"if it were a fish itd be a yellow tail caught in summer or spanish mackerel that is not fatty" that there, is another kind of love for your work poetic craftsmanship. great, simply
I really enjoyed getting to watch and listen to Shoyan and the gentleman assisting him. The joking back and forth about holding it for 15 minutes really reminded me of learning from my father when I was a young apprentice.
Hello, Tom here. I am a computer engineer that retired after 43 years, 8 months, and 14 days working for the same company. I think this is my favorite episode since I started watching your channel. Without question, my favorite part was watching you laugh! You have a very expressive face so sometimes I think I know how you are feeling even without your words. 😄 I think one of the most important indicators of the exceptional craftsman is the way he cares for his tools. I always get a huge smile on my face when I watch you caring for and sharpening your chisels! The obvious care taken when putting them away until the next time they are needed. I have been accused of being a number of things, but a carpenter was never one of them. Thank you for both educating and entertaining me! I understand that bowing in Japan can be used to signify emotions, including appreciation, respect, and gratitude. Please accept a virtual bow from me...
I tried to make this point on his last “DIY” project. I wonder if it’s a translation issue? He is literally doing it himself but maybe they don’t get that DIY means amateurs. (And I have zero Japanese … this is not a slight on their very good English skills.) Love the channel. I especially dig the way he goes for light and fast over big and strong in tools and clothes.
Two great tips implicit in this video: - A handsaw (especially a Japanese pull saw) is often faster than a power tool. - A sheet of rigid foam is invaluable as a platfork for the Skilsaw. It provides perfect support, withstands a bunch of cuts before it’s no good, and is super light.
I saw that in a short and the carpenter had been using the sheet he had for 3 years. If you keep your cuts shallow, you can flip it over and use the other side.
I love this guy! The craftmansship he presents is stunning. If you are Japanese and going in to the profession of carpenter you should strive to get this man as your master. 😂 And his a comedian 😂Love his sence of humor..
Could you show a quick segment on the different marking instruments you use and how you sharpen your pencils so perfectly? I love watching your videos, a real master at work, its fascinating to watch you.
Zen in the art of simple DIY splendid floor table Making. As usual, Master and apprentice Shoyan surpass all expectations, with sublime skill and timber knowledge. Domo Arigato.
The wealth of knowledge from this man about his trade is a real gift.. My father and grandfather had similar dedication to doing their best with wood projects.. Thank you..
This one was especially good. I enjoyed the parts where they were speaking Japanese (just the right amount), it helped to understand the subject better. I also gained some tool knowledge, thank you.
I like how the knots are considered a good thing of the wood because their uniqueness. Usually in Italy people consider knots a defect of the wood, I like them because they make a slab of wood unique and are decorative.
Exceptionally beautiful wood, beautiful slab. I would never have thought that cypress could have such intense colors of knots in opposition to the delicate shade of the trunk. I write to my memory "Kiso cypress", but without much hope that it will be possible bought in my country. I was very surprised when you mentioned imperfections in the video. In my opinion, the table is made in such a way that even the greatest master would have no reason to be ashamed.
May not be dynamic it is just mesmerizing. Thank you for doing the english channel. Thank your son for me. I can spend hours on my days off watching your quality work.Arigato!
Very lovely finish for your floor table. It doesn’t look like you gave up, it looks beautifully made. You are not accustomed to the look of this DIY style floor table. That is all. Good job. Good video.
Hello Shoyan San. Mike here from Texas, USA. I am very impressed with your skills. That Kiso Cypress is beautiful. I too, try to work with wood that has character, like American Hickory and Mesquite. I am learning from as well as enjoying your videos. ありがとう
To help your wood from sliding with wet glue add just a pinch of table salt to a few areas, then when wet glued wood is put together salt will bite into grain stopping the slide
❤ He is a perfect man how could we said DIY. ❤️ to watch his workmanship hopefully I can get his handicrafts back home ❤. Thank you Sir I'm 😊 Norraihan binti Ahmad from PONTIAN JOHORE MALAYSIA 🇲🇾
I love that you show your mistakes (like fitting the Dovetail). Seeing that the masters don't do everything perfectly the first try is so inspiring for those trying to get better.
I laughed in great joy when you did the comparison of the wood to the fish. As a chef I have worked with a lot of those fish and when you said it I immediately understood what you meant haha.
I love all the precision work with filling in the chip at the edge! I build guitars as a hobby, and whenever something goes wrong (the wood chips or cracks unexpectedly for instance) the repairwork is almost more enjoyable than the actual build, as you get to challenge yourself with how to hide the imperfection as neatly as possible. I am truly amazed by your skills and the gorgeous wood you work with!
Good Job, love you style of wood working and the various hand tools you use, especially your handplans. I will try now and translate this . here is goes お疲れ様です。木材加工のスタイルと、使用するさまざまな手工具、特にハンドプランが大好きです。 Otsukaresamadesu. Mokuzai kakō no sutairu to, shiyō suru samazamana tekōgu, tokuni hando puran ga daisukidesu.
Such care & attention to detail is amazing to watch. It is brilliant to see just how much you can achieve just by eye & not tools. A true craftsman. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
I think your greatest skill is that you're incredibly patient. We can all learn that from you. Not to mention, going from construction, to finish carpentry, then to fine furniture making is incredibly difficult! There is so much to know for each. Many kudos!
Nice video. You explained and showed it very well well! 👍🏻 Guess that the Kiso region is a colder region and that's why the Kiso cypress grows so slowly (10 cm - about 100 years). Nice greetings from Germany
Great video. One of my favorites so far because I make and sell bath stools on my Etsy store. I showed my process on my RUclips channel but my videos aren't as nice as yours are. I'm making a custom one now from Hinoki I got from a supplier in Tottori. I wish I could show you this flawless piece of wood. It's over 6 shaku long and 1 shaku wide at 33mm thick with zero knots and my shop smells wonderful now. It is an amazing wood to work with.
it's nice to hear your voices too, but it's nice with voiceovers too :-) I see many tools that are not available here, in Europe - that handheld shaper, the tool for measuring diagonal braces - do you mind giving as a shop tour / tool presentation?
Ничего я кроме классного инструмента не увидел, вот этому я сильно завидую. Умеют же японцы делать и затачивать инструмент, молодцы. Здоровья тебе, мастер.
Such a dying Art, Hand made craft in our world of Machines making everything. As for your finish, You can polish polyurethane to give that finish you are looking for. Awesome work, Thank you for sharing your Great skills.
I watch this channel to learn, and I learn a lot. But maybe I can give something back to this master ;-). If you lightly dust some kitchen salt in the glue, it will help prevent the piece from shifting under pressure. If the glue is really thick, or there is a lot of it, use large salt grains, such as sea salt.
Love this guy.Total all rounder who has remained loyal to how he was taught...using hand tools along with modern methods. Most woodworkers in the West wouldn't know what to do with a Chisel or Handsaw, let alone knowing how to keep them sharp.
Lol if you are wood worker and making furniture you know how to use wood working hand tools . I don't know one wood working furniture maker dont us hand tools so what you are saying is far from the truth.
This channel is such a gem. Craftsmanship like this needs to be more widespread.
Indubitably! Respect to Shoyan for his Video efforts and craftsmanship.
We're out here, doin our thing... At our own pace.
What I would do to apprentice from such a teacher! Incredible craftsmanship!
@@joduval Correct! Even if it was just an afternoon. I'd sponge it all up. :)
"if it were a fish itd be a yellow tail caught in summer or spanish mackerel that is not fatty" that there, is another kind of love for your work poetic craftsmanship. great, simply
"You struggled for this one chip."
I really felt that.
I really enjoyed getting to watch and listen to Shoyan and the gentleman assisting him. The joking back and forth about holding it for 15 minutes really reminded me of learning from my father when I was a young apprentice.

