Thanks Frank! Yeah, and I dare to say that nowadays these are starting to revive, in a small amount dough, all thanks to www Me, personally I didn't knew 3 years ago for example :)
Thanks Eric! Yes, because I've filmed very crappy this time, and maple is not so visible when marked I've made that animation so people can understand what am I doing there :) Thanks for the feedback!
Makinjg this as I am making other Japanese joints inspired by my recent visit to Japan, Also built a Japanese style tool box to house my Japanese chisels. You site waas some of the inspriation TNX
if I didn't know any and watched this maybe I thought this art is by Sashimono craftsman. LOL. this one is a highlight to a woodworker! you are always awesome. and cool jig & tools !✨
Thanks Kevin! Yes, so small, errors are more visible. Also on the finger sides, I let it a little loose, when chiseling those half mortices the chisel bite more of the marking
Interesting! I've been thinking of doing just this - small Japanese joinery. I an just starting to collect the wood and tools. I was thinking of staining one of the pieces in cherry besides for contrast.
Nice work Adrian. Liked the step by step marking out with the line diagram superimposed over the video but I think a little bit of commentary would have made it easier to follow. Thanks for posting. Enjoy all your vids.
Thanks! Yes, the animation is mostly because marks on the maple were barely visible. And to make peps understand what I am marking over 1.5 minutes there :) Aaaa, normally I put commentary wherever something is not obvious etc, but here was nothing to say actually, the thing is just mark well and then chop off the waste, as much as perfect to the markings :) I was too wondering what to write in the process but couldn't find anything to say, sorry :)
Dear Sir, Just to watch the sheer dexterity in which you work the chisels into the wood ( looks like Tiger Maple???) & the intricacy of the complete joint is a real treat. I've always wondered if one could replicate to some degree the same using a router with perhaps the aid of jigs as quite frankly I have no hand skills to speak of unlike you. Being able to produce such high standard qualifies you in some ways as a Maestro, there is no doubt. very well done & look forward to some more amazing woodwork projects. Kind regards.
Thank you for your kind comment, as always! I don't which species of maple is this one, which Acer..., it is anyway European maple, harvested from Slovenia, probably a mountain maple. Just some parts of the board had those figures, the rest was normal grain. It is indeed a very nice wood, and very unforgiving when it comes to joinery if you don't cut it perfectly, you can see any mistakes at the end :) Probably with some electric tools and jigs you can achieve a joint like this, at least to take out the rough material, and tune it then by hand. I plan in future to develop more of these carpentry skills, specially for myself, to build a workshop or some house design elements, and I will probably use the help of electric tools too. Thank you again, all the best!
Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your courteous reply; if you're planning on doing your own house project using this kind of carpentry, that's something worth looking forward to. All the more if you intend to incorporate the judicious use of power tools. Kind regards.
Thank you! For now I plan just some design elements to a existing space, which will be the workshop. Hope one day to be able to build a little house in this manner :) All the best!
Dear Sir, Thank you once again for keeping me informed. I wish you well in all your future endeavours & shall remain subscribed in the hope of being notified of such undertakings. Kind regards.
you say you have no hand skills to speak of :) you dont have to start with a Japanese scarf joint. Start cutting tennons or fingerjoints. Today I practiced my finger joints for 8 hours and the last practice piece came out almost perfect. I felt like I improved throughout the day :) then move on to through tennons, dovetails and then attempt Japanese joinery. have a good day
Thanks Seth! This is the first I've made, is more for carpentry, I would love to use it full scale but don't know where :) In a couple of months I may be moving to a proper shop, small dough, but I was thinking to add some decorative beams with these kind of joynery, or at least to simulate it on the front :)
Adrian Preda I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I bought a new house, and it has a pretty big shop that goes with it, and I plan on making it very Japanese style! We might be moving into new shops at the same time :)
Fantastic! .. what would be a practical purpose for this kind of joint? The only one I can think of is for long beams in building construction, where you can't buy wood long enough. But for furniture, you can always buy wood long enough?
