In this video, Takachan, a master carpenter with 56 years of experience, demonstrates the traditional Japanese mortise and tenon joint (Hira-hozo-tsugi).
No fast-forward, no voiceover—just the authentic sounds of precise hand tools and a wooden mallet driving large timber into place.
If you shrink the wood size, this method can also be applied to furniture and doors. Give it a try!
