EXTREME SIMPLE Traditional Japanese Wood Joinery - Hand Cut Three-Way Wood Joints Structure 

I’m a carpenter of 27 years experience in Australia. I can unashamedly and honestly say…. I wouldn’t have a hope in hell of making this sort of craftsmanship. Absolutely 100% beautiful workmanship

Made in Japan means the highest quality work. These artistic carpenter's took apart a 100 year old house originally built with no nails! And moved it! Unbelievable craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing. John. Indiana.

Extreme simple 😅 - sure if one has a CNC-controlled hand like this guy!! Perfect handcraft!👍

Old school. Reminds me of my early apprentice days while building The Mayflower.

This is NOT simple. That´s a piece of art.

The layout skill is what makes it all possible. One bad line and sayonara to that joint!

Always a pleasure yo watch a true craftsman. Thank you.

"SIMPLE"? No. Elegant and ingenious? Most definitely!

NOT SIMPLE AT ALL !!! The man is an artist.

This is an example of why I feel the Japanese are superior in woodworking than any other culture I have studied. The Koreans come in second. This does not include the ancient builders. We still don't know how they built their structures. Just beautiful workmanship!

His ableaties with hand tools is fun to watch

So much information without a single word spoken.

Love to watch this man. A Japanese Paul sellers? His chisels are absolutely superb as well as his work. Brilliant videos, no stupid music, no stupid talk. Rob Cosman , Paul sellers, Stumpy Nubs and one or two others are similarly sensible and a delight to watch Thank you

His tools are all cordless.

Beautiful work by a Master carpenter! I also noticed you take great care to work with sharp chisels which are so important! Thank you for sharing!

Beautifully executed but this is definitely not simple. Highly skilled worksmanship

What a pleasure this natural sound of work in progress instead of that f*cking music which everybody else takes as a duty to force us to listen to

Love this joint. I use it often. ONLY difference is I recess the smaller "cross/beam" boards into post half way(notch). This looks good. Awesome for table. But for structure the cross beam load/weight is reduced to very small portion. "Notch" solves this. Thank You for video!

this is elegant and beautiful. Respect

This guy creates better joinery with his handtools. Then most people can do with all of their power tools in their shop. I would’ve loved to be able to train with this guy for a month or two. He is exceptional and what he does..he certainly knows how to keep those chisel sharp too.

Traditional carpentry at its best. Thank you for inviting me round 🌞

i really appreciate your ability to teach, it goes to show you dont always have to speak to demonstrate an idea and then pass that info along

Japanese craftsmen ship is always amazing. You can always see and feel the quality in there products. Thank you for the video.

Guy makes straighter cuts with his hand saw than I do with my table saw

Cutting square and straight with such a saw is testimony to his skill. I’m in awe of such a craftsman

That was incredible.

A beautiful joint, albeit a weak one. Works fine with oversized beams, though.

Great skills to have in case you don't have power to run your power tools and don't want down time , I'm a hobbyist and just learning to do decent work with my power tools and loving the results , but I will take time to do something like this.

Not going to lie. I’ve lived in Japan almost 20 years now and this guy is pretty good but sloppy compared to most of the small town wood workers I’m used to. But then again, I was outside cutting mortis and tenon joints some locals were so amazed I was doing it with a table saw.

Fantastic, did you notice how he trued the 45 degree angles by eye (no Lines) , the original cut with hand saw looked to be off by ~3/16" . Really amazing to true that with a chisel...

You are a Master Joiner!! Your skill with hand tools is superb. They are the original cordless hand tools!! Thank you demonstrating your skills.🙏🙏

Really good work!

Beautiful. That’s truly handwork carpentry.

This man loves working with wood! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for the lesson, excellent work my friend!

Very well done.Should be featured on This Old Hut!

Very satisfying.

beautiful workmanship, furniture quality.

So simple, yet not... Awesome though, could watch an artist like this all day!

I'm a carpenter in America so this is impressive to me. if I were to build a deck using these principles, nobody could afford it and nobody would appreciate it like I would

Impressive. Seeing the chisel mastery was great. Nice job.

incredible precision for handwork. Respect earned.

