Living in Japan, I don't see shoji much this days. It's a shame; it gives wonderful diffused light in a room.
Maybe you know this already but since it tears fairly regularly, there is also a real art in repairing it. Instead of completely replacing the torn area, they use shoji patches in the shapes of flowers or leaves. The repaired area then adds it's own subtle beauty to it.
This reminds me of Kintsugi, which if you don't know already, is a japanese technique for repairing broken pottery. Instead of trying to glue it back together seamlessly, they use gold on the seams to create a beautiful object! I like this concept, making it more beautiful be showcasing the repair sort of!
@@twuuwttwu I watched a piece on UA-cam that spoke about the concept of Wabi-Sabi - appreciating the aesthetics of flaws and imperfections in everyday objects.
@@lokeshdevraj I like this idea! Any link?
Oh I adore this! Thx
They make things better through repairing them. Like their broken bowls with Kintsugi. Where the cracks are all glued together with gold, it's so beautiful.
Use wallpaper glue instead, it retracts on drying and it applies a small tension on paper to make it planer
Great tip! Thanks!
Tapetenkleister?
mix wallpaper paste with white glue,..that makes it go ''eggshell',..then,..light sand with 120grit to make it go 'papier'.
I'd have used staples
You might think about dampening the paper with a mist. Has the same effect, and will certainly take out wrinkles!
That 'shoji ' paper was lacking in texture. You should be able to find something similar but with 'texture' , whether it's from petals, or the making of it.
I'd love to have one myself that way my cat could jump through it immediately.
I was going to say the same. One mental moment and bam, new door screen please. :(
You can make them out of white nylon fabric. Same effect, zero chance of them tearing.
@@EcoMouseChannel Cat claws beg to differ, but I like the optimism.
My cats’ claws would shred the screen in about thirty seconds.
@@EcoMouseChannel where would i get the white nylon fabric
Ich habe meinen Schülerinnen zur Vorbereitung auf eine Berufsinformationsmesse vor vielen Monaten deine Videos gezeigt. Jetzt haben zwei von ihnen Ausbildungsplätze als Schreinerinnen bekommen, auf die sie sich aufgrund deiner Videos beworben haben ! So toll 🙂
Wie schön! :) Ist ein toller Beruf.
Woooow! Das ist ja toll! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an die beiden!!❤️
Wow! Ich bin selber im 3 Lehrjahr als Möbeltischler, das alles wegen Laura!
Das is ja total abgefahren! :)
Laura Kampf das richte ich ihnen morgen aus, die werden ganz aus dem Häuschen sein ! 🙂🙂
I think my favorite thing about your videos, Laura, is that you can see the relatable sense of accomplishment on your face when you complete a project. Thanks so much for all the awesome videos you make. Can't wait to see more!
Always impressed by the little touches. The coverstrip being taken from the frame pieces give you the matching grain and knot all the way around. Highly, highly satisfying!
Alan Corcoran, this idea is exactly like the Ray Door sliding doors. Look them up. The creator made his first similar to this except he used a frosted shower curtain and it was a window to divide spaces. He made the sliding doors.

i love the shoji design. personally i use 3-5mm frosted glass instead of the paper. its much more durable you can not damage it by accident.
Another wonderful Sunday hug from Laura. 🤗
These doors have such an open and warm aesthetic to them. I would love to have a home with an entire section of Shoji walls and door.
What a lovely yet simple project! Maybe this is exactly what I need for my back room. Thank you for the constant inspiration!
I really enjoy these videos. I don’t do much woodworking or shop work any more, but it would be amazing to sit in someone’s shop, with the talent like Laura has, and just job shadow them for a couple days. Listen to ideas come up, watch their craft, problem shoot and just admire the talent first hand. 👍
This might be a really simple project at first glance but it's the execution that makes it special. Love the attention to tiny details like the matching woodgrain. Also 3:38 is pure genius.
A Bridgeport mill!!!!! This project takes me back to the 60s. Nicely done.
I love how you capture the little details in your filming style. Great project!
Exactly what I needed right now! Our new flat needs some sort of divider and I think we will go for a similar version. Thanks a lot!
Another amazing project Laura, I love your willingness to explore new materials and think the Shoji paper works really well for this application!
Amazing work. Love the chopstick/craft knife DIY purfler tool. Wow!