Don’t think I’d call it a DIY project if a master carpenter does it 😂
I wouldn’t say this guy is a diyer as he actually brands his projects
What??
Beautiful table I would love to own anything this man makes he puts so much work into his projects an it shows
I tried to make this point on his last “DIY” project. I wonder if it’s a translation issue? He is literally doing it himself but maybe they don’t get that DIY means amateurs. (And I have zero Japanese … this is not a slight on their very good English skills.)
Love the channel. I especially dig the way he goes for light and fast over big and strong in tools and clothes.
To be exact, Do It Yourself (DIY) is taking on a job you are not trained to do. I think he means it is Do It For Himself.
"It's a simple DIY dovetail joint" said nobody else ever 😂
Possibly one his most humble, reverent, charming videos yet. "Can I bring you a coffee!?" 😂
Two great tips implicit in this video:
- A handsaw (especially a Japanese pull saw) is often faster than a power tool.
- A sheet of rigid foam is invaluable as a platfork for the Skilsaw. It provides perfect support, withstands a bunch of cuts before it’s no good, and is super light.
And that foam won't scratch your wood!
I saw that in a short and the carpenter had been using the sheet he had for 3 years. If you keep your cuts shallow, you can flip it over and use the other side.
I love this guy! The craftmansship he presents is stunning. If you are Japanese and going in to the profession of carpenter you should strive to get this man as your master. 😂 And his a comedian 😂Love his sence of humor..

Those thin long shavings from hand plane are evidence how sharp that plane is and how well it is being used. What a joy to watch!
Use of "DIY" is very generous in this situation.... guy is amazing.
The wealth of knowledge from this man about his trade is a real gift.. My father and grandfather had similar dedication to doing their best with wood projects..
Thank you..
This is a nice table made from a nice wood. I also like that this video has more of Shoyan-san own voice.
Shoyan, I love to see you smiling and laughing as you held that repair in place. Glad you’re having fun while you do this wonderful work.
This one was especially good. I enjoyed the parts where they were speaking Japanese (just the right amount), it helped to understand the subject better. I also gained some tool knowledge, thank you.
The way you handled that chip speaks volumes about you Shoyan.....ha ha !!! great job!
I am more impressed by repair of the chip than by entire build of table.
I normally use sawdust and cold glue. It is hard to sand down properly but it looks ok when it is done.
I like how the knots are considered a good thing of the wood because their uniqueness.
Usually in Italy people consider knots a defect of the wood, I like them because they make a slab of wood unique and are decorative.
Exceptionally beautiful wood, beautiful slab. I would never have thought that cypress could have such intense colors of knots in opposition to the delicate shade of the trunk.

