It takes a fair bit of time but the process isn't that complicated. Here is how I layout and cut my wood scarf joints.

Glad it worked out that you ended up having to get 2 shades of wood. That scarf joint DESERVES to be shown like that. Beautiful.
Agreed, i really like both joints just they way they are. Looks great samurai!
Couldn't agree more!
Agreed, contrast is the spice of life.
Gorgeous work!
Ajey agreed. The fit is so well done that it would have disappeared with exact colored wood.
Absolutely beautiful, as usual. I'm trying to imagine the reaction of some grizzled old building inspector who shows up expecting to find the usual crapola that passes for construction and finding this instead.
I think this is my new favorite video from the Samurai. So many parts to that puzzle that have to fall into place to pull it off. Truly amazed at all the elements he was able to wrangle in three dimensions over a long distance. Wow.
Kinda puts into perspective the pos commercial doorset I congratulated myself on installing yesterday. Thanks, mate. Gonna sit in the van and have a little sob while I contemplate my inadequacy now. Thanks....
Samurai, this is one of your best instructional videos and the music was very well done. Continued success to you and yours on our mutual paths of enlightenment.
One of your best videos ever, beautiful work,
Wranglerstar -Cant wait to see your scarf joints!
hey nice i like this guys videos too
And he's even getting nice amount of view without clickbait.
tyvek05 its a real shame you're missing out on great free content lately because you're fixated on titles. Your loss man.
I get your point but honestly if you want to use video titles as a guide to find the videos you're actually interested in you're kind of fucked with Wranglerstar's titles.
Even if it turns out that you do actually want to watch the majority of his videos, the exceptions will leave you disappointed and after a while you'll just stop checking the content all together.
I loved the fact that you allowed the camera to keep filming the whole process (then sped it up during the editing phase) so that we could all see all the steps involved! Awesome video...and I think I speak for everyone when I say...the end results kind of speak for themselves!! Beautiful!! (Looks like Mother Nature finally gave you a bit of a break so you could install that beam ;) )
Samurai I have been building homes for 20 years and I have never seen work this good! I bow to you buddy :-) Very nice!
I think I'm in love... this is seriously the most satisfying and beautiful thing I've ever seen. Thank you Samurai for inspiring me to get into the craft and build awesome things!
Nice looking scarf joint. Perhaps as only a deck this didnt matter to you, but for sake of general knowledge and especially those just learning the craft, it would be wise to mention that scarfs should not be placed over posts, and if they are they should be supported further by a corbel.
Thanks Mr Chickadee. Do you put corbels on both sides or one is enough?
You have no idea what you’re talking about kid. Lol jk
@@zacdredge3859 the supporting Corbel goes underneath the timber it is strengthening
@@Tierone1337 you could have bothered to take a little time to search Chickadee out…
Everytime I hear about an earthquake in Japan I think of this sort of temple carpentry and joinery and of course it makes sense. The beauty of it is sublime and its the best example of form and function being harmonious and right.
Seriously the best TH-cam channel when wanting no nail timber frame. You and Chickadee….I’m building in Ecuador without the fancy tools and milled lumber- great to see!
It must be pretty sweet knowing you've got one of the best North American scarf joint videos on the internet now eh? Congratulations, Jesse
Big views, big views, big views!
Thanks Mitch.
Go and look at Mr. Chickadees channel for some unsung quality work .

Absolutely beautiful joinery.
this was absolutely beautiful, amazing work as usual, you are an absolute beast!
You are an inspiration!!!
I have no carpentry background or skills. I grew up in Hawaii but about 20 years ago I had to move to Chicago and then I ended up in Indiana and probably won't ever move now. I live on a big wooded lot where there's good oak all over. One day I picked up a nice piece and even though I don't have any woodworking skills, I decided I was going to carve a Tiki, to remind me of home. I started playing with tools and buying a few things and now I'm hooked. I wish I had more time to really get into woodworking. I want to build and create like you do. Your work is amazing. Thank you for producing these videos! Hopefully when I retire I will be able to develop a few skills and have a hobby I can enjoy when I'm older.
