Wouldn’t call it a failure, I would call it learning curve achievement. Next time u choose to do this pattern u will know what u need to do to make it look perfect. Regardless, I think it’s a pretty cool cutting board.

One of those where only the maker sees the mistakes! Looks good, nice one. Hate to be the comment guy, but aren't gloves (cut proof or not) a no no for fast spinny machines?
@interlocking-joinery2 ай бұрын
Yes, I am somewhat perfectionist, and other people I showed it too don’t see the imperfections! Gloves are more likely to snag on machinery than your skin, and your hand can then be pulled into the machine, so wearing gloves is not recommended. I like to wear gloves for some tasks, and I don’t always bother to take them off when using a machine, but I should..

Very impressive! As you said, that’s a very intricate pattern to get absolutely perfect. Many, many cuts, and with the slightest variation in angle or length is going to show. But even with all that, I think it came out extremely well. I’m sure it was definitely a learning experience and a second one would come out even better. I admire your patience and persistence!

Thanks Bob. I’m not sure if I want to do it again, but you never know, maybe it’s like having children 😄

Very ambitious. And watching your technique I think I would have had to use repeatable accurate methods of cutting each component and not put it on the dish sander, which would result in all of the components being less than exact. Once you develop a method to cut the individual pieces repeatedly, then it’s just a matter of cutting those pieces so that they fit together. The sanding of the individual pieces can’t be regulated to produce repeatable accuracy. I did love your attitude, though in that the end result was still stunning. You have definitely inspired me to attemptthis pattern as well.

I takes me hat off to you for that cutting board, nothing short of brilliant, I have the time but not the patience to create a board so good. I make lots of end grain boards, but i let them design themselves, depending on what wood i have available. The people i give them too all seem pleased.

I think the point of the more overly built systems is that they will last for a long time and hold true and flaten perfectly. That setup while it is a great idea and super useful will most definitely give you the same results ..... for a couple times anyway. Then after that there is no way that system will be perfectly level when you have so many variables with how it is constructed. I believe quick and dirty would be the term. Crude but useful setup. Use it and throw it out after a project or 2 . Still a good Idea but not spending any money on it doesn't really matter when you will have to build a new one every few boards you build.

All good points. In my case I only need to flatten something once every few years, so the no cost solution was perfect.

I would have expected the wedge side of mortice to be a little wider giving room for the wedges to expand that side of the tenon wider than the other side of the mortice. If you ever see a wedge in axe head, the opening for the handle in axe head is hourglass shaped to get that effect.
@interlocking-joinery Жыл бұрын
In carpentry we usually make the sides or the mortice parallel. The wedges compress the wood and make the tenon a very tight fit. Bear in mind that the tenon would need to be tapped into the mortice even before the wedges are added. I can see how making the mortice flare out, and using thicker wedges would make the joint more secure. Maybe we don't do it like this on furniture for aesthetic reasons.

@interlocking-joinery Жыл бұрын
Hi Jim, thanks for watching, I am so happy that you liked my work. I made those jigs without any prior planning or drawing, just found some wood and started cutting. This was my first try at Kumiko, and I think it could have gone better, so I am planning another (more ambitious) Kumiko project. I can see ways to improve the jigs, and will make new ones for the next project. Since you asked, I will shoot a video of making the new improved jigs, and include some drawings and dimensions so that you can make a set for yourself.

The book that got me started in Chinese joinery is called "Chinese Domestic Furniture in Photographs and Measured Drawings" by Gustav Ecke. This is an inexpensive version of a rare book that contains original photographs of Chinese furniture. The original author photographed ancient Chinese furniture then dismantled it, took measurements and made drawings of the joinery. The furniture I have made is my own design, but using the same principals and the same traditional joints.
