Make A Traditional Japanese Kumiko Screen Using Hand Tools - Part 1/3 - Making The Kumiko Grid

This is the first part of a 3 video series that shows our process for making Traditional Japanese Kumiko screens.
We use only hand-tools and traditional Japanese methods and designs for our screens. The videos have no music and no talking, just relaxing and quite woodworking.
In this video you can see the process of making the inner grid for the screens.
Please watch the other two videos to see the rest of the build process.
2/3: coming soon
3/3: coming soon
full build time-lapse: coming soon
We hope you find this video relaxing to watch.

My biggest problem after watching this video, is that there are only 2 videos in this channel. Absolutely brilliant work, and amazing video. waiting for more!!!

[@emilyleaf2143]

Thank you for showing this perfect craftmanship. Can you please also explain how you lay out the marking for the half-lap joints in such a precise manner?

Hello Jiawood!!! Thank you for passing on your craft with your channel.
The lighting, colour and camera focus are so important to me.
As an older woodworker with limited resources and space, the photo of your benches tell me a great deal as well.
Thank you for recording and keeping each and every step of your methods on the video.
It’s not slow, it’s quite dense with information I’ve needed.
I respect the time invested in a “unspoken” video.
Very few can do this well.
Speaking does not make a method clearer.
It’s in the doing.
I have learned 8 techniques that I will practice on my kitchen counter soon.
Again, Kenseh and Javah.
Thank you for sharing.

[@jerrytrueblue]

@@jiawoodwoodworking4285 Oh!..... thank you. My kitchen counter is my workbench now, where I practice joint making. I look forward to the next lesson!

Чудова робота! 👍

[@TheMasterxfile]

Great work, what type of wood is that ?

[@stuartevensen9163]

Hello, I am wondering if you sell your plans for your gorgeous Kumiko oanels, Thanks, Stuart

[@szeredaiakos]

Those tiny little clamps are so cute that they actually drove a tear into my eyes.
Why the water in the joints? Are you wet-bending into shape to relieve some pressure?

[@The_Altered]

I think the water is applied to soak into the end grain of the joints so it swells and closes up the gaps in the joints

[@jrahm-ts4rs]

When do you post 2 & 3, please?

[@1031103899]

working on the second one now. Should be done soon.

[@stanrekagetsu8113]

[@jiawoodwoodworking4285]