The Master Craftsman demonstrated the real essence of creating innovative, intricate, accurate, strong joint, is “Visionary “ . That means , making the invisible be visible .

Every woodworking school should be required to show videos like this to their students before they blow all their money on 500$ bench chisels, 500$ mortise chisels, a 300$ dovetail saw along with an equally expensive dozuki, a 99$ mallet (notice this craftsman used a stick), multiple hundreds of dollars of sexy squares, measuring and marking tools, a 5000$ bench and just because, a 300$ for an apron, coffee mug, hat and t-shirt from Lee Valley Tools (or similar vendors). My first woodworking class, I was asked to make a lap joint out of pine. Among the other members of my class were a few immigrants from China who had no fancy tools. This is not an exaggeration: they made the lap joint using mainly a box of disposable razor blades and an old hacksaw blade twice as fast and far more precise than I did with my "cold-forged in the heart of a star and wielded by Thor and Japanese gods at an RC hardness of 10 billion, yet simple to sharpen, and precision handles that were completely indestructible, yet completely comfortable and perfectly fitting to my gentle hands" 300$ chisels.

Beautiful!

thank you! very impressive use of hand tools, nice to see

chisels are so incredible

Nice----very nice..Good to see this kind of craftsmanship...

you did an excellent job..very beautifull connection!!

Excellent mastery of traditional Japanese carpentry. Very strong joint, very clever technique:)

Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

excellent thanks to you

Excellent and informative video. I learned something today.

Very nice work. I can't imagine building anything like this, though. It would take me 3-4 hours to do what was just shown in the video, and probably even took over an hour for the pro who did it to do it. Still, it was very interesting to watch and I do appreciate the skills needed. Thank you for sharing.

What an elegant design!

Masterful work..!😊

Master at his craft. I could watch this stuff all day.

Wonderful craftsmanship

Amazing craftmanship!

This guy is amazing with a hand saw! Good job fella!

It’s beautiful and elegant, but definitely not easy. It would require some skill to achieve the same result with power tools, let alone doing it by hand.

Your creation is impressive!

Wow!! I don't think I've seen that type of joint before! I'm thinking of ways I can use it.

just shows how a true craftsman doesn’t need all the fancy powered tool to do the job, no lasers, dado cutters etc just a chisel,hammer and saw and lots and lots of experience and knowledge, a joy to watch

Much more enjoyable than watching these would-be carpenters doing a so-so job with power tools and nails and screws (oh, i forgot, with glue too)

Thank you master 🎉

Very sharp chisels!

Wow very nice.

Very professional, as usual.

love the work & the conducive work area

Beautiful and inspiring construction

I’d love to see a carpenter in the U.K. with this guy’s skill.

❤❤❤ tellement professionnel que tu fais paraître le travail. Bravos un vrai plaisir de suivre votre travail

I'm a right handed and he's a lefty 😂, I'm no way near gonna make as beautiful as that piece of art!

He makes it look so effortless, good stuff

Impressive, thanks

That was SO freaking cool! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing precision, a master craftsman at work.

phenomenal. The precision to cut the angles....

Это очень круто😮

absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I wish we could get Japanese wood working tools in the US

C'est du travail de pro tu doit être un super ebeniste encore bravo

Bravo!

BADAASSNESS!!!!

Perfect !! Congratulations !!

Unique skill 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Ini bagus

Piece of art tight there

Incredibly satisfying.

Amazing craftsmanship ❤❤

Im surprised the post didnt twist during the video with that bullseye dead center

Beautiful joint! No glue needed!

Wonderfull

What a master!

Nice joint and woodworking skills

That’s amazing. No nails, screws, no glue required. All natural ❤

Thank you for the demonstration! An elegant joint. (I would have to use power tools to achieve this.) Your skill with hand tools is greatly respected! I’m good with my hands generally, and still have trouble with hand tool woodwork this clean.

0h so good wood

This is a great piece of work
