I have done Kumiko for years. This sled is the way. You can layout your frame cuts with the stops. I tape multiples of 8 strips together (on one side) and cut several stacks at the same time. I bolt this type of jig to a very small sled. The sled is wide, but not deep.
When I make more of these lamps, I'm going to modify my workflow to be more efficient. I really like the idea of taping strips together and cutting them. - Ed
this is a good tutorial..I've wanting to dive into this to but had a drawback because of the complicated looking jigs! ...but you made them look retevlly easy to make ...thank you I'll be trying my hand at it too.
A lot of people make these blocks with 2 different angles on them, one on the “top” and one on the “bottom”. The other possibility is that while the groove is being routed, it just makes sense to do both sides so that you have an other side for future use. All you have to do is cut whatever angle you want on it when the time comes!
@@tomt9543thanks for your reply. 7:13 I thought the same thing except the groove on the bottom is half the depth of the groove on the top. Merry Christmas. 💖🌞🌵😷
Very nice to see you take great care of the jigs even finishing.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that occasionally uses my belly for a stop block.
Use what the good Lord blessed you with. ha ha Thank you for watching! - Ed

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, Ed!
Thank you Billy! - Ed
Looking forward the next video 👏👏
Thank you! - Ed
Texas just adrenaline pumped he had no chance at that point
Why do the angled guide blocks have a groove in the bottom? 💖🌞🌵😷

This is a nice video. Unfortunately there are no dimensions. Are they found in the book?
I wish all my 8/4 dressed down to 67mm!
I'm looking forward to seeing you make the panels, Ed. Have you watched Neil Paskin (Pask Makes) do Kumiko?

Thank you Bill! Yes I've seen a few of his videos! He's great! - Ed
Anybody know the make/source of the adjustable hold down things at 6:00 minutes.
They’re made by Bessey. Lee Valley Tools sells them in several different configurations
Dude, don't you ever use clamps? They're legal to use in every state, I believe.
