To me, the best tools are all those hand tools, the chisels, planes, hand saws. Nothing brings one closer to any woodworking project than an actual hand tool. Don't be embarrassed about the age of your tools, they've served you well and continue to serve you today. You take care of your tools, they'll take care of you. Great video, cheers :)
This channel has taught me some very clever techniques and ways to do carpentry. This man is a true craftsman. I am a carpenter myself, but mostly I have to do houses by the modern techniques. But I have learned a lot watching Shoyan's videos. Thank you for that, sir! I wish I could one day come there and be your student and watch you work :D Although, I guess the building style and humidity, temperature etc. are quite different in Japan than here in Finland so it would be impossible to build things like that in Finland...
Thank you for showing us your pride and joy.i to am proud of my joinery tools.i have been carpenter and joiner since 1989.jason. Boston.united kingdom.
Hi You are a master carpenter and I am very pleased to find you CZcams site. I appreciate your work and having the English language version. Please keep up the good 👍😊
Shoyan, I love your videos. I've only been wood working for 7 years. I disagree, you need skill no matter what the tool. I see comments on other platforms that say if I had your tools I could built that too. This is not true, I have the tools and I am still learning the skill. I respect your ability, I hope to one day have the amount of skill to continue to make this fun. Thanks
I'm a tile setter by trade and it's SO true that the trades are becoming more about the tools than the craft itself. Too many people don't have the basic skills or are actual craftsman. Too many DIY hacks out there doing it wrong, although it does keeps me busy having to go and rip out their work and install it correctly after it starts to fall apart. Anyway, another great video as always and never ever worry about using older tools, be proud that you can still use them my friend. Shalom
@@cmmartti tile setters like brick layers, once one has the years of experience, those tools do become obsolete as well. Nothing is better than experience.
@@cmmartti good job completely missing the point. Just because you have tile clips doesn't mean it's going to turn out well if you don't know what you're doing, pretty simple thing to understand. Look up the dunning Kruger effect, you may be a victim.
Very interesting. I have noticed in previous videos how well Soyan-san maintains his tools, which is the mark of a skilled craftsman. It's a shame that clever machine tools are superseding the traditional skills. There will always be a place for them, though, I think. Thank you for an interesting and informative video.
Hello, Jan. Why? Because they make it possible for someone like me to do a workman like job. I am not deriding "clever tools" but I would much rather have Soyan-san's skills, not least because of the sheer satisfaction and pride in making something with my own hands.
@@janbernad4729 With respect, it makes perfect sense. Let me put it more clearly: The skills that Shoyan-san demonstrates are acquired from knowledge, practice and dedication to his craft. I can purchase a router and jigs to cut a variety of joints and do a workman like job with little skill involved. There is a place for such tools - indeed Shoyan-san uses them - but they are no substitute for the skills of a master craftsman. One final point. The moment a person becomes abusive is the moment they are on the wrong side of the discussion.
@@richardwaller9922 so how is this fault of the new tools? You decide what you use, you decide if you buy from craftsman who uses traditional tools, from craftsman, who uses power tools or from a factory, where products are made all by machines. Modern tools give you options, they do not force you to use them or buy products made by them. Youre only pathetic person, who is not willing to accept responsibility for their decisions. "Oh, I like how it looks, when something is being made by hand tools, everything should be made by hand tools. What? Youre asking why I do not buy those expensive hand made items, and why I use power tools for the things I do? Well, its not me being a hypocrite, its the modern tools being around, they should NOT be there!! Damn, how much I hate those power tools!!!!" P.S. You think that I am abusive for calling you out on your bullshit and stating that youre pathetic? You really have no idea what abuse is, sweetheart.
Funny how many English words enter other languages, like Japanese. Also, I definitely appreciate how your translator has become accustomed to fractional imperial units. :)
Nothing to be embarrassed about having old tools I actually prefer old tools they are usually better quality and if they have lasted this long I know I won't break them.. love your channel
There is NO substitute for quality tools that are well maintained. Age of a tool is no embarrassment it's how well it works & if it is still 'fit for purpose' keep using it. In general terms the older tools are frequently made from better quality steel etc. Thanks for sharing all your work tools Shoyan, I am in awe of the quality of your tools & the way they are maintained, ALL CREDIT TO YOU. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Thank you very much for sharing such precious and detailed informations about your tools. I was really hoping that you would do a video like this one someday! ARIGATO GOZAIMASHITA!
I wish he had that Hikoki C7RSHD miter saw model here in Germany, unfortunately only available in Japan. Based on reviews by Japanese owners it appears to be a very accurate saw. Not many glide miter saws out there with high precision, practically only Festool, but with a very high price tag. The Hikoki C7RSHD looks also very portable.
Thank you Shoyan-San, tools may change but your expertise in adapting and maintaining the excellent quality of your work ia always evident. You truly are an inspiration
