That's the japanese humility. He's probably better at oiling wooden floors than 95% of people working in this trait but considers himself to be an "amateur". In Japan it's underpromising and overdelivering, in the west it's the other way around.
Even a master has something to learn. No one is perfect, each time you do something you have an opportunity to improve, especially if your skill set is as complex and varied as his.
@@ltandrepants. Look at the title of the video. He says ‘install’ not finish. However, I was referring to the philosophy of life, not the actual task. It maybe too Zen to grasp, but fairly fundamental.
Shoyan's skill is unrivalled, and I am sure he is proud of your skill producing these beautiful documentaries of his work - in additition to joining in with your own contributions to the building process! Compliments to the two craftsmen.
i bet that cost a pretty penny. that lumber i bet is high doller plus your labor. you allways do great work.i have a friend that is a perfectionist like you hes a great wood worker .
The quality of your work & your sublime skills just mesmerise & make you want to come back more & more to view the beauty you produce. Thanks Shoyan for the joy you bring. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Hi, I have been watching your video's for a week now and your attention to detail is beautiful to watch. I love Japanese woodwork, you are a true artist and your pallet is wood. Thank you for sharing. Jim in Liverpool UK
Your project came out amazing! I put in bamboo flooring in my old house. I used the same techniques that you showed. It helps me know that I did a good job if a master like you is doing the same thing as I did. Domo Arrigato Godaimas.
There is something so amazing about watching someone build and show the end product of something they did! I always love to watch videos of people building things with their own two hands. lovely video indeed.
So much skill! The quality of your work, your sublime skills just mesmerise & make us want to come back more & more to view the beauty you produce. Thank you Shoyan-San for the joy you bring. Cheers, Artemus in Southern California
Again, Hinoki is my absolute favorite species to work with. That looks like the "muji" grade you spoke of before. It's just SO beautiful. If I could get Hinoki here, I would hardly work with much else.
Beautiful sir. I want this floor in my home but it's so hard to get hinoki in America and unfortunately with pets and with people tending to on occasion walk with shoes in the home I fear the wood would get dinged up.
Looks very beautiful, I noticed he didn't leave any room for board expansion in Japan's very humid summers and dry winters. Is that standard procedure?
I wonder about it myself. Maybe the moisture content at installation is already larger than expected. But I’m just guessing here. Otherwise, such tightness could soon become a nightmare. Especially those steps, without a backing board.
I love the finish on the boards - i did build tables austria in the alps out of whole timber myself. After the last snow the whole tables where cover in all these little drops of water on the coating it looked to magnificient.
beveling the backside of the last board to squeeze it into place. A shame I hadn't thought of that trick when I was installing an oak floor some 25 years ago.
Shoyan, I am curious about the construction of the first step. Why is it left open with support on the edge of the flooring and not completely supported by blocking and a subfloor?
I have been following a younger man learning carpentry in Japan, but it seems that the portion that he is doing is only cutting the joints and assembling the framing. Is this the common division of skills there?
Really curious, I can see how tightly you are cutting the floors to the wall, is this wood not prone to expansion? Apologies if this has already been asked or I missed it in the video.
Beautiful work. It does concern me that everything is so tightly fit, though. Any increase in moisture in those boards could cause problems. I’ve always left a gap along the wall, covered by the baseboard.
I love this content, but this was a harder video to watch. There was a lot of commentary from the ai at the start and the tone of voice combined with LOTS of talking made me switch off. It all got far too busy

He says at one point, "even an amateur like me."😂😂😂Carpenter San, I wish I only had 10% of the knowledge that you have working with wood.👏👏💪💪

He was referring to the finishing process

They probably have masters in the craft of coating woods too. I wonder what their work looks like.
I’m a carpenter myself and I swear I am ready to unlearn and have this guy teach me lol. I learned so many little details just in this video
This man builds houses as precise as we build furniture haha
Very enjoyable!
You are a professional.
You would put to shame the carpenter here in the USA. I truly enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you so much.
We have the skills here, but they are working on multiple million dollar homes. Few and far between 😢
Shoyan's skill is unrivalled, and I am sure he is proud of your skill producing these beautiful documentaries of his work - in additition to joining in with your own contributions to the building process! Compliments to the two craftsmen.
Wow! That floor looks beautiful after the oil and polishing .
Your attention to detail is amazing ad the floor looks beautiful Shoyan. Thank you for the video.👍👍
The floor gives off a warm feeling. One feels like, one could lay on it all day.
i bet that cost a pretty penny. that lumber i bet is high doller plus your labor. you allways do great work.i have a friend that is a perfectionist like you hes a great wood worker .
Love the Japanese construction way .
Your attention to detail is incredible.
Beautiful work. The floor is outstanding.
Nice to see you using Kreidezeit oil from my home country! I use those oils and other products from the for years with great success.
Ridiculously precise with those cuts
Unfortunately, quality and attention to detail are difficult to find throughout today's workforce. Much respect for the work that you do Shoyan.
The quality of your work & your sublime skills just mesmerise & make you want to come back more & more to view the beauty you produce. Thanks Shoyan for the joy you bring. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
So much skill at 4:29

I have been watching you for a couple years now and am always impressed with your skill.

