The focus and skill required to make FOUR superb joints like this is god-like! The tools, the sharpening, the materials ... it is the equivalent of climbing Everest, naked!
It's a treasure of carpentry knowledge. The skills of human tradition history still works in a peace of mind. Thanks sir, all your hard work that coming from the soul are very inspiring.
The most impressive part of this joinery is the manual forming and shaping, the attention to detail is pure old world and absolutely stunning. Wonderful work.
Fantastic !!! Are you sure you were born right here on earth? I watched every episode of the saga, some more than once, and I never get tired. Too bad the day only has 24 hours, not enough for the size of the fun in this saga.
@@DorianBracht just found your channel here yesterday, but been binge-watching the video's for hours already... Like Joel says it's very relaxing to watch your work... very welcome these days of being alone and stuck at home.
This has got to be one of the sexiest corner leg joints I have seen yet. Thank you Dorian - I have been following you for years - your work helped draw me into this fine art. Thank you for all the fine hours of impressive work you have done. Seriously!
This video is brilliant I love the new angles and the complexity is crazy. It's almost like watching a murder mystery as you slowly unveil all the clues but it's not untill the finale that you suddenly get how it works and it all comes together (quite literally). Excellent work as always although I do miss the music in the background. Keep up the good work
Good to see you back posting your awesome videos. My skill level is a slack half lap joint! Others here suggest this is the best you have done and I agree with that sentiment. I also enjoyed the new music, well up to the 17 min mark anyway!! Bob
Now it’s clear why there hasn’t been a video for so long. If I had ever done this, I would have ruined a couple of thousand blanks and several months of work.
I love how the sexy time music kicks in just as the joint is coming together, haha. This is just insane craftsmanship. I can't imagine the amount of time and care that would go into something like this.
@@bmilhoan I actually have antique pieces my parents got when they lived in China during the late 80s early 90s. Many of the pieces came from the later 19th century and during the Cultural revolution were confiscated and hidden away since they were seen as bourgeois. During the Reform of the 80s and 90s many of the pieces were taken out of warehouses, fixed up and sold in markets, particularly the ghost market in Beijing where my mom was getting these pieces for dirt cheap. The joints are super sturdy and are able to hold up atmospheric changes over time requiring no glue (although it doesn't hurt them). These pieces certainly have the ability of have a longer life compared to many of the pieces that my great grandpa made because they don't rely on glue or nails to be held together (other than the dovetail drawers that could also be found in Chinese furniture drawers as well). Also much of the wood they would use was from nice hard "exotic" woods that also resists movement and splitting due to atmospheric changes. The joint shown above take extraordinary craftsmanship for a full furniture piece. I am very lucky to have the pieces I own and prize them above anything I own because looking at them I can see the dedication that went into them. One of my goals is to eventually make my own pieces using these techniques because if this is not the pinnacle of carpentry mastery and making long lasting pieces it is very close to the top.
@@bmilhoan Until the 1980s, when Chinese ordinary families got married, they still asked a single carpenter to make a complete set of furniture by hand according to the traditional mortise and tenon method. I come from a small city, and my grandfather will plant trees in the yard for my mother that you need to make furniture in the future.
11:22 leaving waste to support the shoulder cleanup. How far ahead to you plan the operations in these joints? I stress over stuff like this for weeks at a time.
Dorian, I think that the saddest thing about what I've just looked at is that there's probably 1% of people alive other than crafts men like myself who will truely appreciate the level of sophistication of your joinary. I promise one of these days I will order a piece from you.
The end result here is awesome. Really well done man. I try to keep my skills sharp by experimenting with new (to me) joints. My own "joint venture" if you like. Reassuring that you too seem to go through a couple of test/trial pieces on the more complicated joints! Inspiring stuff as always Dorian.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalter, wie du es einfach immer wieder übertreibst........ Ich zolle dir meine höchsten respekt! Bin selber Schreiner und Handwerklich gewiss nicht ungeschickt, aber was du immer wieder ablieferst ist schon wahnsinn! Floge dir seit bestimmt anderthalb jahren, junge du hast richtig was drauf! Werkzeug by Dick?
@@DorianBracht Wish you had an outlet for the tools you use here in the US. Do not like buying anything from Amazon either.... I enjoy watching this. Most of my experience is with the wood lathe.
Great work! Love all the joints made by different people around on youtube. However, I would like to see these joints put into real projects - put them into context, so to speak.
Great work, and There is an app called “wood joints” which will show you the 3D structure in a traditional mortise and tenon joint. Lots of these furniture lasts couple hundred years thanks to its not glued together and can be fixed by replacing part of the structure.

