- Get the TEMPLATE and the Katz-Moses Magnetic Dovetail Jig here: lddy.no/stiz
This weeks woodworking joint is the traditional Japanese Scarf Joint. I use a combination of hand and power tools to cut it and it’s actually easier than you think. It’s a beautiful decorative joint used in furniture, timber framing, and so many other applications. It takes some practice but it teaches you how to use templates and chisel ultra accurately. It is an incredible way to practice super accurate joinery techniques. Let me know in the comments what joint you’d like to see next week. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

thank you Katz . what a neat way to stretch a board thank you . oh and thank you for the plans on it
Great explanation! Thank you.
This joint of the week concept is pretty interesting.
I really appreciate your kind words
Love it John!
I love your stuff, don't have a use for some of the joints but I love making them just to improve my skill set, keep making the cool videos
That's awesome bud! I can't wait to see what you create!
Awesome joint
Thanks bud!
they look like mirror images of each other , looks nice
Nicely done strong joint 👍
I got to try this joint somewhere. Cool looking with the different color wood.
Yea I had a fantasy of doing a double one
I love the music in this video !!
Hey knucklehead butt joint ! Love your work, and used this joint with glue up and wedges on half inch thick maple and mahogany to make drawer fronts. Gives my shop cabinets a classy look. Thanks again for the idea..
Another great explanation and demonstration on making a specific joint. Thanks.
Congrats on your popwood playback episode
Katz-Moses Woodworking Shop Thanks.
Nice work Katz Man Do !
Thanks brother!
Fabulous! thank you :)
Another great joint and fantastic explanation. Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate it Steve!
For work over the last twenty yrs I've had to teach technical things. I know what it takes top do it well. You have that gift. Its something people have, learn to do, or strive for. You're a natural and can reach the novice woodworker to the seasoned one.
@@steveandrewsmith you're too kind. Thank you!
LOVIT !
That would make Great Table Legs !
Thx’s for Sharing !
Very nice great work Jonathan
Thanks Pat!
I love that this joint can be used to make huge beams as well as the small one you made. Do you think it would be possible to make a series of them - one on either side of each half of the joint so that they all join together to make a repetitive pattern kind of like an Escher woodcut?
When i clicked this video from Google because it looked cool and I should subscribe- I'm already subscribed
Thank you. Would really like to try and do one of these. Have seen before and even did one with the real roofer carpenter I worked with while restoring our old home; he did it I watched and it was 15 years ago...Needless to say, it was great watching and listening to your detailed directions...cheers...rr from Normandy
Thanks my friend!
I really dig your wood! ;) lmao i love the unique woods you use on your joints of the week. And they always like super bitchin. Sets you apart from the other woodworkers on youtube. And I can actually sit and watch the hole thing without wanting to skip thru or lose interest. Love the vids and the passion that goes into your videos. Not to mention the effort too. Can always appreciate someone who wants and enjoys spreading the knowledge. I dig it. Keep it up man.

