- I'm not sure if this was a good idea but it's something I've been thinking about and had to give it a try. I was originally going to use round bar but the thinnest I could find was 6mm (1/4") so then I thought about nails which I reckon would work out cheaper. Let me know what you think. :)

Maybe use wires to do it
Looks great! I’d love to see it in one of your projects!
Thinner stuff is "wire". You can straiten it with a drill. Also there are filler rods for tig welding. Perhaps no reason to cut nail tips? Tips placed into tri-intersection of small pieces could make those "buttons" smaller. Why not stack nails against a ruler, then clamp them and cut in bulk with a grinder?
Maybe you should not make the grooves deeper but pick a thinner bit of plywood and put a magnet (or severals) on the other side... if necessary add a frame so ti does not rest on the magnet.
That was a cool idea, I think I like the sharper connections and not so much the button, but that is so cool, keep'em comin
I think some delicate TIG welds could take this to the next level; especially with stainless or titanium and the coloring of the metal with careful heat manipulation.
I was always intending to tig weld them but as my welder is a multi function machine, I tried mig before swapping everything over and found it did a good job. I then decided to stick with that as I’m better with mig than tig. :)
Hell ya
Agreed, TIG welded with some stainless round stock would come out nice.
Id wet the board slightly and brass braze it. Dont have to worry about warpage on the piece and polished up brass joints look v pretty.
I was looking for small diameter round rod recently and found you can get 36" lengths of stainless in a range of tiny diameters as tig filler rods. Inexpensive and the ones I got were pretty dimensionally accurate.
That's great to know! Thanks! 😃
hey NightHawk,
I really liked your last vid on safe sparklers
@@jacklarson6281 Thanks! You try making them?
@@Nighthawkinlight not yet, I've got a lot of irons in the fire right now. kitchen/bath remodel, need to expand the chicken coop (my youngest girl just had 10 hatchlings, and two more girls are sitting on full nests now), and caring for an elder.
I'll let ya know when I finally get time to try them.
@@jacklarson6281 everyone should care for their elders. Glad to see one is. Shalom you are loved
One thing I admire about you Neil and what makes your videos so unique is your persevering attitude. It is very motivational. You don't seem to get rattled easily, at least not on camera but I take it you're that kind of person off-camera as well. Thank you for the great ideas.
Some panels of that in furniture built with Pask joints could look really good - and earn you permanent slot in a furniture museum.
Nice work.
I've never seriously welded, but I totally appreciate your creativity and talent in that area.
Definitely fun and entertaining to watch.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Intresting!
I would be excited to see what you could do with a CNC, but, to be honest, one of my favorite things about your channel (and the reason I dislike Mr. Deresta) is that you put emphasis on hand tools and doing things without expensive equipment that most of us can't afford.
I used to work as a welder in a factory that made products out of wire. I did tons of very small MIG spot welding. I got pretty good at it too. Not a talent that many welders develop. Well done.
Thanks Stanley! :)
I've never seen a wire product with small mig welds that looked good or even functioned good lol!
It was definitely a fun experiment and I love the results! This looks like would be great for a vent that is in a visible place or one of those modern metal-and-wood furniture that are trendy nowadays. Regardless, I really like how you are not afraid of doing new stuff, even if you aren’t sure about the end result.
Of course the colors chosen are what I'm colorblind to lol. I just had to wait a bit longer to see what it would look like! Worth the wait! ❤
Beautiful "experiment" sir! This would be amazing set in a wood cabinet door. I really enjoy your approach to things and have learned so much from watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I love to watch these just to enjoy the different projects, but they're always so educational too. Thank you.
I think that would look amazing with copper and brass soldered together too...
three observations: when Pask says "it was a lot of work" be.ware! two: watching this I just realised that your particular super-power is "manual automation" - it's definitely one of the strongest talents shown in these videos (and that is not to make light of your craftsmanship at all!); getting a process figured out and made repeatable with simple means. Awesome stuff. And finally, please keep up with using and showing the less tool intensive methods. Thank you!
Brilliant video. I can imagine your pain Mr Pask. 2 seconds to cut one nail, 15 minutes to find the rest of the nail that launched itself across the workshop lol
The rag was a brilliant idea 👍
Using some aluminum plate for the template would help with heat management, give you a really solid electrical connection, and also not catch on fire so much. You can still use woodworking tools to cut out the slots if you go slow and use lots of lubricant.
Also if you get tired of stripping the coating off nails, you can use TIG welding rod instead.
PASK MAKES ---- YOU NAILED THAT ONE " ---- THUMBS UP "
Sweet job, Neil!!! Always love watching you make Kumiko pieces!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You never cease to amaze me with your versatility Niel!
I like the simple method anyone can do. I have basic tools so I'm always looking for projects that don't contain lots of tools I'll never use again. It turned out so good. I can't wait to try it.
