is the wood used for the steps.

Wait--those planers come in a benchtop model??