Good job
Another awesome project that was a pleasure to watch unfold. Thanks for the video.
The new floor gives that part of the house a much brighter and lighter appearance. 👍😀😀
great work, many greetings from germany
That's incredible progress for no progress at all! Such beautiful work, such beautiful wood.
UNREAL how good this looks. wow!
You aren't an amateur! You are a Pro!!!
simply beautiful!

Very nice, thank you.
There is nothing amatuer about you and your work sir. Much love from the US.

I've been watching these videos since you had the different voice over. You are an amazing carpenter. I am glad to learn from you sensei.
Please keep making building videos. They are my favourite. New Zealand.
Yeah, that wood is gorgeous. And your usual masterful skills.
I love the finish on the boards - i did build tables austria in the alps out of whole timber myself.
After the last snow the whole tables where cover in all these little drops of water on the coating it looked to magnificient.
Amazing work 💓💓💓
Beautiful, Beautiful job Master. Pleasure to watch a master at his craft, Very professional.
I ever get the money im definitely getting a japanese styled home
Stunning work not a fault to be seen
素晴らし！
Nice.
Beautiful, the wood looks great.
And I think its a 10put of 10.
Master at his craft!
The hinoki cypress looks so warm and inviting! Beautiful craftsmanship as always Shoyan San!
beveling the backside of the last board to squeeze it into place. A shame I hadn't thought of that trick when I was installing an oak floor some 25 years ago.
Awesome craftsmanship
An amazing transformation! Once again your skill and experience are on display.
Always a joy to watch and learn from your skill and experience.
What a beautiful piece of work!
Simply beautiful and a work of art.❤
Brilliant work.
Always a pleasure - thank you for sharing.
Beautiful job thanks for showing us.
Looks so nice.
Beautiful work, sir!
fantastic video
どうもありがとうございます ❤❤
Wonderful work
Top quality work!
Thank you
Beautiful.
It's art!!
Another beautiful job !!!
Stunning work 👌
beautiful work.
but are they not supposed to have a little gap around for expansion?
how long do you let the wood acclimate to the dwelling? since it is so tight will it expand and buckle
❤ the best
Do you not need to account for expansion and contraction? Since all the boards are tight to the border
Shoyan, I am curious about the construction of the first step. Why is it left open with support on the edge of the flooring and not completely supported by blocking and a subfloor?
Does anyone know where I could get the fabric hanging behind Shoyan-San at the end?
I'm wondering since you tightly fit the floorboards how do you calculate the expanding of the wood or does this type not have that?!
What exactly makes this entrance Japanese like? Looks nice
Arigato!
Why there is no expansion gap allowing expansion and contraction of wood ?
Beautiful!!!!!!
-God bless

I have been following a younger man learning carpentry in Japan, but it seems that the portion that he is doing is only cutting the joints and assembling the framing. Is this the common division of skills there?
That first floor board looked like a pain in the neck I would hate having to do that
Very good, native English speaker level spoken English. Is this narrated or is it the craftsman speaking…?
Really curious, I can see how tightly you are cutting the floors to the wall, is this wood not prone to expansion? Apologies if this has already been asked or I missed it in the video.
It's a good question, and since I know the level of experience, here, I'm sure expansion has been addressed...
So there is no consideration for seasonal woodmovement? This looks very tight.
Can Someone please link me his mitersaw?
how long is the average work day for a carpenter in japan ? anyone know
👍👍👍
Thank you from Long Beach, California USA...the Democratic side
❤❤
Beautiful work. It does concern me that everything is so tightly fit, though. Any increase in moisture in those boards could cause problems. I’ve always left a gap along the wall, covered by the baseboard.
and it's glued to the bottom too
I reckon, as a hunch, a master carpenter with 50+ years’ experience in his country and with the local woods, knows what he’s doing… 🤦♂️
Is it me or does he sound different now?
Japan 90/100. - rest of the world 250/100
I'm sorry but the AI voice still throws me off, it just makes it hard to enjoy the video. Hoping you go back to the original narrator!
I love this content, but this was a harder video to watch. There was a lot of commentary from the ai at the start and the tone of voice combined with LOTS of talking made me switch off. It all got far too busy
“Hello, I’d like to get a new floor”
“Why yes, we’ll call you when we’re done in about 14 months”
I liked the other narrators voice better.
I still can't get used to the AI voice..
