- Making one of the most well known Japanese Joinery, the Kanawa Tsugi.
This joinery can be used horizontally to extend the length of beams.
It can also be used vertically to replace the bottom, rotten part of a standing post.
The wood in the video is Birch and Walnut.

Are there general rules of proportion of "lenght" of the joint, to the thickness of the beam used? During laying out phase?
On your joint, it seems it's like 1,5 (of thickness) on one side.
*EDIT* : I did some reading (The Art of Japanese Joinery), and it seems that the total length of this particular joint, should be roughly x 4 of used beam thickness ;). For those interested ;)
It's a relief to watch someone finally using a sharp Japanese chisel!
You've not seen any videos by Dorian Bracht? Mr Chickadee? Paul Sellers? ISHITANI? And a host of others ...
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 mr chickadee has the sharpest chisels I’ve ever seen. It’s almost like he doesn’t even need to hammer the chisel, it’s so sharp you can just push it through the wood
One of the most talented craftsmen with the most satisfying videos on UA-cam. Thank You.
Thank you for your kind words :)
これが日本の伝統技術。この工法をきちんと完成させるには、優れた刃物の技術が欠かせない。森林の多い日本ならではの工夫と鍛錬された高度な技術。This is the traditional Japanese technique. In order to properly complete this method, superior blade technology is essential. This is an ingenious and highly trained technique that is unique to Japan with its many forests and mountains.
I would LOVE to learn that type of joinery. As I near retirement age, I would truly enjoy creating wonderful pieces of art!
Sharp blades
Nothing stopping you.

Its not as difficult as it looks but it is tedious, people look at complex joints and think they cant do it or its to complicated. The main thing is marking it out correctly after doing that u just take your time and follow ur marks, obvi u get faster with practice. I have done a few of the impossible joinery techniques, and at first was overwhelmed by looking at it, and i was like i can do this, looked up how to mark it and took my time. Anyone can do it as long as you have patience, and not one of those brute force it type people. I also agree they are works of art, puzzles. The fact that all of these joints were used on homes and such is crazy. That is what fascinates me so much about the japanese culture. They have a level of pride in there craftsmanship that is hard to match anywheres else in the world. I am not saying others dont have a sense of pride just not as a large group of people like that. Master craftsman in many trades from knife and sword making to carpentry / woodworking. LIke some of there swordsmiths, I seen a video on it, some swords taking up to a year to complete.
You got it. There are a lot of places that can help. Here in Atlanta there is highland woodworking. In Savannah there's Mary May. In North Carolina THE Roy Underhill teaches in a small shop outside Winston Salem. The Japanese woodworker has Been strong in California. If I could give you a piece of advice don't spend a lot of money on tools. Frank Klause taught me years ago that a set of blue headed marples from Lowe's is more than sufficient. Pull saws work, frame saws work, back saws are excellent too. It's not the tool. There's no magic and steal. It's just time and practice that allows you to do good work.
God that’s so cool. I love the way its brought together with the wedge/dowel.
Love your work, and looking forward to seeing how much more you grow over the course of your career.
I'm pausing at 2:26 just to tell you that, as an apprentice woodworker, I've **already** learned a lot by watching your techniques. Cheers! ✌
初めまして、若い頃随分作りました、懐かしい「墨半分」マーキングのことですね、ゼットソー気になりますね、丁寧な細工です､日本の木造技術広めてくれて有難う御座います♪100％
嬉しいお言葉ありがとうございます😊
Such perfect work, congratulations! I could watch this for hours!!!
I have never seen that side-ways use of a chisel before? I think this is really wonderful, thank you for your video.
Thanks
In 9 minutes this person did a stunning joint with chisels faster than I can make a standard corner with a pocket hole jig! Amazing!
Probably took longer then that judging by the lighting in the video but looks like it may have only been because of the camera repositioning and when he was using the saw
Definitely took a few hours for this one piece.
This is possibly the most respectful way to tree wood. So beautiful and therapeutic.
Undoubtedly, simply, outstanding achievement. Thanks
Japanese woodworkers is on another levels! Even their kitchen tools is very sharp
Sharpest chisels I've ever seen, love the sound as it shaves off a neat strip!
That is a precision work. Impressive chisel movement. Keep it up.
thank you so much for these kind of videos, they have helped my outrageously for my major work at school!
That's great to hear 😊🙌
Wow, these joints are a work of genius. Thanks for sharing. :-)
I noticed that the grain direction is very important for smooth peeling of mating surfaces. 👍👍👍👍
Your videos are great, thanks for sharing ! I feel like many people (including me) would also be interested in watching the process of laying out the joinery.
