      Yes. I think you can find high quality lumber in the US but you gotta be in the know. Also he has amazing tools and amazing skills which helps make it look even better. If you gave me that same lumber it would probably end up looking like I bought it at Home Depot fire sale. ;)

    Emperor Shoyan!
    Today you asked for subscribers. Today I subscribed. I’m addicted to your content: your craftsmanship, professionalism and patience are rarely found qualities in the 21st century.
    I discovered your UA-cam channel around last December while doing research on a variety of topics related to carpentry, hand tools and power tools. My objective is to build a range of simple, furniture with clean lines for home. The furniture must maximize space - nesting desks, tables and benches and discretely hide furniture when not in use during the day.
    Discovering your UA-cam channel is dangerously intoxicating. A beginner like me can easily acquire a false sense of confidence after watching you. You make things look so effortless; and that’s the danger. The most talented people, regardless of profession, make the difficult look easy.
    Think I’ve watched virtually all of your English channel content. Can’t wait for your next video, Emperor, Shoyan!
    All the best from beautiful Vancouver, Canada!

    Shoyan is a 70-year-old veteran carpenter.
    Although he can do his work without power tools, he often works alone, so he uses power tools a lot these days.
    His use of saws, saw blades, and a planer are good examples of this.
    You can see how professional he is.