You never cese to amaze me with your talent. I can imagine that scarf joint (Kanawa Tsugi) stayed in your head for years after seeing it for the first time in a book of Japanese joinery, and you patiently waited for the opportunity to bring it to life on your own home. Well done grasshopper Samurai!
MM
Deadset awesome! You certainly don't do things by half!!!
This is beyond awesome, and it just keeps getting better and better! You rock!
This is the joint that I use on beam. I learned this in Japan working with Japanese Carpenter working on a Temple. Stongest joint I have ever seen. They have buildings with these joints that are haundred mayby thousands of years old. Thank you for putting this on here.
I've watched every video and been following since you were in the old shop but I've never felt more pure excitement while watching you work than when the whole beam finally seated properly! I know that feeling all too well and it really doesn't get better than when your hard work and hours into a project pay off like that!
I can't thank you enough for this incredible content and Jesse, you're truly one of a kind!
Absolutely amazing man the craftsmanship is beautiful Samurai!!
Your work is inspiring. absolutely beautiful. Love the contrast of the wood. I am excited for you. Thank you for another great video
Can't like this video hard enough. Great job. Glad there is a way for you to make something like this and be able to enjoy it yourself. Every professional woodworker's dream. May you always enjoy it.
Something really satisfying about watching the joints go together so snug and putting that final piece across holding it together
That's beautiful and inspiring man. Great job.
Jessie. You are the man. That joint should be celebrated.
Those tools though.
multi layered chain saw plunge router and portable bandsaw.
you are living the carpentry dream.
I'm not jealous ( that's a lie).
Inspirational craftsmanship from the one and only Samurai Carpenter. Kudos to you master.
Man. This is what we all wish we could do. I just wish I had a shop bigger than my single bay garage so I could try. As always, thanks for the awesome vid. I think I just passed one year as a patreon supporter. Rock on!
I've never seen that tool before. The ryobi chain saw plunge. Terrific tool!
Same
I want one, I can think of a million ways i could use that
Lookin good Jesse. It's gonna look awesome when it's fully complete.
I think in general, our society has become so cost conscientious, that we forgo true craftsmanship. Excellent work my friend.
It make me so happy to see that people like you still exist!
awesome job 👍 craftsmanship at its finest
You are an incredible craftsman.
Beautiful, inspirational craftsmanship. Please take the same amount of time on your back as you do on creating these works of art. You pop a disk and your craftsmanship will suffer needlessly because you have an assistant standing right there to lend you a hand. I think I speak for all your followers when I say that we want you around for many, many years healthy and happy Sempi (teacher). Thank you for sharing your artestry. Kohi (student)
The mix of hand tools and power tools to create traditional joinery is something I can really appreciate. It's a work smarter not harder mentality.
lookin really nice! good job samurai.
Beautiful!! Bit of a better week this week huh, Samurai? It looks amazing!
Wow! What a great carpenter. I bow down to your cutting skills and calculations. Such work needs a calm mind and patience.
Hi, Well Done, I am also a joiner and used the exact same joint on a six-metre long timber for a garden room on the rear of my house. I have to say it is the best joint I have ever used when wedged it was possible to lift the timber at the joint with no joint movement at all. I am in awe of Japanese joinery and I, as I think you do, find the use of their tools particularly their planes almost a spiritual experience. Great work and vids!
Very nice Kanawa Tsugi! Turned out excellent, well done :)
I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online?
Would love to see a video just on the layout of the Japanese scarf joint. You know covering the sizes and over all length of the joint in relation the size of the timber, etc.....
Bump. According to "The Art of Japanese Joinery" (p. 107), it seems that such proportions should be: total length of the joint = beam thickness x4.
I'm very interested in Japanese carpentry, so videos like this are the main reason I subscribe to your channel. This was a really interesting video! He shoots...he scores!
