In this video I walk through the process I used to make 3 large shoji doors with hip boards for a customer's dividing wall. These are simple shoji with no tsukeko or jaguchi joints. All port orford cedar with western red cedar hip board panels. This was build back in my first Colorado shop. Enjoy!

love that you made your own tools to speed the process

@DanielVeillard Жыл бұрын

nice, you have lot of tools, when I did mines I had far more manual work to do (countless manually made mortises, grin) ! To tension the shoji paper after gluing it I mist it with water, this looks horrible initially, but when drying it really tension the paper. Enjoying your videos, learning quite a bit, thanks !

Thanks! The first few I made were much more manual, learned a lot but took a longer time. I’ll have to try that misting technique

Hey Jason, beautiful work and video. 2??. Is your double faced tape set in a shallow rabbet around the inside edge of the outer frames? or on a flush surface, which is my condition? (I'm using the same tape.) Also, were your door left unfinished? I'm using Spanish cedar. Thanks

I’ve always had trouble squaring the glue ups on large doors like these.

How do you thicken the rice paper, or make it more sturdy? Is there a spray or a paint that you put on it to keep it translucent, but still sturdy?

The tape your using for the paper, got a link? I think it would make my life way easier. Thanks.

You mentioned a "kadiki" with which I am not familiar. Would you be so kind as to post a picture/link. thanks and great video.

Where? Maybe I said kebiki? It’s a Japanese marking gauge with a small blade on it.

Amazing work. Question: are those Makita groovers preferable to just using a router? Second, where can I get my hands on one!?

@Neverstopbuilding Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Very much so, for one they are much faster and the cutting direction / spin is in the direction of the cut and so very stable. If you apply light pressure against the fence it will cut clean every time. No chance of a slight hesitation causing a router to dig in. Also they can do wide grooves… like 30mm deep in a single pass. I find much less stress when using them. I have only ever seen them in Japan.

Dude you're rocking a dado stack on a radial arm saw?? That is absolutely fucking terrifying.

Thanks for the video. Could you describe your circ saw guide? It looks like a metal ruler on some kind of thin base? Thanks.

Thank you! Actually I made a video about it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7ldlbmYrq7Rpn0.html

@@Neverstopbuilding Thank you. Maybe I'm misunderstanding? I was asking about the circular saw guide in this shoji video that you're using instead of a track saw. At 31:36 for example.
