"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
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
❤ 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 🇲🇾
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Ничего я кроме классного инструмента не увидел, вот этому я сильно завидую. Умеют же японцы делать и затачивать инструмент, молодцы. Здоровья тебе, мастер.
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..
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 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!
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!
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Like yellowtail, or Spanish mackerel? I know exactly what you mean. The wood has plenty of character (beautiful knots!), but is mild-mannered, not too assertive, not high in resin or oil, and is yields easily to different processes like planing, cross-cutting, dovetailing.

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.

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.
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..
Use of "DIY" is very generous in this situation.... guy is amazing.
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!

- 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.
What a gem this channel is now I can't stop watching all of it!!!
I am more impressed by repair of the chip than by entire build of table.
❤ 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 🇲🇾
We are watching a gifted and talented MASTER craftsman. Love these videos Sir, thank you.
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.
Such a rare art and dedication. Our world needs such discipline.

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。
Possibly one his most humble, reverent, charming videos yet. "Can I bring you a coffee!?" 😂

That is some beautiful wood with very tight growth rings. Great craftsmanship, as usual, in the construction of this floor table.
Beautiful craftsmanship and such a joy to watch this artist work his magic
Arigatō, Such a beautiful table. The cypress is beautifully marked. But your craftsmanship is what brings it to light.

The table is beautiful. Stay safe.

Shoyan, you are the best!
Fish comparesment is on point. Keep going. And thank you.
Very nice craftsmanship. I enjoyed watching
Gotta say, these videos always get me motivated. Thanks for sharing Shoyan!
The way you handled that chip speaks volumes about you Shoyan.....ha ha !!! great job!
A beautiful table, beautiful workmanship, and beautiful tools.
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.

He did a better job than some people who call themselves furniture makers
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..
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.
Mesmerising. And those planes - incredible quality and workmanship.
In Japan a practitioner of this talent rises to the level of “National Treasure”. Artisan.
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!
It's a very nice job and it pays to be particular 👍👍👍
This is a nice table made from a nice wood. I also like that this video has more of Shoyan-san own voice.
You are so picky, a perfectionist, I think it is just beautiful. 😄
First time I witnessed wood surgery. Amazing how seamlessly you patched that gap.
love the timber you are using
Beautiful table, love the knots and live edge !!!! Especially the large one in the middle !!!!
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 always in awe of your craftsmanship and patience! Thank you for sharing your work with us.
What a Blessing to have him show us what Takumi is!! Truly a MASTER Craftsman!! Domo Arigato Shoyan-sama!!
I enjoy watching this top notch craftsman doing his work. A true inspiration
this is such a pleasure to watch do it right the first time, perfection sir
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.
Beautiful table! Well done. Wonderful, informative and entertaining episode!
Humorous presentation shows human side we can all relate to.
Amazing work my friend!!! Great video!!!
美しい芸術作品。 共有してくれてありがとう！
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.

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.😊
I love hearing the original voices in this video
Beautiful work. I love this peice
Shoyan san, Truly Superb Job!
It’s always a pleasure to watch you work and appreciate your undoubted skills Shoyan.👍👍
Beautiful work as always! I really like that you sawed the Joints by hand and used hand planes too.
I really like watching your work. I am very inspired by it. Thank you so much.
beautiful work! truly inspiring...
Wow. When I say DIY it's an excuse for error, but this is truly a master piece.
That is very beautiful timber colour especially with the knots. Take care 👍😀😀😀
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.
Beautiful finish on your project as always top craftsmanship 👍👍
I'd have that table in my lounge in a flash!!!!
Great video, thank you for sharing it.

Do you have a link to that supplier? Thxs.
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.
It look beautiful with the knots. Many thanks for the vid.
you gotta love a good bit of timber 📦📥📤✏⛩🗾🗻🪵🪵
この木はとても美しいでした。
Amazing simple yet absplutely beautiful :O
Very very nice work as always 👌👍💯
3:00 never seen a joiner/ planer before old and big cool

Magnificent work,, as always !
German Hard Wax Oil finish, is what I would have used.
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
Very nice job as always.
I bow to you sir
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.
Beautiful work...
Like yellowtail, or Spanish mackerel? I know exactly what you mean. The wood has plenty of character (beautiful knots!), but is mild-mannered, not too assertive, not high in resin or oil, and is yields easily to different processes like planing, cross-cutting, dovetailing.
May I suggest you use a sanding block to finish the urethane. Using your hand just makes it imperfect again.
