very interesting and great job. Here in Canada, I've installed board and batten walls with a narrow crown, pneumatic stapler. I don't think I've seen anyone hand nail like this.
As a carpenter in the states I really impressed at how skilled your craftsman are! Maybe a show on your sub contractors ? Electricians , plumbers, roofers? I would enjoy meeting them?
@@ShawnWitty Shawn I hv been a carpenter a LONG time! And things are different , codes , work product ect.,.! Not buying what your putting down ! I still would like to see it if the OWNER of the channel decides to do so you can watch something else?
What a beautiful building. I love the frame method you use; it is a more elegant looking form. What is the very thin sheet material nailed on the roof planks under the metal roof? Are you working on the temple? My time in Japan I found the temple construction to be interesting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
So cool to watch! Questions though if anyone knows... 1) is all the wood precut by a robot in a factory somewhere? 2) the black adjustable supports under the floor joists, are they plastic? I assume they're strong enough, but interesting to see 3) the fireproof boards, in North America we only use fireproofing to protect one compartment in a building from another, so we'd never use it on a small building like this. Why is it there in this situation? Thanks in advance!
Your skill & artistry are so very evident in this build as well as your attention to detail. This storage shed is going to stand for an exceedingly long time unlike many houses I have seen literally 'thrown together'. Love your work, cheers, Don from South Aust.
Hello Shoyan Japanese Carpenter, I'm a young french carpenter. I really like your work and your videos. I saw your square at 16:33 and i'd really like to know the exact name of the tool or where I could provide myself one. Thank you very much. Keep doing good work !
Thank you! An other amazing example. How is the joint called at 3:17 at the end of the beam? And more interesting which machine is used to do the had curved circle? Thank you sir!
Do you use stainless steel nails so they don't rust and make black spots on the cedar? Love watching your work and truly admire your skill set. Arigato, Shoyan-san!
Edit: If only I commented at the end. You mentioned it was for a Crawl Space and so then I could google about it. For some reason my earlier googling didn't result in this information! Hi there! Hope someone can answer my question but I have seen a number of times with Japan building houses that they have their foundations like this, where the edges of each room seem to be raised up leaving a hallow middle. Is there a reason for this? Most of the western world (i guess) has flat pads for their foundations.
Shawn, Thanks for your response. I was mainly interested in his chisels and his framing square. It's difficult to determine if chisels sold as Japanese are genuine and of good quality. As for framing squares, many of them seem to be made in China and have a lot of bad reviews.
Great video, English pronunciation is great (just one correction : the word iron is pronounced "ion" as the r is silent). Fascinating to watch, thanks for sharing.
How would you differentiate iron from ion if the r is silent? NASA is developing a new ion engine for rocket propulsion, if talking about physics and chemistry, ion and iron must be pronounced different to avoid confusion
@@greeneaglz2573 As a Brit I definitely pronounce Ion differently to Iron, however it is more subtle than some of the American english versions. It will depend on what your ear is tuned into. The r is not silent but it has become mushed into a different sound as an ir sound not a i sound. Quite happy with the translator to have a Japanese accent with some words, thats just how the world is.
I enjoyed the comment on how many knots where in the wood from Oregon. Not having access to Japanese quality timber this is what a lot of the rest of the world has to put up with and worse.
This makes North American home construction look so lousy. I understand the earth quake requirements of Japan but regardless, the overall quality of materials and workmanship is far superior.
