    I live in a rented town house and had to place my power tools in storage. Kumiko lets me be creative without overloading the dust bin or complaints of the loud noises from the other side of the wall (one side is the landlady). It is a pleasure to see it becoming "main stream".

    That jig is brilliant! When ever I've seen people making Kumiko before, I've always thought that having so many jigs is just a good way of cluttering up a workshop and I really don't have room in my 8' X 8' workshop for that........ it's already over full as it is 😅 Condensing them down into 1 small jig is an awesome idea and makes the space issue a lot easier to deal with 😊👍👍👍👍

    I’ve never heard of the 65.5 degree corner. I only use 90, 45, 67.5 and 22.5 - in other words, increments of 22.5 degrees of keeping on halving 90 degrees.

    Hi from cloudy town!
    You're the only woodworker I know who treats the Japanese saw as a specialist tool, I can respect that. It does get quite old to hear the same "one saw is superior to the other for every application" spiel, while we all have both chisels and planes without exception, despite them essentially being just as similar as Japanese saws are to western. A plane is just a wide chisel in a jig after all 😉

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      right on. every saw is a specialist. some have a wider range then others, but they each have their spot where they shine.

    That Bridge City Joint Maker, beside being useful in Kumiko, would have been handy in making your jig!

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would have used it for that except for it would not extend up far enough to make the cuts on these. It only extends up an inch and a half or so.

    I was looking to remake my kumiko jigs as they went off due to wood movement, and I'm so glad you posted how to make them as you are one of my trusted sources of hand tool and woodworking info, but James, in my history with kumiko, I have used 67.5 not 65.5 as 22.5+67.5 = 90 so I'm wondering whats your opinion on using the 65.5, thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🤗

      I just worked through the night to make a beautiful kumiko lampshade for my daughter using James' instructions from this video. The 2 degree variance created a vortex phenomenon well known in Japan that caused the wood to catch fire burning down the entire house and street I live on. You wouldn't think that 2 degrees would make such a difference. Luckily my daughter was able to rescue the eyes from the ashes of her teddy bear, which she's glued to the underside of the bench that we now live under, staring back at us as a reminder to always validate the information you get from TH-cam videos.

    • @RaaghavWoodWorks
      @RaaghavWoodWorks 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ricos1497 I was asking James if what he had done was the correct way as I was not sure if you take 67.5 or 65.5, as some times there tends to be a gap in the kumiko if the angles go off which happened to me as my jigs moved due to humidity changes, I was wondering if we use 65.5 rather than 67.5, and with such precise work, these degrees matter an awful lot, would you call 88 degrees square (90) no right. So I was curious, have a great day 👍

      the most common patterns yes. but there are a LOT of patterns. 45, 67.5 and 22.5 will cover 90%+ of the patterns.

    What do you sharpen your planes to? I go to 16k now to get the results I want. Many people go lower and I don’t understand how they can get good results

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use a diamond plat that is around 1200 then hit the strop the refine the bur. To be honest grit only counts on wet stones. once you shift to paste, sand paper, or Dimond plates the grit does not mean the same thing.

    One of those angles is wrong you know, it should be 67.5 degrees not 65.5. It's 90-22.5, which is 90 minus half of 45.
