  I had the privilege of working with a Japanese finish carpenter in Hawaii for 7 years.  Their attention to detail is sometimes frustrating  for a  professional carpenter from the mainland but the knowledge I gained was  incredible…

  Shoyan, use a small RC Car with an old mobile phone attached. Call its camera using wifi, then you can do inspection without having to go under the house. If you are concerned about losing the car, you can attach a safety metal rope to pull it out if you need to.

  I doubt anyone noticed this (except for other carpenters), but before undercutting the round column, he prep’d a scrap board. He used his power planer to remove a tiny amount from the surface of the scrap board, the equivalent thickness of the kerf of the hand saw blade. Perhaps 1 or 2 mm? This ensured the tightest possible fit of the floor boards around the column. He filmed it, but didn’t include that in the narration.  This is the work of a perfectionist.

  I always look forward to Shoyan’s videos. Having worked as a carpenter years ago, and now pursuing woodworking as a hobby, he brings so much integrity and craftsmanship to carpentry. Here in the US it is a mere manual job with little skill or status.  Shoyan is a craftsman who puts honor and integrity into his work. We need this attitude in the US - not just from the craftsmen, but from public appreciation of skilled work well done.  Bravo, keep these videos coming!
