"Maybe I got lucky". No luck is involved in such careful planning and precise craftsmanship! Masters seldom rely on luck and are very modest about their skills! Thanks
Luck is basically the byproduct of experience and more grinding interms of his skill set. If done well then ofc based on skill, luck will come to play as well
My father always used to tell me the proper way to do things, and when I would point out that he didn't do it that way, he would tell me, "Do as I say, not as I do." and that's how it felt when you said 'I apologize for telling you this even as I do it myself.'
As an American contractor I am always so jealous of the quality of your timber. Much less that people are still willing to pay for this level of care and attention to detail. So many people want it done as quickly as possible to save money.
If it wasn't for the language barrier, I'd love to go and spend time in Japan to learn Japanese woodworking. True professionalism right there, love your work. Another great video as always, cheers :)
There is a really good video about taking apart a Japanese house that was built a150 years ago all hand cut dovetail and mortise and tenon joinery very cool stuff it's on RUclips, check it out
Everything is stunning. I would buy a small bottle jack though for instances with that post where stuff has sunk rather than try to push with the plastic posts. a small 6 or 9 ton bottle jack will lift that nicely. I like to lift the floor 1/16" higher than it needs to be put the post in, then back it off that little bit until its level.
I am a carpenter from Germany. And after watching many videos of yours. I can say that there are many similarities in carpentry work and tradition between Germany and Japan.
Your craftsmanship is superb as is your work ethic. I would find it very interesting to learn more about your chisels; things like how long you’ve had them, how you decide which one to use, sharpening, some instruction on how to use them, when do you replace old ones and seeing your entire collection. Same with your planes and saws. Thanks for your videos I enjoy them very much.
It is enjoyable to see that you practice the same careful and meticulous craftsmanship while doing repair work that you practice doing new construction
speaking of cutters, a few years back I trying to cut some paper with a cutter and a plastic ruler. The cutter was so sharp it cut into the ruler, and later into my finger. I learned my lesson that plastic rulers are only for drawing, not cutting. I also learned that if the blade is sharp, It could be able to cut with not so much force applied to it. Oh and yester I was cutting 300g paper with a cutter (again). The paper was so thick I can't cut it at one go. I have to score the line a few time until both side separate from each others. Can't imagine my hobby cutter (OLFA) would cut into anykind of plywood lol.
This video has to be a tribute to your enormous knowledge & extremely high skill level Shoyan. No matter what the project is you share with us, it is always a joy to watch you & listen as you so clearly explain what you are doing & why you are doing it this way. Thanks for being so open in your work. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
I like your sense of humor, and I believe that as good of a craftsman you are, there is no such thing as luck, I believe it is due to a high level of skill. Thank you for the video, enjoyed watching.
Thank you again for a beautiful and educative video. The observational skills, the craftsmanship - everything is amazing to watch. Great to know that quality work like this is still done somewhere in the world.
I don't know what happened with the original ''VOICE-OVER'' speaker, but I sure do miss it. オリジナルの「VOICE-OVER」スピーカーに何が起こったのかはわかりませんが、確かに懐かしいです。 Orijinaru no `vu~oisu - ōba' supīkā ni nani ga okotta no ka wa wakarimasenga, tashika ni natsukashīdesu.
Its realy nice that you have a Engish commentary Version of your Videos. But what ever happened... Ive noticed a while ago, that you have someone new to do the English talking. Dont get this wrong, but i liked the old Commentator more (the voice) and i dont think, that im the only one :S
Did the old narrator leave? Not liking the British sounding A.I. No middle support for the lower step? Seems like a bad design. At least support the step in the center where the highest traffic is. Love the work. If possible, change back to the old narrator please :)
The fact that he made 7 notches on the plywood to facilitate screwing tells you everything you need to know.. Stunning work as usual.

If it is down to luck, this may be the luckiest man alive. His fitting is always millimetre perfect.
We all know this is not just luck.
As soon as I heard Shoyan say that, I came to the comments to say the same. Not luck sir, that is humility and skill at its finest.
Luck! No luck for this guy. Just pure attention to detail and exceptional skill.

The pure dad energy of "do as I say not as I do" while using the square to guide the knife.

People are willing to pay but it is sucked out by the middle men.
Very high-end work.
Except for that 1/4 inch plywood for a step. What the heck
Consider charging by the job rather than hourly if you want to work like this.

Would love to see your vehicle setup or toolbox setup
He has a video about his tool setup
I have been doing this work for 30 years. I enjoy watching your skill and confidence very much. A real thing of beauty. And a sense of humor..😅

Thx Shoyan!
Quite the graceful slip I must add 🙏🏿🤗

NEXT time?!?! But i can't wait that long to see it finished!!

I am amazed at Japanese carpentry. I am an architect here in Seattle WA USA. Your work is so amazing. I can lear so much. Thank you.

Very nice renovation, love the wood entrance.

A true master of his game
Carpenter keeps saying Kimachi. I keep thinking of Sushi. ❤❤❤
Amazing work from a true craftsman keep up the great work.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What more can be said, you are a credit to your profession!
Beautiful work as always. Thank you for showing the work.

More likely skill and experience !!! ❤
Excellent work and it's interesting to see renovation in an existing house.
The work of a master.👏🏻 Eagerly awaiting the next video.
Love seeing the hand planing. I'm gonna set up my first kanna tomorrow. Can't wait
Respect mister. I love your work.
The master at work 👌🍻
Another great video, and thankyou for taking the time to translate for us.
Awesome video! Really appreciate your concern for your viewers safety.
You have amazing skill!
I appreciate your work.
The new voice surprised me
Firstttttt. Great video as always!
Always attention to detail and a great amount of craftmanship. Broavo Shoyan!
I don't know what happened with the original ''VOICE-OVER'' speaker, but I sure do miss it.

Watching the results of your work is like watching what Michelangelo's has made
How come thick wood like that of a stair tread is not used on the step of the kamachi?
What brand is that cross cut square with a handle?
Great work and great video as always. If you dont mind me asking, why are the floorboards made.of plywood? Is that common in Japan?
That's sub-flooring. Next episode he'll put down Hinoki (Cypress) floorboards.
@@disqusrubbish5467 No, the old floorboards that he ripped up were ply.
@@Merlin55611 I see what you're asking. I thought you meant the sub floor he put down.

You just know its been done right.
👍👍👍
bring back the old Shoyan voice :D please
❤❤
Maybe lucky maybe not. An old American golfer once said "The better I play the luckier I get."
You know when your guy cuts planks with a hand saw he's not screwing around.
I miss the other English voice, even though he sounded too young. I assumed it was the carpenter's son?
I wish there was an option without the voice and just subtitles
Volume? Mute?
Bring back the old narrator!
Measure twice cut once, luck I don't think so.
09:00 :DD
Delamination = punctured
Did the old narrator leave? Not liking the British sounding A.I.
No middle support for the lower step? Seems like a bad design. At least support the step in the center where the highest traffic is.
Love the work. If possible, change back to the old narrator please :)
you are old enough! dont hammer the wood into place with your hand use a hammer, i can hear my father yelling at me when you do that.
yo go back to the old voice
