That is a beautiful corner. The way the wedge brings the two pieces closer is really nice. Great job.
I’m happy to hear that! Cheers! 😊🙌
This level of woodworking is truly magnificent, thank you for sharing!
Thank you 😊
I really love how you meticulously clean those edges its so satisfying to watch it shows how serious you are with your craft.
Thank you 😊🙌
I’m a wallpaper hanger in the US and I do a lot of work on historic houses. I frequently see work done by paperhangers 100 years ago that impresses me. In fact, the style of Parker hanging from around 1890-1914 really blows modern paperhanging away, a master craftsman’s skill will shine through any gap in time.
Very nice 👌Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
技術もさることながら、カメラワークがとても良いです。
ありがとうございます😊
Incredible to think that a little wedge like that held up a building for 100 years. Something spectacularly symbolic about that
Really ingenious joint. Thank you for sharing that content!
😊🙌
Amazing how the wedge pulls the joint together.
Fabulous work, Dylan. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your kind words 😊🙌
Genius design, genius craftmanship.
I couldn't take my eyes off this video until it ended. Beautiful!
I’m happy to hear that! Thank you 😊🙌
これだけ精緻な木組みだから、日本の伝統建築は地震にも耐えられたのですね。逆に地震が頻発する国土なので、このような木組みを考案したのかも知れません。多くの賢才先人に感謝をいたします。

100 years !!!!😱 that's AMAZING 👏👏👏👌
Yeah. They only finished it 6 months ago.
So relaxing
Absolutely brilliant.
Cheers! 😊🙌
So therapeutic, so zen, to watch this... Love it!
Thanks!
Really cool to watch that wedge draw the joint together
ah! I have been looking forward to this one
That’s great to hear! 😊🙌
I never get tired of watching this true craftsman at work. Each project is a work of art.
Thank you 😊
@@dylaniwakuni You're welcome and congratulations on hitting a 100k subs.
So pleasing to see the care and attention to detail. Thank you.
I love ur work and how u film the video..hopefully u will make more video ,it really beautiful 😍
Thank you 😊 I’m happy to hear that!
What an elegant solution. So beautiful!
Here in Australia, we are locked into an Aus version of Amazon. Sadly can't buy this awesome book, but I couldn't afford it anyway. 😢
No international Amazon? I can buy from Japan even if it doesn't deliver here to the UK, because there is a service called freight forwarding, who send from Japan to the UK.
Awsome! I'm becoming obsessed with Japanese carpentry, this was fun to watch. I work on some western style timber frame structures. We always lay out, then score our lines before cutting. Is there a similar practice in Japan? I like the way you use a block to register your chisel against, maybe then its not necessary to score first.
Greats skills and accuracy.
Nicely done, thanks for showing us.
I've always been interested in woodworking, but your videos makes me want to purchase some new tools and try out Japanese joinery myself
That’s great to hear. All the best! 😊🙌
3:43 loved that.
Beautiful! Thumbs up and thanks for posting.
Thank you 😊🙌
truly wonderful...thank you for the share. Precision.
Very fine joint and many thanks for the link for the book
Beautifully made.
Amazed!
Loved it! thanks for sharing.
Beautiful and incredible
Amazing workmanship
Wow - I'd almost want to CAD this before trying.... beautiful work
What an awesome joint. Love it.
That’s great to hear 😊
awesome construction technique. Using the wood as the full joint including securing it simply shows the Nail was meant to be wood as well. I love tried and true techniques that have love in them. this is one of those.
Brilliant.Your work is every bit as outstanding as the old Japanese master craftsmen.Cheers from India 🇮🇳.
Thank you 😊
I have always been fascinated by Japanese buildings constructed without any nails. The craftsmanship is stunning, and simply cutting the wood to fit together has a huge ascetic appeal - almost like a sort of Zen worship. I imagine your work must be very satisfying? So, this joint that you found - there must have been many places where two beams came together in the same sort of way, but there was just this one place where that particular joint was used? I guess because whatever craftsman that was working that joint simply decided that was the way he was going to do it, or was there something particular about the application at that point that would call for that joint?
Beautifully done. 👌
Thanks 😊🙌
Excellent!
Great, thank you for good video of wood joints.
This is SO COOL!
Thanks! 😊🙌
Magnificent, Master.
Outstanding 👍🥰
Beautiful chisel work...
Very impressive!
Excellent Dylan once again superbly worked out. You have excellent skilled hands.🙏🏻😌
As always, thank you for your kind comment 😊🙌
Japanese craftsmanship is a level of beauty that’s nearly impossible to articulate. It never get’s old watching it…and I think it’s what makes them such incredible teachers. They know what it takes to learn something to achieve that level of proficiency. That said, I’m trying to understand what the stick (wedge?) is used for, or how it works. It appears that it works in place of a nail. It’s what holds the corners in place? Can anyone confirm or correct me on that?
Beautifully done and a superb video presentation. I like to see the block that helps for paring the critical shoulders.
Cheers! 😊🙌
i found out something i didn't know, one of the secrets of a good fit
Wow! 👏👏👏
Liked & subscribed! 👌
Thanks 😊
awesome
I’m having trouble understanding how exactly the wedge slot is cut and how it pulls the joint together. But truly beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing again. I recently just cut my first Kane Tsugi joints on a project for my wife, which I learned from you.