Happy to hear that! Thanks!
That was awesome!!! Watching you doing it felt like a meditation!
Fantastic detail. Beautiful work. Thanks
Thanks for sharing close-up views of each step of how you prepare the surfaces of the joint.
Cheers! 😊
My 3rd video from this channel and I'm subscribing..
I really love watching someone that loving his job and sharing it to others so it becomes really satisfying!
Very impressive. I don’t think I will ever make a joint like that, but it’s satisfying to see it done. Thank you for posting.
I've been in the construction trade since 1987, this just blows my mind ! I wonder how many generations in his family has handed this wisdom down to the next ? This is exactly what we need to return to, traditional trades, otherwise they are already 3D printing houses now ! Robots will never be able to replace a hand crafted product ! We need to go back to traditional ways in order to move into the future ....
Beautiful work to watch....so calming!
Can you do a video on sharpening chisels? I don't think I've seen anything close to the shaving your are doing in this video. Really impressive.
That’s because he’s chiseling in very thin layer taking his time as you should.. and sharp blades
In addition to being very sharp and being made of good steel, the bottom of his chisel is likely perfectly flat and coplanar along both sides and at the cutting edge. It's a Japanese chisel, as you can see at 0:56, the bottom is concave in the center. You can also get western chisels to be as perfectly flat, but since you have to grind more metal, it's a lot more work if they aren't already flat when you bought them.
If the chisel is well-sharpened and the bottom is this flat, you can set the bottom on a flat surface and the chisel will cut the thinnest protrusions over that flat surface. This technique is called "paring" if you want to look up other guides. In general, you need to supply a significant amount of downward pressure to keep the chisel registered against your flat surface, but you need to do that in a way that keeps every part of both hands behind the cutting edge so you won't put the chisel through your hand if you slip. If you've got the money for it, this video is a fantastic intro: www.lie-nielsen.com/products/chisel-techniques-for-precision-joinery
wow, samuel davis guy doesn’t understand that it takes a very sharp chisel to chisel this thin. the reasons he says; thin layer and time taking has nothing to do with being able to chisel this thin without a sharp chisel. that’s the topic here, yet this gut barges in without understanding even what it is being talked about. quite a large percentage of population has no idea what they are talking about and this is a clear example. a tragedy.
‘how you sharpen a chisel like that?’
‘it’s because he’s chiseling thin and taking his time with his sharp chisel.’
‘...’
‘chisel owner, how do you sharpen your chisel?’
@@tizmon well I use a 1200 mesh whetstone or even sandpaper..and yea when I shave the edge of my line to level any dado surface or side (7:35) I go in thin layers... i make a living off of my work so it’s good enough for me. Sorry if I triggered you
@@samueldavis5895 I believe it is a sharp blade, but notice the dark petina on the metal, that is finely tempered steel. Not at all a coincidence that blade is sharp.
This is inspiring. I hope to one day be able to do this joint nearly as well.
Perfect - Thank you for sharing
You used Covid well! No wasted time. Good job Dylan.
Thank you 😊
Pure mastery of woodworking. Good job.
Thanks!
Lovely lovely joint!!! The square block, the calmp and the chisel as the simplest, but the most powerfull technic that i learned of japanese woodworking videos
Cheers! 🙌
True craftsmanship
Fantastic !!!
Sooo beautiful, bravo!
Great craftsmanship, worth seeing a few times, congratulations 👌.
A sharp tool and a firm hand
Fantastic ! I could watch whole day ! Especially when you slice off the wood...
Cheers! 😊
If you make tiktoks, you will be viral, it's amazing how you cut the wood
Really cool and unique. I kinda want to get into woodworking, been looking here and there into different techniques. Strong appeal with these.👍
Thanks for sharing. I'll put that book on my radar too.👍
This is not joinery. This is art!
The tools used are so sharp. Maybe that is where my skills are compromised. I need a tool sharpener. I still don’t think I could accomplish such technical excellence within my life’s time. The Japanese Artisans are supreme.
I made one of these in college it took a couple of hours, admittedly it was not as excellent as this one but it was my first and only time I did it and it was just fine
Japanese precision ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The name is enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉
Awesome work! I'd love to see that thing sanded clean
Just perfect thank you for sharing and thank you for being such a good teacher. ⛩️🎏🙏🏽
Excellent work!
Thank you 😊
Amazing 🤩
Beautiful
Gorgeous
I'm stunned... no, I'm flabbergasted. This, is amazing.
