The world's biggest Kumiko panel? Japanese Woodworking and Carpentry

Рет қаралды 49,117

Күн бұрын

In this video I have a little fun and make a giant Kumiko panel. Kumiko is a beautiful style of Japanese woodworking or carpentry which is normally done on a very small scale. In this video I use 2x4s to make a 6 foot by 6 foot piece to hang on the wall of my shop. To keep this project simple and fast I use a miter saw to cut all the angles.

After watching your Kumiko "How-To" video, I purchased a Lie-Nielsen low angle block plane, and am now in the middle of my first Kumiko build. I have Successfully built my planing jig and lattice. I'm hoping to finish the angle jigs in the next day. Thank you for the inspiration. It's very likely I would not have done this if not for your video(s).
