I did this video in one take but stick along and I’ll show you how to make kumiko infill patterns with just a trim router and some cheap v bits

Good call. I am beginning to realize that using a trim router with the right bits and a jigsaw with two-sided clean blades like the Bosch expert hardwood T308BF ones might save a lot of trouble im building kumiko in less time.

Outstanding idea! I will use this technique. A tip for kumiko pieces on table saw sleds: Screw a scrap to the sled at one point to make a lever that holds the piece where you want it. The screw should be closer to the piece than to where you're going to push. Therefore the force of your fingers is magnified, and no worries about finger safety.

Thanks Rich. Yeah I’ve tried capping pieces in and it has definitely improved the cut for sure but probably just mind over matter plus had a lot of close calls over the last couple years of doing kumiko. Was looking into custom router bits last night to see if I could get more angled v bits and looks like a few places do then so the opportunity with a router seems good for doing different patterns also! Been keen to hear how you get on when you try it, keep me up to date!

been watching a ton of videos on Kumiko lately and yours popped up. Fantastic idea, and easily doable as most will have a trim router. I wonder how hard it would be to make a dedicated kumiko plane with an old chisel much like a DIY rabbet plane. Basically, it's a variation on a molding plane of sorts.

Just an update on this. After review my comment on the different angle bits may not work for the asa no ha pattern. In the video I use a 60 degree bit on a double bevel which creates a 30degree cut either side of the piece thus 3 mating pieces matching up to 180degrees at the centre. So to create the outer angles if my mind serves my correctly then a customised 85 degree bit would be needed to cut a 15 degree angle but on a double bevel it would create the same angle. Will look for the correct bit an update from there

I have been looking into making kumiko and, like you, am concerned about the time making the infill pieces accurately and quickly. Your ideas are very interesting. Have you thought about using a tilting base with your router? Then you would have an infinite choice of angles. Just a thought...

@morganbespoke6311 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yes I’ve actually started listening designing a small aluminium adaptation for palm routers but finding the time and resource is hard so far but I’m designing it so it can make grid work as well as infill pieces 😁

I'm going down router jigs for angles myself. Where did you get your v point bits from . Ha ganna planes are impossible to get almost, and ridiculously priced. By the way great video

@morganbespoke6311 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Just got them off Amazon as they were dirt cheap vs the trend ones . You just need need to figure out the angles and search like “120 degree v bit 1/4 shank” so many cheap ones on Amazon from China that do the job so well

Hi Morgan! Very interesting idea of you to rout the angels with a trimrouter. I am new in the kumiko work and I made the same experiance, than you did. I myself have other conditions than you have cause my kumiko is scaled bigger. So my strips are 12 mm thick and 24 mm high. The whole pattern is about 154 to 108 cm. I made and am stiill working on a Asa-No-Ha pattern, where one needs 67,5, 22,5 and 45 degree angles. As far as I know you can't get those kinds of router bits, can you? Until yet I pre-cut everything roughly and sand every peace on a disc-sande r. Extremely time consumig. If you drop me your e-mail adress, I could send you a picture of my project. Good luck for your method and projects. Best regards from Austria

@morganbespoke6311 2 жыл бұрын

Hiya. Thanks. By those Angles I presume you are making it for the square grid work? There is an additional way of cutting the angle for the square grid asa no ha at a different angle but in would have to consult my kimono pattern book by Des King which I’ll do this evening for you. If you send me a message on Instagram that’s best

@morganbespoke6311 2 жыл бұрын

I had a look into this and you can make the latter with a 135deg bit, 120deg bit and 45deg bit all available on Amazon. May need large ones due to the 12mm thickness.
