- It’s been a while since I did DIY.
When I went to the lumberyard, I found interesting wood, so I built a floor table out of it.
I have seldom used Kiso cypress before, and I found that it is a totally different quality than ordinary Japanese cypress. The growth rings are delicately beautiful. It’s valuable wood.

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. :)
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.
"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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
What a gem this channel is now I can't stop watching all of it!!!
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.
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
I’ve seen this. It works. At first I thought it was someone making fun of Salt Bae.
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!
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.
Possibly one his most humble, reverent, charming videos yet. "Can I bring you a coffee!?" 😂
Beautiful craftsmanship and such a joy to watch this artist work his magic
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.
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.
Arigatō, Such a beautiful table. The cypress is beautifully marked. But your craftsmanship is what brings it to light.
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.
That is some beautiful wood with very tight growth rings. Great craftsmanship, as usual, in the construction of this floor table.
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!
A beautiful table, beautiful workmanship, and beautiful tools.
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.
Gotta say, these videos always get me motivated. Thanks for sharing Shoyan!
The table is beautiful. Stay safe.
Such a rare art and dedication. Our world needs such discipline.
Shoyan, you are the best!
Use of "DIY" is very generous in this situation.... guy is amazing.
I am always in awe of your craftsmanship and patience! Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Amazing simple yet absplutely beautiful :O
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.
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 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.😊
beautiful video, i really enjoyed this :D
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.
We are watching a gifted and talented MASTER craftsman. Love these videos Sir, thank you.
Nice job, Ienjoyed watching the project !
Beautiful table! Well done. Wonderful, informative and entertaining episode!
Humorous presentation shows human side we can all relate to.
It’s always a pleasure to watch you work and appreciate your undoubted skills Shoyan.👍👍
Mesmerising. And those planes - incredible quality and workmanship.
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 enjoy watching this top notch craftsman doing his work. A true inspiration
Beautiful table, love the knots and live edge !!!! Especially the large one in the middle !!!!
You are such a joy to watch. I love every part of your videos, and by every little detail I can tell, you not only love but also respect the work pieces and the wood itself. I am currently studying the art of cabinetmakery and joinery to one day become a true craftman myself, and every time I watch your videos, I get the instant hurry in my guts to go and create something out of wood. This channel and Ishitani Furniture are the best things on TH-cam.
Fish comparesment is on point. Keep going. And thank you.
Beautiful 👍
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
In Japan a practitioner of this talent rises to the level of “National Treasure”. Artisan.
Wow. When I say DIY it's an excuse for error, but this is truly a master piece.
What a Blessing to have him show us what Takumi is!! Truly a MASTER Craftsman!! Domo Arigato Shoyan-sama!!
you gotta love a good bit of timber 📦📥📤✏⛩🗾🗻🪵🪵
First time I witnessed wood surgery. Amazing how seamlessly you patched that gap.
You are so picky, a perfectionist, I think it is just beautiful. 😄
Shoyan san, Truly Superb Job!
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.
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
"It's a simple DIY dovetail joint" said nobody else ever 😂
Thanks for teaching me!
すごい ね!
The craftsmanship is superb as always, and the way you work well and banter with your son is truly heart-warming!
Thank you for this video.
この木はとても美しいでした。
Great Teacher
❤
Beautiful work. I love this peice
Amazing 👍
beautiful work! truly inspiring...
Very very nice work as always 👌👍💯
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。
Great video, thank you for sharing it.
this is such a pleasure to watch do it right the first time, perfection sir
Very nice job as always.
as a furniture builder I think you did a terrific job, especially with that repair. Urethane is tricky by hand, easier with a spray gun once you get the hang of it.
❤️🇺🇸👍 Master of wood working
@7:55 rest assured, I understand.
just finished applying a clear water based poly to a poplar shelf I'm making.... Using a clear finish was the perfect choice for that beautiful Cyprus.
Beautiful work as always! I really like that you sawed the Joints by hand and used hand planes too.
He did a better job than some people who call themselves furniture makers
Beautiful!
Amazing work!
It look beautiful with the knots. Many thanks for the vid.
I'd have that table in my lounge in a flash!!!!
I bow to you sir
I love waching you work. Very nice table. Tour disciple is what amazes me. Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring
It's very nice to hear your voice and the table looks amazing!
3:00 never seen a joiner/ planer before old and big cool
Very nice craftsmanship. I enjoyed watching
Amazing work my friend!!! Great video!!!
I very much enjoy your content, as I am also a carpenter/ cabinet maker. I was in Japan in 2005 in Amori, in the Northern Prefecture, Masawa Airforce Base. I was fascinated with the many Temples in that part of Japan, and the wood jointery , as well as the beautiful gardens, parks, and historical buildings. Japan is truly beautiful, and so are it's people, artisans, and craftsmen.
That wood looked buttery smooth to work with and it cut like a dream, but I'm sure experienced hands helped amplify that phenomenon.
Beautiful finish on your project as always top craftsmanship 👍👍
I really like watching your work. I am very inspired by it. Thank you so much.

Watching from Kazakhstan Appreciate your job work .....
Respected
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 TH-cam 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.
Do you have a link to that supplier? Thxs.
I love hearing the original voices in this video
I understood the analogy as ハマチとアジ are おいしい
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?
That is very beautiful timber colour especially with the knots. Take care 👍😀😀😀
It's a very nice job and it pays to be particular 👍👍👍
Yeyyy. Shoyan video. It’s gonna be a good morning.
