Traditional Korean floor 대청마루 ( daecheongmaru) PART I -a wooden floor without nails, screws or glue

- Traditional Korean carpenters displayed thier skill and understanding of wood most expertly in the traditional 대청마루 Daecheongmaru floors found in so many Hanok houses.
A detour from the whole wooden floor process seen in much of the world, the floor boards are not cut into slim strips and nailed down to prevent their movement. Neither is there a sub floor and seperate finish floor. The Korean craftsman left the boards as large and wide as they could, and instead of controling their movement by cutting them down thin and nailing them in place, there were held within a groove cut into the joists, leaving the boards free to expand and contract as needed, but unable to cup or distort, much like a panel frame door.
Japanese joinery was used in our case to lock the floor beams and joists together.
There are various regional variations on these floors, and many ways they could be accomplished. We chose a simple dovetail groove with board ends cut at a mathing angle to be the best for us. Individual boards are further joined together with dowels.

never have I seen a man with such a burning hatred of metal fasteners
We need more of this
Matched only by his burning disgust for electricity.
I get it and appreciate it though...
I'm preparing to build on the big island of Hawaii, in an area described as a "cloud forest." It's wet. Like, really wet. I'll be building in this fashion out of necessity, as metal will rot far faster than the eucalyptus that I have access to.
Don't forget glue.
For the young generation of Korea, it is forgotten.
Thank you very much for the fact that artisans are dead and can see this kind of traditional work through foreigners.
It is now continuing through traditional schools in Korea.
It's very rare for the public to see it.
You are really great...Thank you...and thank you
Sadly it's not just Korea where skills like this are forgotten. Most developed countries have forgotten how to hand make even simple things.
Indeed many skills such as this have been forgotten to the passing of time
ㅎㅎ
Being a carpenter for 38 yrs, and having an eye for detail, you my good friend, are the best I've seen at hand sawing!!! This is an art all it's own. Folks dont understand the expertise behind every tool that is picked up in your hands. There are naturals in almost any worthy endeavor. Music is a big one. You sir, are a natural with wood. It brings great satisfaction to my soul to watch you quietly persist at excellence! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. To your wife, thank you for taking care of him and building him, as he surely builds for you. Very greatful, david
This man has the sawing skills of a god good lord he follow that line perfectly with such a wide cut unbelievable.
Interesting to watch a video of a foreign man making Korean traditional floors. Your video made me know better about my culture. Really appreciate you!
This is also a technique used by the Korean shipmakers, So Korean ironclad ships such as the 'Turtle ship' could ram into much larger Japanese vessels and actually do more damage to them. Also if I recall correctly they use a certain type of wood that would expand when in contact with water to tighten when placed in sea.
Most woods will expand and swell when in constant contact with water.
놀랍네요. 외국인이 대청마루를 만드는 것도 대단한데 기계없이 수작업으로 그것도 혼자서 다 하다니.
If i've learned anything from coming back to these videos over and over again it's "take your time" I'm always just so blown away with your ability to be present with your work. The results speak for themselves, you truly are a master Mr. Chickadee.
Can anyone tell me how and where he learnt to build 대청마루 using the traditional skills that Koreans have been using since the ancient dynasty? The equipment he’s using are all traditional too. Just amazed to see 👏👏👏
He has a Q&A video in his channel where he said he learned from a book about korean architecture. Can't remember the name of the book though, but you can find it there
I never realized how much good audio contributes to carpentry vids. Nice.
Glad you enjoyed it
I noticed that Mr.Chikadee is using most of Korean traditional tools. By doing that, I trust Mr.Chikadee shows his respect to the craftsmanship of Korean carpenters who made nail free Daecheongmaru several hundreds years ago. I admire Mr.Chikadee's depth of knowledge and passion about Korean traditional joinery.
This and the followup are two of my favorite CZcams videos. Most, I watch once and forget about. But I keep coming back to these every few months.
Glad you like them!
