The thing I love about Japanese joinery is that it all has such an elegant, obvious purpose to it. This joint looks like it was engineered specifically for 2 cross beams to be supported by a post, and optimized so that the load from the top beam transfers some weight directly to the post instead forcing the beam underneath it to carry both its load AND the beam atop it, as well as having good lateral sheer strength by birdmouthing onto the beam beneath it, which is supported by the thicker tenon. Genius.
Always a pleasure to watch you create such wonderful joinery. I have learned much from your examples and I am trying to use them in my pieces as well. Thanks for all you do. Beautiful job as always.
I love seeing the joints you make. Eventually I will make my own although I believe they will barely resemble your craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Must have been an 'easy' one...! I got the distinct feeling that this one was approached casually. By no means a criticism, as it was still bloody perfect.
Very cool joint! I liked the camera angles as well. I noticed that you oriented the grain direction on all the pieces for maximum strength on the beams, which is a nice touch.
Another great video! M y wife and I enjoy them very much. Could you do a video specifically on how you do the layout and what markings you use. Thanks so much.
Was so happy to see another video. Beautiful work! Would love for you to publish a book some day with some basic drawing and proportions on these joints.
It's pretty simple. Just use crayon on a flat bit of wood to show the high spots. Hammering the lap is good, but use a rounded Hammer, as not to leave marks.
Impressive as always. I love some of the new camera angles and the close ups, but it did feel like a loss to not have the music throughout. I hope you are keeping well in such times, Stay safe.
@@DorianBracht Dorian, I am honoured that you remember. I finished at the furniture school in July '19 and have been working for myself since then. I was lucky enough that my parents allowed me to turn our garage into a workshop, which is where I now call my office. We live in the countryside, have a large garden, animals, veg garden, trees I've grown from seed... I sometimes laugh at how life has turned out. Only recently I completed an all joinery bunk bed. Still learning with every job I do. Cheers, Dorian, can't thank you enough for the content you share. You've been a huge influence.
I have finished the video. At the start of this i thougth that was a big square tenon. But now i see that is designed with excellent structural shape. Unfortunally i just can put one like
Beautiful joint! Is there a version that is secured-with peg or drawbore? I would really hate to glue such work. Is this just an experience/experiment, or is there a project this will be utilized?
This seems to be a "gravity makes it tighter" joint where if done right, shouldnt need glue due to the load the beams would be putting down on the supporting post. If you did want to use glue, you could easily hide a small amount on the tenon and nobody would ever know.🤷♂️
Sean, these joints (Watari Ago) are often secured with a square peg through the tenon and bottom beam which is draw bored. The top beam is often either left as a gravity/friction fit or can also be kerfed and wedged from the top in much the same way as a hammer head onto its handle. If done well, this can even be enough without the need for a peg at all.
Do you set your scribe layout lines exactly, or do you make them slightly smaller so that the pieces will compress the wood as parts are fitted together? What is the orange paint/chalk from? Another tool aside from a chisel that is not shown in the video?
Wahnsinn! bei der unteren Überblattung hast du den 45° schnitt gemacht und direkt ausgestemmt. Das war wohl nur möglich, ohne zu sehr auszureißen, weil du perfekt stehende Jahrringe hattest oder?
Schönes Video, Dorian. WOW, die Verbindung sieht klasse aus. Bin am überlegen, wo so eine Verbindung eingesetzt werden könnte. Meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach, würde ich auf eine Stützverbindung tippen. 🤔 Ich sage mal als Beispiel, bei einem Tempel. Die sind ja aus Holz und damit können die Längs- und Querverbindungen abgestützt werden. 😊 Aber Klasse Aufnahmen sind es geworden, auch die Makro-Aufnahmen sind spitze. Mir gefällt die neue Aufmachung. 😁 Wünsch dir eine schöne Restwoche und bleib gesund.
A beautiful piece, the wood looks like beech. Is it? I don't see the kind of wood in the description. Not only are you a master wood worker, you're also an expert video editor. Great work as usual
There seems to be a delay, you posted this 12 hours ago but I just got it in my alerts. Nice to see you back again! You've been missed. Everything OK with you?
Dorian it’s clearly obvious that you do NOT struggle with joining wood & there’s probably not one joint that you don’t like & haven’t done already. With that being said your rediculous skill set has to without question build a new workbench. Would love to see a compilation of joinery used in that build. Your precision doesn’t go unnoticed & must be put on display in something you can use everyday.
Why not try a few of the beautiful European connections. For a starter there is the oldish (1942) publication of Hermann Phleps "Holzbaukunst - Der Blockbau". Or is the grass greener on the other side of the world??
Great job Dorian, one of my favorite connection options in timber framing, great way to lock together a union of beams a post such as "Watari Ago"...
Thank you! Yeah, simple and clean :)