Try looking on amazon, I saw several books of jp joinery, for timber framing - carpentry. Cannot recommend you a specific one, cause I don't own it, but try to read reviews, look inside the book wherever amazon has that option
Would you know the name of the tool the Japanese use to help "cut" half-blind dovetails ? It looks somewhat like a putty knife. I see them push it in to make a clean edge on the pins sides.
+ Adrian Preda Hi adrian! I have question regarding this video, i would really like to make these small joinery projects, and currently still have not bought tools and want to start out basic with minimall tools, i think you use the miniature dozuki from ''Dieter smith fine tools'' right? that saw is perfect for these small joints right? And also a 3 mm japanese chisel? Thanks and hope you upload soon again :)
Thanks! No, just by myself, I've studied several pictures or clips to see how it is inside, then I've made a drawing in CAD to proportion it with my piece of maple, then thought a little how to mark it, then is just a matter of chopping of the waste :)
Thanks! yeah, looks spooky, but I never had an injury with the plane, is a lot safer then the chisels, from which all my fingers are marked :) specially in the beginnings when I've underestimated clamping the workpieces :)
Well, really, what are a few µm of skin compared to the result. I bled for less than rhat you know... like just leaving my chisels on the bench for no good reason. Just passing thrue, ooops!
I love Japanese joinery such a well thought out way of building things even before all the great electric tools ever came out.
Thanks Frank! Yeah, and I dare to say that nowadays these are starting to revive, in a small amount dough, all thanks to www Me, personally I didn't knew 3 years ago for example :)
I really enjoyed this quiet and relaxing video. Thank you for 6 minutes well spent.
Thank you too for watching! I'm glad you find it interesting!
I love the way you demonstrate the marking out on the animation.
Thanks Paul! Glad you like it! Took me more to make that than the actual joint :))
Beautiful craftsmanship as always
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this one, it might be my favorite video of yours. The animations make a complicated and small process easier to understand.
Thanks Eric! Yes, because I've filmed very crappy this time, and maple is not so visible when marked I've made that animation so people can understand what am I doing there :) Thanks for the feedback!
Makinjg this as I am making other Japanese joints inspired by my recent visit to Japan,

Brilliand and precise!! Well done Adrian
Thank you Mik!!!
From a fellow woodworker, I salute you! 🫡 Your workmanship is awe-inspiring!😮
Very nicely done, as always its fun to see your work.
Thank you Troy! I appreciate it!
if I didn't know any and watched this maybe I thought this art is by Sashimono craftsman. LOL. this one is a highlight to a woodworker! you are always awesome. and cool jig & tools !✨
Thank you! :)
Very precise, and excellent work.
Man that's an awesome joint! I thought I knew something about joints but I am learning I have a lot to learn! Thank you.
Thanks Robert! Is not so hard as it looks 😁 With a little care is very doable. It was my first this one😁
Very nice work. It takes great skill to work with small highly detailed projects. Well done!!
Thanks Kevin! Yes, so small, errors are more visible. Also on the finger sides, I let it a little loose, when chiseling those half mortices the chisel bite more of the marking
Great video! I would enjoy a miniature Japanese joinery series. Long term project idea: Miniature Japanese temple!
Thanks! There will be something similar, soon, I may call it a temple :)
Very neat job Adrian!
Thanks Stavros! 👍
cute mini tools I love these beautiful tools n nice job.
Thank you!
Amazing joinery! Love it.
Thank you!
Fantastic! Really wonderful Adrian!
Thank you Franco! Glad you like it!
Adrian, that's just well done! Nice fit!!
Thank you Patrick! Glad you like it!
Very nice and an awesome joint
Thank you Jake! Glad you like it!
I’ve been enjoying your style of videos and that’s a really cool joint!
Thank you very much! I am glad to hear that!
This is amazing work. Thanks for posting.
Thanks also for watching!
Interesting! I've been thinking of doing just this - small Japanese joinery. I an just starting to collect the wood and tools. I was thinking of staining one of the pieces in cherry besides for contrast.
That is really cool! Really nice locking mechanism. Good luck with your future workshop too!
