Bravo!!! What wonderful craftsmanship. Enjoyed the video immensely. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful home. Super craftsmanship. Would love to have such a highly talented craftsman build a home for my family.
Impeccable craftsmanship! Japanese timber framing is a joy to watch. Thank you for posting this!
What an expert carpenter this man is. I have never seen such precise work. A man proud of his finished project. Tim, I could see why you would like to work with him on a house.
WOW . Very impressive. A shot of Sake before framing. Flooring installation using a nail gun and wearing socks!! Yikes. Very sharp wood carving tools. That stair case is a work of art. Incredible craftsman!! All that work in 5 months. Amazing. I wish he lived near me.
always fun to watch someone so skilled
That video of the Japanese house was amazing. If that house was built here it would cost 100 million dollars, and take 20 years to build. Now that’s a craftsman for sure.
Exquisite workmanship and no Illegals over there doing hack work.
After watching too many CyFy inspection video shorts. I'm inclined to answer his question, "Does it feel American to you?" with No. It's not nearly crappy enough.
Fabulous video! Thanks for sharing. My dad was a master carpenter and would have enjoyed it very much.
On another note, I watched the climate change video you are pushing. Looks like you took the blue pill.
What more can a person say than : what an incredible job!! Well done Shoyan! It would be an honour to work with you !
Craftsmanship not found in the USA. Not my style BUT loved his work. He sure knows how to use a chisel......and a block planner.
Hello from Ohio USA.. Love your video series! My father was a carpenter/cabinet maker/ finish carpenter. I am in that field, but do a lot of that same type of work on a small personal scale mostly for myself. In the video Fixing a Drooping Beam with Power Timber, part 4, at about 4.30 minutes you used a long measuring device that measure it seem like an inside measurement, and it can be set to that distance and used to mark the beam for cutting. It appears again later as well. I was wondering what you call that or who makes it. I was also wondering your brand of saws, chisels, and you silver colored (?stainless steel) hammer. I am interested in adding some of those to carpentry tools.. Thanks so much and thank you for the informative videos, very well done!
