Traditional Korean floor 대청마루 ( daecheongmaru) PART I -a wooden floor without nails, screws or glue
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Traditional Korean carpenters displayed thier skill and understanding of wood most expertly in the traditional 대청마루 Daecheongmaru floors found in so many Hanok houses.
A detour from the whole wooden floor process seen in much of the world, the floor boards are not cut into slim strips and nailed down to prevent their movement. Neither is there a sub floor and seperate finish floor. The Korean craftsman left the boards as large and wide as they could, and instead of controling their movement by cutting them down thin and nailing them in place, there were held within a groove cut into the joists, leaving the boards free to expand and contract as needed, but unable to cup or distort, much like a panel frame door.
Japanese joinery was used in our case to lock the floor beams and joists together.
There are various regional variations on these floors, and many ways they could be accomplished. We chose a simple dovetail groove with board ends cut at a mathing angle to be the best for us. Individual boards are further joined together with dowels.

never have I seen a man with such a burning hatred of metal fasteners
We need more of this
Matched only by his burning disgust for electricity.
I get it and appreciate it though...
I'm preparing to build on the big island of Hawaii, in an area described as a "cloud forest." It's wet. Like, really wet. I'll be building in this fashion out of necessity, as metal will rot far faster than the eucalyptus that I have access to.
Don't forget glue.
For the young generation of Korea, it is forgotten.
Thank you very much for the fact that artisans are dead and can see this kind of traditional work through foreigners.
It is now continuing through traditional schools in Korea.
It's very rare for the public to see it.
You are really great...Thank you...and thank you
Sadly it's not just Korea where skills like this are forgotten. Most developed countries have forgotten how to hand make even simple things.
Indeed many skills such as this have been forgotten to the passing of time
ㅎㅎ
This man has the sawing skills of a god good lord he follow that line perfectly with such a wide cut unbelievable.
Interesting to watch a video of a foreign man making Korean traditional floors. Your video made me know better about my culture. Really appreciate you!
Being a carpenter for 38 yrs, and having an eye for detail, you my good friend, are the best I've seen at hand sawing!!! This is an art all it's own. Folks dont understand the expertise behind every tool that is picked up in your hands. There are naturals in almost any worthy endeavor. Music is a big one. You sir, are a natural with wood. It brings great satisfaction to my soul to watch you quietly persist at excellence! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. To your wife, thank you for taking care of him and building him, as he surely builds for you. Very greatful, david
This is also a technique used by the Korean shipmakers, So Korean ironclad ships such as the 'Turtle ship' could ram into much larger Japanese vessels and actually do more damage to them. Also if I recall correctly they use a certain type of wood that would expand when in contact with water to tighten when placed in sea.
Most woods will expand and swell when in constant contact with water.
놀랍네요. 외국인이 대청마루를 만드는 것도 대단한데 기계없이 수작업으로 그것도 혼자서 다 하다니.
I never realized how much good audio contributes to carpentry vids. Nice.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thankyou for no irritating music luv this series
I noticed that Mr.Chikadee is using most of Korean traditional tools. By doing that, I trust Mr.Chikadee shows his respect to the craftsmanship of Korean carpenters who made nail free Daecheongmaru several hundreds years ago. I admire Mr.Chikadee's depth of knowledge and passion about Korean traditional joinery.
If i've learned anything from coming back to these videos over and over again it's "take your time" I'm always just so blown away with your ability to be present with your work. The results speak for themselves, you truly are a master Mr. Chickadee.
This and the followup are two of my favorite RUclips videos. Most, I watch once and forget about. But I keep coming back to these every few months.
Glad you like them!
Can anyone tell me how and where he learnt to build 대청마루 using the traditional skills that Koreans have been using since the ancient dynasty? The equipment he’s using are all traditional too. Just amazed to see 👏👏👏
He has a Q&A video in his channel where he said he learned from a book about korean architecture. Can't remember the name of the book though, but you can find it there
I started watching and initially thought what a waste of time and wood. But I kept watching and came around to admire what an impressive amount of skill. By the end I was completely overcome by the sheer beauty, simplicity and serenity of all of the process, the wood, the man and how it all is just "right". Now on to watch part 2.
내 18분을 그냥 가져가 버렸네!!!
대단하고 놀라운 실력입니다....솜씨는 한옥 대목장인데 한국인이 아니네요...ㅎㅎ
This channel is teaching me to slow down and do things right the first time.
Not just a very talented carpenter but a very good film maker.
