You never cease to amaze me, buddy. One minute you're making something the size of a large wall, and the next you making something as delicate as Kumiko.
Mike, a rare and well-deserved honor to grace the pages of Fine Woodworking. Like you, I've been a subscriber for many years, and credit the publishers for a steady improvement in my skills. Best wishes on the baby. Regards, Dave
Thank you very much Dave, hope you're doing well. I credit Fine Woodworking for much of my progress as a woodworker. For example, I would have never heard about kumiko were it not for Fine Woodworking.
That's fantastic being a feature in FWW! Next stop your own show on PBS. With your awesome detail of instruction and added humor it would be an excellent program.
Beside the fact you’re a phenomenal woodworker, you’re definitely one of the best narrators in the business too. Extremely easy to listen to and very articulate. Keep up the great work, Mike.
@@MikeFarrington and if you ever get down and start to think you are not influencing people, just know that yesterday, I said, outloud, in my best Mike Farrington voice "will make quick work of trimming........." it was pretty funny
I am fascinated by these beautiful patterns but I am even more fascinated by your way of showing how to make them. Your calm way of explaining and the pictures you chose to show are captivating. Thank you for sharing this video!
@@jimw544 Thank you Jim. There was a little in the article about the jigs, mostly just dimensions, but yes, I have more on my channel. Give it a shot, I think you'll like it.
Paint a "portal mural" in your shop that I may roller skate into and find you working. Amazing work as always Mike. Something about your music choice, commentary and 80s trivia adds to the quirky nature of your show!
I am making a run to sherwin williams in the morning for more ceiling paint. I will ask if they sell portal paint at that location or if I need to head over to their commercial coatings store for that. To describe my channel as quirky is, in my opinion a high compliment. Thank you.
Several quick points; A. Congrats on your soon-to-be new vice shop assistant B. More congrats on getting published C. Your skill is unreal. The patience required for those tiny pieces with intricate angles... D. I’ve found myself listening to PF’s Animals album multiple times lately. Their best stuff!
As soon as you said Pink Floyd, division bell popped into my head. By far one of my most favorite when it comes to the perfect background music to anything that requires cool attention to detail if that makes sense. Very nice project Mike and congratulations on the article and the new addition to the family.
Out of everyone on RUclips, I look forward to your videos the most! I learn something new every time I watch them. You truly are inspirational and your content and deliver is second to none. Keep up the great work!
This by far is one of the best, and most intricate woodworking videos I've seen. It would be an exercise in patience for sure. Btw, showing clips of you and your son was great. Thats something else that the world needs to exercise more of :)
I grew up watching Norm on New Yankee Workshop but Mike has the feelgood factor whatever he doe's, i always look forward to a new video from him, keep them coming , from a big fan over the pond.
Wow, it's a joy watching your Kumiko work, Mike. To me, Kumiko has this meditational feel to it. I don't mind the repetitive aspects of it, it serves to keeping me on my toes, this being fiddly work requiring a high degree of accuracy. Love your channel, keep it up and rock on.
I need a Kumiko panel like this made as a coffee table with legs and glass on top. Would be epic. Unfortunately carpenters in my country don't even come close to this level of craftmanship.
Hey Mike. Found this video after stumbling across a picture of a kumiko lantern which I fell in love with. Didnt even know this genre of wood working existed... Anyways, I made a sled and followed your method and I now have four 36" x 16" panels made up that fit without a hitch. Haven't started the infill yet, but am excited to learn that as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
That is really neat to hear. I put out the video and article, I know a few people watch and read, but I wonder how many apply the method. I'm so happy to hear it has worked for you. I would really like to see what you come up with. If you can email me via my website.
@@MikeFarrington I have a busy few weeks at work, and so the project is going to languish here for a bit. I will definitely send you an email once I get some of the infill started. Again, thanks for the video and talk to you soon.
Just got my FW in Saturday's mail. Well done. Nice article. Really great seeing you spending time with your son. Those are days you will never get back, revel in them.
Thanks for learning, thinking and sharing. I hope others find inspiration not just from the creativity in your videos, but also from the simple act of learning and sharing that you continuously pursue. Happy to hear you're bringing more awesome people into the world!
Congrats on the new kiddo! And the FWW article. I looked behind you in the new room and thought you tore down all that beautiful wainscot work from the dining room. Then I came to my senses and realized its just the same window in another part of the house... yes I am that smart today.
I know i always say it - but your work on this is incredible - beautiful work - so satisfying when you dropped the freshly papered panel into the frames!! thanks for sharing Mike!
After seeing the kumiko lamp video in my recommendations for a few weeks I finally watched it just this morning, so good timing putting this out today!
I thought I had patience , but this takes it to a whole new level.........also going to dig out my copy of Division Bell haven't listened to it for years. Thanks for the video.