Thankyou for no irritating music luv this series
I started watching and initially thought what a waste of time and wood. But I kept watching and came around to admire what an impressive amount of skill. By the end I was completely overcome by the sheer beauty, simplicity and serenity of all of the process, the wood, the man and how it all is just "right". Now on to watch part 2.
This channel is teaching me to slow down and do things right the first time.
Not just a very talented carpenter but a very good film maker.
내 18분을 그냥 가져가 버렸네!!!
대단하고 놀라운 실력입니다....솜씨는 한옥 대목장인데 한국인이 아니네요...ㅎㅎ
Your videos are always so satisfying to watch. You are truly an artist! Great and beautiful work!
the sound of a hammer in the forest, brings me back to Michigan. Love it
I miss Michigan Kalamazoo so much...
Dude! Love it! Thanks for sharing old school wisdom...never seen this. Teaching without talking...CZcams at it’s best.🕊
Beautiful Craftsmanship. I have always loved seeing this style of Asian timber framing.
I very much look forward to seeing the progress on the rest of the floor system.
It has to be so very satisfying when a connection fits as well as the ones you do.....especially such an intricate connection. Your work is an artwork as well and not just structural components. Very well done.
Really love this tutorial! So inspiring. Watch it over & over. Made a free standing wall to hold up my tv based off of this. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
You are an artist and a fine craftsman. I could fall asleep listening to the beautiful sounds of you working, it is so relaxing.
I was a UBC journeyman carpenter, and unfortunately I had to get rid of all my old handtools. I plan or rather dream to buy again the old handtools, such as saws, planes, chisels, etc, for when I retire, to build handmade furniture. There is such tranquility and satisfaction in taking your time as you shape the wood by hand yourself, that even imagining it is impossible to comprehend. You just have to have it in your heart, and you have to do it to understand this fully. Someone said that this is nothing less than "sawdust therapy" I would love to know where you got your chisels and slick from. And that mortise framing auger hand drill is awesome. Love your lumber saw 😍
At least nowdays is not so difficult to buy tools since some people don't appreciate them and sell them cheap or even throw them in the trash...good luck!
In a life full of stress, I found a lot of peace watching your work. Thank you
These are some of the most satisfying videos on the internet. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have wanted to learn to build without nails for so long, and your videos are very inspiring.
I see all these thank yous from overseas and all I can say is WOW. People talk about appropriation all the time lately but I think we forget to also mention shared culture that preserves it and even broadens interest in its nuance.
I am ecstatic that artisans the world over are able to preserve this knowledge in video format no less so it is archived for generations.
Thank you sir for your work.
I don’t comment very often, whenever I go to CZcams your channel is the first I look for. Just Beautiful Work, THANK YOU for SHARING ‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Nice to see a new video from you.
The level of skill use to make things by hand are second to none. Your craftsmanship is a true joy to watch no matter what you make.
I will truely enjoy this build series.
It is wonderful to see the beauty of craftsmanship brought to life in your video. To see the old ways preserved, amazing. Thank you for sharing with us!
YOU ARE AMAZING, OLD SCHOOL CARPENTER, SIMPLY FANTASTIC
Dear Mr. Chickadee.
Simply fantastic. Craftsmanship at a very high level is shown. It is inspirational and a kind of meditational to watch. Moreover all these old and wonderful tools are amazing. Some I have never seen before. You're a really skilled worker with lots of love/dedication and even more patience to do things right. Congrats.
Best regards
Postscriptum: This was the first of your videos I have watched but definitely not the last one!
Now I can understand how was them built. I loved sleep on there in summer at grandmas. Thanks alot and good job!!
I have only just found your channel through this video and already I am hooked. It's so relaxing to see a true artisan at work. It's also nice to know that all of the traditional skills of woodworking haven't died out and are still being used in these days of modern, quick, motorised work. I've subscribed and can't wait to see your other videos.
