In this two-part video, I make an andon lantern with the mie-bishi tsunagi pattern.
Part 1 finishes with the completed mie-bishi tsunagi panels
Part 2 covers the lantern frame, and fitting the kumiko panels.
This pattern features the yotsu-kude four-way joint, and the process for making this joint is covered in detail in Book 4 Diamond Patterns.

I recently became aware of the art of kumiko design and find it fascinating. Des King's videos have been very helpful. I have now completed 5 projects, with increasing complexity. Still a beginner, but getting better with each project. Thank you, Des.

This is gonna be one hell of a lantern! Strange how, when i saw the pattern it seemed easy. It fooled me :) Also i would love to hear your story. Your journey on learning kumiko. Maybe talk about your most/least favorite patterns? Easies and hardest to do? A tour of the shop? :) Anyways, just some ideas you may find fun. Can`t wait for the next one! Thank you again for sharing this awesome art with the world!

I made an asa-no-ha lantern very similar to this one. It turned out wonderful but man it was a lot of work. Making one panel was a challenge let alone 4 of them. One thing that I didn’t account for was tight fitting internal pieces. If they are too tight they can push and distort (bow) the outer framing.

I can't figure out at what angle the little pieces of the puzzle are assembled and how deep the groove is. Thanks for the reply ...

Thank you for your informative videos, they are a great help to us. Now do you have a video/book how to make the Shippou pattern please? Thanks

@kskdesign1 4 жыл бұрын

Book 4 covers one simple shippou pattern that doesn't require any special tools. The shippou patterns require special kanna that are expensive and not readily available, so I haven't covered them in any of the books.

Impressive as always Des. I was looking forward to getting book 4, but now I'm bit scared for what I'm in for. Curious, do you have a recommendation on where to get a good Wari-kebiki. Thanks

@kskdesign1 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Shane. Some of the patterns in Book 4 can be a bit tricky, so I'd suggest going through a few of the others in the other books first (keeps the level of frustration down a bit). I got my smaller wari-kebiki in Japan, and the larger one from the online store Japanwoodworker, but that store only seems to have the kebiki (which is slightly different) at the moment. The kebiki will work, but it's not as efficient for this as the wari-kebiki. I did a search, and couldn't find anything, so it could be a good reason for a trip to Japan for you ;-)

@@kskdesign1 cheers Des. Trip to Japan is definitely on the cards. I guess I'll have to make one until then. I also done a search for the Ha-ganna planes, WOW!. I guess there is going to plenty of practice cutting those small parts to correct size in my future.

Great piece. Where do you get the glue applicators from?

@kskdesign1 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I bought the applicators years ago and I can't remember where. Possibly Lee Valley or Rockler. This particular type doesn't seem to be available at those stores anymore. If you do a search for glue paddles, something might come up.

I’m curious, I wonder if a router table could be used (with a jig of course) to cut the Kumiko . What are your thoughts?

@kskdesign1 4 жыл бұрын

The Router Boss or Woodrat would work to a degree because the router is on top of the kumiko and it would be slightly easier to line the bit with the marks. Personally, I think a normal router table with the router underneath would be quite difficult to manage, but I've never tried. A normal router bit would probably tend to give a poor cut and put a lot of stress on the kumiko, whereas a spiral bit would apply less stress and give a cleaner cut. Similar to the table saw, though, you're limited to the sizes of the router bits, so very fine work of less than, say ⅛ inch or 3.2mm, would be impossible. But again, I've never tried, so it could work.

kskdesign i am going to try with hand tools once I get a fine toothed crosscut saw.