Taking care of the first Beam like a Boss Jesse, your helper just stood there like "wtf dude, you told me to jump over here and now you pick the whole thing up!!?" Crack me up, that would be my Son and I. Beautiful work brother, PS your shirts arrived the other day, have been wearing them with pride. Honor the Craft!!!
Is this the type of joint that keeps the wood's neck warm in the winter?
yes
It's the type of joint that makes the wood look stylish year round. :^)
It is the other kind that makes you warm and fuzzy
that multi-tool looks Fein!
Made in Germany is best!!!
Makita is good too - nice price and solid quality, no doubt ;-)
I've watched this video 3 times and am still in awe. Thanks for sharing your gift - its encouraging.
Japanese precision is amazing!! I was working with a Japanese chippy a few years back and he had entrusted me to fix up some batoning.... he came back and was standing 30 feet away when he called out no no no! I turned to him confident I had done a good job... he touched a baton an said.... not square!! Remembering that that was one of only two batons I hadn’t used the level on! He saw it instantly from 30 feet away!!
Another time he was sharpening a plane blade for what seemed an eternity..... i asked him what was taking so long.... he calmly looked me in the eye and said.... how can it work for me if I don’t work for it? Amazing craftsman he was... amazing as always samurai!
You sir are an amazing woodworker, a true artist.
Obviously there is a pattern for this joint that can be scaled up or down to the size of the timber. Do you have these measurements that you could make available? Also, would you use a different joint if the load was vertical instead of horizontal?
I've been looking forward to this video for a long time, but it was worth the wait. Love the contrasting wood, really shows off all the craftsmanship. Thanks for letting me see your mistakes and how you fixed them. Its great info.
There is carpentry and there is art. The way you combine the two is inspiring. It draws you in. You look at it... You look again. Then you try to comprehend. This a demonstration of how inspiration, then planning then just doing it becomes reality.
Have you placed a scarf joint in a cantilevered point, in other words not directly over a load bearing post? many traditional post & beam buildings place the scarf so it is at the end of a cantilever, this provides a structural bridging effect to the continuous beam formed by the scarf.
Aren't those just the coolest joints?
Cool, sure, and for extending beams with little sideways pressure, probably one of the best.
De gustibus non disputandum est. For other types of joints, hand tool made knapp joints are cooler, in my opinion.
Others prefer indica joints...
Indica joints. LOL
Impressing! The scarf joint deserves to be on display!
That type of joinery is one of the reasons I fell in love with woodworking and timber framing. Beautifully done. Great Job! I can only hope that one day I could do that on a deck of my own.
Anyone elses back start hurting, or perhaps pooped themselves a little when he one man lifted that beam?
Joel Turner if him lifting that beam made you hurt or "poop yourself" even a little instead of inspiring you.... you aren't a man
yea, that was... wow.
Joel Turner while I'm sure it's still not light. being cedar it is probably not as heavy as you might think. especially when compared to a fresh piece of pressure treated lumber.
Joel Turner "get on the other scaffold!"
As an old man who used to be a young man I know your not going to listen to good advice (I didn't). So stop and think before you go ahead do it wrong the way anyway. You too can end up with a back like mine when you get old. Get help when its available and lift with the thighs not the back.
Anyone know what the spray was he used during the initial fitting adjustments?
Jig-a-loo silicone spray.
Is that for extra lubrication or what?
12 minutes and 17 seconds of pure AWESOMENESS!!
Spectacular work. Japanese joinery is an art form as much as it is a building technique.
My Japanese in laws would think you're pretty good for a Gaijin :-)
I admire your workmanship. Really do, genuine respect.
But your EGO? Man, it is draining!!!
I guess over 500k subscribers speak for themselves. I've taken a lesson in patience and tolerance with a number of your videos. Sadly, I dont think I'll be joining your channel.
From one woodworker to another - It is great to make stuff isn't it? Keep up the great workmanship
Great workmanship but his head may explode if it gets any larger.
turnyourpainintogreatness
Get over yourself “greatnesses”
Sometimes you can get by leaving well enough alone.
Otherwise left unsaid.