I was a UBC journeyman carpenter, and unfortunately I had to get rid of all my old handtools. I plan or rather dream to buy again the old handtools, such as saws, planes, chisels, etc, for when I retire, to build handmade furniture. There is such tranquility and satisfaction in taking your time as you shape the wood by hand yourself, that even imagining it is impossible to comprehend. You just have to have it in your heart, and you have to do it to understand this fully. Someone said that this is nothing less than "sawdust therapy" I would love to know where you got your chisels and slick from. And that mortise framing auger hand drill is awesome. Love your lumber saw 😍
At least nowdays is not so difficult to buy tools since some people don't appreciate them and sell them cheap or even throw them in the trash...good luck!
Dude! Love it! Thanks for sharing old school wisdom...never seen this. Teaching without talking...RUclips at it’s best.🕊
I see all these thank yous from overseas and all I can say is WOW. People talk about appropriation all the time lately but I think we forget to also mention shared culture that preserves it and even broadens interest in its nuance.
I am ecstatic that artisans the world over are able to preserve this knowledge in video format no less so it is archived for generations.
Thank you sir for your work.
한국의 옛문화를 외국인이 알아보고 만들다니.고맙고 새롭게 느껴집니다.
It has to be so very satisfying when a connection fits as well as the ones you do.....especially such an intricate connection. Your work is an artwork as well and not just structural components. Very well done.
the sound of a hammer in the forest, brings me back to Michigan. Love it
I miss Michigan Kalamazoo so much...
The use of angled holes formed by two separate pieces with the locking board held in place by angled rectangular pegs is so unbelievably elegant that I had to rewind the video twice. I constantly find myself marvelling at the keen thinking that ancient builders used to solve the architectural need to build something with a minimum of metal fasteners.
I also have to give you a great deal of thanks; you present this in a way that makes it much easier to understand to enormous ingenuity involved, and in a fashion that makes it accessible to just about anyone. I truly enjoyed watching this.
Thank You.
Really love this tutorial! So inspiring. Watch it over & over. Made a free standing wall to hold up my tv based off of this. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Nice to see a new video from you.
The level of skill use to make things by hand are second to none. Your craftsmanship is a true joy to watch no matter what you make.
I will truely enjoy this build series.
YOU ARE AMAZING, OLD SCHOOL CARPENTER, SIMPLY FANTASTIC
I have wanted to learn to build without nails for so long, and your videos are very inspiring.
I’ve been a professional tile setter and hardwood installer for the last 26 years so I’ve seen, and been a part of, many many houses being built. That being said this is some of thee finest craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. I’m blown away at your skill, patience and talent.
안녕하세요.저는 한국에 거주중인 사람 입니다.
외국인 유튜버 분께서 이렇게 한국 대청마루를 제작해 주신것이 무척 감사합니다👍👍👍
That hand cranked drillpress is a work of art, as is you work good sir. Thank you for sharing.
I always thought my antique eggbeater drill was super cool.... I did... until I saw that absolute beauty!
Those old tools are so creative and use intelligent design and engineering to utilize the manufacturing and materials available at the time! That particular period is full of interesting and super ingenious and verrry specific tools!
Like that awesome jig for cutting a slot! So cool.
@@DanteYewToob do you know what it's called or what period it's from?
@@nealweatherhead497 it’s called a beam drill
Darchungmaru(대청마루) was very important part of traditional house in Korean. It required high skilled craftsmanship as it build with 100% wood without any nail.
Thank you so much for your hard work to revive a beauty of Korean traditional wood floor. 💯💯💯
어렸던 시절에, 외갓집에 가면 볼 수 있었던 대청마루를 보다니... 그것도 한국인이 아닌 외국인이 만드는 대청마루. 감사합니다. 추억을 되돌아볼 수 있도록 해주어서.
Now I can understand how was them built. I loved sleep on there in summer at grandmas. Thanks alot and good job!!
This is wood working technique of the old days which I always admire. It requires high skill and accurate measurements using simple tools. It deserves to be called an environmentally friendly way
Very impressive joinery! I can’t wait to see the rest of the floor!
Im honored! Soon!
@@MrChickadee Are you planning to do the Korean style of radiant heating ?
Just curious if that's in the plan or if there was some other motivation for deciding to go that direction.
I work with metal for a living and find I prefer forging hand tools more than knives for a change of pace.
So subbed and 👍 your video style lets me see more of how they work close up and that's really helpful.
Thanks 😊👍
Your videos are always so satisfying to watch. You are truly an artist! Great and beautiful work!
I wonder how much traditional knowledge we must have lost over the years when you see work like this. Nice. 😁😀😎
What most satisfies me, is that you are ambidextrous and so relaxed when working. Congratulations.
You are an artist and a fine craftsman. I could fall asleep listening to the beautiful sounds of you working, it is so relaxing.
Dear Mr. Chickadee.
