Once again I find myself coming back to this video, so much of Japanese joinery (and all other kinds really) depend on accurate, consistent and knowledgeable marking up and there's not enough content out there for us. Maybe ask Greg to do a simple joint? Ari Otoshi or something.
Interesting. I naturally was dropping the edge of my american square to keep the reference surface when making a line. Your square is thinner and more gracile- lovely.
Thank you so much for these videos. I'd really enjoy it if ya'll did more on marking techniques. For example knife marking, marking gauge etc. i struggle with these and want to improve with my Japanese tools.
Precisely I was wondering how to introduce myself in the use of such a beautiful ruler, it’s so convenient for create my own drawing pattern. I appreciate this video very much. interesting because Greg unravel a misterious and productive process in Japanese carpentry. Please Greg, keep updating videos! More joinery will be extraordinary
I enjoy your videos very much. You do a great job. I think it would be helpful to put some of the Japanese tool names properly spelled in English, "sashigane", for example. I would like to see a video showing how to use Japanese saws to resaw a piece of wood.
Hi , I brought one from you in shaku measurement .. on reverse short length inside is I believe metric but I’ve found it’s out .. it measures 9.5 mm to my 10mm so it’s 200mm is actually 193mm !!!!!
Great video, Mitch and Greg! I was hoping to find out the purpose for the squared side and you edited it right there 😂 Did you do another video with it, or do you still have the rest of Greg’s explanation that you could pop up? Cheers, Darcy in Maddingley.
Can you demonstrate the layout marking and there meaning Japanese woodworker use. I watch many videos, and what is a sash mark at a line mean? A sash across the line and other?
Thank you! If I may, could I suggest listing the concrete names of the tools used in the video, in the description? Subtitles can be a bit wonky sometimes :)
Not complicated?! I find this statement quite misleading. It's other side with square and pi marks is meant to be used for extremely complicated calculations and measurements of radiuses, angles, whatever else, take a lot of time and effort to learn.
I find it is very trade dependant. Carpenters almost always do use ink (0.4mm felt tip pens are popular with Greg and his company), but I have seen many Japanese furniture makers and shoji screen makers work in pencil.

More Greg please!
Can he demonstrate laying out some simple joinery?

Thank you for this video, and explaining the uses and techniques behind these. Very informative!

A video about Sashigane and you didn't even talk about the π scale or the square root scale?
I miss this content. I hope it's something you guys can come back to at some point.
Thanks. I very much enjoyed this.

I have one and use it for all my projects.

I’ve just sussed it , what a twat I am 😜
reckon a conventional combo square has got to b much easier and quicker to use though

Doesn't depressing the long side change the measurement by a few mm or cm's??
Not when it is aligned to a mark. Freehand? total mess.
So we all know how to use a square, what about the markings on the square?
where can you bay this tool.

I didn't learn a thing.
The Japanese use ink, not pencil.🤔😉