That came out much better than I thought it will. Well done.
Neil you're the nicest guy on the entire interweb.for sure.
Your imagination and patience are inspiring.
Thanks for the video mate. Stay safe
I think it might be time for Pask to get a small CNC machine to do stuff like this!! Wow, turned out great. Weld some feet on and it could be a baking cooling rack.
Cool idea. I was thinking of a door grille for a wood stove.
Or just build a CNC machine, it's not difficult and it's thousands of dollars cheaper. We've got a CNC tech in the family....
@@Mystic_Light small cnc engravers are pretty cheap these days
Super cool! I always love trying old techniques with new materials
Turned out Nice and there are a lot of projects where this would make a great feature.
Thanks Matthew! I’m definitely looking forward to using it in a project! :)
I think it turned out great Neil and I always enjoy watching the kumiko projects and your narration is so clear as well as interesting at the same time. Superb video mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations on 1 million Subscribers, it’s a big mile stone
Always impressed by your kumiko projects.
That looks amazing. I can think of so many uses for some like that. Looking forward to see what you come up with.
The rag trick to prevent flyaways was brilliant! Can't believe I never thought of that. Thanks for posting. 🍻
Half way through I didn't find it looking good, but after your small fixes, clean up and finishing; it looks gorgeous! So happy to have found your channel; it is great inspiration for me and what I do :)
Kumiko is made of many objects of the same shape. So, instead of welding all at once, I recommend you to make one pattern and weld it at the end to make it bigger.
I reckon the grid is the main thing. It needs to stay fairly consistent. If you welded individual pieces of the pattern together I reckon it would start getting wonky the further you go. It could be done with care but I reckon this way is easier. :)
@@PaskMakes
I see.
That's gorgeous. Love your innovations and experiments. I have a hard enough time nailing 2 boards together while you create a beauty like that. This pattern would make an awesome fireplace screen. Thanks for sharing this, Neil.
Thanks very much Vickie! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I think it turned out great, Neil. Looking forward to seeing what applications you come up with.
Your patience is legendary! Some of these things would have driven me crazy!
AWESOOOME!!! This was one of the coolest things ever!!
This would look REALLY cool as a window in a door.
Very very nice project. You`ve given me a few ideas I`m really excited about. Thanks for posting mate
I like how you made it so approachable! Awesome job as always!
Your creativity and talent continues to amaze!
I've been in love with kumiko for a while and will try to make some someday. That being said I love how you gave it such a different aesthetic with a different material! :-) The same underlying principle and yet such a different outcome! Its so cool! Thank you so much for this video!
You know what that looks like is an amazing custom drain grate for a shower. Would need some powder coating or similar though. Definitely agree tig welding is where this needs to go next! Nice work!
That came out great!!!! A wonderful possibility for heat/AC duct grates!
or a great decorative trivet - most are so ugly you don´t want to put them on the table
That's a cool idea! XD pun intended
A master of patience as well. Great looking panel. God bless
Next time you need nice straight rod in a variety of sizes and precise alloys, go to the welding supply and look at TIG filler rod. In the US it comes in inch sizes (1/16", 3/32" and 1/8" -roughly 1.6mm, 2.4mm and 3.2mm), 4 foot (1.2m) lengths, and a wide variety of materials. I like the SS 316 as it is quite stiff for its size, very corrosion-resistant, and bends well without cracking. It can be silver-soldered as well as welded. I do recommend some sort of bypass or shear cutter as the chisel point ends from bolt cutters are very sharp and snaggy.
Thanks Peter, it’s a great tip! :)
Very sharp! I really like the concept. Thanks for the look.
Useful for a hot pot stand a trivet. Always love your workmanship and dedication keep up the great work
Very inventive. You never cease to amaze. Great vid. thks
2:58 the smile of exitement for a cnc can be heard
Awesome proyect as always, your prolific work its just... Aaaa so nice to watch
Excellent video, nice project, script, camera work, audio and editing. Thanks from Colorado.
I love the spacer to set up the fence idea. I've always fought setting up a router fence. Not sure why this never crossed my mind,,,,,,, 🤪🤪🤪
A fine design, they came out awesome. Well done sir 👏
I would have loved to see you use the fly press. That thing is so cool.
He has a wonderful shop full of really cool tools. My jealousy is huge. But especially because of that fly press. Never saw one before but ever since, I've been on a hunt for as cheap of one as I can find. But then I have to figure out where to put one. Problems, problems...
It really is cool and when I make more of these I’ll definitely incorporate the flypress. :)
First time I've seen one of your videos. I'm not familiar with Kumiko (except as a Japanese women's name ☺) or welding, but I'm hooked!!! I'm mesmerized by intricate patterns of any kind, and the amazing panel you fabricated fascinates me. Thanks for not only creating it, but also for showing us how it's done. New sub! 👋🏼🙋🏽♀️✌🏽
Damn I've never thought about just putting a rug over thing you cut so it won't fly away. That's a great idea. I hope i don't forget it.
