Nothing wrong with combining old and new. Woodworkers have always been innovators. Most joinery originates in practical wood utilization. The Japanese had to learn to join wood to make their unique flexible framed, paper walled, almost earthquake proof buildings. The only buildings that collapse in quakes in Japan are modern ones.
Lawrence Withrow. What you're suggesting about modern building is probably true.. but we have to take into account the bias in our sample of old buildings. The old buildings that >were< vulnerable to earthquake fell down a long time ago! We only get to see the good ones. It's natural selection.🙂
Dorian Bracht man... Shut the fuck up... You don't need apologize for anything.. Your are being an ass... Well done and Fairplay.. What you are doing is a joy too see and never ever ever let me hear you apologize for some silly editing crap! You do a great job, videos are crisp and have it all, keep it up! We'll done also :)
Every time I watch one of your videos it’s like I’m watching art in the making. I’m currently building a timber frame home and incorporating many Japanese joinery as well as western techniques very well done
Not sure how i ended up here, but stayed to watch. At first i wondered what the purpose was to this. But i quickly realized this is an amazing form of art, just like origami. Sure, there are more efficient ways to join two pieces of wood together, but that isn't the point here. This is really amazing to me and very satisfying to watch.
This is also something they did before screws, glue, and modern building materials became common. Also, when you're say..making a floor in a building or something you need a super long piece of wood that's going to be heavy, you can slide it together instead of going in sideways like a dovetail and its stronger than a regular mortise and tenon
@@sirlorddoctormajorphd3016 Yeah aren't temples built with techniques like this? I thought I saw something like that mentioned under another competence porn Japanese woodworking video.
Noah : Purpose is simple. A technique to make long structure if they do not have very long wood. Or, when they repair old building partly using old part to keep original structure as much as possible.
Very nice to see craftsmanship like this still alive today. Some people might ask why you put so much work into something like that, but believe me... I get it!
Woodworker here...have a book on japanese joinery and find it fascinating but only use regular joinery on my own work. Love that you tried it what a conversation starter!
i have seen plenty of Japanese connection video, only your video is very awesomely described,. step by step,. just by showing from begining to the end truly i get the idea very quickly,.. thanks for this video Dorian,..
Wow beautiful workmanship. Like a joint I could never manage I'm too heavy handed. I work with steel now but this is stunning work in in awe to ya man. Well done with that art.
I like to tell my students that you should pretend you're holding a baby bird - just enough pressure to keep it from flying away, but not enough to crush it.
I find it hard to believe that this was ever actually used in Japanese joinery. Hard to see what use or purpose this joint has over alternatives. This is just YT internet make-believe.
You know Dorian the funny thing is I have watched this video four times now and I noticed that I have many of the tools you have but I can't make them do the things you can. I think I want results too quickly and that causes me to get impatient which causes mistakes. I will not quit though. I heard a saying once that I try to live by, "The test of your attitude is seeing what it takes to stop you." I like the music btw
I made a simple comment once about Hitler not making a "mean guy" list and I had over 1400 replies including death threats. Don't pay attention to this crap. Here is another one for you, "The people that matter don't care and the people that care don't matter.
Amazing, it looks like lovely wood to work with, very satisfying how the chisels remove wood. I liked the part where you rubbed on some red wax or dye to test the level then removed the red parts as they were obviously the high points, very clever.
just practice cutting to a knife cut. i use european/american style saws and it works just fine. the tips per inch on the saw matter a bit, but make sure its sharp and set well. as the saw cuts into the waste area the teeth will take away material right down to the knife cut and the saw will find its way. you need 2 knife cuts to define a plane (aka the angle for your saw) you follow one knife cut tip by tip all the way down the wood, then follow the other knife cut while staying in the kerf you've already made. notice he also uses a jig to pair to his markings. mostly just practice and mess up a lot first.
@@jamil3286 Yeah, there is a joint for every purpose. This will be plenty strong when vertical, but it would have differing strengthness in every rotation when horizontal. For those applications there are other joints. But this is so much more than joint. It's art, precision engineering, handwork and tradition. I very much love the idea of making something so well, and it being almost invisible. It's done for the need, not for others to see our you to brag.
You get to work with some nice material. I have to work with old pallets and what I find while dumpster diving at construction sites. Nicely done. Thanks for the ideas.
You know all of this creative engineering was because Japan being such a geologically young island chain had jack all quality iron ore deposits so people had to figure out how to build without nails and 'metal intensive' architecture of all types, even Samurai armor was mostly bamboo/lacquer and fabric composite with not much metal in it.
I'm loving reading all of your replies about precision cutting with the handsaw. I'm new to woodworking and naturally realized that when I let the saw do the work, things came out better. It takes a little longer, but I feel more in tune with the craft... not just cutting shit up and swinging saws all over the place lol. Less pressure, longer strokes. What a difference that makes. 👌🏾
While obvious, i will still state that this isn't furniture, rather, a scale model, this kind of joint is intended to make a beam several meters long. I can't, off the top of my head remember the channel name, but there's such an endeavor documented. A traditional Japanese home built entirely from joinery and old techniques. There, you can see these joints used in their true purpose, the stunning part being that there's no space for even a piece of paper to slip.
aserta I'm pretty sure with regular house building u can't slide paper in it either. And I don't get this craze for Japanese culture either. Everything literally came from China then to Korea then to Japan. Literally Japanese sword making is copied of the Koreans and chinese
I would love to have a) the skill b) the patience c) the tools and d) the ability to picture how all those pieces come together. Good stuff, impressive
"Alternatively, buy a longer piece of wood..." Right. Then saw it in half. Then cut this join into the parts. With your dull Stanley dog-chisel. Best of luck Mr. Smartypants.
I watched a different video of this same type of joint and I thought the same thing, the joint is still open! However on the other video the craftsman, after fitting the joint removed the wedge pins... and then using another wedge in the gap went on to open the joint (up possibly for transportation.) So, yes, I think this gap is 100% intentional. Certainly the perfection of the rest would eliminate that it's a mistake.
The gap, whether intentional or not is not necessary. And more attention to the grain should be taken when using this joint, properly done is invisible and strong.
I am a carpenter by profession, over 25 years, but what kind of jobs this can be used when working totally unnecessary? otherwise, it's nice or something like that and tedious see.
You sound more like a handyman... No cheap available fasteners back in the days so they had to use clever joints with drive in blocks and posts to join lengths and corners. This is far beyond nice or something...
Beautiful craftsmanship. That said, I find it more enjoyable to watch than usable in the majority of things I see being built. There are just too many better methods of doing this now, but I get why you explore it like you do.
Sometimes its fun to use different techniques ... I built my front porch and I Mortice, Tenoned, and Dowelled all the major pieces .. I even through bolted all supports to the structure on the house, with 1/2" threaded rod ... AND used only stainless steel fasteners .. it's VERY strong! :)
Dorian Bracht what kind of chisels do you have? They're dope, looks like you have a lot of Western ones and a few Japanese. I like the designs on some of them.
If you have even a hope of replicating this feat (let alone performing it at full scale) you’ve practiced enough woodworking that you could totally replicate it from this video. This thing isn’t for beginners, and won’t be even if you add a voice over explaining the exact measurements and steps.
Hey, I have a workbench exactly like that, I even have the original metal wedges that fit in in the holes along the front. Never thought I would see another like it!
This is meant as a constructive and nice cretic, hope that you take it as such:-) There is no question about your fantastic skills and that your recording technic are great, but without you telling about how, why and so on, I feel it like a person who just are standing in the corner admiring without learning. Just waiting until you are finish with your work.

