Japanese woodworking - Tokonoma: How to Finish it

In this video, I finished "tokonoma" that is a Japanese specific space for the ornament. I used the top grade of zelkova. Although it's a small space, it's hard to finish it due to many things to do, and it took a full day.

I'm always amazed of the different tool you use, I've never seen a drywall saw like that, wish we could get them here,

He cuts wood with wood saws. A drywall saw is a keyhole saw.

très impressionnant ! merci !

Wonderful work and skills! Also very good translations! A little advice from a native English speaker: the word “tear” has multiple meanings with different pronunciations. The pronunciation for the meaning you intend sounds exactly like the word “tare” ;)

Wish I knew what planer that is....or had a list of every tool you got in your shop. Seems like the tools in japan are far different from the US.

[@Jason-gj1pu]

Do you really plane down the flames of keyaki? Running up the flames means less tearout to me .I will try your way. 😊

[@frankcornfield5915]

Interesting work. I don't understand using a large thick section of beautiful hardwood for the floor of a cupboard.

[@RustyShackleford_]

It isn't a cupboard, per se, but he used it because it will last and won't warp. Japanese construction tends to aim for outlasting many lifetimes, so they do their best work instead of "good enough for government work".

[@rasmusekberg3385]

What kind of saw is that for the gypsum?

[@OOAK-Ireland]

can you let me know where you get your hand planers?

[@dyermker250]

May I ask why so much excessive planing?