Thanks so much brother!
I'd think it'd be really cool to see you do a foxtail through-tenon
I'll put it on the list. Thanks bud
Not sure but I think you got the cart before the horse on this video. Good job on the joint.
Sweet! Do a three way mitre joint, or a knucklebutt joint head.
Maybe a jiter moint!
very cool video love your channel buddy
I really appreciate it my friend!
@@katzmosestools can I just ask you do you ship you magnetic dovetail jigs to England I would realy love to have one and I can even do some promo thru my Insta page check it out @woodshed_design
How pleasantly suprised I was when I clicked thinking I was getting a simple scarf joint and it turns out to be a keyed scarf! so much more interesting and fun!
Do a butt joint you knucklehead and do it using any tools that work for you including rocks or laser cutters. I don't understand why some people get hung up on how things are made...just make em and move on
Like the series keep it up, maybe a half lap miter, a splined butt or a keyed through tenon? I'll take my answers off the air.
First!
It's the Kanawa Tsugi joint!
It is!
How about a splayed dovetail joint? I used to make nail boxes with them years ago when I was a carpenter and joiner and I have forgotten how to now.
What's a good CAD program for beginners? I've used them in the past for home renovation layouts but it's been a long while and no clue what options are best now, thanks!
Very slick. Nicely done. Have you watched the video by Skillbuilder where he builds a scarf joint for a rafter using battery powered power saw? He and another man stand on it after it is finished. No fasteners, no glue. Very cool.
Good wok Jonathan. Just to point out this joint strictly speaking should be Okkake (大栓継), and used to joint long scarf.
A Kanawa Tsugi (金輪継) has finger joint at the tip adding strength against twisting/sheer forces, and therefore can be used in vertical support.
Isnt this joint meant to be taken apart from time to time?
I thought the whole purpose of the scarf joint was to use it with large timbers, thus no glue and all handtools or handheld power tools. Wedges should be designed to hold a scarf joint tight.
Exactly! He completely missed the point by gluing it.
@@daspinmonkey yes, but glue still makes it stronger.
I don't know did Japanese 1000 years ago had a good wood glue
Dunno if this will be any help, but for routing, I've found the Whiteside Ultimate Trim router bits to be amazing. They're chunky solid carbide jobbies with dual up and down spirals. I make guitars, and I can run these things round the headstock totally ignoring grain direction with no risk of them pulling chunks out due to going against the grain. Really have been a revelation for me.
I own 2 but the piece was way too tall to use it sadly. I had to buy that ugly thing just for this video :-(
Feel a little daft now as I've watched a few of your other videos and have seen you use the bits!
I don't have access to 8' long boards and was wanting to make a 8 ft long workbench. I was thinking that I could use lots of scarf joints to get the lengths I needed. I haven't been able to come up with any potential problems doing this for all the boards. Can you think of any?
No I think that would work just fine. Great idea!
I've had my eye on getting one of those Lie-Nielsen rabbeting block planes. They sure are pricey. Any tips on how to find that sort of thing used?
Literally recorded a video on how to get deals on tools today. Almost never going to find a used one but they are amazing so I highly recommend buying one. Or set up an Ebay alert.
Estate sales.
Can this joint be done without glue for a knock down table?
Absolutely
How about a triple sunrise dovetail on each corner of a box?
I did a video on sunrise dovetails a couple weeks ago. Check it out
Well done but kind of an insult to that ancient joint if you use glue! Examples of it can be found in Japanese temples over 2000 years old. Tightly crafted joints with wedges and pegs but no glue.
DON'T get me wrong I LOVE your work.
O M G 👍
👊👊👊
Hey man I love the channel! Super high quality filming and your editing is spot on.
I want to offer some constructive feedback though on the way you transition verbally. Almost every time you go to a new step, you say “ok let’s go over to [insert tool] and get it started!”
I think it’s natural to speak like that, especially because you film it in hours, but it’s presented in minutes, and those awkward transitions make it feel clunky.
Maybe it’s just my preference, but I would really like it if you just said what you were going to do and then showed the clip doing it, and didn’t have to insert a “transition phrase” to get us there.
Anyway, love the videos, I’m glad I found you, and I’m excited to see where your channel goes!
Just discovering your channel, pretty nice job. Deserve a sub :D
Sad part is that join is supposed to be dismentled on demand so no glue as most of japanese carpentry stuff.
👍
Hullo young man. Very nice joint, well presented by yourself, and still got the arms going (in a shouting voice). So two joints. A joint that has a take on a Knee joint, and a simple wee one is a wooden hinge, joint thingamy jig help ma boab that would be perfect for wee jewel box's for Christmas time, ( awe isn't that sweet ). Go for it BIG GUY (in a shouting voice).
Hahaha thank you W
That was cool. How would I use it in a project?
Anytime you want to stretch wood. Beams, stretchers, showing off
I see. Small or large.
I really want to learn. And do it right. I have a creative mind. I needed to take a back seat to life while I got my family grown and on there own feet, by becoming a State worker. My Daughters are doing good. Bank President, and the other in charge of food services for a large school district. And My wife is a Veterinarian. I am retiring in 65 days. But who is counting. Some 40 years ago I took wood shop in school and I loved it. I have been dreaming of retiring and creating my own shop some day. Looks like I just might get to try it. If you are just starting? what tools would you think will help me get going. I have a few things. Table saw, Drip press, Joiner, Router, Pocket jig, and a few others. I have them because I build model Train layouts from time to time when I have time.
I truly thank you for sharing you talent and your skills. Some day you may hear of my work showing up out there. V
@@Vman7757 good luck my friend. The only tools you need are the ones you need. Dont buy things until you need them
Good advice. Right now I need a planer. LOL Having problems getting the two sides parallel. so it's all square for glue up. That why I started watching videos.
👊👌
Beautiful work.... BTW why the F@CK did you glue it? 🤔
What's a butt joint?
Stevie Ray Vaughn?
No
Can you cut this but also with the tenon on the front face of this scarf joint timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/scarf-joint-for-a-timber-frame-576x1024.jpg
That additional cut prevents sliding in the other axis.
I know, it's a minor modification; it's just such an amazing joint because it resists shear in all four directions, twisting, bending, compression, and tension-it's strong in every direction, just like solid timber.
Also: can you cut it in place with only portable tools, no tables, just as if you've got a piece of pressure-treated post cemented into the ground and now you want to join a ten-foot non-treated post above grade? ;) Real-world application, you know.
Do a triple inlay, half lap, sliding dovetail joint...... if that's a thing.... I dont know. I use a kreg.....
Do a butt joint
You do a butt joint sir!
In all seriousness though. I appreciate the work and effort you put into your content. Your essentials video for the jointer really helped me out.
@@carlf4275 my absolute pleasure my friend!
Roll up a cross joint
Not again. Put me in a coma last time
The Japaneses do not use glue. It's not required.
This playlist should keep you busy for quite a while if you want some inspiration for joint of the week. Promise no butt joints in there :)

I love Dorian. Great channel.
Is there such a thing as a knuckle joint? Maybe do one of those and we can all you a butt head! 🤣🤣
No glue and you’re missing the vertical tenons for lateral hold.
ruclips.net/video/3KqIIOyuo1Q/видео.html this is Kanawa Tsugi.
"Do a butt joint, you knuckle head"
,8
Cut a butthead , you knuckle joint. Still working up my courage to make a box with dovetails. Once I finish the dresser I’m making my wife, I’ll tackle that one.
No butt joints....hmmmmm, I have my medical cannabis card....if a Cannabis Joint was provided would you put that joint in the show? LOL
Hahahaha it's legal here so we can get them without medical
@@katzmosestools right on! I'm in New Mexico so it shouldn't be long before it's legal across the board here too lol