Haha, cheers! 🙌
amazing precision
Nevermind woodwork thats artwork outstanding
Thats beaitiful❤️
Is beautiful craftmenship 👏👏👏
That prescision😎😎😱
Vraiment du superbe travail, incroyable bravo
Excelente. Gracias.
Perfecto ensamble que admiro como aprendiz carpintero aficionado... espero aprender lo suficiente para hacerlo con paciencia y habilidad. Gracias.
Me ha encantado. Es una maravilla, transmite paz todo el proceso. Voy a animarme a probar el Kanawa Tsugi.
Great chisel technique using the square block to keep to your edges thanks
Cheers! 😊🙌
That was satisfying asfffff
Very very good, a great job, guy!
Thank you! 😊
I can really appreciate the artisanship of the joint - but can't imagine building a house like that (Japanese Joinery on all beams/supports)
They may last a hundred years, but it takes a very long time to cut each joint precisely and then put everything in place.
Bravo monsieur, du très beau travail pour votre assemblage et video que j'ai suivis avec plaisir. Merci !
This is soo underrated!! The quality of your content!! Thank you for these videos! 🙏🙏🙏 Releases all my stress helps me relax..Subscribed 🙏🙏 u deserve more than a million subs... Thanks again🙏🙏🙏
Happy to hear that!
Cheers! 🙌
@@dylaniwakuni 😇 Cheers!
Please do a video on what kinds of chisels you have and how you get them so sharp.
This lock is also used i every old farm in denmark. its called a french lock :)
Excellent.....
Thank u
Extraordinario.
Bonita unión, y muy bien ejecutada👌
cool hobby
Kerja yang tenang dan rapi❤❤❤❤
Meni sekeut pahat na euy!
Me impressiona tanta habilidade👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing! Shaving a milimetre off here and there.
That's craftsmanship.
This joint was used in the past in Denmark too.. but we called it a "French joint"
well-done ,
Estimado Sr. Dylan. Disfruto mucho viendo sus videos. Felicitaciones por su trabajo. En este caso me atrevo de comentarle que me parece que esta pieza es diferente en la punta de cada una de ellas, deberia ser una cara paralela al lateral, para que al insertarse forme una cuña de ajuste. La superficie que esta trabajando en 1:04 del video deberia ser paralela a la superficie de la mesa de trabajo, es decir paralelo a la superficie exterior de la pieza, formando de este modo un angulo de ajuste con la parte plana conica. Un cordial saludo
Demasiado hermoso.
What is this joint used for? Where can I apply it? Superb workmanship! An example would be good of where I can use it. Thank you
You should rename this channel to ASMR Japanese Wood Working.👍
I wish my Stanley Bailey chisels were that sharp
So this was what was going on behind the scenes at the Nichihonzan MyoHoJo Peace Pagoda in Milton Keynes UK. We see the finished products, but did not see how they were made.
excelente
Are they obsidian chisels lol. Great skill, I enjoy your videos, just subscribed
I really want one of those chisels
Is the hole in the middle also wedged? Or only the pin is wedged? Great show!
The locking piece is tapered but is the hole also tapered?
Good way to keep the pieces in a straight line along the length!
Beautifully precise joinery! Curious what wood are you using?
Thanks! The wood is Walnut and Birch
better than a machine could do
That is some beautiful work. If I may, what would be the purpose and use of this joint?
This might be too late but I wanna give an answer, if you do this joint on a large piece of wood it would really strengthen it. Most Japanese architecture have some kind of joint technique they have used in the past era, just look at those wooden temples they built. Standing strong till today despite all calamities and earthquakes. Also since they are not joined by nails, one can easily detach the joints for moving or fixing
I am vary curious about the way you do the marking. I use a sharp knife.
I cannot understand how can you do such precise marking right from beginning.
That’s one sharp chisel
What kind of wood do you use. Normally if you'd try something like this Wood would splinter all over the place. Usually tis gets you tearout for Days.
Ferfect.....
I really want to give this joint a shot but, how do you lay it out?
Absolutely amazing, I'd love to learn more
This guy shows how to lay it out. He's doing it in rough construction with a circular saw, but the principal is there. I'm going to try one too!

If this joint were to be right in the middle, and the beam supported on both ends and a load placed more or less in middle, on the joint... in which orientation could the joint hold the most load before failing? I have seen another video of yours where this joint is put in a vertical beam/post, but when the joint is horizontal, is there one obvious way to put it?
Great video. Thank you. Can you share a layout drawing with dims please? Many thanks
