I'm a retired mechanical engineer and am also getting into japanese joinery. I also do alot of electrical ... welding ... and metal casting. In the past I did a lot of cabinetry and paneled door but as a result of an accident those days are done lol. But am loving getting into some Japanese stuff which is how I found our channel. I love your energy and you channel. Thank you for all you work!

Thanks for the video … using your design I made one for myself … slightly different (including a translation to U.S. customary unit of measure) … I have been experimenting with Kumiko for about a year and your Shoji lamp is a great application

Hello John, a very nice work, I would also like to dive into the world of Kumiko. Do you have a construction plan for the beautiful lamp that can be purchased? Best regards from Daniel from Oberhausen

Just come across this on my journey into learning, when cutting the rebates/notches in the posts you could set up two stop blocks. One on the right of the saw blade for the start and one to the left of the blade for the last cut, then easy to make first cut and nibble out to the last stop/ rotate repeat/ flip repeat. Probably thought of this now as it’s a year old vid, but hey just putting the idea out there. Great description of the process.

This was super helpful! I had wanted to make a shoji lamp with kumiko, but I couldn't mentally figure out the frame. It was also really helpful seeing how you placed the bulb holder and how you used only one asa-no-ha pattern per side. I'd thought I was going to have to have two. Really helpful! Thank you!

I was recently cutting slots in the bottom of a box to hold small/thin items upright. I didn’t have a good method for getting them evenly spaced. I really like your simple jig with keyed slots to make accurate, repeatably spaced slots in a piece of wood. Definitely a technique to add to my repertoire. Beautiful lantern - I may make one of these as a gift for someone!

Skillful work and nice design. I’ve done a little Kumiko but haven’t put any of it to good use. I liked the video and subscribed as well, but truthfully, the long arduous shots of your working out of frame were annoying to me. Not anyone else I guess because no one else seemed to mention it. I’m just being “that guy”, I guess, but hope you’ll correct it in the future. Best regards and thank you for the inspiration.

Just an idea if you had a stop block at each end when cutting the half laps on the frame it would be easier and quicker with less chance of slipping when removing the waste between the cuts

Another question re equipment, what is the best brand of Rip Saw Guide (to make really thin cuts perfectly) I could use for a bandsaw? I am a very beginner in my having fun, live on a farm in regional western australia and often no phone service. If I cut myself, I am stuffed. I have decided to invest anything and everything that will keep my hands away from blades. Cheers.

Love the kumiko lantern and I really fancy taking this up. My only concern is how would you finish the wood as it’s so fine for de nibbing etc.