Thank you so much for your hard work to revive a beauty of Korean traditional wood floor. 💯💯💯
한국의 옛문화를 외국인이 알아보고 만들다니.고맙고 새롭게 느껴집니다.
Beautiful to watch, there's no better feeling than using your basic hand tools, purity of work with a deep sense of appreciation.. hats off to Mr chickadee
. . . no talking, just letting the work show for itself your amazing skills. Thank you.
I find these videos are the best and most calming way to start my day
Very impressive joinery! I can’t wait to see the rest of the floor!
Im honored! Soon!
@@MrChickadee Are you planning to do the Korean style of radiant heating ?
Just curious if that's in the plan or if there was some other motivation for deciding to go that direction.
I work with metal for a living and find I prefer forging hand tools more than knives for a change of pace.
So subbed and 👍 your video style lets me see more of how they work close up and that's really helpful.
Thanks 😊👍
Outstanding as usual. Perfect for relaxing after a long day. Thank you so much!
I wonder how much traditional knowledge we must have lost over the years when you see work like this. Nice. 😁😀😎
What most satisfies me, is that you are ambidextrous and so relaxed when working. Congratulations.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and I learn so much. I LOVE the way the frames lock together with those two wedges. Great Idea. Thanks
The use of angled holes formed by two separate pieces with the locking board held in place by angled rectangular pegs is so unbelievably elegant that I had to rewind the video twice. I constantly find myself marvelling at the keen thinking that ancient builders used to solve the architectural need to build something with a minimum of metal fasteners.
I also have to give you a great deal of thanks; you present this in a way that makes it much easier to understand to enormous ingenuity involved, and in a fashion that makes it accessible to just about anyone. I truly enjoyed watching this.
Thank You.
Never tire from watching every moment....Thank You !
You videos are a respite for me.
Collecting the tools to build a simple cabin in the future.
Again, simply amazing skill, precision and patience.
Darchungmaru(대청마루) was very important part of traditional house in Korean. It required high skilled craftsmanship as it build with 100% wood without any nail.
I like the calmness you display as you do your beautiful work.
I love your stuff, man! So calming. The echo when you land a blow puts me right where you are.
I need a dose of reality every day. This is as real as it gets. No BS here! Beautiful work and likewise filming. Thank you!
It's so satisfying, watching all the pieces fit together.
Your skills are just awesome. Appreciate your patience. Perfection is what you are. Learnt a lot of joinery skills from you.
Wow! Wow! Wow! So simple and yet so intricate! Watching your videos are always so satisfying and relaxing. Always so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I needed a good lie down after watching you build that floor. That was AMAZING. Well done from DownUnder 🇳🇿
Who can thumbs down this video? Amazing work as always! Thank you!
That hand cranked drillpress is a work of art, as is you work good sir. Thank you for sharing.
I always thought my antique eggbeater drill was super cool.... I did... until I saw that absolute beauty!
Those old tools are so creative and use intelligent design and engineering to utilize the manufacturing and materials available at the time! That particular period is full of interesting and super ingenious and verrry specific tools!
Like that awesome jig for cutting a slot! So cool.
@@DanteYewToob do you know what it's called or what period it's from?
@@nealweatherhead497 it’s called a beam drill
As always, I am happy to see a new video from you! This one peaks the interest meter big time! No nails! Looking forward to the rest.
This type of technique is absolutely beautiful.
You are certainly one of a kind Mr Chickadee; Your work and videos are absolutely stunning! The joinery work you do, along with so many other things, are just magnificent to say the least - You are one awesome 'Master' craftsman!!!
Amazing! 👏🏼 Love the natural sound of hard creative work.
Poetry in motion...absolutely brilliant as usual.
Another vicarious moment for me. Beautiful work.
Friend, kudos for using your saw both-handed. I enjoyed watching. Keep being yourself.
I'm always impressed by the precision of all of your joints. Good work.
Great video Mr Chickadee always look forward to seeing them Just the sound of the saw planer ect. is therapeutic
Love that shelter tarp cover thing, I might use that at work.
