I’m a carpenter in the USA. I hate doing renovations because usually it entails redoing someone else’s shoddy work from a decade or two ago, 50 years at most. If we had more well crafted buildings like this that are worth preserving, I could see this work being quite fulfilling. I can see you enjoy your craft. You are blessed.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you 😊

[@oldgoatsgarden4897]

Quite a project well done. I especially like the use of the naturally curved timbers. Well worth the extra effort that they require in fitting.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Cheers! 😊🙌

[@SujMenon]

Ahh.. that natural curve of the wood on the frame. awesome craftsmanship 👌

[@dylaniwakuni]

A fascinating project! I may be weird, but I really liked the demonstration of what can happen to timber over the years. This is not just an art project, these are real repairs, seeing those is a rare thing here on YT. I am not the biggest fan of "natural" wood or "live edges", but that is just personal preferrence, I know these are traditional in Japan. Seeing those being made, however, was a sight to behold. The skill with the axe and especially the lady with the adze (?) were very impressive. Please tell me that she is a professional carpenter, I may need to know that for my motivation. 😆
It's a lot of work, but it's getting there. Please keep us updated!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you for the kind comment! Happy to hear you’re enjoying the process! 😊🙌

[@rolandgdean]

What a wonderful bit of "sashimono" that is. I wonder, is the wood left untreated or do you apply a weather resistant finish to it next? I've been eagerly looking forward to this video for a month following on IG. Great work and great content. Thank you.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks 😊
The wood is generally left untreated but for those exposed to the elements, it’s stained with oil.

[@DonDeTango]

It will be wonderful!
But a lot of manual work!
👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@alexandergiesser]

This is so cool and beautiful!

[@ricos1497]

Beautiful work again sir. Can I ask, do the beams need to be attached to the stonework below, or do they just sit on the stones using gravity?

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks, they just sit on top of the stones

[@ingridseim1379]

Uh... How safe in a big earthquake is it to be under the load carried by those posts on stones? I'm not a troll, I'm honestly asking. Are there other things about the house that keep it so safe it doesn't matter if the foundation is basically vertical posts balancing on rocks.

… Грамотно же было до этого сделано. 0:10 Ну сгнило, бывает. Надо было заменить на новые элементы. А сейчас дырище над дверью.