Sorry for the weird sound editing :(
Mario Wombat those are 1 2 3 blocks. Used for a lot of different stuff.
I don't have a mill, but I find the 1-2-3 Blocks extremely useful as a perfect 90 degree jig for hard woods.

Thank you!
Wow, how can one be so pricise with a handsaw? i can't even cut a straight slice of bread!
muh1h1 he's using a Japanese hand saw which are much easier to control as they cut on the pull stroke this tends to give one better cuts Imo
+muh1h1 no pressure on the cut!
I like to tell my students that you should pretend you're holding a baby bird - just enough pressure to keep it from flying away, but not enough to crush it.
They have the same image for martial arts (while grabbing wrists or holding a sword)
Get a proper bread knife, that's really the key to making perfect slices. :P
maaan i love japanese joinery and their techniques. no glue no mess no fuss. can take it apart if needed without destroying stuff.
I find it hard to believe that this was ever actually used in Japanese joinery. Hard to see what use or purpose this joint has over alternatives. This is just YT internet make-believe.

Weird flex but ok
Such a lot of effort, but the craftsmanship is superb to watch, well done.
+nick j thanks!
Is there supposed to be a gap left in the end or was that just a miscalculation of the length?
You would want the main Joinery to bottom out before the tennon.
Might be to wedge a shim in to separate it?

Thank you. My master taught me that one.
what is your secret for cut with saw absolument right. all my try are deviant right or left.
+rene lefebvre use no pressure. Take long, light strokes.
Grandpa used to say "let the saw cut for you" meaning you're there merely for the stroke.
rene lefebvre cut the lines on one side flip then follow that line the other side will follow what was cut
Extend your index on the side of the saw. I saw this trick here on RUclips and it works for me.
just practice cutting to a knife cut. i use european/american style saws and it works just fine. the tips per inch on the saw matter a bit, but make sure its sharp and set well. as the saw cuts into the waste area the teeth will take away material right down to the knife cut and the saw will find its way. you need 2 knife cuts to define a plane (aka the angle for your saw) you follow one knife cut tip by tip all the way down the wood, then follow the other knife cut while staying in the kerf you've already made. notice he also uses a jig to pair to his markings. mostly just practice and mess up a lot first.

You sound more like a handyman... No cheap available fasteners back in the days so they had to use clever joints with drive in blocks and posts to join lengths and corners. This is far beyond nice or something...
I suppose way back when, if they didnt have glue or metal was rare for fixings, this joint would make for an excellent substitute scarf joint.
its really clever in my opinion because I think this can fix it better in some casses than glue, but that is just an assumption
Japan temples and shrines have built and inherited buildings that can withstand earthquakes for hundreds of years in this way.
Thanks for sharing this, it's fascinating and intelligent. This japanese carpentry looks so precise that it can have tolerances near the mechanics
Thank you!
would a master Japanese craftsman not have that 2mm gap?
Yes, it is meant to be there.
Dorian Bracht It's the gap that makes it perfect.
The gap is so you can disassemble the splice for transport,
That gap shown the absolute precision