This was the best and most informative video on Kumiko I have ever seen! You explain your process so very clearly and it is very pleasing to watch you coming along with your work! Please keep on making such great videos so that more people understand the beauty, but also the complexity and difficulty of fine woodworking! Looking forward to new videos from you !
Congratulations on the article and more importantly congratulations on the new addition. Good luck with everything! Love your work and love your videos.
I like how Kumiko looks at the center of the intersection. It creates those shining like circles of wood. It is a fantastic illusion that is possible only with the perfection you showed. Congrats on the FW article. I heard in the podcast about you. Best regards from Croatia
Literally thought of you today as "I haven't seen anything from Mike lately." So happy that is no longer the case. I hope to try Kumiko one day. Great build, congrats on the article.
Really really appreciate that and I’ll learn into some comical with a Japanese master but those guys they do everything like old school but the way you did it completely really easy. We can make chemical in couple hours. Really appreciate it for you share that with us. Thank you.
Got this months FW issue and was so jazzed to see your article! Love your simple clean precise approach to woodworking. It’s all in the details. Can’t wait to see the nursery! Congrats Mike.
LOL you are a brave soul putting that piece through the sander. Not a pro tip but my tip, I use a piece of MDF with a thin fence for doing small pieces through my Jet 16-32. I do small cut out pieces for my wife's painting projects that have irregular shapes like pins and such. Makes her happy when she doesn't have to sand them by hand. The last project I did was a 12X18 tray (for lack of a better term) of heart pins about 3.4" in diameter. One might think the machine would spit them out but not so, at least not on my smaller drum sander. I keep a large and small tray near the sander. Now that I've seen your jig for the plane thicknesser I'll have to get one made for myself. I had to laugh on one video when you said you spend a lot of time feeding wood through the planer. I know that feeling. I have to ask since it's been a year. Did you find a buyer or do you have some new lamps in your house.
Thank you. The sander is pretty gentle on parts, so I had some concern but I wouldn't have done it had I thought it was a 50/50 shot. I ended up selling one of the lamps, and keeping the other. I have a few in the house that I have made over the years, I'm not sure what I want to do with them.
You know Mike, 90% of what you covered in this awesome video was so over my head it wasn't even funny. You're such a superb craftsman I'd watch you place old treasured magazines atop a 4' A frame ladder. I too, get jazzed when a new video of yours is launched if not only to see precious clips of you and the shop apprentice as well as your music suggestions. Roger Waters' politics notwithstanding, Pink Floyd is always a quality choice (I'm a huge fan of Mr. Gilmour). Finally, my quest to locate the true location of Xanadu is ever nearing thanks to you....From my family to yours, prayers and well wishes over the birth of your next child.
Thank you very much David. I'm with ya on Roger, certainly a musical genius though. I am also a huge fan of David Gilmour. He has a great voice, and can play the guitar like no one else.
Nice video. I'm doing a simple Kumiko project now. Going better than one would have expected. :-) Precice jigs really do help! Thanks for the ideas of where to go next.
Mike, I found this video amazing. The patience involved is evident and the outcome is beautiful! I really like the detail you added to explain the process. I am not ready to tackle something like this but definitely something in my future. Thanks for posting your video
Thanks for the video Mike!! Glad to finally see a table saw sled that shows how to make the hexagonal kumiko. Super cool that this made it into fine woodworking, Congrats!!!
Hi Mike, just found this channel fairly recently. Your work is exquisite. I love the idea of the thickness jig. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching.
Just awesome! I look forward to reading your article as I just subscribed to Fine Woodworking a couple of weeks ago. I am not surprised that they would want your to write an article, you are so knowledgable as well as skilled. Thank you so much for sharing! Oh and congratulations on the soon to be new addition to the family!!
Beautiful. This video makes me think. . . I work in Industrial automation where robots and machines are the builders. Given this perspective, I'm fascinated with things hand-made. Especially with processes that are BETTER suited for a human hand, than a machine's. It's possible a machine could be built to assemble Kumiko but economies of scale wouldn't allow it. There is an intrinsic currency embedded in things like this, especially when the things have beauty. It exists because shortcuts don't. (Besides a super-secret table saw sled) Anyways awesome video and congrats on the FWW article!
Well, now i have another project added to my growing list of things i want to try. All that while i'm sitting here dragging my feet on a kitchen table project. It's been sitting in my garage for two months after warping slightly. Amazing how somewhat small problems completely derail my projects. I'm lucky that my wife doesn't throw a fit about the cars being in the driveway. CO hasn't gotten all that much snow this year, so i guess that's why she's being more understanding. Anyway - love your videos. Great work.
This right here. This is what separates professionals from hobbyists. You must be the most patient father ever.
Thank you. I consider myself patient, but I have my moments.
You never cease to amaze me, buddy. One minute you're making something the size of a large wall, and the next you making something as delicate as Kumiko.
Thank you very much.

