I love how impossible it looks at first glance, then finding out the solution is very simple - or as simple as it could be if you're a master carpenter!
Any joint which joins a beam with a square cross section, and produces 4 identical faces is conceptually easy. It takes precission layout and execution, but the idea is simple enough.You could even make curlicue faces, although that would be a REAL challenge.

What I’ve learned from these joinery videos is that as amazing as the joints are, the real magic seems to be having the spatial awareness to plan out the marking lines in 3D
When someone actually make that joint with similar wood, so that the connection is actually impossible to discern, That's when you know someone is craftsman and not just construction worker
The dissimilar wood shows off the joint for demonstration purposes. Also please point out the part of this video that indicates that this woodworker is anything other than a craftsman.

I can't get over this. Awesome.
The brown one is Japanese cherry and the white one is akamatsu . Both are only available in Japan and if you want to importe them they will cost you a Lot
@@mzi6519 dang, well I won't be affording any wood from Japan, however pristine it is. Guess I'll keep working with Kāuri and Rimu for now, just a couple trees native to New Zealand. Who knows hopefully not too far in the future I'll be able to get my hands on some of that Japanese wood.
Edit: I had to capitalize Japanese my grammar sucks but the small j was annoying me.
If there's one thing I've learned about "impossible joints," it's that whatever it looks like is a lie.
Its called an optical illusion, magicians use them all the time this was a neat example of one
@@ronaldharris6569 always do amusing that usually the trick of the trick is pushing the boundaries if credulity.
The tricked watcher can't even conceive of the work that went into the staging of a seemingly simple trick.
A often it's about putting in a lot more effort than people would suppose anyone would invest for the result.
Magic I mean, not the woodworking.
Is a very beautiful joints, and that is the meaning with this joint
Og
@@asiastreets4032 and it is as strong as the wood so it's a good thing
Thanks!
Thanks for the super thanks!
The chiseling is pure ASMR
Bro same on 2x speed it is amazing
Yeah, it is kinda. I noticed that.
I felt so relaxed, this shit is entrancing.
It lowkey sounds like Perry the Platypus or keyboard clicking at times
*I love the sound of sped up wood chiseling.*
Wanna hear a metal version of this?! (surprised this has nothing to do with my metal music lol)
I actually use this vid to sleep to.

