This is the second and final part of my video giving step-by-step instructions on making a framed square asa-no-ha piece. Part 2 starts from preparing the tsukeko and ends with the completed piece.
Part 1 • Shoji and kumiko patte...

The saw I use in the video, and the one I strongly recommend for all kumiko work is the Nakaya EAKS D210C crosscut dozuki saw.

Finally a new video! I must tell you, your videos are amazing. Very clear, simple instructions presented in a nice and calm manner. A pleasure to watch and loaded with very useful information. I`ve been making asa no ha for a while now and it was frustrating until i saw your coaster video. Really made things clear and simple in my head. More accurate too! My plan is to buy all your kumiko books and have years of fun with this incredible art. These videos complement the books perfectly. I hope to see more videos from you Des, maybe some other patterns? Maybe something from the square family? Everyone on the internet knows only one kind. Basic asa no ha. Lots of people think that asa no ha IS kumiko. Just that. They don`t know of how many kinds there are. This included me untill i saw your books and your site. In any case. Thank you so much for these amazing videos and books.

I've been investing a lot of time into figuring out how to do kumiko with all power tools, but I think I might jump back into doing it by hand here and there. These videos are excellent! Do you plan on uploading a video series on how you do the hexagonal pattern?

@kskdesign1 5 жыл бұрын

Cutting everything by hand gives a lot more flexibility in kumiko thickness than the power tools. By using the table saw, you're limited to the kerf of the blade. You don't have any of those limitations by hand. The main kumiko here were 4mm, but with adjustment to pitch to keep a good balance, I could have easily made them 3.5mm, or 4.5mm, or any other thickness. It's not as easy to do that with power tools. And over time, the hand cutting sequence becomes very quick. I'm hoping to find the time soon to put up a few videos on an intermediate pattern I teach, which is one of the hexagonal patterns. That piece is up on my Instagram page. After that, possibly some of the more advanced patterns could be interesting.

Thank you, Des! It is helpful to see you do things, even after reading the book. I noticed that some other people have added a feature to their kumiko trimming jigs. They have a sliding length adjuster in the middle that they can lock with wing nuts after they have trimmed the first piece to length. I notice you don't use those. Is there a reason you prefer your method?

Cheers Graig. I use a stop block for some pieces where there's a bit of latitude in accuracy, but when the difference between a firm fit and something that's too loose is a single shaving, I find it much quicker without that stop block . Otherwise I'd be forever adjusting it backwards and forwards. From a trial fit, I can generally judge how many more shavings are required to get a firm fit with the right amount of tension. But ultimately, it's personal preference. What works for me may not be the most efficient for others.

Great and very informative videos, thank you! What is the western block plane you are using, please?

@lumay333 3 жыл бұрын

I read through your Book 1 but I could not find details of the western plane (it is on photograph 38) I think the western plane will be easier for me to set up (to finish small kumiko motiff pieces). To be honest as a complete beginner I am a bit terrified of purchasing and using the japanese planes. However the western block planes I find often too heavy for my wrist. Any advice would be much appreciated.

My congratulations ok the video, the way you explains and shows the way you works is excellent. I do not understand, is it not supposed tha in the works of kumiko no type of fixation is used, without logs or nails? Why did you nail It? Greetings from Buenos Aires.

@kskdesign1 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much Adrian. There's nothing wrong with using nails, as I did here. They are a tool, the same as any other kind of tool. My outstanding shoji instructor at the college where I studied in Japan was a second generation shoji maker, and he always used nails in the inner frames. The nails are quick, clean, and they are eventually hidden, so there's no reason not to use them.

I have now viewed most of your kumico videos. I just found this work recently. I am a segmented bowl turner and find this fascinating. I must say that your videos are not only informative and educational but also entertaining. They are well produced and omit all the weird and annoying music. They clearly show the correct amount of detail. Your commentary is clear and to the point without any rambling. I think I am ready to give this a try. I am a bit intimidated by the small size of some of the pieces. Is there any problem with scaling these patterns up a bit?

@kskdesign1 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words Glen. All of the patterns on KZfaq and in my books can be scaled up or down according to the preferred design. If you're going to change the dimensions, I'd suggest getting hold of a simple and inexpensive 2D CAD application and draw up the pattern to your desired dimensions on your computer. This way, you'll have a better idea of exactly where the joints have to be cut, and the general lengths of the individual pattern pieces. Cheers, Des

Hi Des, i have your first book and its amazing. I have attempted just 3 kumiko pieces thus far (all asa-no-ha). I hope you add more soon. I know you're down the coast (im in Brisbane). What timber do you use ? I've been using pine which is somewhat difficult and razor sgarp tools are a must. Most US naker sz seem to use basswood but we dont have ut in Aus. Any species you can recommend? Look fwd to the next video ...and one day a workshop with you 👍. Cheers Scott

Thanks Scott. I now mainly use hoop pine. To me, it seems to be the most consistent and stable of all the timbers I've tried here. Cheers, Des
