I think this is my new favorite video from the Samurai. So many parts to that puzzle that have to fall into place to pull it off. Truly amazed at all the elements he was able to wrangle in three dimensions over a long distance. Wow.
I get your point but honestly if you want to use video titles as a guide to find the videos you're actually interested in you're kind of fucked with Wranglerstar's titles. Even if it turns out that you do actually want to watch the majority of his videos, the exceptions will leave you disappointed and after a while you'll just stop checking the content all together.
Kinda puts into perspective the pos commercial doorset I congratulated myself on installing yesterday. Thanks, mate. Gonna sit in the van and have a little sob while I contemplate my inadequacy now. Thanks....
The bed you made for your son and the video inspired me to build more and more. I’m currently building a bed for my son. Thanks for the inspiration. The Rookie Wood Worker
I think I'm in love... this is seriously the most satisfying and beautiful thing I've ever seen. Thank you Samurai for inspiring me to get into the craft and build awesome things!
Mr. Samurai, WOW! As usual you spoil us with this display of craftsmanship. Sir, I thank you, again. I'm sure I'll be thanking you many more times in the future. I look forward to more! later.
Samurai, this is one of your best instructional videos and the music was very well done. Continued success to you and yours on our mutual paths of enlightenment.
I've watched every video and been following since you were in the old shop but I've never felt more pure excitement while watching you work than when the whole beam finally seated properly! I know that feeling all too well and it really doesn't get better than when your hard work and hours into a project pay off like that! I can't thank you enough for this incredible content and Jesse, you're truly one of a kind!
I loved the fact that you allowed the camera to keep filming the whole process (then sped it up during the editing phase) so that we could all see all the steps involved! Awesome video...and I think I speak for everyone when I say...the end results kind of speak for themselves!! Beautiful!! (Looks like Mother Nature finally gave you a bit of a break so you could install that beam ;) )
Nice looking scarf joint. Perhaps as only a deck this didnt matter to you, but for sake of general knowledge and especially those just learning the craft, it would be wise to mention that scarfs should not be placed over posts, and if they are they should be supported further by a corbel.
Absolutely beautiful, as usual. I'm trying to imagine the reaction of some grizzled old building inspector who shows up expecting to find the usual crapola that passes for construction and finding this instead.

