I've been getting into timber framing these past few months and have a pretty ambitious project in mind. However, before I get started on that, I have to get moving on some beam horses that can handle large timbers and keep me from having to lift a 12 foot timber above my waist. With that being said, I made a semi-traditional set of Japanese style timber frame saw horses from some scrap wood. Five components all friction fit with no adhesives and no mechanical fasteners make up this incredibly sturdy set of saw horses that can double as a seated work surface. This video highlights some Japanese carpentry techniques like peening slightly oversized components, complex marking to ensure perfect alignment and center, as well as the order of operations for chisel work.

Man, I've seen many videos related to Japanese carpentry, but your videos are full of techniques! ...and, you take the time to explain! Thanx a bunch! Congrats for your videos! I feel I'm really learning!!!
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Nice video Chris! It’s awesome seeing you put your own style on TF! Those horses will come in so handy!
Horse AF
Enjoyed the craftsmanship and vintage tools. Turning new handles for my chisels and slick today. Really enjoy wood working!
Oh awesome! Thanks for watching. Would love to see your tools when you’ve got em looking gorgeous.
I made timber frame sawhorses much like these two years ago. They hold an amazing amount of weight, they are stable, and they have been very useful.
You've made some nice, solid saw horses and I think you will be happy with them. They will last for decades.
Nicely done. Thanks!
BTW: When you are using a pull saw to cut end grain, it is often helpful to lean the piece you are cutting toward you, rather than away from you. Then you will be cutting with the grain, not against it. Less of an issue with Cedar, perhaps, but with harder woods, this becomes more important.
Good to know. Thanks!
Cedar and Japanese tools. Absolute meditative job. I would do this all day for the rest of my life.
That’s the goal over here at least.
@@CowDogCraftWorks same here buddy. For me it's just a matter of convincing my customers they all need a timber frame house with cedar detailing. Doesn't always happen, haha
Yeah the cost is pretty gnarly too. I’m about to quote a client on a timber frame playhouse for her kids and she’s probably going to vomit when I tell her the amount.
Beautiful workhorses! Thankful to be able to witness your process 👊
Thanks Ryan!
Awesome work man! ☺️
My man! Thanks pat. Happy thanksgiving to you and yours.
That's a handy pair of Saw Horses!! Great Job.
Thanks! They’re still super useful. I take them with me when I teach from time to time. Because the set nests they’re easy to fit in the truck bed.
@@CowDogCraftWorks Perfect for working outside too!!
Late to the party, I really like the relative proportions of the saw horses. And mostly the height to accommodate working from the sitting positions. What is the overall length of the 6x6? I assume the overall height is about 18-22”? Thanks for the Japanese techniques as well.
So the two are actually different lengths but they’re in and around 40 inches or so. They’re 16” high.
Nice job! They look really useful.
Thanks! They should be hopefully.
Nice job.
Thanks. Still hella useful. I’ve got em on my porch and they’re getting tons of work.
"kigoroshi" - the name of the technique you're using; where you compress the wood cells, so they can expand later and make a tight-fitting joint is Kigoroshi.
As a first-time viewer I'm really enjoying the video, nice work!
Thanks! And thanks for the info. Hopefully I pronounce it right when I say it later. 😂
Great video Chris! I really appreciate you explaining what you are doing and why. When learning something new (and I'm certainly new to TF), the whats and whys as well as the hows really help!
Thanks man! I’m not much of a timber framer so to speak but if there’s one thing I do know it’s joinery.
Love it, went to watch the video you released today and realized this one had slipped through the cracks, so I watched it first! Besides the fact that it’s very clearly a really tight fit and then the re-expansion of the fibers mean it’s gonna hold on tight, does the lack of glue indicate any hope of disassembly at some point?
I’m sure if I whacked it enough times with a hammer it could come apart.
the one time its ok to rose bud your wood.
That’s what she said.
@@CowDogCraftWorks not exactly what i meant but hey what ever works.
In all seriousness I imagine you’re talking about how I wet the joint to cause it to re expand after crushing the fibers… KIGOROSHI. That all capped for no reason but I’m going to leave it. It’s a time honored technique in construction and I find myself using it now in furniture applications as well.
@@CowDogCraftWorks actually what i meant was when you were hammering the tenon instead of shaving it done like a peg joint. you were little by little denting the tenon. Like you when you hammer a nail and miss, it puts a small dent in the board which is not the desired affect. When my Dad had his shop he called it a rose bud. I didn't know that there was that much difference in eastern and western jointery until i saw your channel
@@anthonyvincent9990 yea that’s the Japanese technique called kigoroshi. You peen the tenon down and rehydrate it in the joint. It’s also helpful if you’re plugging knot holes with inlays.

Yaaaas
Use a pencil
No
I'll bite: Why is a pencil better?
(I have my thoughts on the matter; I want to hear yours.)
Use a pencil to make this comment 🤣