Watching you cut the pieces into the parts you want, is DEFINITELY satisfying. Whooooooo.
They're are reasons why I subscribed: to watch you build stuff and be inspired. I actually like watching you make stuff as I come from a family of artists/mechanics. You're awesome at what you do. Makes me want to build a folding wall desk/table.
So much light comes in with those doors. Very nice!
I’m always impressed and admire your aesthetic. Thank you
Another great Sunday because of your video . Nice trick with scalpel cutting paper.
Thank you Laura !
Beautiful! Zen out, Light in.
That was an awesome project! I've already thought of some projects I could do with the Shoji paper.
Nice!
Either a Shoji screen door (4:43), or a aileron for an enormous model airplane! Beautiful work (as if you do any other kind ;)! Heck - If nothing else, I’d watch for the brilliant cinematography and editing! Please keep doing what you do.
Awesome build, that offset cutting tool was ingenious! I will totally be stealing the idea for future projects.
+1 👍
Me too! I was thinking, "Why hadn't I ever thought about it through the years?"
The Japanese have a Wari-Keshiki, i.e. a splitting gauge, adopted from the Chinese that is totally adjustable for thickness and depth of cut. It's not much more difficult to build than a conventional pin or knife marking gauge. I imagine a luthier uses a similar tool.
That’s a really nice job! What fantastic light it lets in and looks amazing too. Always loved the Japanese style!
Another Sunday, another great video from Laura. Thank you so much :)
I wanted to know how a shoji rice paper looks like since I had ordered it for a room divider, and saw your channel, love your amazing work!
Excelente trabajo! Te felicito, ver el trabajo que haces es un placer.
Gaffa tape for the win. Next up: offset chopstick plasma cutter. Great work as always Laura. The screen looks stunning.
Simple yet elegant. Love the chopstick trick! 👊🏻
It don't matter what you do you're very good at whatever you do. Fun watching you do this stuff
Simple elegance, love these 👍🏻
You and your team are inspirational. Thanks for creating your videos!
Great job! Stretchable faux vinyl stain glass or vinyl window tint is real durable for another option and comes in many patterns and tints! eBay and Amazon both carry the rolls! Looks like a sun catcher when done! This is neat though too;) Also rice paper gives a more decorative look!
Simply and clean door, is beautiful, good job.
Have seen these in a traditional House . They run in grooves. The top groove is deeper then the bottom one so you can lift the frames up and out. Simple but ingenious. Love the video.
Original Shoij papier ist aus Maulbeerbaum fasern gemacht und eignet sich vorzueglich um Drachen zu bauen. Wenn du noch welches uebrig hast empfehle ich dir sehr einen Eddy Drachen zu bauen.(Ein oder zwei Liner)Leichte Fruhlingswinde sind ideal....und Hunde lieben Drachen.Thanks for the recognition Heart.
Beautiful and elegant. Love the way it lets diffused light through. I would end up putting a foot through it the first day.
All around beautiful production
Says so much about creating and design without words !
Ms Laura, I commend you on your shoji screen door. It looks very nice. We will keep our fingers crossed that Smudo does not damage such a pretty door. I have never seen a shoji door hung as you have done but I like your modern take on it!
Door looks great!
That through dado makes me feel so good!
I admire the understated elegance.
Beautiful and simple build. with some trick that i've never seen before, or even thinking about those trick like when you're using various tools.
Really glad to watch your video.
Thank you ao much
It's great how the light shines through it, great idea to use a door like this!
On a side note, that Bridgeport looks so pretty...
Yeah, she is a beauty :)
Deine Videos sind zur Zeit meine favoriten maker-videos in UA-cam. Sehr inspirierend und angenehm. Tolle Musik, keine nervende oder langweilige Kommentare. Und man lernt immer etwas. Heute war z. B. die Idee "Skalpell / Essstäbchen" meine liebling. Danke und Gruß aus Berlin!
Vielen Dank für das liebe Feedback!
Very cool idea Laura!
I also liked your off-set Scalpel idea too!
And, as usual, the best music accompaniment on the net!
Très beau travail. Toutes mes félicitations !
This was very calming, thanks.
When Japanese people glue the Shoji paper, they often use rice based glue. However, your job was so amazing 🤩
Really fine and beautiful. Thank you Laura
Looks nice Laura! I made two Shoji paper lamps a while ago, and the owner of the store where I bought the paper from ("Au papier Japonais" in Montréal, Canada) recommended I spray water evenly all over the paper, after glue has dried.
