Thanks for this, it was interesting for a British carpenter to watch and see how you do things in Japan. Your tools are old because they work and there has been no need to replace them, I still have tools that my grandfather passed down to me!
As a relatively young millwork installer, old tools are sometimes the best when taken care of. They outlast everything else. And the Helping stick is my best assistant. I have two! Wonderful videos; thank you.
Old tools like old carpenters show their beauty in the work they create. I particularly like your silver hammer. I find the flare at the working end very practical and beautiful.
You are a master, and your tools help you complete some of the most impressive and beautiful work I have ever seen. I wouldn’t be embarrassed to show older tools when they help you complete such breathtaking finished projects. It’s your skills that make your work truly shine: the best tools in world will never make up for weak skills. A monkey with a million dollar tool chest is still going to throw his own poop. A craftsman is always going to get the job done well, even his tools are old. Thank you for the incredible opportunity to witness your Masterclass.
Thank you for the new video. ☺ There is no need to be ashamed of having old tools! It shows that you take great care of them - You also use them so well that they don't look old at all in the videos.
Japanese quality work much like German quality work I’m German born wood worker and tile contractor but now I live in USA for long time I love ur work and videos thank u for sharing ur videos u r the master of masters thank u very much
I love watching you and especially your results. They are all done so well! No need to apologize for tools, whatever works for you to get the job done is all we need to know. Thank you, again.
Part of that is the poor quality materials. Look at this Japanese construction lumber. It has no knots, perfectly square and little to no bow. The Japanese really appear to be a culture of OCD people, of course their lumber mills would only sell perfect lumber. In America, our construction lumber is crap. Ironic, because we have so many trees. Good luck finding a 2x4 that's straight. Our construction techniques reflect that, in fact. A good carpenter will organize studs according to which is bowed most to least, installing those with the least bow towards the ends of the wall, and those with the most in the middle of the wall, and all bowed in the same direction. This man built beautiful stairs out of construction lumber, in America, that would be impossible without actually planing down all the lumber to make it smooth and flat. Not to mention our lumber is crappy whitewood, that has no beauty to it.
@@madmanmapper Poor quality materials are only part of it. The fact is the quality of workmanship in the U.S. will pale compared to this man. I've owned many houses already and carpentry and building are my hobbies.
Dear Shoyan, thank you for your wonderful videos. I nearly watched them all. I am fascinated with the japanese culture for quite some time now an i am loving that you show us how all the work in these beautiful homes are done. Don't be embarrassed to show us your "old" tools. Think about it this way: You treated them so well that you still can use them just fine. This is also a sign of good craftsmanship. Best wishes from germany to japan. Kenkō o iji suru
A good quality tool that has provided good service for many years is a blessing, and a joy to see. I am very jelous, Japanese power tools are superior to US power tools, in quality and longevity
0:48 (For the subtitles) I think you mean "30mm square," as opposed to 30mm^2 / 30 square mm. It stood out to me, because 0.047 inch is a TINY little thing (1.2mm). 30mm = 1-3/16" Sorry to nitpick. :) I know imperial units can be very difficult for people who are not accustomed to them.
"It's a shame that my tools are all old, and I apologize for showing them" --- This sounds so Japanese, doesn't it? And I suspect that something is missed in the translation. I am not a craftsman myself, not by trade anyway. I have a house and I like to build and repair stuff. And I like it when my tools get old and used. There is some pride in that, and I suspect that you have some pride in this too, mr. Shoyan. Nothing wrong with old beaten up tools. It just means that you use them well.

I like the helping stick, having dislocated a thumb doing a ceiling on a wobbling ladder, I think it's great.

If only this man had built my house...WOW!
The cedar roofing was fantastic. Knotless wood - what a wonder to see.
Old tools are great!
This was wildly impressive. You are incredibly talented.
Thanks for taking the time to translate all these videos.

Very satisfying to watch. I appreciate you taking your time to make these videos
I´m proud to be a carpenter, too. Perfect work!
I have one of those helping sticks...... Really useful
we rarely have this kind of quality construction in the us
Right? In the states new builds are all horrible quality

here we call your "helping stick" a "T stick"
