![[DIY] Making a Kumiko Art Panel - Full Build Video / 組子細工の巨大アートを作る](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nk6iuZ_W4ew/mqdefault.jpg)
Awesome! Very similar to the way that I do it! I have been thinking of a very cool way to do the half laps on the router table. The reason I really have been giving it a thought is because of the varying width of bits that you can buy. With the table saw method you are pretty much stuck with the width of the table saw blade. They don't really make a 1/2 table saw blade. That would be pretty ridiculous lol. So my thought is... you could put a bit in the router table that is whatever width you really want, and you could cut the lap joints 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", or 1". This is just something that I have been thinking, and I have no idea if it would work, but if I was doing a huge panel for a door or something I think the 1/8 kumiko would look a little too small. It would be nice to have a similar method, but with the router table. Maybe this is overthinking x)
That's a good idea. I haven't thought of using the router table that way. It would be possible to cut bigger half laps on the table saw if you use a dado blade. I don't think you can go all the up to an inch but probably 7/8"
Greetings dear friend,
Kumiko's art is beautiful, wonderful therapy. I'm thinking about starting to learn this Japanese technique.
But I have seen that some people confuse two similar patterns with each other. In this case the pattern “Asanoha” and “Kakuasa”. They both use the same technique as they are very similar
The one shown in the video is actually the "Kakuasa" pattern. The "Asanoha" pattern is the same, however the wooden strips are placed diagonally and one vertically, passing through the intersection points of the diagonals.
Exemple: In the video at 0:36 the grid is assembled with 3 strips vertically and 3 strips horizontally. Then we have 4 strips cut diagonally (step 2 at 2:25). And finally the other pieces to complete the pattern (step 3 Diamonds and step 4 short diagonals).
The "Asanoha" pattern uses a different intersection for the grid.
Exemple: 3 strips diagonally from left to right (going down), 3 strips from right to left (going down). Then we have 3 vertical strips (right side, center and left side). This the base, then make cuts in wooden strips to assemble the diamond with its angles.
So angle cuts are more "boring" to do. They are very similar in design, but the cut and assembly shapes are slightly different from the "Kakuasa" pattern.
And thank you for sharing with us, your videos add a lot of value to us viewers.
A big hug with lots of peace, health, successes, achievements and blessings to you, family, friends and viewers
Sorry my English please
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
You are correct. This video was made several years ago when I didn't the difference. The pattern in this video is called kaku-asanoha. Kaku means square and asanoha means hemp leaf. So that makes this the square version on the hemp leaf pattern. I have another video showing how to make the asanoha pattern as well which is made in a hexagonal grid rather than a square one like in this video
@@JTWoodworks no problems, buddy, the concept is the same and sometimes causes style confusion.
I watch your videos even though I don't understand much in English (I understand more texts and I have to practice listening), I have learned from your videos.
Unfortunately, the costs of machinery here in Brazil are unrealistic for the average monthly earnings.
I'm researching more about this Japanese art, I think it's beautiful and I really admire both Japanese artisans and professionals who learn this Kumiko technique
Hugs
Thanks. That really helped. I’m eager to make my first piece.
This is such a beautiful thing! Thank you for showing the detailed process in such a clear way. One of these days, maybe...
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's much simpler than you might think
that is the most helpful video on kumiko making I have seen. gret job
Thank you! I glad it helped you out
That is beautiful, and you do a fantastic job of making it very accessible. I want to try it now!
Give it a shot man!! I'd love to see you do this
Great stuff I bought the sled plans and I am working my way toward building it. Slowly as i get my shop straightened out. New shop and is 1/3 of the last shop in size and have been doing a bit or according to my wife alot of whining about fitting everything in it. After seeing your shop I am done complaining. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Matt! I appreciate it and good luck with the build. Your shop should be an inspiring space and because it's smaller, that forces creativity and opens the doors to do things differently
Great project and video! looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!!
Cool breakdown of this design!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Well explained, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
This is beautiful
Thanks so much!! I have more project videos featuring kumiko if you're interested
Great work man! The graphics were a nice touch. Keep it up!!!
Thanks bud!! I'll be adding them in upcoming videos too
Excellent video!...clear, concise and doable!...starting on a 3 panel shoji door set with 3 ranma panels above...will be ordering the kumiko jig set...thank you.
That sounds like a cool project. I wish you luck with the build and I'm glad you found this video helpful. Thanks for the order!
@@JTWoodworks Your video gave me the Motivation to proceed!
That's great to hear! Feel free to reach out with questions. I'm happy to help
😃😃😃
This video is very well presented. The instructions are very clear. As to the gluing, would it be acceptable to just use a drop of thin CA glue at each joint?
Thanks! CA glue should be fine as long as it's thick. That way it won't soak into the wood too much and risk having visible glue spots
Is there an advantage using a chisel to cut angle bevels verses a block plane?
Both methods work just fine. It's a personal preference. I feel a chisel gives you more control and there's less of a chance of accidentally digging into your jigs
In this video you say to use the 22.5 degree jig to cut 2/3 off the diamond pieces, but it looks like you’re using the 67.5 degree jig to do that. Am I wrong? Which one should I use?
You're correct. I accidentally called those two jigs by the wrong angles. The 22.5° is actually 67.5° and the 67.5° is actually 22.5°
Beautiful work. What angle is your chisel ground to? If different from 30 degrees, is there an advantage?
I've always done 25 degrees for no reason other than that's how they came out of the box. It seems to work fine for me so I don't change it
@@JTWoodworks Thank you so much for your thoughts!
I'm a little confused, perhaps you can set me straight. I'm going to attempt my first kumiko piece. In your video concerning the diamond pieces you say the 67.5 degree angle fits in the corner and the 22.5 at the hinge. In other videos it seems they use the opposite angles. Thank you for the informative video with a good approach.
I accidentally say it backwards in this video