perry the platypus sounding ass
Kinda sounds like someone is doing a bit of bedroom woodworking lol
reminds me of a woodpecker which i guess is pretty fitting
yay 100th like by me
Me: That’s impossible.
Woodworker: I know what I’m about, son.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have
DELETE ALL PICTURES OF RON!
I call this a turf 'n' turf.
Your skill looks like a computer ❤
Amazing craftsmanship! I kept trying to wrap my head around the geometry of what you. were doing, let alone how you figured it out, and I got a headache. Ha ha. And then you slid it together from the side. Bazinga! You have an amazing gift. Thank you., Cheers.
Happy to hear that! 😊
Am i the only one who thinks that this is really satisfying? Both the sound and seeing him slowly chisel away at the wood
"slowly"... I wish I could chisel away hardwood at this speed with this precision. (Yes, I'm aware the footage is sped up)
This is actually insane. His technique is great. Extraordinary craftsmanship.
I don't know what's more impressive. The layout of the work or the incredible chisel work . Truly amazing art.
You’re telling me that shit just slides in
Hur dur das wat she sed
Think clean thoughts think clean thoughts think clean thoughts
That’s what’s she said
Lmao
Constipation
Wow I really enjoyed that! You're very skilled. It's nice to see people still hand-carving wood. Beautiful finished product..well done!
I think hand carving is used for very precise works, it would be very difficult with power tools
@@somethinssketchy2117 agreed. Granted, ever seen what they can do nowadays with chainsaws..wow!
That’s way more satisfying than the classic “satisfying” stuff
Ikr!
Japanese woodworking craftsmanship is second to none...💯☝🤫
The effortless Cheasling made the wood look like cheese
Man! Gotta give extra credit to this man he didn't use power tools 👏.
Mmmmm, impossible cheese.
Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese
mmm effortless cheas
I use this video as ASMR but I love the effort and passion you put in your job.
While you make this look very easy I wonder how many years of practice it takes. Needless to say wonderful work of great patience and dedication.
@Brandon S I can't build a piece of furniture as cheap as I can buy quality hand built stuff at my brother's auctions......drop leaf oak tables for under 50 bucks ??? It's sad..... antique buyers are dinosaurs....
I wonder how many hours it took to complete the joint
@@edwaynick5015 about 15 minutes and 27 seconds ;)
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo de pur bonheur. Bravo pour votre talent ! Un régal que d'observer vos gestes précis avec vos différents outils. merci pour le partage . Après ce visionnage nous pouvons avoir espoir en le bon sens de l'humanité.
me, who has never made anything out of wood and knows nothing about woodworking: "impossible?! Well, now I've got to see this"
How peaceful is to see that he works with classic 2 / 3 tools and doesn't use power tools.
15 minutes of Age of Empires 3 working and building sound effects at various playback speeds.
Japanese joinery is always perfection, amazing.
I've literally made the exact same thing.
But mines Brass and Aluminum, I couldn't imagine trying to do it in wood by hand haha.
Nicely done.
I'm going to 3d print one
This guy isn't a woodworker he's a craftsman.
He's a technician.
@@theharbinger3504 For the king of Persia?
How dare you slander a master.
watching this done by hand makes it more amazing.
Bravo. The precision of each cut is mind bending, and not a piece of sand paper in sight! 👏
Didn't see the thumbnail right away so at first I thought this guy would be rolling a massive blunt
Id watch both tbh
Same here
@MrCactus lmao
Same lmao
Same
Imagine building Noah’s ark with no electrical tools like this guy
And thats why noah is a metaphore
@Opecuted yeah, it’s getting the animals back where they belong that the tale falls apart
@@noneed4sleep64 or you know, the fact thats its not just animals that live on the planet, like bacteria, and plants
@@noneed4sleep64 you wouldn't be implying that those stories are made up are you? men wouldn't create stories to manipulate the behavior of the masses, what's the benefit of that? 🧐🤦♂️
@@ourtime-downhere6931 might as well belive in something, otherwise life is meaningless and theres absolutely no point in anything anyone ever does and you will go back to nothingness soon just like the rest
This kind of video heals my soul.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful craftmanship
You're easily impressed
@@JohannesVanDerStuyvebode Where did I say I was impressed ? I just find this beautiful
Cool stuff. I love the showing of the whole outside before any marking/shaping. It's fun to pause after seeing the 4 faces, and take a moment to figure out the possible inside shapes!
This was quite soothing, like ASMR with the visual equivalent added.
Though is it a good joint for furniture?
@cait4610 cait4610 but is it as strong of a joint?
I never would've expected him to do in manually
Every time i watch one of your videos(Today's sound track: Eyes of the World 3-29-90)i learn some small trick or technique which helps me to do whatever next project i'm working on. Thank you for sharing.
Happy to hear that! 😊🙌
We need to give that chisel the respect it deserves
Which one?
This is so fascinating. I'm not a woodworker or have any desire to but I love watching blocks of wood get turned into something beautiful
And that's definitely what she said
Like the most of us i suppose 😊
Amazing Japanese wood craftsmanship!
What I’ve learned from these joinery videos is that as amazing as the joints are, the real magic seems to be having the spatial awareness to plan out the marking lines in 3D
Is no one going to talk about how satisfing this is?
I know half of the time it sounded like machine gun fire a C-Ram or an A10 going Brrrrrrrt in the distance
nah
Did it make you tingle ?
When someone actually make that joint with similar wood, so that the connection is actually impossible to discern, That's when you know someone is craftsman and not just construction worker
Why not start with a longer piece of wood?
The dissimilar wood shows off the joint for demonstration purposes. Also please point out the part of this video that indicates that this woodworker is anything other than a craftsman.
@@radiodiffusionfrancaise1591 maybe i word it unclearly so you misunderstood.
This person is clearly an artisan, or a takumi (i.e. craftsman).
Now imagine ordering a woodwork to be done (be it as pillar or furniture), and you get this wood jointery, instead of 2 piece of wood being glued or nailed. By then you knew the person you contract is a craftsman
Besides his amazing skills and precision, the joint system itself is incredibly smart. Wow.
It is in fact an illusion, but one of absolute brilliance. This is what woodworking is all about. I couldn't hope to get something like this right if I tried it. Hat's off to you!
14:25 for the magic
Thank you
