If your urge to nest, like mine, doesn’t need help kicking into high gear, this video may be a liability. It may cause you, like me, to trip into a rabbit hole of watching more of the channel’s videos to discover ways to improve your home. And if you don’t own a home, as I don’t, that trip could hurt a little. But, I suspect you’ll find the host, Shoyan, to be charming and clever and with the coolest tools, more than offsetting the pain. That’s why I keep tuning in, after all.

I’m in love with the way Shoyan, a carpenter, works: efficient where the results are hidden, and meticulous where they’re visible. Then there are the tools. He’s a maestro with a circular saw, has a cute benchtop mortiser, and owns a four-bladed saw that cuts tenon cheeks and shoulders with one movement. It’s overkill for 99% of people, but Shoyan lets me relish in my kind of 1% a little bit.

Amid all his home-building mastery and ad hoc (but still lovely) furniture, Shoyan will hit you with a grin out of sheepishness or pride, reminding you he’s one of us—sometimes. He has a really pleasant relationship with the cameraman too. You know how people talk about The Great British Bake Off being pleasant to watch? That’s how I feel about Shoyan Japanese Carpenter.

So watch this video and tell me what you do next. The video has enough furniture-scale work that it’s great by itself. For the seat specifically, I love how he rigs up a temporary assembly to keep parts aligned, and how he racks the seat square before finishing its assembly. The dude’s obviously problem-solved for decades. In fact, I suspect there’s enough good stuff that you’ll trip right onto Shoyan’s subscribe button and wondering how you can apply your furniture knowledge to your home. That’s what I did, and I’m still grinning about it.