What a gem this channel is now I can't stop watching all of it!!!
Thanks!
これは驚くべきことだ!この完璧主義には驚かされる。同じレベルの職人がもっと増えればいいのに。このチャンネルには感服する。もし日本で家を建てる機会があれば、どこで専門家を探せばいいかわかる!あなたの経験を分かち合ってくれてありがとう。

First time I witnessed wood surgery. Amazing how seamlessly you patched that gap.
The table is beautiful. Stay safe.
Such a rare art and dedication. Our world needs such discipline.
Shoyan, you are the best!

I’ve seen this. It works. At first I thought it was someone making fun of Salt Bae.
He did a better job than some people who call themselves furniture makers
Arigatō, Such a beautiful table. The cypress is beautifully marked. But your craftsmanship is what brings it to light.
❤ He is a perfect man how could we said DIY. ❤️ to watch his workmanship hopefully I can get his handicrafts back home ❤. Thank you Sir I'm 😊 Norraihan binti Ahmad from PONTIAN JOHORE MALAYSIA 🇲🇾

Watching from Kazakhstan Appreciate your job work .....
Respected
I love that you show your mistakes (like fitting the Dovetail). Seeing that the masters don't do everything perfectly the first try is so inspiring for those trying to get better.
We are watching a gifted and talented MASTER craftsman. Love these videos Sir, thank you.
I laughed in great joy when you did the comparison of the wood to the fish. As a chef I have worked with a lot of those fish and when you said it I immediately understood what you meant haha.
In Japan a practitioner of this talent rises to the level of “National Treasure”. Artisan.
That is some beautiful wood with very tight growth rings. Great craftsmanship, as usual, in the construction of this floor table.
It's a very nice job and it pays to be particular 👍👍👍
Gotta say, these videos always get me motivated. Thanks for sharing Shoyan!
Beautiful craftsmanship and such a joy to watch this artist work his magic
Fish comparesment is on point. Keep going. And thank you.
you gotta love a good bit of timber 📦📥📤✏⛩🗾🗻🪵🪵
A beautiful table, beautiful workmanship, and beautiful tools.

You are so picky, a perfectionist, I think it is just beautiful. 😄
Wow. When I say DIY it's an excuse for error, but this is truly a master piece.

Mesmerising. And those planes - incredible quality and workmanship.
3:00 never seen a joiner/ planer before old and big cool
love the timber you are using
Nice video.
You explained and showed it very well well! 👍🏻
Guess that the Kiso region is a colder region and that's why the Kiso cypress grows so slowly (10 cm - about 100 years).
Nice greetings from Germany
Beautiful table, love the knots and live edge !!!! Especially the large one in the middle !!!!
I am always in awe of your craftsmanship and patience! Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Very nice craftsmanship. I enjoyed watching
Amazing simple yet absplutely beautiful :O
Great video. One of my favorites so far because I make and sell bath stools on my Etsy store. I showed my process on my RUclips channel but my videos aren't as nice as yours are.

Very very nice work as always 👌👍💯
Shoyan san, Truly Superb Job!
Kiso-wood + Shoyan = A beautiful table.
I understand what you mean with "dry wood". Always nice to see you work, thank you for the video.
Beautiful table! Well done. Wonderful, informative and entertaining episode!
Humorous presentation shows human side we can all relate to.
Very satisfying beauty in the large nots! You can do finish work on all my tables - you know what to use and why you made that choice.😊
it's nice to hear your voices too, but it's nice with voiceovers too :-) I see many tools that are not available here, in Europe - that handheld shaper, the tool for measuring diagonal braces - do you mind giving as a shop tour / tool presentation?
Ничего я кроме классного инструмента не увидел, вот этому я сильно завидую. Умеют же японцы делать и затачивать инструмент, молодцы. Здоровья тебе, мастер.
Nice job, Ienjoyed watching the project !
美しい芸術作品。 共有してくれてありがとう!
Amazing work my friend!!! Great video!!!

It’s always a pleasure to watch you work and appreciate your undoubted skills Shoyan.👍👍
I enjoy watching this top notch craftsman doing his work. A true inspiration
I watch this channel to learn, and I learn a lot. But maybe I can give something back to this master ;-). If you lightly dust some kitchen salt in the glue, it will help prevent the piece from shifting under pressure. If the glue is really thick, or there is a lot of it, use large salt grains, such as sea salt.
That is very beautiful timber colour especially with the knots. Take care 👍😀😀😀
Yeyyy. Shoyan video. It’s gonna be a good morning.
