Thank you too for watching! I'm glad you find it interesting!

Thanks Paul! Glad you like it! Took me more to make that than the actual joint :))

Thanks Frank! Yeah, and I dare to say that nowadays these are starting to revive, in a small amount dough, all thanks to www Me, personally I didn't knew 3 years ago for example :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Eric! Yes, because I've filmed very crappy this time, and maple is not so visible when marked I've made that animation so people can understand what am I doing there :) Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! There will be something similar, soon, I may call it a temple :)

Thank you Troy! I appreciate it!

Thanks Robert! Is not so hard as it looks 😁 With a little care is very doable. It was my first this one😁

Thanks Kevin! Yes, so small, errors are more visible. Also on the finger sides, I let it a little loose, when chiseling those half mortices the chisel bite more of the marking

Thank you Mik!!!

Thank you Franco! Glad you like it!

Thank you Patrick! Glad you like it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks Stavros! 👍

Thanks Steve!

Thanks!

Thanks also for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you Jake! Glad you like it!

Thanks! Yes, the animation is mostly because marks on the maple were barely visible. And to make peps understand what I am marking over 1.5 minutes there :) Aaaa, normally I put commentary wherever something is not obvious etc, but here was nothing to say actually, the thing is just mark well and then chop off the waste, as much as perfect to the markings :) I was too wondering what to write in the process but couldn't find anything to say, sorry :)

Thank you very much! I am glad to hear that!

Thank you!

Thank you very much! Hope so will be more interesting projects here

Obrigado Marcelo! :)

Thanks Felipe!

Lol, Dorian is level 9999 :) I'm just fouling around :)

You're on the right path for sure :D

Thanks :D

Hehehe

Thank you for your kind comment, as always! I don't which species of maple is this one, which Acer..., it is anyway European maple, harvested from Slovenia, probably a mountain maple. Just some parts of the board had those figures, the rest was normal grain. It is indeed a very nice wood, and very unforgiving when it comes to joinery if you don't cut it perfectly, you can see any mistakes at the end :) Probably with some electric tools and jigs you can achieve a joint like this, at least to take out the rough material, and tune it then by hand. I plan in future to develop more of these carpentry skills, specially for myself, to build a workshop or some house design elements, and I will probably use the help of electric tools too. Thank you again, all the best!

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your courteous reply; if you're planning on doing your own house project using this kind of carpentry, that's something worth looking forward to. All the more if you intend to incorporate the judicious use of power tools. Kind regards.

Thank you! For now I plan just some design elements to a existing space, which will be the workshop. Hope one day to be able to build a little house in this manner :) All the best!

Dear Sir, Thank you once again for keeping me informed. I wish you well in all your future endeavours & shall remain subscribed in the hope of being notified of such undertakings. Kind regards.

you say you have no hand skills to speak of :) you dont have to start with a Japanese scarf joint. Start cutting tennons or fingerjoints. Today I practiced my finger joints for 8 hours and the last practice piece came out almost perfect. I felt like I improved throughout the day :) then move on to through tennons, dovetails and then attempt Japanese joinery. have a good day

Thank you Ron! Glad you enjoyed!All the best too!

Haha true! Thanks!

Thanks Seth! This is the first I've made, is more for carpentry, I would love to use it full scale but don't know where :) In a couple of months I may be moving to a proper shop, small dough, but I was thinking to add some decorative beams with these kind of joynery, or at least to simulate it on the front :)

Adrian Preda I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I bought a new house, and it has a pretty big shop that goes with it, and I plan on making it very Japanese style! We might be moving into new shops at the same time :)

Lovely, congrats! Yes, me too :) That's why I've bought a japanese house build book some time ago, and plan to study more :))

what book?

Thank you!

Thank you Vincent!

Thanks, sure, these are carpentry type joinery. You can add also in a furniture some design elements like so, the only limit is your imagination :)

I see this as beams too. Long horizontal supports for roofing. Nice joint Adrian. Good job.

Thanks man! Let's japanese beam your shop :)

Uros, I'm going to make one but without the hole in the middle so I don't have plug it with sticks afterwards. (shalim se)

Michael Coceski Yeah top much work with those sticks ;-)

Thanks! That crazy sharp one? You're so mean 😁😁

Adrian Preda hehehe ;)

Merci Xavier!

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, first time :)

Thanks! No, just by myself, I've studied several pictures or clips to see how it is inside, then I've made a drawing in CAD to proportion it with my piece of maple, then thought a little how to mark it, then is just a matter of chopping of the waste :)

Absolutely incredible. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks! Sure, mostly in carpentry, or if you wanna make a mini one and put it on the shelf like me :)

My dream is to built a house on my own.. I want to use Japanese style and joineries.. Any advice on that??

Try looking on amazon, I saw several books of jp joinery, for timber framing - carpentry. Cannot recommend you a specific one, cause I don't own it, but try to read reviews, look inside the book wherever amazon has that option

Great!.. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look in to it..

Thanks!

Thank you Emilio!

Thanks man! Yeah, sunday evening musing was :)

:)

Thank you! Hishima if I recall is the maker of that 120mm dozuki saw

Thanks arkadas :)

Hi, I have updated the description with a link with similar mini clamps I have

That's a Veritas marking knife

Cool!

Thanks! yeah, looks spooky, but I never had an injury with the plane, is a lot safer then the chisels, from which all my fingers are marked :) specially in the beginnings when I've underestimated clamping the workpieces :)

Well, really, what are a few µm of skin compared to the result. I bled for less than rhat you know... like just leaving my chisels on the bench for no good reason. Just passing thrue, ooops!

I yelled at the screen.

Is a Veritas marking knife

Romanian, but live in Italia-Slovenia area

Ah, sorry, sounded turkish your name :))

Thank you, if I understood from translation that is a positive comment :)

I don't have any other experience with full size kind off joinery, but just by playing and observing this small one I may say with the diagonal cuts facing horizontal, cause you may think there is way more wood contact area to spread the forces too (and looks cooler too :) ) On the other side, vertical, can be better too cause wood pieces are holding to each other to the end grains, which holds better pressure. Anyway this is just an empirical explanation, don't think that wood strength-size ratio is so linear so can be applied to a smaller piece too.

Traditionally the wedge is put in vertically, so that is also the orientation of the joint.

Ok I thought it would be a stronger friction fit but I had seen some flip so before I but the weight of the upper floor I wanted some more insight. Thanks!
