  • The last part of the interior work is this Japanese-style room. It took a long time to build this tokonoma (alcove). As the tokonoma is made of thick Japanese cypress, it shines. You might want to be careful not to scratch this tokonoma. Haha

      You are shameful - living in Canada and not being able to source great timber without knots or shakes. I live in Japan - all this guy does is bodge jobs in comparison to proper Japanese craftsmanship. It begs the question, if this video makes you a better person, then what kind of person were you before you watched this carpentry nonsense video. Note: I used the term: Carpentry as opposed to: Joinery or Cabinet-Maker. I am sure that if you spoke English or possessed a dictionary you would understand the difference. Eh?

    Hajimemashita Shoyan san. I travelled in Nihon 35years ago wanting to learn skills like these and found it very difficult. However I learned many things and appreciate Japanese culture very much. I started my Carpentry apprenticeship in NZ in 1966 and also retired from being a fine furniture maker for 25 years working alone 10 years ago. We in the west have much to appreciate and enjoy about Japanese arts and crafts and skills still active and retained today. I have made Shioji in NZ, though nothing like the levels possible in Nihon. It’s great to see you skills and accuracy in carpentry and furniture. I have watched many of your other videos and the adding of English to your CZcams videos will no doubt spread your skills and fame even further. I will be travelling again in Nihon in the near future, after having not been to Japan for 25 years to soak in more of the beauty and Wabi Sabi and culture that is Japan. Gammbatte Ne.

    The glue must squeeze out. Our teacher in carpenter school told us that "If the glue is not squeezing out, you are not using enough glue." When it squeezes out, you know that there is enough glue between the joints. You can always wipe the extra out, but it's hard to add more.

    If you let the excess glue dry for five minutes, it becomes consistent enough so that you can cut it away with a chisel, instead of wiping it off with a wet rag. This causes less glue impregnation around the glue line. The tiny amount of glue that penetrates the wood around the glue line , when using a wet rag, interferes inconveniently with oil or other impregnating finishes.

    So I'm a little ignorant to this, so I hope I do not come off rude. But I want to understand. So are there many houses built this way? is this something that's very common in Japanese culture? Here in America almost everything is very cheap and very fast and low skill. Someone with your skill would be reserved to work with only the wealthy people. So I guess what I'm asking is are there many many carpenters like you in Japan that build most of the things that need to be built, or is it like here in America where most of the workers are low/medium skill with only a few high skill workers using fast cheap materials. I can tell you for certain that the majority of the high skill carpenters that build homes in America, do not have anywhere near the level of skill that you have with woodworking.
