Just discovered your channel when I was looking to learn more about Kumiko. This is a really great video, clearly presented and well lit shots that make it easy to see what you are doing, thanks!
I'm glad you're taking up kumiko. The other woodworkers who have made videos about it have been very quiet, so it's good that someone is taking up the kumiko baton. Watching you shave that sapele it became clear why most kumiko is made with soft hardwoods, like basswood.
from those angles you mention at the beginning i reckon you're gonna make square kumiko. for triangular or hexagonal kumiko you'd need jigs for 15, 30, 60 and 75 degrees. BTW, i recognized square asa no ha, triangular asa no ha, goma and sakura. let's see what else i can recognize... ok, time to keep watching. 18:11 wouldn't that be easier with a wider chisel?
@johnmcgrathmaninshed thanks for the lesson. @PaskMakes piqued my interest in kumiko (he does great work!). Now thanks to your jigs I feel more confident in trying. That being said...I'm a bit confused. If I have 22.5 on my standard miter saw...can't I just use that instead of doing the trick with my speed square?
You've got to figure out how to make a jig where you can get the correct angles on a long strip, and then you cut the strip to the correct width to get the pieces. Way better than cutting each individual piece.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed I bet it did. I was watching the cut at the end mate. Would you get a cleaner cut by using the chisel in a slicing action? Eg start at the left side of the chisel and as you advance it you slide it over to the right side.
It was enough just to show. How much he talks and can't shut up! It would be better to sharpen your chisel, it cuts badly and it shows. But I put like for the video and say thanks to him. I needed to look and he showed. Well done.
Bro, you made it very easy, appreciates
Really great, detailed instructions. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
Really looking forward to the forthcoming projects. Many thanks for taking a look at this fascinating and detailed Japanese work.
No problem

G'Day Macca!! Bloody amazing work mate! You made these look so easy, i'll have to give it a go!!
Brilliant, John! Really fantastic work! 😃
Looking forward to see what you make with them!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful style of woodworking. Looking forward to watching your journey into this fascinating subject.
Treat yourself to a nice new set of Japanese pull saws John 😍😍😍😍 whilst playing the vapors i'm turning Japanese 🎶🎶🎶🎶😂😂😂
good one
Thanks
your editing and presentation has come along really well - might give this a go if I can think of a good application!
Thanks John

As always a great video John .
Thanks 👍
Amazing skill John!!!

Hi John. Great video, but curious as to why you wouldn't suggest using a shooting board. There's a lot less chance of tear out on the edges that way.
Would a Hex Drive Nut Threaded Insert be a better choice to resist the pull when tightening? I look forward to see how they work.
They would Dave but I didn't have any and you don't need a lot of force to hold the stop
I see Japanese Damascus steel chisels in your future.
Skip to 17.41 enough said. No way I'd lose my mind up in there.
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting John but far to intricate for me yet. Be interesting to see where you go with this. Tbh I’ve never heard of it.😁
What router and router plate are you using?
Its the Sauter router and lift
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed thank you. Keep up the great work
Umm, was your table leg throwing off sparks at the start of that resaw? Haha
It had an end of a staple in it! got a surprise myself

Say goodbye to the finger 🥴
😂
What kind of router are you using with the quick locking feature?
It's the Sauter router, I have a video on it, the quick release is so handy.

Far too advanced for me but very interesting 👍
Once you get going its not that complicated. You can but starter kits if you don't fancy making your own jigs.
It's not too advanced. Just give it a go and you'll rise right up to that level. It's pretty straightforward