I love to see the heavy engineering go up smoothly. The scale between micro adjustment on the bench to the structure masses staggers the mind. Been doing it near 30 years & still in awe of the process.
Can't like this video hard enough. Great job. Glad there is a way for you to make something like this and be able to enjoy it yourself. Every professional woodworker's dream. May you always enjoy it.
This is the kind of stuff I aspire to do. Thank you for the many, many hours of content that allow people, like myself, to live vicariously through you and your shop.
This is the joint that I use on beam. I learned this in Japan working with Japanese Carpenter working on a Temple. Stongest joint I have ever seen. They have buildings with these joints that are haundred mayby thousands of years old. Thank you for putting this on here.
Incredible craftsmanship mate! Best part of being on this RUclips community is seeing all the spectacular craftsmen by all the people who have a true passion for the trade. Amazing videos. Incredible workmanship. 👍
You are an inspiration!!! I have no carpentry background or skills. I grew up in Hawaii but about 20 years ago I had to move to Chicago and then I ended up in Indiana and probably won't ever move now. I live on a big wooded lot where there's good oak all over. One day I picked up a nice piece and even though I don't have any woodworking skills, I decided I was going to carve a Tiki, to remind me of home. I started playing with tools and buying a few things and now I'm hooked. I wish I had more time to really get into woodworking. I want to build and create like you do. Your work is amazing. Thank you for producing these videos! Hopefully when I retire I will be able to develop a few skills and have a hobby I can enjoy when I'm older.
Jessie. You are the man. That joint should be celebrated. Those tools though. multi layered chain saw plunge router and portable bandsaw. you are living the carpentry dream. I'm not jealous ( that's a lie).
Seriously the best RUclips channel when wanting no nail timber frame. You and Chickadee….I’m building in Ecuador without the fancy tools and milled lumber- great to see!
Hi, Well Done, I am also a joiner and used the exact same joint on a six-metre long timber for a garden room on the rear of my house. I have to say it is the best joint I have ever used when wedged it was possible to lift the timber at the joint with no joint movement at all. I am in awe of Japanese joinery and I, as I think you do, find the use of their tools particularly their planes almost a spiritual experience. Great work and vids!
After watching you making the template and then cutting the scarf joint for the 1st seven minutes of the video I was actually holding my breath watching you make the test fit. That was beautiful precision and I really enjoyed watching you do it.
Obviously there is a pattern for this joint that can be scaled up or down to the size of the timber. Do you have these measurements that you could make available? Also, would you use a different joint if the load was vertical instead of horizontal?
Beautiful, inspirational craftsmanship. Please take the same amount of time on your back as you do on creating these works of art. You pop a disk and your craftsmanship will suffer needlessly because you have an assistant standing right there to lend you a hand. I think I speak for all your followers when I say that we want you around for many, many years healthy and happy Sempi (teacher). Thank you for sharing your artestry. Kohi (student)
Would love to see a video just on the layout of the Japanese scarf joint. You know covering the sizes and over all length of the joint in relation the size of the timber, etc.....
Everytime I hear about an earthquake in Japan I think of this sort of temple carpentry and joinery and of course it makes sense. The beauty of it is sublime and its the best example of form and function being harmonious and right.
Man. This is what we all wish we could do. I just wish I had a shop bigger than my single bay garage so I could try. As always, thanks for the awesome vid. I think I just passed one year as a patreon supporter. Rock on!
I'm very interested in Japanese carpentry, so videos like this are the main reason I subscribe to your channel. This was a really interesting video! He shoots...he scores!
Cool, sure, and for extending beams with little sideways pressure, probably one of the best. De gustibus non disputandum est. For other types of joints, hand tool made knapp joints are cooler, in my opinion. Others prefer indica joints...
Joel Turner while I'm sure it's still not light. being cedar it is probably not as heavy as you might think. especially when compared to a fresh piece of pressure treated lumber.
As an old man who used to be a young man I know your not going to listen to good advice (I didn't). So stop and think before you go ahead do it wrong the way anyway. You too can end up with a back like mine when you get old. Get help when its available and lift with the thighs not the back.
That was the most beautiful thing i have seen today.. wow.. that joint is gorgeous. Cant wait to see the rest of the deck. Im sure the homeowners are ecstatic.
I admire your workmanship. Really do, genuine respect. But your EGO? Man, it is draining!!! I guess over 500k subscribers speak for themselves. I've taken a lesson in patience and tolerance with a number of your videos. Sadly, I dont think I'll be joining your channel. From one woodworker to another - It is great to make stuff isn't it? Keep up the great workmanship
Ive followed your videos with great admiration for a long time and still i can be blown away by your precise and beautiful work. You really are an inspiration. Thank you
Japanese precision is amazing!! I was working with a Japanese chippy a few years back and he had entrusted me to fix up some batoning.... he came back and was standing 30 feet away when he called out no no no! I turned to him confident I had done a good job... he touched a baton an said.... not square!! Remembering that that was one of only two batons I hadn’t used the level on! He saw it instantly from 30 feet away!! Another time he was sharpening a plane blade for what seemed an eternity..... i asked him what was taking so long.... he calmly looked me in the eye and said.... how can it work for me if I don’t work for it? Amazing craftsman he was... amazing as always samurai!
Fantastic video Samurai. Incredible to see the ingenuity and skill of Japanese joinery without the need for any fixings. Looking forward to see the end result.
There is carpentry and there is art. The way you combine the two is inspiring. It draws you in. You look at it... You look again. Then you try to comprehend. This a demonstration of how inspiration, then planning then just doing it becomes reality.
I have studied various wood working starting in 7th grade middle school high school until 10th grade went to vo-tech for 3 years the Scarf joint is one of the most Beautiful things I have seen in my life
Great craftsmanship and joinery. I believe everyone in the RUclips and WoodWorking community appreciate your work very much, thank you for sharing Samurai. Keep up the great work!
That type of joinery is one of the reasons I fell in love with woodworking and timber framing. Beautifully done. Great Job! I can only hope that one day I could do that on a deck of my own.
That is definitely something you need to be 100% exact about cutting. Especially that timber which I'm sure wasn't cheap. You make it look super easy ....I recon because your the Samurai! Good job my friend. I really like the time lapse type video.
Absolutely beautiful joint. As a joiner myself I have never had call to use a scarf joint. The craftsmanship that goes into this is something special to watch.
Glad it worked out that you ended up having to get 2 shades of wood. That scarf joint DESERVES to be shown like that. Beautiful.
Agreed, i really like both joints just they way they are. Looks great samurai!
Couldn't agree more!
Agreed, contrast is the spice of life.
Gorgeous work!
Ajey agreed. The fit is so well done that it would have disappeared with exact colored wood.
Samurai I have been building homes for 20 years and I have never seen work this good! I bow to you buddy :-) Very nice!
I think this is my new favorite video from the Samurai. So many parts to that puzzle that have to fall into place to pull it off. Truly amazed at all the elements he was able to wrangle in three dimensions over a long distance. Wow.
The mix of hand tools and power tools to create traditional joinery is something I can really appreciate. It's a work smarter not harder mentality.
One of your best videos ever, beautiful work,
Wranglerstar -Cant wait to see your scarf joints!
hey nice i like this guys videos too
And he's even getting nice amount of view without clickbait.
tyvek05 its a real shame you're missing out on great free content lately because you're fixated on titles. Your loss man.
I get your point but honestly if you want to use video titles as a guide to find the videos you're actually interested in you're kind of fucked with Wranglerstar's titles.
Even if it turns out that you do actually want to watch the majority of his videos, the exceptions will leave you disappointed and after a while you'll just stop checking the content all together.
That is by far the best instructional video on a scarf joint I've seen on youtube. Fantastic work Samurai. Thanks for the knowledge.
Kinda puts into perspective the pos commercial doorset I congratulated myself on installing yesterday. Thanks, mate. Gonna sit in the van and have a little sob while I contemplate my inadequacy now. Thanks....