It is pretty cool, true. This construction method can sometimes be seen in old European timber frames as well.

Complimenti. Grandissimo artista, artigiano, maestro. Grazie con gratitudine!
Completely awsome, this is wood working at its finest
Thank you!
Very good video goes on so you're an amazing person🙌 because of the kind of work you do😗
Thank you!
Welcome back!

Thank you! I try to get the details right. Sometimes it escapes me though.
Awesome joint Dorian! Thank you.
Thank you!
Comme d'habitude pas de surprise tout est parfait Bravo
Google translation
As usual no surprise everything is perfect Bravo
Merçi!
Another great video! M y wife and I enjoy them very much. Could you do a video specifically on how you do the layout and what markings you use. Thanks so much.
Your work is amazing. I wish my joints were half as clean and precise as yours......
Thank you!
Was so happy to see another video. Beautiful work! Would love for you to publish a book some day with some basic drawing and proportions on these joints.
Thank you! I'm on it :)
That, my friend, is precision 😊
Thank you!
Precision at its best
Love it as always like the shooting style of video
Thank you!
Do any of your videos show the red crayon high spot marking process, and also the hammer and water step to close the joint gaps to infinitesimal?
It's pretty simple. Just use crayon on a flat bit of wood to show the high spots. Hammering the lap is good, but use a rounded Hammer, as not to leave marks.
Impressive as always. I love some of the new camera angles and the close ups, but it did feel like a loss to not have the music throughout.

Same. I also liked the edits where the video was sped up, but the work noises not.
Thank you very much!
The marking out alone was enough to impress me. Very jealous of your sashi/kinari nomi.
Thanks! How's the apprenticeship going?

Sounds great! Do you have an Instagram or something? I'd be interested to see that bunk!
what woods do you typically use?
what are a few examples of woods that are good for joinery and are not likely to split while chiseling?
Try poplar.
I was so thrilled to see a nee one of these! Love watching these. It's like woodworking porn......
Thank you :)
what particular building application would this joint be used, it looks interesting
Is the intersection of a column and two eaves, it’s scaled probably to a half or 1/3
훌륭한 영상입니다. 자주 놀러와도 될까요?
As good woodworker nesr of the line never in the line. I always like to see your videos

The lines are exact. No chance compressing Hard Maple 😅
The red color is a wax pencil on a flat bit of wood. It shows the high spots.
What does this type of joint do?
Joins posts and rafters in house construction.
Are you working with maple?
What would be a good wood for beginners to use?
Try Poplar, cuts great.
Wahnsinn!

Really tight one. Amazing sir. Will check out your affiliate links for a marking guage
That's me ordered a marking guage via your link, it wasn't much but hopefully you'll get some credit for it!
Awwesome, thank you!
good beam and Lucian chisel techniques..mantap
Thank you!
Good work. A large heavy workbench makes it very easy to work with. Is this a beech tree?
Hard Maple.

Dorian it’s me agai u have a joint up front sale ?
I can make you one if you want. Write me an email.

Jesus, look at how casual he became throughout the years...
complexity in simplicity.
Cool!

Hahaha, thanks. I'm still figuring out what I need for my workbench (workflow). When I build it, I will film it :)
i know 10 people that would've used pine and deck screws..
Carpenter vs. Woodworker.
Huge difference. One can be the other, the other only thinks they are...

You are so toxic. Go away and make something with your hands.
I will. I want to do all the joints, so yeah.
Today's joint is not impressing .sorry.