어렸던 시절에, 외갓집에 가면 볼 수 있었던 대청마루를 보다니... 그것도 한국인이 아닌 외국인이 만드는 대청마루. 감사합니다. 추억을 되돌아볼 수 있도록 해주어서.
17:35 laying down on the job tut tut. Great to watch a craftsman at work. Lovely to watch. You must get a lot of satisfaction from your work, I know I do.
How can anyone do a thumbs down to this! Awesome carpentry, and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for your work on showing how to do some fabulous flooring.
Words cannot do justice to the fine work exhibited here!
Love your work. As a Korean who was adopted I love learning about my Homeland =)
Can you be more of a man than Mr. Chickadee? I think the answer is no! I'm incredibly inspired and mind blown by the incredible amount of time patients and practice it must take to do this all by hand. Been watching you for years now, and I am always amazed at your work :)
Fantastic. 과학과 지혜가 담긴 대단한 작품입니다. 👍
Educational and awe inspiring artistry. Your videos always put me in a good place. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words
Amazing work!! I hope to see many more of your videos!! I have watched them all multiple times. I love the channel man! Great job!!
When that timber popped in flush it was pure satisfaction. Complete respect for the craft.
Wonderful craftsmanship as always.
Skilled young man there. Lovely to see some older hand tools being used too.
Amazing. Like a meditation watching this guy.
This is wood working technique of the old days which I always admire. It requires high skill and accurate measurements using simple tools. It deserves to be called an environmentally friendly way
I’ve been a professional tile setter and hardwood installer for the last 26 years so I’ve seen, and been a part of, many many houses being built. That being said this is some of thee finest craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. I’m blown away at your skill, patience and talent.
That was an awesome set of joints. Thanks for sharing with us.
You are doing some really fine work looks very precise. I love to watch your videos they are relaxing and peaceful to watch.
Such a beautiful way to work!
You are a master of your trade.
Excellent development and beautiful videography, a great team, all the best, Lucas.
Taking it to a whole other level. Very nice.
안녕하세요.저는 한국에 거주중인 사람 입니다.
외국인 유튜버 분께서 이렇게 한국 대청마루를 제작해 주신것이 무척 감사합니다👍👍👍
Your floor frame looks super solid Mr. C, thank you.
Peaceful, "craftsmanship at its finest"!
That's a great way to do sliding dovetail/rabbet dovetail. I just started to learn this joint for a moxon vise/mini detail bench I'm working and it's great to see a neat way to do it by hand.
Eu acho seu trabalho incrível,já estava sentindo falta de seus vídeos!
Brazil.
always great and always wonderfull i feel rest when watch this master
At first thank you for your Videos, also that are truly very inspiring and a true lesson in calmness, precision and execution. You are truly working in a "beautiful" way , followed you trough your videos and I realised the way of the woodworking is practice, practice and practice, then the result comes.
Thank you thousand times.
Yes, thats correct, practice, many thousands of repititions. If you care to see, you can look at my earlier attempts at timber framing in the playlist "our timber frame workshop" on our channel, much different a few years ago!
@@MrChickadee I really enjoyed the work you have done in your workshop, from timber to heating . You inspired me also to buy old tools, mainly planes and some drills and learn to use them while putting them at good use. Cheers!
Wow amazing craftsmanship truly beautiful
I loved this video. I can't wait to see where it progresses.
Truly ambidextrous!!!!! Sawing and chiseling with both hands....awesome
this is a beautiful video, and different from the ones that have come before. it is some combination of the simple joinery, the changing seasons, the way the wind catches the shavings and pulls them away from the plane, your patient dedication- some combination of these things makes this video unique.
sometimes you use a chisel with the bevel down, and sometimes with the bevel up. why is this?
Achilles 1776 u would have to understand the chickadee to know the soul of this man.
@@superdansilverman depends on application, bevel up to pair to a line or drive a mortise to another line, bevel down to steer and prevent going too deep, prevent digging in