Is this the type of joint that keeps the wood's neck warm in the winter?
yes
It's the type of joint that makes the wood look stylish year round. :^)
It is the other kind that makes you warm and fuzzy
Inspirational craftsmanship from the one and only Samurai Carpenter. Kudos to you master.
Samurai, this is one of your best instructional videos and the music was very well done. Continued success to you and yours on our mutual paths of enlightenment.

It must be pretty sweet knowing you've got one of the best North American scarf joint videos on the internet now eh? Congratulations, Jesse
Big views, big views, big views!
Thanks Mitch.
Go and look at Mr. Chickadees channel for some unsung quality work .

Thanks Mr Chickadee. Do you put corbels on both sides or one is enough?
You have no idea what you’re talking about kid. Lol jk
@@zacdredge3859 the supporting Corbel goes underneath the timber it is strengthening
@@ThaiRoney you could have bothered to take a little time to search Chickadee out…
Yes a daimochi tsugi would have been more appropriate here.
I've watched this video 3 times and am still in awe. Thanks for sharing your gift - its encouraging.
Absolutely beautiful, as usual. I'm trying to imagine the reaction of some grizzled old building inspector who shows up expecting to find the usual crapola that passes for construction and finding this instead.

I've never seen that tool before. The ryobi chain saw plunge. Terrific tool!
Same
I want one, I can think of a million ways i could use that
It make me so happy to see that people like you still exist!
this was absolutely beautiful, amazing work as usual, you are an absolute beast!
This is the joint that I use on beam. I learned this in Japan working with Japanese Carpenter working on a Temple. Stongest joint I have ever seen. They have buildings with these joints that are haundred mayby thousands of years old. Thank you for putting this on here.

Deadset awesome! You certainly don't do things by half!!!
You are an inspiration!!!
I have no carpentry background or skills. I grew up in Hawaii but about 20 years ago I had to move to Chicago and then I ended up in Indiana and probably won't ever move now. I live on a big wooded lot where there's good oak all over.

You are an incredible craftsman.
I literally can't saw straight or join two bits of wood together to save my life, but it's a joy to watch such craftsmanship.
Jessie. You are the man. That joint should be celebrated.
Those tools though.
multi layered chain saw plunge router and portable bandsaw.
you are living the carpentry dream.
I'm not jealous ( that's a lie).
Seriously the best RUclips channel when wanting no nail timber frame. You and Chickadee….I’m building in Ecuador without the fancy tools and milled lumber- great to see!
that multi-tool looks Fein!
Made in Germany is best!!!
Makita is good too - nice price and solid quality, no doubt ;-)

awesome job 👍 craftsmanship at its finest
What you have built and accomplished in your life so far is extradorinary and beautiful
Very nice Kanawa Tsugi! Turned out excellent, well done :)
I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online?
Wow! What a great carpenter. I bow down to your cutting skills and calculations. Such work needs a calm mind and patience.
Obviously there is a pattern for this joint that can be scaled up or down to the size of the timber. Do you have these measurements that you could make available? Also, would you use a different joint if the load was vertical instead of horizontal?
Beautiful, inspirational craftsmanship. Please take the same amount of time on your back as you do on creating these works of art.

