U can tell this man works all day. Just look at those freakin arms. My arms and whole body will be buggered if I do the work this man does. But he doesnt seem to slow down even for his age 😅 You have my RESPECT sir 🙇🙇🙇🙇
as a carpenter in Canada, this is fascinating to watch and see how things are done in Japan. I wish people took the kind of pride in their work that you have shown.
In my experience it's not always the tradesman fault, some guys want to take pride in their work but the budget and planning often mean everything is done in a rush for the cheapest price possible. I have literally just done two renovations where the client wanted a 4 star hotel finish on a bed and breakfast budget in the shortest time possible, you do your best but there's a limit to what can be achieved.
@@bamberlamb6512 excellent point as this is something I often ran into where clients simply didn't want to take the time and effort necessary to do things "the right way", in my opinion. Which is why I got into custom furniture building and now it takes as long as it takes to do it "the right way".
Amazing to see large timbers being nicely flat, straight, no twistings, and all pieces fit together flawlessly. You are true masters with great carpentry skills as well as detailed thoughts of preplaning and dedication to your task ahead. Such an exemplar for many to follow.
@8:07 That tool is some type of right angle adapter. Can you check to see if there are any markings on it? Also can you do a video going over each of your tools that you use most often? I am really interested in the large layout tool that you use to measure and mark your wood.
“Bolt tightener.” Change is never easily accepted. I have been fascinated in the lumber you use - in the preparation. I would like to see how your lumberyards work. Hand planing, tenons, and mortises indicate craftspeople working with the architects. Thank you for your videos.
@08:12 Thats a neat too! I feel like most would just use a tight-clearance ratcheting socket wrench. Never seen one coupled so you can attach a drill to it. Maybe it falls under "Box-End" as well.
The awesome tool used at 8:05 is called an offset extension wrench. Can only find that version with through holes when I search in Japanese. Western variants only have socket adapters so not as slim and couldn't be used in this application for example.
haha, i'm learning Japanese, and when i saw the label that said 本屋 i said "hon'ya!" to myself out loud right when Shoyan did! but i thought the real reading for 'main roof' would have been "hon'oku", since "hon'ya" already means 'bookstore'... always nice to learn some carpentry terms though
Thank you for the English translation.!!! The hands of a true craftsman…the skill level is incredible!!! How do your buildings perform in earthquakes? I would think your joints give but don’t break…are there tests by the government about the design of joints? I live in California… many, many quakes…
Excellent work and skill. But may I suggest a 3/8 or 1/2 inch impact wrench instead of a 1/4 driver adapter. Also the black impact sockets to go with it.
@@4376ED we can only have farmed lumber unless you go straight to a mill but then good luck getting your lumber graded for building purposes wich you need done by an engineer. So yes our government is preventing it unfortunately
@@joelchrysler6238 i think you'll find the building industry is way more conservative and afraid of change than any government. so if you want to change something, address the building industry. japanese framing is built on centuries old traditions, they're just generally better at preserving their culture than other places.

Totally agree 💯 I'm also a Canadian carpenter, we do custom prideful work similar to this, but I wish this was the industry standard
@@vincentjohnston4661 like they say: "good, cheap, or fast, pick two". People here in Canada want cheap and fast unfortunately

Thank you for adding the translator and sub-titles you tube translation was very bizarre to say the least .
That portal gear tool is nifty!
Another great show thanks Shoyan

2:00 Working men almost always respect and accomodate someone who cares about their craft enough to be involved at all stages.

I enjoy the dry sense of humour
You operate a very organized job site, 👍 Thank You for allowing us to see.🙏
I'm so lucky I can catch the beginning of this new season! I look forward to your continued videos.
I enjoy watching all of your videos.
It would be a dream to construct a house in this manner. Very wholistic and clean!

Amazing planning and engineering! Wise use of time and materials.
Great progress!
You sir, are a master. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for interesting videos of your craftmanship. 🙏
I do get curious what the cost is for having a house like this made?
Does Japan exclusively do timber framing, or do they also do stick framing like the US and Canada?
Something weird happened, I didn't get a notification for this video.
what is the name of that tool at the 8:00 minute mark? Where can one get this thing? Who makes it?
Was all those joins made in the workshop - or is there a factory producing these?
Factory
While I'm enjoying the 2nd episode I want to give props or thanks to the person blurring sensitive logos or information. It's quite tastefully done.
Are most houses in Japan built this way?
Excellent work and skill. But may I suggest a 3/8 or 1/2 inch impact wrench instead of a 1/4 driver adapter. Also the black impact sockets to go with it.
After this you’d be utterly disgusted to see how we frame houses in North America 😅 2x4s, saw, and thousands of nails.
Are all homes timber framed in japan? Our government in canada makes it almost impossible to get timbers like this unless you're a millionaire
