I like the punch from using different colours of wood in the patterns. So far I've only used a basswood with a couple of walnut pieces in the chrysanthemum design. I'm new at kumiko but I have one question about some of the pattern that you used. I was under the impression that all kumiko designs are notched and fitted so that they are held together by friction and that any glue is extra reinforcement but not necessary for the pattern to stay together. Yet some of your patterns ( especially this last one ) absolutely need glue or they'd just fall apart. Was I wrong in my assumption or are you taking a departure from tradition by using the capabilities of modern glue?
Thanks, Randy. Very good questions. "all Kumiko designs are notched and fitted" All Kumiko patterns are held by either lap joint or by mating angle to each other. This means, there is only one type of joinery(lap joint) holding the patterns together. That's why all Kumiko material's grain must be horizontal to keep shrinkage to a minimum. "glue is extra reinforcement but not necessary for the pattern to stay together" I know that a lot of the Kumiko craftsman says the glue is unnecessary. But, glue is more of a must-use than an extra reinforcement. Without the glue, the pattern will become loose after a few seasonal changes and will fall out of the main panel even with the horizontal grain layout. "are you taking a departure from tradition by using the capabilities of modern glue?" Part right! Yes, the modern glue will be strong enough to hold 1/16" to 1/8" thick material in place for a long time. One of the famous Government Certified Kumiko Maker in Japan relies solely on glue for his large Landscape Kumiko panel. He makes multiple Kumiko patterned panels and cuts them to shape including curve lines then puts them together by glue. He does call himself an outsider of the Kumiko Maker. The answer to your question would be, the glue would be much stronger than friction fitted by matching angles. And lap joint is one of the weakest joints, which makes a Kumiko panel more of an interior art piece than a structurer shoji (Chang-ho) doors or wall panels. Thanks for your questions and comments. I hope my answers help a little to your question.
Another great video presentation, Taeho! Thank you ever so much. As you know, I was planning to start an Andon lamp project next week. I have already watched your video on that. Now, I'll hold off on my own project for a few days while I build a horizontal slot mortiser. Hopefully, that will only take a couple of days. I hate chiseling mortises by hand. Yep, like you, I can be a little lazy about some aspects of things. ;-)
Thank you, Michael. You will like the next series. I have done enough handwork in my woodworking career. Honestly, I want to make more furniture than woodworking.🙏🙏🙏👍
This series was great and, honestly, awe-inspiring. I know that I’m never going to make something like that panel. However, I’m very excited for your next series! An updated version of one of your “classics” and that Nakashima-inspired chair is going to be amazing. Hopefully a series on the Nakashima-inspired cantilevered bench will come too!
Good to hear from you again. I didn't expect this series to be this long. I guess I underestimated the Kumiko. 😂 Right after the lamp series, I'm going to do a cantilever bench. At originally, I was going to do a bench first, but I have a class coming up at Marc Adams on lamp making which made bench series pushed back. Thanks.
Hello Jim, the Kumiko plan is finally available at my website. You'll have better understanding of 1 13/16" becoming 1 23/32" of inner triangle. Thanks. www.tkwoodartstudio.com/shop-2
Solid precise work, it's dangerous you make hard things look simple. BTW Yay for the Conoid Nakashima's chair ... I made my desk in that style but still need to make a chair or two, I have resisted so far, but I'm sure seeing you doing it will make me make the jump :-), looking forward to it !
Thanks, Daniel, It's all about the accurate layout and marking. One most important element that a lot of woodworkers disregard. You will like the Nakashima Inspired Chair. It's probably the most accurate method on RUclips. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your videos! This was so awesome to watch. I recently started doing Kumiko and i love it. Your work is beautiful. Congrats to you and the club on your amazing panel!
at 1:36 I see each side has a length of 1.719". On your sled what is the measurement from left of the blade to left of the 1/8" key? high school geometry was way too long ago. :-)
Hey Jim, if you're looking for the notching location, 0.803 is where you want to be. 0.803 should be next to the blade on the left side. You can see the drawing at 1:36
@@WoodArtStudio1 nope. in part 2 at 2:57 you show a measurement for the grid of 1 - 13/16" but this is on the 30 degree angle. What is the horizontal equivalent measurement from the left of the blade to the left of the key?
I had the first three patterns that I want it to use. Starting the fourth pattern, I had to decide which pattern would be good for this video. Thanks for watching ^^ 🙏👍

I’ve learned so much from this series! Thank you for the fabulous jigs and techniques to speed up making the infill pieces. Amazing.
Mind blowingly amazing. Very well done 👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful job......👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you...👍👍👍
Looking forward to the new projects
Thanks, hope you will enjoy it.
Thank you so much! I love your videos. I look forward to the next. The trees you use are beautiful in color.
Thanks so much again. I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming series. 👍👍🙏

Absolute beautyful ! How long did that kumiko panel take you to build it?
About 130 hrs... thanks for watching.
LOVE IT!