Yep, you just have to go back through the few seconds starting at 7:11 and watch it a few times. I think I've got how it works now, but I imagine nothing will beat trying one! I might wait until next year....
Think of it as a scarf joint but it joins a corner. It’s the same principle, except everything is at a 90° angle
Happy to hear you made the Kane Tsugi!
The wedge acts in the same way as any other joinery. The edges of the slot overlaps and creates an opening for the wedge. As others have mentioned, the best way to understand is to make one too 😊
Awesome! 😀👍
Cheers!
Your craftsmanship is amazing. You shouldn't fast-forward so much as it is very relaxing.
Thanks for the feedback 😊
Paper-thin... sugoi!!
Have been wanting to see this corner joint cut so I can try myself, thank you! But ahh man I wish the part where you cut the key slot was there, that's going to make me scratch my head a bit later
Amazing Dylan. I wish I could speak Japanese in order to order the book! I'd just be pressing buttons and paying for something in hope! I hope you have a great new year.
Wishing you a great New Year too! 😊🙌
Very very nice!
Thank you 😊🙌
iam amazed
Wow
Love your ambition and confidence, but espcially your passion or the craft. If only we could bottle and sell all of t . . .
I was wondering what the gap was as you assembled the joint, that locking wedge was incredible. From someone who can just about manage a half lap joint!
Expensive book.
carpenters 100 years ago was so chad, maybe they have joinery competition back then just for fun
Spending eight minutes to watch this, I picked up two techniques that had not crossed my mind. Patience is not one of my virtues.
Sublime
Es una preciosidad de enlace 😊👌
Nice
Thanks! 😊🙌
Shit.....now I've gotta learn Japanese so I can read that book. Amazing work!
Subarashi!🎉
Amazing. just subscribed. can I ask what 3 chisels you use the most? I want to learn joinery and would rather get 3 high quality chisels than buy many cheap ones
Impresive!
Is there an English version of the book?
That is absolutely beautiful work. How long did it take all together for that joint?
Fantastic work there,shame you forgot the most important part- the locking wedge. Is this joint in a book? I'd love to use it in future furniture projects. Happy New year and a healthy one too. Karl W
Amazing woodwork! I am thriller to see The delicat use of your tool. I am partially living in Thailand where there is termite that eats up woodwork/houses. Is there NO termite in Japan? If so, how do/did they fight them to not eat up their houses?
A link to the video featured at the beginning?
How do you do it so perfect ❤️
Thank you
3:24 - so pretty
Haha the wedge detail of this joint still remain a mystery 😜😂
Haha, I’ll make sure to get a video next time! I was like “I’ll try making one part and figure it out first, then film it”. As we all know, the second part never happened (sorry 😅)

Hi Dylan. Thank you for taking the time to record and publish. These joints are truly amazing and a work of ark and engineering.
What kind of wood do you use for these test joints?
I'm currently on my 6th Kumiko lamp and have learned a lot.
Thank you 😊
It’s great to hear you’ve been working on your Kumiko lamps.
I’ve been using Hinoki (Japanese Cypress)
@@dylaniwakuni Thanks Dylan! There are a lot of true Kumiko masters in Japan. I hear a lot of the crafts are dying out. I sure hope more young people step up to the crafts. I would truly love to work with some of these masters for a week or two.
Wow, great woodworking skills! Just asking, how did you cut the wedge slot so perfectly? Did you pre-assembled the pieces before cutting the slot?
Yes, I preassembled the pieces and then marked out the slots.
@@dylaniwakuni made sense, otherwise, just calculating the angles of that wedge slot would have been a nightmare
When I’m chiselling my bench is quite low down and it harms my back and I’m just curious to know if possible how high is your workbench
Where can I get that book in the beginning?
Hi, what is that book you have at 00:42? Is it available internationally?
Do you have a list of woodworking books you enjoy?
Is there an English version of the book?
what's the book that has the diagram for the joint in the beginning? The handful of translated japanese joinery books (I have all of them) leave much to be desired.
There’s a link to the book in the description
@Dylan the book referred to - Illustrated Wooden Architecture Traditional Techniques Encyclopedia Hardcover - 2001/5/1 - it doesn't seem to have an English translation, can you confirm if this is the case and suggest an alternative?
Unfortunately there isn’t an English translation but I have some suggestions listed here: www.amazon.com/shop/dylaniwakuni/list/2Z75QXEIQRIH4
Cheers
I’m curious as to what type of wood is being used.
Is there a version of this book in English?
Do Japanese carpenters still do these overly engineered joints to impress their peers ? It is beautiful, but i am sure there is like 200+ easier way to make way to join corner in Japanese joinery list, and i am certainly impressed by both original and yours
@@ralphgesler5110 I think you missed my point. That joint is too beautiful and intricate just to reside in a corner of a building, where no one but carpenters may even see it. So it was obviously done to impress (show off to) peers and whomever would see it 100 years down the line, as there are joints that are certainly easier and less time consuming to do. I guess some master carpenter done it to show apprentice another way to do corner, but impressed almost 100 years later we still are ;-)
Well, we all enjoy a little challenge and leaving behind something we’re proud of at times 😊
Any idea if this book is available in English id love to have it but I can't read Japanese
how can i get that book? have you got the ISBN for it, please?
I’ve put a link for it in the description
А почему все пазы нельзя сделать фрезером (уголки потом доработать стамеской). Просто из принципа? Или на случай, когда кончится свет...
I can't even make a simple miter look that good 😐
