Absolutely amazing video. Thanks to your videos i`m making some andon lanterns now. I`m not very good at it yet but i am having so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing all of these techniques with us Des!
Thanks EvulDali. Having fun is the best way. All the best with the andon. And remember, each pattern piece that you make will be better than the previous one. Practice, practice, and some more practice. Cheers.
Computer-controlled radial arm saws with their precision are normally used in Japan for this pattern. Manual radial arm saws can also be used, but prior marking is necessary and this has to be accurate. This would be extremely difficult and very time-consuming to manage with a sled on a table saw. So without the expensive radial arm saws, computer-controlled or manual, cutting by hand is the next best and fastest method. And the more practice, the easier it becomes.
kskdesign Absolutely! I've been looking into the radial arm saws that they use in Japan, and they are incredible. Unfortunately they don't make computerized radial arm saws in the us, and it's hard to find a manual one. I'm definitely going to be buying a manual one in the near future though. I love doing it by hand, and I've been getting lazy with my table saw. I need to get back to the bench and do some patterns by hand.
Hi, I would like to try kumiko building. I was wondering, before I start buying the books by Desmond and the tools necessari, if it is possible to buy hinoki or other appropriate wood types in Europe. I live in italy.
where can one purchase those 2mm or smaller chisels? I'e checked all the usual suspects and found nothing smaller than 3mm (and even those are relatively rare)
I bought mine quite a few years ago, so unfortunately I can't help very much. Try here toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/MS-JACH512.XX?searchterm=ms-jach512.xx for a start. You might be able to contact them for some info. Or do a search for "iyoroi chisels 1.5mm" If all else fails, you can grind the sides on a cheap Western chisel down to the desired width. I've done this, and while it's not the best option, it does work. Des

Love the aged hardworking hands
God bless you sir
What a beautiful work of art 👏
I could really see myself getting started on my own Kumiko journey!
Absolutely riveting to watch. Such delicate and beautiful work.
Amazing! Very interesting! Congratulations! 🇧🇷

That looks like I'll need some practice to get to this point. A lovely pattern.
This is a pretty complex pattern! Definitely has to be done with hand tools. This would be almost impossible with machines. Looks awesome Des!

Another great video!!! Thank you!
Amazing
Very nice. Thanks
Great . Health to your labor. What is the number of teeth per inch of the saw you are using.
The saw is a Nakaya EAKS kumiko saw, and it has 36 teeth per inch (D-210C)
@@kskdesign1 Thank you so much
are there penrose type patterns with five fold symmetry?
