Crafting a Small asa-no-ha Kumiko Panel

In this video I show you how I create a 285x127mm in size. The Kumiko panel is cut with hand tools. The Frame is done with the help of a router mounted into a router table. The Frame is made out of walnut. The back panel of the asa-no-ha Kumiko panel consists of a 3mm plywood sheet where I glued some green fabric in. Since the panel is not glued into the frame, the back panel can be replaced with some other colored fabrics easily.

I would be interested to know what that blade guide you were using on that chop box. Is it roller bearings of some kind ? does it damage the teeth of the blade at all ? anythging you could tell me would be apreciated

Hi, the blade guide is provided/a product from Veritas. There are no bearings. To prevent the teeth of the blade cutting in the plastic, you need to move your blade into it from the side rather using it from the top to the material you want to cut. The are for instance available here: www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/jigs-guides-and-fixtures/76038-veritas-miter-box-guides?item=05N7601 Does that help?