What a piece. Thanks to you, my little boy wants to become a "Wooden corner maker". He loves the sound of scissors, saws and planers. Thank you.
Hahaha, that's awesome! I wholeheartedly support his choice 😂

very welcome these days of being alone and stuck at home.
You're insane. Each piece perfectly matched. Insane.
It would take me some time to understand this.
Thanks for the video!
Obsessive-compulsive, hyperactivity disorder is my guess.
Thank you!
14:01 when those edges melted together! It was like watching ballet. Graceful and fluid
This has got to be one of the sexiest corner leg joints I have seen yet. Thank you Dorian - I have been following you for years - your work helped draw me into this fine art. Thank you for all the fine hours of impressive work you have done. Seriously!
No words to describe how good this joint is. Admire your patience and attention to detail. 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Is it that...which we called beauty in woodworking... Really appreciate your hard work and precision 🙏
Thank you!
The precision of those saw cuts is unbelievable!
I think that's your best yet. Phenomenal. Well done. Great showing of the tools too!
Thank you!

That's a cool comparison, thank you!
10:19 really??!! I didn't think that you are making a dovetail groove with chisel!! OMG You're on another level.
Thanks man!!
You make the most complex and precise joints I have seen! Thank you Dorian.
I've seen them all, and this is simply the best. I'm in awe. Well done sir.
Thank you!!
Excellent production values as always, love the scene around 3:10.. the kanna wall!
Thank you Tony!
我是一个中国木匠，你的粽角榫是我见过所有木匠中做得最好的，也是完全按照古老的标准制作的。现在有些榫结构进行了简化，虽然外观上看起来一样，其实里面千差万别。
Thank you very much!
I look at the wall rack full of Kanna behind the bench and have a little moment. The tool envy is immense, but the skills envy is MONUMENTAL. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hahaha, thank you man!
I'm always amazed by the precision of your joints. Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, I always wonder how Chinese joinery is made - and now I can see, but still I hardly believe it is possible. Amazing skills.
Another great video demonstrating very difficult joints. I've made that joint and it's not easy. Thank you for posting.
Thank you! Yes, it's rather hard!
Good to see you back posting your awesome videos. My skill level is a slack half lap joint! Others here suggest this is the best you have done and I agree with that sentiment. I also enjoyed the new music, well up to the 17 min mark anyway!! Bob
Thank you!
This is classic work of art..... Not carpentry.. out of the box ...mindblowing!!!
Thank you!
Have to admit, your joinery is outstanding... Such precision 👍
Thank you!
Your the Best I have ever seen or could even imagine ! You are a genius just to engineer such a joint.
Thank you, but the joint is from Ming dynasty China. I just copied it from a photo.
Absolutely amazing workmanship every time. Thank you very much for your contributions.
Thank you for watching!
Now it’s clear why there hasn’t been a video for so long. If I had ever done this, I would have ruined a couple of thousand blanks and several months of work.
Hahaha, thanks :)
I am stunned. 😳. What a beautiful work. Perfectionist.
Thank you!
I love how the sexy time music kicks in just as the joint is coming together, haha.
This is just insane craftsmanship. I can't imagine the amount of time and care that would go into something like this.
Thanks! I thought I'd try it for a more softcore porn effect 😂
Such a Beautiful and Delicate Work!!! I take my hat off…
That's pure awesome. Joinery like this just blows my mind.
Thank you!
I can't even saw straight. beautifull craftsmanship.
so I guess you are now ready to make Ming Dynasty furniture yes? ;)
Pretty much :) Now someone just has to place an order...
Finally! I've been waiting for this one. But it's much harder to do using long pieces of wood and keeping them square (with the 8 joints).
You have inspired me to start woodworking! I can't wait for my tools to arrive. I have a challenge for you! Make wood hinges!
I’m in the medical field and even the plastic surgeons leave more noticeable marks than your joints!
Oh wow! Thanks!
Hi. Thank you for sharing. Very difficult joint and perfect result. I heve seen you previous videos and this is huge progress. Super. Go on!
Thank you! Will do!
Wow that is a very slick joint, nicely done thanks for showing us.
Thank you!
Great close-ups. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
Thank you!
This is really special for me, I seriously look up to you
Thank you so much!
Absolutely incredible!!!!!
Thank you man!
I am a Chinese person. When I was a child, most of the furniture in my home had such a structure around the corner.
How did they hold up over time?