Sadly you miss the irony that your need to leave a disparaging comment is due to your own ego.
Thanks, I don't have your skills or tools but I love watching you do this stuff.
That was the most beautiful thing i have seen today.. wow.. that joint is gorgeous. Cant wait to see the rest of the deck. Im sure the homeowners are ecstatic.
I have studied various wood working starting in 7th grade middle school high school until 10th grade went to vo-tech for 3 years the Scarf joint is one of the most Beautiful things I have seen in my life
You are a real samurai carpenter! (From Japan with respect.)
That is the most satisfying and beautiful woodworking I done ever seen. True story
That is by far the best instructional video on a scarf joint I've seen on youtube. Fantastic work Samurai. Thanks for the knowledge.
What you have built and accomplished in your life so far is extradorinary and beautiful
This is the kind of stuff I aspire to do. Thank you for the many, many hours of content that allow people, like myself, to live vicariously through you and your shop.
Spectacular is the only word I can think of that applies, thanks for opening my eyes to Japanese architecture and joinery.... amazing work Youngblood !
That is definitely something you need to be 100% exact about cutting. Especially that timber which I'm sure wasn't cheap. You make it look super easy ....I recon because your the Samurai!
Good job my friend. I really like the time lapse type video.
The bed you made for your son and the video inspired me to build more and more. I’m currently building a bed for my son. Thanks for the inspiration.

The contrasting timber just makes that joint pop. Nice work.
Awesome. It takes brains to see the final result when you are planing but much more to actually make it happen!
A thing of beauty.Congrats SamuraiCarpenter. Utterly impressive.
Ive followed your videos with great admiration for a long time and still i can be blown away by your precise and beautiful work. You really are an inspiration. Thank you
It's so refreshing to see a true CRAFTSMAN......not many left.
Wow, love this video! Even 5 years later never gets old!!
Man all I got to say is "You Are Awesome" or as the kids now a days say it. "Totally Awesome"
Thanks from Michigan.
I got a little misty eyed watching those go together. Phenomenal.
You my friend are one of the best Craftsmen I have seen! Thank you for sharing, teaching and inspiring!
Now that is why I watch this channel! Beautiful work.
Beautiful work! Japanese wood working is second to none!
One of my favorite videos yet! Beautiful work and really like the contrasting wood between the two beams. Makes that craftsmanship pop!
Great craftsmanship and joinery. I believe everyone in the TH-cam and WoodWorking community appreciate your work very much, thank you for sharing Samurai. Keep up the great work!
Samurai that looks amazingly beautiful... if I'm going to stare at some big wooden beams they better have a touch of flavor like a scarf joint... nicely done. 😎
After watching you making the template and then cutting the scarf joint for the 1st seven minutes of the video I was actually holding my breath watching you make the test fit. That was beautiful precision and I really enjoyed watching you do it.
Mr. Samurai, WOW! As usual you spoil us with this display of craftsmanship. Sir, I thank you, again. I'm sure I'll be thanking you many more times in the future. I look forward to more! later.
An absolute pleasure to watch a Master at work.
Man, that was an impressive job! So inspiring too. I like that you showed and told us about your hard day last week. It's good to see someone sticking with it and persevering. Can't wait for the next video on this build!
Just beautiful. Amazing craftsmanship and PATIENCE!!
I literally can't saw straight or join two bits of wood together to save my life, but it's a joy to watch such craftsmanship.
I just cut 6 scarf joints this week for a timber frame house, they are an amazing joint. Excellent job on your beam
love it when it all comes together in the end nicely done. you do very good work keep it up. thank you for the video
Looks great can't wait to see it finished! You do beautiful work
Great design and work. Thanks for being such a source of inspiration, Jesse!
Just plain... AWESOMENESS!!! Thank you for sharing the knowledge and bringing back the magical properties of woodwork.
Really awesome video, love this wood joint and the way the joint locks in. Totally neat. Thank you.
You are truly an amazing wood worker. Can't wait to see the rest of this master piece.