Another spectacularly awesome Kumiko project! Keep them coming!!
Hope your place wasn't affected by the floods by the way.
That is so cool! Turned out pretty good!
congratulations for the work sir Pask it was a beautiful piece a geometric shape of perfection
The green and orange on the board (or even canvas) would be art I’d buy. Great project.
Very impressive job. Thanks for sharing the video. You were mentioning a CNC machine and I was thinking about it just a few moments before you mentioned it.
Unless you have an expensive CNC (2000 USD or more) I think that making the grooves with a (palm)router is much faster. I was very interesting to see how you skinned the nails. I learned a lot again. Once more I'm impressed by your ingenuity and patience.
That looks great Pask!!!!
Great film. Very cool project. Nice to see makers trying new ideas. Mahalo for sharing! : )
This project would work really well with a CNC and routing an aluminium plate with grooves instead of wood. Aluminium doesn't weld to iron, so it would be reusable for at least several times.
Also, really great to see a master carpenter do well with a welder. I am a welder and I do okay with carpentry but nowhere near as well as an actual carpenter. I wouldn't mind getting a project plate like this into one of my BBQ smokers I intend to finish someday, it would look great to see one of these kumiko plates when opening one up before inserting the food.
This would be so cool to do on something like a side table or nightstand! It turned out really well!
Very nice piece. I admire your creative ingenuity.
Ooooooooo. Wow, dude, I love your style as a maker. I wanna to try that with tig and stainless. You always do such fun and beautiful projects. Quite alot of careful work that took. If ever I attempt it, the jig itself will be the trick. Really interesting!
I could see this with a bronze coloration--brilliant work as always.
I think it looks amazing. Great job thanks for sharing
Well done Neil! With a little tweaking, plus reviewing some of the excellent comments, I am sure that your next try at this will be fantastic! 👍👍😉😉
this is awesome! love the geometric projects
Looks good to me. I was thinking it would be a really nice looking door grate on a wood stove. Great work as always.
That would make a nice trivet for your kitchen. Love this!! Stay safe and well!!
That turned out really nice!
So close to one million!!! Congratulations 🎉
Great project! Looks great!
You pick the most tedious projects to do! Great job.
That turned out great!
Thanks Neil, cheered me up during my COVID and depressed isolation suffering.
Looks great, well done. Keep up the awesome work my friend. Take care
that looks like it would make a really cool outdoor side table or plant stand!
just seen your video 11/03/22
being a welder of some 40+ years, my first comment is great job,
weld splatter spray dose work and it looked like you put enough on. BUT! once you have welded near it, it stops get burnt off, so if you welding lots of welds close together then you need to let it cool a little and respray over again.
things like this take a lot of time and effort, but at the end you have something that no one else has and you can look proudly at it knowing I made that.
and in todays world of "cheap throw away things" something this size would cost a lot of money because of the time it take.
made some fun things out of metal just for fun and the love of metal working.
Really nice result there dude 👍👍👍. For 'just an experiment' it looks great! Top job brother 👏👏👏!!! 😎
It's a really nice build, and oh wow, you are so close to 1 million subscribers! 👍
Its always awesome to see you try new things. Everytime your skills progress and I learn new things! I think you should try making kumiko with a mold. Your forge deserves more attention imo lol. You could use lead. Its not something that would get handled and not structural.
Very nice job. It looks great.
You have the patience of Job. Thanks for posting - thumbs up!
Came out great. Well done. I noticed you’re almost at 1 million subscribers. That’s cool too
Maestro ha quedado hermoso, es usted un perfeccionista y eso se agradece. Saludos desde España.🌞🥀🌻
Really turned out great
It looks great! By itself it would make a beautiful trivet!
This video will push you over 1 million subscribers. Early congratulations
Love way this tuned out
Pretty amazing well done man thanks for sharing
🤘😁 You should let it rust and use it in a yard art piece. Im envious! Great job!
Awesome work!
Beautiful project!
Really fantastic work, Neil! Nicely done! 😃
Just 2 fast tips you could use next time: connect the 2 boards (the fence and the other with the right size) with a piano hinge. It's a great jig even to make dados! (It's not my idea, but works great!) The second tip is to glue the nails into the template with just a little bit of CA glue... The heat from the soldering is going to dissolve it anyway. 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very clever and informative video thanks for sharing, keep up the good work 👍👍
Looking forward to seeing this in a future project. Cheers mate!
You did it! 1,000,000 subscribers!
Very nice, great job!
What a great idea and a very interesting video.
I wasn’t planning on going to the hardware store to buy nails and bolt cutters today…but here I go!
Amazing and inspiring as usual!