It worked super well ! It tensions the paper, which become very tight against the wooden frame, no sag whatsoever. He told me hair dryer can be used to speed up the process or simple let it air dry . Both methods worked for me. Hope thiis helps!
That's a really sweet door Laura! I realllyyyy like the idea of using the Shoji paper!
We love your videos! The way they're shot, and the great music you add, makes them so mesmerizing to watch! The projects are awesome too! 👍👍
Beautifully done!
I have been way over thinking shoji paper! Clean and beautiful work, Laura
Thanks my friend!
Cool! I been wanting to build some doors like this for years! Like bathroom and closet doors! Kool beans!
I love the door. Well done.
Great project and video. Music is on point. Thanks for sharing.
Love! I especially like that it lets light through!
Donna Neal that washed out light is always a great look.
I only look at two notifications: A message from my wife and a new video from Laura.
Great project. If you spray water mist on Shoji paper, Shoji paper gets tension.
Very Cool Door Laura!
Que placer es verte trabajar. Buen trabajo,
Love doors like that!
Looks amazing in the flat!
Wow this was amazing. Definitely inspired me to start crafting.
Excellent video and soundtrack, love it!
Like how it illuminates 😊👍👍👍👍
WHOA! That chopstick and scalpel trick is DOPE! Another great video Laura. I love the music in your videos too. 👍🏼
So many cool tricks in this video! I didn't realize you made the trim pieces with continuous grain until the end :). Awesome photography and storytelling!
Be liking the ongoing creativity of your works. I get the jest you prolly live with alot of your projects, Kudos for the fine work and the Knowledge They Work!
That looks so good
Great work, Love the video and the music!
Always enjoy watching your videos. It's so simple but I never thought of using the cutter with a stick to get an easy cut. Thanks for the idea 😂
Nice one! Hanging it makes so much more sense than mucking up the floor with trip hazards as I was thinking before I watched this.
Also, you're beautiful!
well done, nice touch !
Good job 👍
Very nice 👌
From France/Marseille
I really enjoyed the Precision of your camera work and handiwork 10/10.
So cute!!
Amo seu trabalho sou seu fã.
Awesome work Laura! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Very cool Laura
oeh nice! very cool doing this laura!
I watch many woodworking videos. Your videos are always top notch and mainly creative.
Those clamps are really cool!! =)
Chopstick + Scalpel... Brilliant idea!
Pretty awesome video. Love it. It’s nice to see how this was made with a lot of detail and care.
I will now point out a weak point in this built, which by no way is meant to be attacking the creator here. I love this video. Don’t get me wrong. Thank you.
One practical problem though, and you will only really realize this when living in Japan WITH KIDS!
How do you replace the paper when it rips, breaks or was destroyed by kids?
... See the problem? The way the second layer of wood was screwed above/onto the window paper prevents easy replacement of it. That’s why all/most households in Japan do not do this!!! Instead they just glue on the paper on the initial wooden frame and leave it like that.
Then, in case a child rips through the paper (for whatever reason) the paper can be easily replaced. Just tear it if, sand it over once and glue in a new paper.
Soooo, from a practical point of view from someone who lives in Japan with kids and has rooms with this kind of window paper, it is not practical at all the way you made it - in every day usage with kids.
But ignoring all of that: awesome built and I like it a lot. Great job!!!
And please correct me if I missed something and my comment doesn’t make sense. I am eager to learn. Thank you.
Edit: feel free to reply in German, as I am a German living in Japan - with Japanese wife and kids for the last decade. Vielen Dank.
Uh oh, Laura's got a Bridgeport!
Super nice. I had always what a door like that. Japanese style
So therapeutic!
Amazing diy, gonna try this...
I need this for my apartment .. so nice and practical.. super
Amazing. Thank you for sharing
Nice and creative, congrats !!!!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I always forget I have a depth stop on my miter saw. I should use it (more) for dados, rabbets/rebates and groves.
Fan. Laying that paper over and getting it ' crinkle free ' must have been a trial.
Love the wooden pokey tool you use to save your fingers when making long, narrow vertical cuts.
Great video. Music suits it. New subscriber here 👍
This looks so cool. We are gonna have to make this :)
Super cool as always 😀
Nice work!