Thank you very much! Hope so will be more interesting projects here
Arrrgh! I’m hooked! Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Excellent work Adrian! That's one heck of a complex wood joint.......... :)
Thanks Steve!
Very fine work!
Thank you!
Stunning!
Thank you!
Nice job!
Thanks Felipe!
Seus trabalhos são obras de arte.
Obrigado Marcelo! :)
That's working at another level,thank you for sharing your work with us,all the best to you and yours (-:
Thank you Ron! Glad you enjoyed!All the best too!
When you're a carpenter in medieval Japan with too much time in winter...! But well done!
Haha true! Thanks!

Lovely, congrats! Yes, me too :) That's why I've bought a japanese house build book some time ago, and plan to study more :))
what book?
LOL, for most of the video I thought I was watching Joint Venture by Dorian Bracht ^^
Love these types of videos
Lol, Dorian is level 9999 :) I'm just fouling around :)
You're on the right path for sure :D
Thanks :D
Hehehe
Fantastic! .. what would be a practical purpose for this kind of joint? The only one I can think of is for long beams in building construction, where you can't buy wood long enough. But for furniture, you can always buy wood long enough?
Thanks, sure, these are carpentry type joinery. You can add also in a furniture some design elements like so, the only limit is your imagination :)
I see this as beams too. Long horizontal supports for roofing.
Nice joint Adrian. Good job.
Thanks man! Let's japanese beam your shop :)
Uros, I'm going to make one but without the hole in the middle so I don't have plug it with sticks afterwards. (shalim se)
Michael Coceski Yeah top much work with those sticks ;-)
Really cool... Are these types of joints also used in house constructions?
Thanks! Sure, mostly in carpentry, or if you wanna make a mini one and put it on the shelf like me :)
My dream is to built a house on my own.. I want to use Japanese style and joineries.. Any advice on that??
Try looking on amazon, I saw several books of jp joinery, for timber framing - carpentry. Cannot recommend you a specific one, cause I don't own it, but try to read reviews, look inside the book wherever amazon has that option
Great!.. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look in to it..
Jolie travail.
Merci Xavier!

Thank you!
foarte tare frate ! 👍
I love that most of your work is small! Is that the first time that you made that joint?
Thank you! Yes, first time :)
".....Brilliant Senor Adrian....!"
Thank you!
Wow, simply stunning! Where did you learn the method of layout used to make this type of joint? Did you find it in some book?
Thanks! No, just by myself, I've studied several pictures or clips to see how it is inside, then I've made a drawing in CAD to proportion it with my piece of maple, then thought a little how to mark it, then is just a matter of chopping of the waste :)
Absolutely incredible. Thanks so much for sharing!
Nice one! Seems familiar but somehow different :) Try the Miyajima tsugi next in that size, I would love to see it :P
Thanks! That crazy sharp one? You're so mean 😁😁
Adrian Preda hehehe ;)
is it a cutter? 1:31
That's a Veritas marking knife
awesome, as always! question: wich handsaw is that you are using?
Thank you! Hishima if I recall is the maker of that 120mm dozuki saw
respect!
Thank you Vincent!
dude thats crazy! :D:D
Thanks man! Yeah, sunday evening musing was :)
Hi, what marking knife u used?
Is a Veritas marking knife
May I ask where you got those tiny brass sash cramps or did you make them yourself ??
Hi, I have updated the description with a link with similar mini clamps I have
Que maravilla!!!!!1
Thank you Emilio!

Привет аркадаш можно и по русски
Ah, sorry, sounded turkish your name :))
Um the Scarf Joint originated in Ancient Rome and, as much as it pains me to say it was perfected in France. Japan did not invent all wood working.
Great joinery, but I cringed at how close your finders were to the iron on your shooting board. Eeeeeeyy!
Thanks! yeah, looks spooky, but I never had an injury with the plane, is a lot safer then the chisels, from which all my fingers are marked :) specially in the beginnings when I've underestimated clamping the workpieces :)
Well, really, what are a few µm of skin compared to the result. I bled for less than rhat you know... like just leaving my chisels on the bench for no good reason. Just passing thrue, ooops!
I yelled at the screen.