Beautiful!! Bit of a better week this week huh, Samurai? It looks amazing!
Something really satisfying about watching the joints go together so snug and putting that final piece across holding it together
Would love to see a video just on the layout of the Japanese scarf joint. You know covering the sizes and over all length of the joint in relation the size of the timber, etc.....
Bump. According to "The Art of Japanese Joinery" (p. 107), it seems that such proportions should be: total length of the joint = beam thickness x4.
Everytime I hear about an earthquake in Japan I think of this sort of temple carpentry and joinery and of course it makes sense. The beauty of it is sublime and its the best example of form and function being harmonious and right.
lookin really nice! good job samurai.
The craftsmanship, patience and precision you put into your work is incredible! You are gifted!
You sir are an amazing woodworker, a true artist.
Man. This is what we all wish we could do. I just wish I had a shop bigger than my single bay garage so I could try. As always, thanks for the awesome vid. I think I just passed one year as a patreon supporter. Rock on!
Anyone know what the spray was he used during the initial fitting adjustments?
Jig-a-loo silicone spray.
Is that for extra lubrication or what?
I'm very interested in Japanese carpentry, so videos like this are the main reason I subscribe to your channel. This was a really interesting video! He shoots...he scores!
Aren't those just the coolest joints?
Cool, sure, and for extending beams with little sideways pressure, probably one of the best.
De gustibus non disputandum est. For other types of joints, hand tool made knapp joints are cooler, in my opinion.
Others prefer indica joints...
Indica joints. LOL
I think in general, our society has become so cost conscientious, that we forgo true craftsmanship. Excellent work my friend.
Anyone elses back start hurting, or perhaps pooped themselves a little when he one man lifted that beam?
Joel Turner if him lifting that beam made you hurt or "poop yourself" even a little instead of inspiring you.... you aren't a man
yea, that was... wow.
Joel Turner while I'm sure it's still not light. being cedar it is probably not as heavy as you might think. especially when compared to a fresh piece of pressure treated lumber.
Joel Turner "get on the other scaffold!"
As an old man who used to be a young man I know your not going to listen to good advice (I didn't). So stop and think before you go ahead do it wrong the way anyway. You too can end up with a back like mine when you get old. Get help when its available and lift with the thighs not the back.

Great workmanship but his head may explode if it gets any larger.

Get over yourself “greatnesses”
Sometimes you can get by leaving well enough alone.
Otherwise left unsaid.
Sadly you miss the irony that your need to leave a disparaging comment is due to your own ego.
Ive followed your videos with great admiration for a long time and still i can be blown away by your precise and beautiful work. You really are an inspiration. Thank you
My Japanese in laws would think you're pretty good for a Gaijin :-)
A thing of beauty.Congrats SamuraiCarpenter. Utterly impressive.

Beautiful work! Japanese wood working is second to none!
That is the most satisfying and beautiful woodworking I done ever seen. True story
We need more carpenters with this level of skill!
I would just like to thank the samurai for giving me the faith in myself to start doing woodwork
Impressing! The scarf joint deserves to be on display!
Fantastic video Samurai. Incredible to see the ingenuity and skill of Japanese joinery without the need for any fixings.
Looking forward to see the end result.
An absolute pleasure to watch a Master at work.

You are a real samurai carpenter! (From Japan with respect.)
Spectacular work. Japanese joinery is an art form as much as it is a building technique.
That is definitely something you need to be 100% exact about cutting. Especially that timber which I'm sure wasn't cheap. You make it look super easy ....I recon because your the Samurai!
Good job my friend. I really like the time lapse type video.
Absolutely beautiful joint. As a joiner myself I have never had call to use a scarf joint. The craftsmanship that goes into this is something special to watch.
Just beautiful. Amazing craftsmanship and PATIENCE!!
12 minutes and 17 seconds of pure AWESOMENESS!!
Now that is why I watch this channel! Beautiful work.
Glad you ended up with different beam colours, it makes the joints stand out. And it's also outstanding! Fantastic work.
I got a little misty eyed watching those go together. Phenomenal.
Awesome. It takes brains to see the final result when you are planing but much more to actually make it happen!
One of my main reasons to move into Canada is you, man. You're the best. Hope to learn from you in the future.
Wow that's like some of the most beautiful joinery and wood I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more.
I just cut 6 scarf joints this week for a timber frame house, they are an amazing joint. Excellent job on your beam
Samurai does amazing work . . . especially working so quickly
love it when it all comes together in the end nicely done. you do very good work keep it up. thank you for the video
That joint is beautiful. I love how simple and elegant it is.
It's so refreshing to see a true CRAFTSMAN......not many left.
Wow, love this video! Even 5 years later never gets old!!
The contrast in the different beams is awesome!
You my friend are one of the best Craftsmen I have seen! Thank you for sharing, teaching and inspiring!
Nice to see these joints being used in the scale they were designed for. Nice job!