Congratulations on joining the ranks of Fine Woodworking authors. I
Thank you very much.
Congrats on being featured in FWW Mike, and congrats to you and the wife on baby #2. Can't wait to see what you do with that room.
Thank you and thank you. I am almost done with the nursery remodel. I will have the video out soon.
The peak of a 4ft a frame ladder is an appropriate place of honour for any great work of literature
Totally, I normally keep my copies of the Iliad and the Odyssey on top of that very ladder.
Beside the fact you’re a phenomenal woodworker, you’re definitely one of the best narrators in the business too. Extremely easy to listen to and very articulate.
Keep up the great work, Mike.
Thank you. Thank is very kind to say, I'm happy to hear that my message is understandable.
Your honesty and sense of humor make every video highly enjoyable!
Thank you. Honesty is one of the core goals of each video I make, I'm happy to hear that shows through.
I had no idea you were a famous contributor to fine woodworking magazine, congrats, that is so awesome!!! Much respect!!

Several quick points;
A. Congrats on your soon-to-be new vice shop assistant
B. More congrats on getting published
C. Your skill is unreal. The patience required for those tiny pieces with intricate angles...
D. I’ve found myself listening to PF’s Animals album multiple times lately. Their best stuff!
Thank you very much. Animals is great, no question.
A great FW article and wonderful supporting video. Now if I can withstand the cold in my shop I will start creating!
Thank you very much. My shop was 8 degrees yesterday morning.

Beautiful craftsmanship and a playlist pairing. nice.

Mike, once again a great video. Couldn't agree more with the choice of music.
Thank you Scott.
Awesome project. I have just finished making a bunch of jigs, now I need to make an angled sled
Thank you. Give the sled a go, its not to tuff to build.
Congratulations on the article and more importantly congratulations on the new addition. Good luck with everything! Love your work and love your videos.
Thank you very much.
I like your style with the voice-over.
Thank you.
I have a feeling I'll use some of these techniques in projects that are completely different than what you built. The fixtures you used are top shelf.
Thank you Greg. Happy to hear you found a few useful tips.
Thanks for the shout out, Mike. And great work, too! I'm sure you'll inspire folks to try this.
Wow, is this THE Tom McKenna? Thank you sir.
Fantastic video as usual. All the best for the new kid
Thank you. We are rapidly closing in on the due date.
Mike, CONGRATS on the article AND your love of Kumiko continues to express!
Thank you Mike.

Great job Mike. Congrats on FWW, that's awesome. You deserve it, your work and craftsmanship are very inspiring.
