In today’s mass-produced culture, quality is too often sacrificed as design focuses around the production process. Wood is a difficult medium to work with and is thus set aside in favor of other more consistent and reproducible options. Solid wood furniture and home goods require thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail from concept to delivery.
With over 25 years of experience in woodworking, Mayer Woodworks was founded on the belief that the goods in our home that we see and use every day should bring us continued joy and inner warmth. They are thoughtfully designed to be functional, and carefully crafted by hand from locally sourced and exotic woods. They are finished so as to bring out the natural beauty and depth of the wood without use of paints or dyes. They are focal points without shouting for attention.

How to Make Kumiko || Cutting Kumiko Strips and Grids
มุมมอง 49K4 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video series tutorial, we will cover the basics of how to make kumiko for beginners. The first video focuses on how to cut kumiko strips and assemble kumiko grids. The kumiko grid is the foundation of the kumiko panel. Kumiko Jigs: www.mayer-woodworks.com/shop Kumiko Strips: www.mayer-woodworks.com/kumiko-strips Saw Blades: www.mayer-woodworks.com/tools
I know this is supposed to be a traditional method using manual saws and chisels but the end product is still beautiful. So why not really embrace the technology and someone should make these on a 3D printer. I bet you could sell a billion of them even if all you printed were the individual pieces 🤑
Making mine now. I need to make a 30* and 22.5* cut and making a jig like you did. What are the screw on clamps you're using? Thanks.
I see it in the comments. Thanks.
@MayerWoodworks thanks for the lesson. What degrees did you create please? Particularly the one with the 45° jig? Trying to learn
can I know the thickness of the strips?
Beautiful. Question. How do you attach the panel to the frame?
Thank you excellent video! Just about to start out so will be following this along as I do it for the first time
Does the big wood cut 45 degrees?
truly lovely. are your strips the same thickness as your saw blade?
Visited your website and all the jigs seem to be out of stock. Do you still produce these and have any idea when more might be ready?
Great presentation. Thank you. I was wondering if the small pieces can be cut on a cross-cut sled.
excellent presentation. Very clear. Thank you!
All in all a good video for technique. Unfortunately your failure to clearly show the cutting angles ruined it for me!

How do you cut your strips
Any discount for subscribers?
Beautiful start!
Are you going to sell them again in the near future?
Compliment for project and tutorial 👍👍👍👍
thank you so much , I really need this method.
You are most welcome
Highly overpriced! I can make jigs for almost NOTHING!
I love seeing people make their own jigs! That’s why I made this video to show the process. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out.
Very good video, just a shame about that background music, maybe its just me but I find it distracting.
I’m a woodworker not a video editor. I guess it shows 😆
No offence intended, just a bit of feedback, maybe it’s just me being a stressed out old git. Great work. I look forward to the next 👌
Excellent 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
A joy to watch your videos. Your workshop makes a great backdrop in the videos as well. Always inspiring and I admire your imagination to keep coming up with great ideas and designs. Well done. One Handed Maker - Australia
Thank you very much!
there are a bunch of good tricks in there - your production hold-down jig for that tough angle is a good "finger-safe" jig, even if someone only ever wanted to make one jig - thank you
Thanks Kreech! That jig for steep miter angles finds plenty of use outside of kumiko jigs for sure!
I almost severely injured a finger using a ig like that.
Ouch!
The angles have to be perfect. I’m glad you can trust a Kobalt. I couldn’t trust my Bosch. I fine tuned them on a disc sander. Sorry have to question using a miter saw alone. Good job otherwise.
As we say in woodworking: don’t blame the tool! That Kobalt always took a little longer to set up with repeated test cuts to get the angle to the tolerances I needed but once it’s there it produces a reliable result. The Kapex I have now certainly speeds up the process though!
do you glue every piece?
It depends on the pattern and the use case. Many traditional patterns rely only on a friction fit but I added glue to some of these patterns because the client requested the added security.
Easy to follow! I bought your started set and love them! Thank you!
That’s great to hear!
What kind of glue are you using?
This is titebond 3
Can you only cut the kumiko strips with a chisel and jigs? Or can ALL the pieces be cut for any pattern with a table saw?
Looks awesome. LOL at the Harney Tea container at 20:30 (and throughout). I use 'em all the time.
Ahh yes my shop is littered with them!
it looks like the thickness of these planks should equal to the kerf?
Yes exactly
Very good videos, Thanks for sharing One question: How to connect the patterns, as the stripes are not always long enough for the complete picture?
Take a look at my video on the large kumiko panel. It will probably answer your question better than I can explain it.
Is there a reason why your table saw sled is so long? You could make it half that length and it would still work
Not really I guess that was just the size of the scrap mdf I had.
Recently purchased a set of these jigs, and they are every bit as well-crafted as they look here. Truly exceptional, a joy to use.
Will check em out, I look forward to the peace these processes give. Stunning work.
Well done with your video series regarding kumiko. Excellent information, clearly explained. Keep it up 👍🏻
your volume is too low . . .
You’re not wrong
I am sure a lot of work to figure out how to cut, thank you for sharing great ideas Nice job!
Amazing build! You definitely need great patience to do such a detailed project!
Gang cut those notches!
Your videos are excellent! Have learned many great tips and want to give asanoha pattern a try, bought some kumiko strips that are 5/32" thick.. Do I need to sand them down since my blade is only 1/8"?
You could either plane them down or do two passes for the notches so they fit. That’s really just an aesthetic choice I’d say.
Man.... you are my Spirit Animal...... using Kobalt Miter Saw, Craftsman Table Saw and you create this beautiful work. It is not about what you spend on equipment!
Haha thanks! While there are some tools I’m glad to have upgraded, the older tools were sure built to last
I completely disagree especially when you get good.
Beautiful but they are by no means flat
In this case they were going to be sandwiched between glass so I wasn’t super worried about flatness. I opted for a snugger fit to avoid any gaps.
I assume you never watched this video, did you? If so, you might have noticed that at the critical measuring part (example at 4.05) we can’t even see what you are doing. Also, I hoped I would be able to learn from you, but no, you lost me near the beginning, no giving the viewer any context for the little bit of wood with the small piece in the cut….I will no longer be shopping with you as there is little point if I can’t learn from you.
He is simply measuring the depth with his little ruler to check if it is at least half the thickness.. He is quite clear and his videos are among the best I've found for learning Kumiko.
I’m sorry you had a tough time learning from this video. I’m far from the best film editor, but still want to share some knowledge where I can. If you ever need help with the process feel free to DM me on Instagram, I’m always happy to help!
Здравствуйте, какой диск для пилы используется?
You would want to use a flat top blade
@@wayneschenet5340 да
I use a variety of blades depending on the purpose. The red ones you see in some of these videos are Freud. I use a heavy duty rip with flat tooth grind for the grid notches and a glue line rip for ripping strips.

Great jobs
Great work, thanks for sharing.
great job congratulations