Simply fantastic. Craftsmanship at a very high level is shown. It is inspirational and a kind of meditational to watch. Moreover all these old and wonderful tools are amazing. Some I have never seen before. You're a really skilled worker with lots of love/dedication and even more patience to do things right. Congrats.
Best regards
Postscriptum: This was the first of your videos I have watched but definitely not the last one!
I have only just found your channel through this video and already I am hooked. It's so relaxing to see a true artisan at work. It's also nice to know that all of the traditional skills of woodworking haven't died out and are still being used in these days of modern, quick, motorised work. I've subscribed and can't wait to see your other videos.
How can anyone do a thumbs down to this! Awesome carpentry, and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for your work on showing how to do some fabulous flooring.
Beautiful Craftsmanship. I have always loved seeing this style of Asian timber framing.
I very much look forward to seeing the progress on the rest of the floor system.
It is wonderful to see the beauty of craftsmanship brought to life in your video. To see the old ways preserved, amazing. Thank you for sharing with us!
대체 우리나라 마루까는법은 또 어떻게 아셨지...전부터 봐왔지만 대단합니다!
I need a dose of reality every day. This is as real as it gets. No BS here! Beautiful work and likewise filming. Thank you!
I don’t comment very often, whenever I go to RUclips your channel is the first I look for. Just Beautiful Work, THANK YOU for SHARING ‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Love that shelter tarp cover thing, I might use that at work.
Never expected to see the floor from a foreign youtuber's channel. I used to lay down on the floor in my younger days. Great work!
Thank you for the comment! How is my translation?
@@MrChickadee I am not an expert but if you build rooms around the Maru (floor) that is called as daechung-maru. It serves as a living room like in modern houses. ;) If it is a separate pavilion style (jung-ja in Korean), I frankly don't know whether it is called as Maru or not. Anyways, your work is beautiful. Can't wait for the next video.
Skilled young man there. Lovely to see some older hand tools being used too.
There is nothing like the sound of sharp tools on quality wood.
Fantastic. 과학과 지혜가 담긴 대단한 작품입니다. 👍
In a life full of stress, I found a lot of peace watching your work. Thank you
Amazing. Like a meditation watching this guy.
Wow. Impressed. On two levels: the man showing it and the people who developed it.
Can you be more of a man than Mr. Chickadee? I think the answer is no! I'm incredibly inspired and mind blown by the incredible amount of time patients and practice it must take to do this all by hand. Been watching you for years now, and I am always amazed at your work :)
At first thank you for your Videos, also that are truly very inspiring and a true lesson in calmness, precision and execution. You are truly working in a "beautiful" way , followed you trough your videos and I realised the way of the woodworking is practice, practice and practice, then the result comes.
Thank you thousand times.
Yes, thats correct, practice, many thousands of repititions. If you care to see, you can look at my earlier attempts at timber framing in the playlist "our timber frame workshop" on our channel, much different a few years ago!
@@MrChickadee I really enjoyed the work you have done in your workshop, from timber to heating . You inspired me also to buy old tools, mainly planes and some drills and learn to use them while putting them at good use. Cheers!
this is a beautiful video, and different from the ones that have come before. it is some combination of the simple joinery, the changing seasons, the way the wind catches the shavings and pulls them away from the plane, your patient dedication- some combination of these things makes this video unique.
sometimes you use a chisel with the bevel down, and sometimes with the bevel up. why is this?
Achilles 1776 u would have to understand the chickadee to know the soul of this man.
@@superdansilverman depends on application, bevel up to pair to a line or drive a mortise to another line, bevel down to steer and prevent going too deep, prevent digging in
The level of your crasftmenship and skills are a lost art. This is seriously impressive and you didn't use a single power tool. The most modern looking tool I saw was that hammer near the end of the video. Amazing!
The most modern looking tool is for sure his pencil :D Everything else: i agree. However, this is mainly a lost art because it just takes too long to craft everything by hand. That's why most people use powertools, you just can't (or aren't willing to) pay fully handcrafted stuff.
It's a joy watching this guy working. Using power tools in not a disgrace. They can make your life easier, in hands of a skilled craftsman, of course. In hands of an idiot even a pencil can become a deadly weapon.
This type of technique is absolutely beautiful.
thank you my teacher. peace love and respect
Beautiful to watch, there's no better feeling than using your basic hand tools, purity of work with a deep sense of appreciation.. hats off to Mr chickadee
When that timber popped in flush it was pure satisfaction. Complete respect for the craft.
. . . no talking, just letting the work show for itself your amazing skills. Thank you.
Your skills are just awesome. Appreciate your patience. Perfection is what you are. Learnt a lot of joinery skills from you.
