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.

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...

@delxinogaming6046 Год назад

Don’t think I’d call it a DIY project if a master carpenter does it 😂

@trev2417 Год назад

I wouldn’t say this guy is a diyer as he actually brands his projects

@avikillzkids5986 Год назад

What??

@michaeleshbaugh6797 Год назад

Beautiful table I would love to own anything this man makes he puts so much work into his projects an it shows

@johnsrabe Год назад

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.

@alangarratt7421 11 месяцев назад

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.

This channel is such a gem. Craftsmanship like this needs to be more widespread.

"You struggled for this one chip." I really felt that.

@timjones2633 Год назад

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.

@OKSEIKO Год назад

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.

@brianrobertson6475 Год назад

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

@Rsama60 Год назад

This is a nice table made from a nice wood. I also like that this video has more of Shoyan-san own voice.

@richardwaller9922 Месяц назад

A beautiful table, beautiful workmanship, and beautiful tools.

@jacobwilson3316 Год назад

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

@fredericdudley6184 Год назад

I’ve seen this. It works. At first I thought it was someone making fun of Salt Bae.

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..

@fredericdudley6184 Год назад

In Japan a practitioner of this talent rises to the level of “National Treasure”. Artisan.

@johnsrabe Год назад

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.

@alexcrouse Год назад

And that foam won't scratch your wood!

@fredericdudley6184 Год назад

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.

@bwillan Год назад

That is some beautiful wood with very tight growth rings. Great craftsmanship, as usual, in the construction of this floor table.

@LuigiRosa Год назад

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.

@artfishal6691 Год назад

Wow. When I say DIY it's an excuse for error, but this is truly a master piece.

@dp1381 7 месяцев назад

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.

@tyleryoast8299 Год назад

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.

@Zeetwig Год назад

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!

@Bill53AD Год назад

Arigatō, Such a beautiful table. The cypress is beautifully marked. But your craftsmanship is what brings it to light.

@andrzej3511 Год назад

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.

@user-gb2gq8lb3s Год назад

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!

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!

@duskitonbaby Год назад

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.

@gunterschone8402 Год назад

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

@americanmade6996 Год назад

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.

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 RU-vid 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.

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.

@balazscs.2668 Год назад

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 RU-vid.