I really enjoyed watching this, thank you! Here in Canada in the trades if you have to many shiny new tools people just assume you’re learning or you have more money than skills.
Very nice assortment of tools. You use everything in a professional manor and take excellent care of them all. In some cases the older tools can be much better than the newer ones. My daughter is doing woodworking and has quite the collection of tools herself. She also teaches at a community college. I very much enjoy watching all of the videos and learn a great deal from them. You can be very proud of the quality of your workmanship.
I think fine work is always about skills and experience. With tools others can do acceptable work. I did not see that you have ear and eye protection, but I suspect you do. Thank you for the tour.
Me gustaría extenderle una mano y saludarlo, pero supongo eso no es muy tradicional en Japón! Que gran video! Se aprecia mucho! I would love to shake this man hand and greet him but I guess that's no the Japanese tradition. Great video!! Much appreciated!
Sir, you are a very good teacher. I have been watching a lot of your videos and you have demonstrated very clearly the way Japanese carpenters repair or build wooden houses. From you I have learned the importance of measurement as the first foundational skill a carpenter must have. You are a master at measurement. I really hope one day you make a video on how to use the various functions of a Japanese square. Thank you for your hard work and generosity in sharing your skill.
May someone please tell me the model number of that compact makita groove-cutter? Thanks in advance! By the way: I really think that you don't necessarily need that many tools. I think you are a very talented and precise working carpenter. Tools are just there to make the job faster and easier. But if there is lack of skill, there will not be a single tool that's making up for it. Keep your great work up! It's always a pleasure to watch you building stunning things!
@@itsjustmetomc4848 thanks Tom, unfortunately that's the one I didn't need the model number from 😬😅 I meant the smaller one, that already has that "modern" teal look that makita-tools have now days.
That's a lot of tools etc to take to a job site. I sympathise as I have to load my wagon every morning then unload when I get back. If you don't take everything you are sure to find you forgot the thing you needed 😭
Ive been waiting for this video! Awesome collection. Im interested in the sanbaishaku ruler. What kind of brand is it or are there others like this one? I could use it to measure trim work for my cabinets with it. Also i love those Square rulers that you use to get straight cuts with a circular saw.
Old tools are better than new tools because they have lasted so long. They don’t make tools the way they used to when you have an old tool you take care of it because if you drop a new tool it will break.
love the channel since finding it. i was wondering what make and model your large squares are? I've seen you using them for quick crosscuts and would love to get my hands on something that size with such a solid grip.
Has anyone see the jack at 16:11 available in the US? Or where one could buy it internationally? The spring portion on it is so useful! Thank you for all the amazing content, and for sharing your passion and skill with us.
Well done 👍. I have admired your approach to executing fine results for a long time and always learn something even though I have been doing similar work for more than 60 years. And I have gradually acquired many of the same Japanese tools you have displayed such as the hand saws, planes, and chisels finding them to work better than the western style I began with. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
heya, love this video! I'm in the UK and have never seen the grove cutter here. I would find so many uses for it! are they still made in Japan? i would love to import one. If you or anyone knows any tool import sites that would greatly appreciated if the details were passed on.
15 000 usd to last a lifetime is worth the money. Compared to your life expenses that is very minimal, specially when its your whole income. You earned that back every day you went to work
at about 15:20: You don't use a high workbench because it causes back pain, you use a low one instead. I'm a westerner, and this is very funny. It's the low work bench that would cause me pain. As adults we don't really ever squat and if I try, I can't put my heels on the ground. I'm jealous that you can.
hello, can you give me the reference for your Makita slot milling machine, I do not know this machine and it seems quite practical to me, thank you and congratulations on your achievements
I would like to disagree. It is about skills not tools. You may buy tools for 25 000 $ but without skills it is useless. I would struggle to find a carpenter as skilled in my country. And in other parts of the world it is no shame to have an old tool if it does the job. If it survived 10 years it is a good tool regardless of the looks.
Před rokem+1
No shame needed on that lovely trimmer. Or any tool that puts food on your table.

Nothing embarrassing about your tools, they have lasted you a long time and, like me, you treat them as treasured possessions 👍

Thank you so much. You cannot imagine how long I tried to translate this japanese version video months ago... And now it is in english, I am happy.
I love the subtle humor in the way he speaks (translated).
I appreciate a person who takes good care of tools. My relatives laugh at me when I clean mine with cloth and brush 😂, as I don't use them often.
Hello from Indiana America. Your work and your explanations are very precise. Real Carpenter 👏🏻
This is wonderful, thanks for sharing! I would love to see a video that shows the carpenters Sharpening techniques.
I am so happy to have discovered this channel. Shoyan is very experienced and is a joy to watch him work!
Thankyou for showing your tools, love your videos
There's a reason why those tools are still around. A master Craftsman with his tools art.
Thank you great video really appreciate your skills 👍🏻

Thanks for this - very instructive.
