    Beautifully shot & edited. This kind of joinery is truly art, the skill level needed to be precise & know how the wood is going to work itself, incredible. This kind of building & joinery is especially well suited to a place with high seismic activity, as it allows a degree of flexibility in the structure, to move with the earth during quakes, and to swell & shrink with the humidity without compromising the integrity of the joints & structure.

The fact that very few of those buildings have survived to today is an important clue. Just because something was done 250 years ago does not mean it is good practice: It was done and used over time because for a long time it was one of the best and cheapest options available from a very short list of choices. >>By having the structure simply sit on top of the stones, it avoids directly receiving the forces of the earthquake<< Absolute BS. That's not how earthquakes work, and it ignores almost all the common risk case factors around residential buildings in earthquakes. How does it handle lateral movement? How does it handle liquifaction? How does it deal with prolonged movement? The reality is simple: it's a crappy base to build from. There are better options. Just because "it's been used for 250+ years" is not a good reason. Do you *not* install running water or electricity or gas because that wasn't used 250+ years ago?

    By having those stones under the house, it'll slide back and forth gently, like a pontoon boat on top of sand. It's a way of isolating the structure from kinetic energy, a "soft-resistance" type instead of a concrete rebar "hard resistance" type.

    Awesome. Thanks. Does anybody know if the house is attached to the foundation stones somehow, or just by it's own weight? I am wondering what prevents it from drifting or tipping during high winds and earthquake. I am starting on a timber project and wondering for practical reasons.

  • @JayCWhiteCloud
    @JayCWhiteCloud2 күн бұрын

    It is not within my capacity to comment on this frame, but I can affirm that in various regions such as Japan, Asia, Europe, and North America, where timber framing is still prevalent, structures are often secured to the foundation or reinforced with "drift pins" to prevent movement during seismic or wind events when done in the modern or restored context. These measures serve as a contemporary form of insurance and complement the traditional stability of the frames. It is highly likely that if you encounter an old building (130 years or older) anywhere in the world, if made of wood, it is a timber frame resting on the foundation by its own weight, a practice that has endured for centuries, if not millennia.

    I love watching it, but it makes me sad. For one, you can study and work yourself to death and still never be able to afford a home and TBH that level of cohesion at work and sense for quality won't be found in Europe... Everything needs to be as cheap as possible, the lowest possible quality and still be sold for the maximal price they can get away with. Just to give two examples: 1) Restaurant: the prices went 100% up, the meals got 30% smaller, the ingredients look and taste worse and at times, food is visibly old, half the waiters were fired and the rest work unpaid overtime to make up for it and then the owner complains about employees quitting or slacking off and customers being disgruntled... 2) It doesn't matter where, but when you have a problem with a purchased product, you'll only reach AI at a phone which tells you to look for solutions online and you'll hardly ever manage to get a human to talk to. If you get an email address you can count on it, that they won't read you mall and only send you a standard reply back. Everywhere the quality goes down, the workload goes up, and people work until they had enough and quit or get fired only to end up in a different job that's totally not worth ruining your health over...

    Astounding work, I think it is excellent that you are preserving the heritage of this art form for future generations. I was going to ask how this meets fire codes, but looking closer, this is not like traditional balloon framing in the west, as the horizontal members are the same width as the vertical, so none of the two story walls have continuous vertical pathways. I imagine, due to the thickness of the beams and tight joinery, that it is actually safer in fires and (definitely) much safer for earthquakes and typhoons as compared to western style 'stick' framing.

  • @FoxyfloofJumps
    @FoxyfloofJumps2 күн бұрын

    The only place where it falls short for fire safety, is the battens that help frame the walls. They are thinner, being about 20mm thick, by 100mm wide. But those should be buried in mud or clay walls, so the fire danger is minimal. Also, the mud walls are susceptible to excessive rain and burrowing insects like mud-dauber wasps. But that's a matter of decades, not months as far as issues go.
