Making Japanese Shoji Screens / Tabletop Decorative Panels

Рет қаралды 118,017

5 жыл бұрын

Small Japanese shoji screens, a miniaturized version of traditional panels that can serve as a home decoration or a tabletop, desk ornament.
I've made them with various kumiko patterns, shoji rice paper behind, some with double panels, foldable with hinges and a small shelf board between, and solo ones, with supports.
Wood: western red cedar / basswood and walnut for kumiko
Finish: carnauba-beeswax mix (Borma Antikwachs)
Shoji paper and rice glue
I have some for sale on my store www.adrianpreda.com/shop

I think the most satisfying part is when each piece fits perfectly into the other. 😍

This has got to be one of the most well edited KZfaq videos I have ever seen. Adrian, that was seriously awesome... I have to step up my game! Western Red Cedar is quite the diva isn't it ;)

@AdrianPreda 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Dorian! It is indeed :) I would have went more crazy with joinery if it wasn't so small, with an extension of the rails over the styles chamfers...I can imagine how lovely is it to work with cedar on normal size things.

This is insanely well made. I watched it in Japan with my neighbour who is a professional traditional carpenter and he was even more in owe than me. Adrian, you should consider working in Japan. Your attention to detail is phenomenal and the end result is simply exquisite. The only thing my neighbour had to say is "he uses the Kanna (planer) like a Gaijin, but everything else is perfect.

try using story sticks. u can use superglue and masking tape or double-sided tape or even clamps to stick em down and use em to make ur cuts. then remove it so u can chisel the half laps and save the story stick for the next time u make em. great for production style work. either way beautiful work :)

Oooh Adrian, I have looked forward to your next video, and I must say, you did not disappoint! I love that you used the Kumiko pattern from the other video! In all honesty, you are the one KZfaqr that continually amazes me and never produce other than magnificent videos! Have you considered maybe making larger projects? Or is your workspace too small for that? I'd love to see you make something big, like a door in the same style as you've always made! PS. loved the soundtrack for this one! Very soothing.

@AdrianPreda 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! Indeed, those asanoha's where from one year ago when I made the kumiko video, were already 50% done :) I can do bigger projects, like some home furniture, a bit difficult in a 3x2m space, by making piece by piece then assemble on site, or head out outside to sand or finish them. I will probably do some for me in the near future. Maybe 1-2 more videos now, then by the end of the summer I will have a vid making a small solar kiln outside :) That will be more of construction wood, osb and miter saw stuff :) Thanks for your comment!

Check the fine-tools.com in Germany, they have a lot of tools to choose from. For the plane, start with a cheap one, like that I made a clip tuning it. They can be frustrating when using for the first time, so better to learn with a cheapo one, but they are very good as well even those

@AdrianPreda 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you! That is rice glue, used specially for shoji paper. You can use also PVA glue (white one better) as well, but just be careful not to squeeze it out on the wood or the visible paper as it will stain it. When I made the mini lamps I used PVA but they were very small and I spread first the glue on a paper towel then place the panel on it for a second to grab the glue consistent all over.