I find these videos are the best and most calming way to start my day
I love your stuff, man! So calming. The echo when you land a blow puts me right where you are.
17:35 laying down on the job tut tut. Great to watch a craftsman at work. Lovely to watch. You must get a lot of satisfaction from your work, I know I do.
These are some of the most satisfying videos on the internet. Thank you so much for sharing.
Many folks hint at this in various ways, but there’s nothing unusual about Mr. Chickadee’s joinery...or the quality of his work...or the depth of his knowledge...or the range of methodologies he employees. What is AMAZING is that all these things occur in one human being who can’t be more than 25 (or 30 at the most) years old. To do what he does, at the level that he does, with the consistency that he does, is typically only found in men who are 90 years old. Can you imagine the body of work this kid will accumulate by the time he is 40? 50? 60? He will make Sam Maloof, Mike Pekovich, James Krenov and George Nakashima look like amateurs.
@@JayCWhiteCloud Yeah but on what website can we download your brain to get these skills? I'm in Alaska and would love to do this. I have the wood and the site but the only timber frame teacher that I know of in the state has proven to be a money hungry slag. I am even offering my site and resources for his class here. So I am looking for another, "artist" who would be willing to do a class here. I will provide food and tent space etc. so folks from outside the area could attend.
@@JayCWhiteCloud Thank you Sir.
Again, simply amazing skill, precision and patience.
I needed a good lie down after watching you build that floor. That was AMAZING. Well done from DownUnder 🇳🇿
Friend, kudos for using your saw both-handed. I enjoyed watching. Keep being yourself.
Unbelievable amount of work and it's not just the work but the cost for all that work. Which raises the question of economics in the process.
That floor is going to last more than 100 decads.amazing love your work.
I would love to learn this art.
Words cannot do justice to the fine work exhibited here!
Attractive, satisfying video. One thing I was taught by craftsmen born before 1900. Applies to both saw an file. Let it work in the sharp direction, lift it a bit and pull it back. This keeps the teeth sharp longer. With the file and metal, you don't fill the grooves. Between sharpenings you get more work done.
Love your work. As a Korean who was adopted I love learning about my Homeland =)
I'm korean, but actually most korean dont know how to make it. Thank you for video
Among the most beautiful video I ever seen.very pure.congrats sir
Astounding! Incredible patience and commitment to Quality.. Impressed doesn't even begin to cover it.. Well done indeed!
Look forward to watching the rest of this project...
Thank you! Cheers!
This is awesome. Woodworking, unfortunately, is a lost art in Korea. Good to see you are keeping it alive!
How satisfyiing it must be that after creating those complex joints to have them fit together perfectly.
Never tire from watching every moment....Thank You !
You videos are a respite for me.
Collecting the tools to build a simple cabin in the future.
멋있어요~👍very nice
Eu acho seu trabalho incrível,já estava sentindo falta de seus vídeos!
Brazil.
Razor-sharp tools in skilled hands make impossible things. Respect.
The reveal at the end when the beams connect is crazier then the end of The Six Sense. Mind blowing.
If you liked that you should love the boards!
Mr. Chickadee Hazaa!!!
Hi Mr. Chickadee, I hope you are doing well? Traditional Korean floor 대청마루 ( daecheongmaru) PART I -a wooden floor without nails, screws or glue was super amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, skills, and Exceptional Craftsmanship in your videos. Take care and wishing you the very best. Subscribed, liked, & shared. Back to more videos :D
I really enjoy the precision of your work, and that you build everything to last. I would like to see how you go about transferring your measurements with such confidence. Especially with so many angles. I'm looking forward to part two. Thank you for taking us along.
THe greatest aid is the combination of the center line layout, story pole and templates, all the angles are on the tmeplate, the measurements are on the story pole, and your mind can rest easy
@@MrChickadee thank you for the direction. I had never heard of a story pole before. I am thankful that you passed that onto me. I am looking forward to reading how it works. Best wishes and gratitude for you.
Educational and awe inspiring artistry. Your videos always put me in a good place. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words
Skillful.. Wow amazing to watch and a heart touching art. These day people don't know those tools anymore but those tools deserve to be in a art museum. I want to learn those talents too. 👍😍
Who can thumbs down this video? Amazing work as always! Thank you!
Watching those ribbons of wood shooting out of that wooden thingamajig....just about the most magical thing I've seen all week. Wow.
Your floor frame looks super solid Mr. C, thank you.
Good work. When I learned the boat building trade many many years ago I also used no power tools, I still have them all and pull them out with the least excuse.
Truly ambidextrous!!!!! Sawing and chiseling with both hands....awesome
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and I learn so much. I LOVE the way the frames lock together with those two wedges. Great Idea. Thanks
