Really looking forward to the forthcoming projects. Many thanks for taking a look at this fascinating and detailed Japanese work.

Just discovered your channel when I was looking to learn more about Kumiko. This is a really great video, clearly presented and well lit shots that make it easy to see what you are doing, thanks!

from those angles you mention at the beginning i reckon you're gonna make square kumiko. for triangular or hexagonal kumiko you'd need jigs for 15, 30, 60 and 75 degrees. BTW, i recognized square asa no ha, triangular asa no ha, goma and sakura. let's see what else i can recognize... ok, time to keep watching. 18:11 wouldn't that be easier with a wider chisel?

Brilliant, John! Really fantastic work! 😃 Looking forward to see what you make with them! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Wicked video thanks 🎉

I'm glad you're taking up kumiko. The other woodworkers who have made videos about it have been very quiet, so it's good that someone is taking up the kumiko baton. Watching you shave that sapele it became clear why most kumiko is made with soft hardwoods, like basswood.

G'Day Macca!! Bloody amazing work mate! You made these look so easy, i'll have to give it a go!!

Treat yourself to a nice new set of Japanese pull saws John 😍😍😍😍 whilst playing the vapors i'm turning Japanese 🎶🎶🎶🎶😂😂😂

your editing and presentation has come along really well - might give this a go if I can think of a good application!

Hi John. Great video, but curious as to why you wouldn't suggest using a shooting board. There's a lot less chance of tear out on the edges that way.

Amazing skill John!!!

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful style of woodworking. Looking forward to watching your journey into this fascinating subject.

You've got to figure out how to make a jig where you can get the correct angles on a long strip, and then you cut the strip to the correct width to get the pieces. Way better than cutting each individual piece.

Skip to 17.41 enough said. No way I'd lose my mind up in there.

I see Japanese Damascus steel chisels in your future.

As always a great video John .

Would a Hex Drive Nut Threaded Insert be a better choice to resist the pull when tightening? I look forward to see how they work.

Say goodbye to the finger 🥴

Interesting John but far to intricate for me yet. Be interesting to see where you go with this. Tbh I’ve never heard of it.😁

great video

It was enough just to show. How much he talks and can't shut up! It would be better to sharpen your chisel, it cuts badly and it shows. But I put like for the video and say thanks to him. I needed to look and he showed. Well done.

What router and router plate are you using?

Umm, was your table leg throwing off sparks at the start of that resaw? Haha

What kind of router are you using with the quick locking feature?

Far too advanced for me but very interesting 👍
