Japanese Woodworking - Entrance and Window Sashes, and Noki-ten [Season 2 - Part 2]

Hello, Shunya here. I'm a Japanese carpenter. This time, I'd like to install the sash in the Noki-ten of the Nokiura. First, I'll install the frame for the front door sash. I'm going to put in on the pillar on the right side, so I'll make sure that the pillar is completely vertical. If the base is cut off, it's necessary to check that it is vertical. This sash is an angle type. If you use a ready-made decorative product, you can attach it directly to the pillar. I'll use a 33mm decorative wooden frame for finishing. So, I'll attach the packing on the part and adjust the intervals. A sash is generally a frame used for a window or entrance that is on an exterior wall. Aluminum isn't the only type of sash. There are also wooden sashes. What I'm going to install now is a regular aluminum front door sash. This one will be a sodekabe with studs installed. A 25cm display shelf will be placed on the interior side of the entrance. That's why the wall will be installed here. The wall is a little bit inside, and this way, the rain will not enter the house. Installing window sashes isn't a difficult job. It's simple as long as the foundation for the frame is installed vertically, leveled, and not warped. Install the frame. This door sash is equipped with an electronic lock. It can be locked and unlocked from the inside with the flick of a switch. It's a very convenient feature. Now, install the sash frame. It's a little tricky to fit because there is a power cable. I'll make sure the cable is not too tight. Next, check the level. Also, measure the diagonal line at the same time. If you match the diagonals in millimeters, the sashes will always be at right angles. For finishing, apply waterproof tape to the outside of the sash frame. Although rainwater won't reach this point, I apply waterproof tape on the door just in case. The installation of the front door sash frame is complete. This is a long, narrow window that opens and closes by raising and lowering. It only opens about a third of the way. The lower fitting goes up, and only the lower part opens. This is the easiest type of sash to install. It can be attached by simply tightening the screws from the outside. Next, install the living room's hakidashi sash. This will be the largest sash in the house. The height is 2 meters, and the width is 2,600 meters. It is a hakidashi sash with shutters. When installing a hakidashi sash, place the support material precisely on the foundation, and install it by securing the packing material to the sides. This sash is equipped with shutters on the outside of the fittings. In the case of a sash with shutters, make sure the sash frame doesn't warp insides too much. If it is warped, the shutter will not attach properly. A secret scroll is attached to the inside of the shutter box. I'll apply the scroll. Actually, it's just a waterproof sheet. I wonder if the rain ever gets inside this. Apply waterproof tape to this sheet as well, just in case. Also, apply waterproof tape around the outside. Put the screw cover on. The installation is complete. They brought the fittings at just the right time. It is a gorgeous double-siding fitting. It would be expensive to break them. From here, I'll install the foundation of the noki ten of the noki ura. The material is called nobuchi. It is 4 cm square. I'll screw the 4 cm square nobuchi to the bottom edge of the rafters to make the foundation. Put a piece of board for the foundation on both ends, and install it accurately. The part that I'm installing the foundation for is called the noki ura. You can also call it the noki saki. But this part is actually the noki ura. The noki saki is a dip that protrudes about 10 cm from the hana kakushi. People say I rent 3 sen from the noki saki, but 3 sen is only about 10 cm. It's too small to shelter from the rain. The location of the noki ura and the noki saki are a little different. Cut the noki ten material. The material is 1 cm thick cedar board. These boards are mainly made of sapwood, but the colors are different, so I use different colors in different places. Noki ten refers to the ceiling covering of the noki ura. It doesn't refer to the entire noki shita, but to the decorative ceiling boards. Japanese-style houses don't typically use the noki ten. The noki ura is the exposed surface. The noki ura and the noki ten look the same but are actually different. Line the pieces up and cut them to the correct lengths. Line them up, line them up, line them up. On the playground, I line them up and draw the intervals to a handmade wooden ruler. That way, I'll get the actual measurement, not calculations. I'll measure the boards for all the eaves. First, I'll install the noki ura. Apply the glue and secure it with a 4 mm tacker. Locations beyond the decorative girder will be installed using the yari okuri method. Attach it to the girder side first, and then the hanakakushi side. The part above the girder can be installed more easily as I simply insert it in. Install the noki ten of the terrace. Just as the front door part was installed, it started to rain heavily. But the good thing about the noki ten, of course, is that I can work under it. I won't get wet. Cut the noki ten material for the terrace part. As I did with the material for the entrance, I'll draw numbers on the noki ten material and install it in the numbers order. I'll use the same board for both the top and bottom of the girder. This way, when you sit in the living room and look at the top of the terrace, it uses the same board. The grain and pattern of the wood will be aligned longitudinally without any difficulty. It takes a little more time and effort, but I'm going to be very particular about using a single board. Install the noki ten of the terrace in the same way. It's a well-cut board, but it'll shift to either the left or right if I tap it to install as usual. So, after four or five boards are installed, I install them while keeping a right angle. I can't put the one that's out of place back in place, but I can shift the one with room by 1mm. Somehow, I keep the right angle until the end. This house is about 50 tsubo. It takes about 5 days to finish installing the noki ten. It's a tough and unpleasant job, because I have to turn my head repeatedly to hit it to install it above me. However, it's beautiful when it's painted. Now, I've finished installing the dashes. The windows can be closed since the fittings are installed. Also, I've installed the noki ten. The girder is cypress, and the noki ten is cedar. The white color matches, and it looks beautiful. That's all for today. Thank you for watching.