Could you make a project using the joinery you want to show. I would like to see how the joinery looks in a final project.
This joint is used in Chinese furniture to make tables or stands.
There are more complicated versions of it with sliding dovetails or angled tenons.
You can check out Ming style waisted tables. I can only justify making it if a client orders one or I can sell them a design.
Beautiful work now back to my coloring book
Thank you!
That is art. Legitimately.
Meanwhile other youtubers be like "I'm just going to use pocket screws because they're strong and fast"
Ugh, i hate pocket screws!
Pocket what??
"strong"
They might be fast, low skill and achieved with cheap equipment, but they are not strong.
Simply amazing. I hope to be this skilled some day.
Thank you!
Where do you get these insane joinery ideas they are in another level I watch many of your videos and I’m amazed
Thank you! They are all existing joints from around the world.
11:22 leaving waste to support the shoulder cleanup. How far ahead to you plan the operations in these joints? I stress over stuff like this for weeks at a time.
Thanks! More a spur of the moment thing... I thought it would be more precise this way.
Not exactly at a production level but then again a joint for the ages.
True skill, a joy to watch and learn. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I’d love to see what you use to sharpen your chisels and planes and how frequently you do so
trevor mullin me too. Such a razor sharp chisels
Maybe I'll do a video. But sharpen very often. After every use. Keep them in good condition, then the sharpening is quick!
I have no idea why RUclips recommended this, and I have no clue what you are doing. But I looks awesome!
Glad you enjoy!
Very nicely done joint. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for watching!
Dorian, I think that the saddest thing about what I've just looked at is that there's probably 1% of people alive other than crafts men like myself who will truely appreciate the level of sophistication of your joinary. I promise one of these days I will order a piece from you.

Thank you! I actually encourage anyone persuing the craft to do a joint venture. I definitely learned so much!
Fantastic as usual. Can you do a video on how you sharpen your tools and which stones you use.
Thank you!
Yes, I will do one about sharpening science.
Alors là ! Respect !
Assemblage incroyablement complexe !
Un grand BRAVO !

Beauty tenon.

I am guessing the wood is sugar/hard maple? Looks like it was not easy to cut or chisel.... Nice work!

Eine Frage: soll ich zur Werkbank gehen, es ausprobieren und dann fluchen, oder soll ich's mir einfacher machen und gleich fluchen? 🤔

You never disappoint. 👍
Thanks!
Why switch between using the scoring blade and pencil when marking for your cuts? is there an important reason?
To not score surfaces that will be visible. Otherwise you have an ugly score where it's not meant to be.
Amazing work. How much time have you worked on this project ?
Wow!!! Absolutely amazing! 👍
Thank you!
Impressionnant de technicité et de complexité.... combien de temps pour un tel joint? Bravo a vous et votre dextérité
Merçi!
whaat?? Amazing dude! Where did u get this skills? Great handmade work.
Fei xiang hao de gong zuo! (Wonderful work!)
謝謝!
amazing content
Thank you!
Astonishing skills!! I'm courious, how much time it would take to do a coffee table in this style? Not video making time tough. Again outstanding job!

Hey could you please make a video about you sharpening your chisels?
Keep up that amazing work.
Thank you! Sure I will!
Really cool stuff going on here.
Are you just making these joints to hang on the wall?

wooow cuanto tardaste amigo
te quedo muy bien
Gracias!
Great joint
Absolutely incredible! Thank you for sharing. On a scale of 1-10, where does this joinery fare compared to your other pieces?
It's a 7. Splayed joinery is a lot harder. I will get into that in the future.
Nice work sir please keep it up
Buy a propelling pencil with fine lead you can always extend the lead to get into tight corners and closer to rulers etc
wonderful piece, minimal in it's decorative nature.
Thank you!
Above all, great skill
Amazing work!
Thank you!
