This would be my dream if I had a garden to build a Japanese tea house. It’s amazing what you have built. So beautiful. I wonder if you practice tea ceremony in there. How lovely that would be to invite guests and perform ceremony for them.
Japanese is about simplicity but there's definitely nothing simple with this that it became painful to the eyes!!! SERIOUSLY, HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A SIMPLE QUADRILATERAL BUILDING WITH QUADRILATERAL WINDOWS & SLIDING DOORS!!! DEFINITELY, THE WORD JAPANESE HERE IS CLICKBAIT!!!
😂 Brilliant comment - first keyboard warrior on the channel! Thanks for watching 👍
Great job. Looks amazing :-)
Thanks, a lot better now it's on the road again! 😅
@@37012 Would love to see it. Maybe a little walkthrough video like with the chassis? But let the V8 idle ;-)
@@Epik-hm8ws I'm sure that could be arranged...
Sorry if I missed it but was there a book or two that helped in planning aspects such as the joinery or the mudding of the walls?
Hi Adam, no books used... I've built many things, so it's second nature really. If you're into learning more about joinery, there are some excellent channels on here providing tutorials, including complex Japanese ones without nails or screws! As for the render, I employed a plasterer - some things aren't worth the hassle...
Looking pretty good! Congratulations I hope to build one in our backyard as well. 一期一會。
Great job done 👍🇬🇧
Love this. Powder coated or paint ?
Hi Bill, thanks. It's powder coated, with zinc-phosphate undercoat.
I've just come across your video. Like yourself, I decided to go for a slate roof and I managed to source very cheap 'Spanish' slate from 'bankrupt stock' early in March this year. That reduced costs massively. The garden you have designed and keep seems pretty tidy compared to mine at the moment. Unfortunately, I have neglected the garden side due to the construction of the tea house and ensuring the pond and its inhabitants survive (Koi). The tea house you have built appears a lot more open than the one I am building. I intend to completely seal it from the weather when it is complete sometime in early 2021. The garden is becoming full time to be honest. Anyway, keep up the good work and tips. Kind regards: Alex
Thanks Alex, where are you based? Sounds like an interesting project. I hope to make some Shoji screens for the openings next year, so there's another project!
@@37012 I am in North Wales. Similar to yourself, the next stage will be putting together a 'Shoji' sliding door. I hope to start that in the next day or 2 - weather permitting which has'nt been great at the moment. the link below is a link to the playlist that shows how the build went from the base to the present day (part 15): ruclips.net/p/PLJ1IsvVEJmHCfACFDzxb49-pc0-VA2SQp Kind regards: Alex
@@Veterankoi This is great! Of course, you have Bodnant Gardens on your doorstep for azalea inspiration 👍 Keep up the good work and I'll check out progress
Looks amazing! Wish I was skilled at woodworking to build something like this for my garden!
Thanks 👍 You'd be surprised what you can achieve with a few tools. Plenty of woodworking tutorials on here to help get you started. Give it a try...
Super boulot, très propre 👍👍
Merci 👍
I'd love to see any progress you have completed - looks like an interesting one so far.
Thanks Mark, will aim to do something later in the year, perhaps.
Thanks for posting the series, it's been very inspiring to watch and is especially great to see what can be done in the UK. Is there a particular shop you have used for the Japanese interior furnishings?
Thanks, unfortunately, that's where I'm struggling to find things... Though Japanese-looking on the outside, the inside has to be practical with benches and a low table for the odd bbq... things I'll have to make I suspect...
Super stuff. Might be a shame to use it :-) Laurie.
Very true...
nice job .. Just wondering what you used as render .. Should do a update of your garden now
Antony Garwood Thanks, I'll try, but such a lot on currently. It has changed quite a bit too since then.
Antony Garwood The render was just sand and cement with PVA... Worked a treat
looking great, do you have any updates please?
Thanks. I've made an update here: ruclips.net/video/e_NaX6sq6CE/видео.html
what are those metal braces called?
Hi, metal braces from Screwfix www.screwfix.com/p/heavy-duty-angle-brackets-galvanised-90-x-63mm-25-pack/69361 I've used a few packs of these on various projects wanted to ensure that it could handle at least 6-8 people when sat inside, plus tools. They're zinc-coated, but remain hidden once the panels are in place. Hope this helps.
