@@3x3CustomTamar I must admit, when she said she was just going to simply use a handsaw to cut that angle I was fully expecting her cut to 'wander' about halfway through the cut, but NO....excellent cut Tamar! And thanks for taking the time to make something seemingly complicated, look simple. Name the cut?...how about 'Bridle Lap'?
Handsaw is a basic carpentry tool, it should be the first thing for one to learn how to use it. In my case y was kind of confused why she didn't do the whole joint with the handsaw and chissels. Anyway, excelent job. PS: look up for videos of japanese carpenters, that a whole other level of handwork.
For a table with 4: "half-lap bridle joints", it helps to remember that this joint has a 'right' and 'left'-hand version, and adjacent joints will have to be opposites, and diagonal corners will be identical. When I mentioned this "half-lap bridle joints" name to my buddy who had never heard of it before, it took him a minute to figure out what it meant, and he described it to me & made it perfectly, except for the dummy center filler, for which he suggested a round-over to a dimple to eliminate the 3 sharp corners (which actually looks quite nice, almost pillow-like). He also realized that all 3 pieces can be cut identically & together at once, so "2 cuts" is effectively 2 cuts TOTAL for each joint, making 8 cuts for the whole table, (not to mention all the trimming & planing & his unique 45deg dough-nut router work instead of the 45deg chamfer).

Tamar 1st love your videos and detailed explanations. The successes and failures alike, So relatable! So my son needed is going to Rose Hulman Institute for Technology as an Engineering student. During covid he was tasked to make a project. Starting with a Cad drawing and ending with a final product. We had to document each step. We used this joint (found on your video) to make an end table at each corner of the legs to the top, with a center live edge river pour. - I will send you a picture - This is 1st piece of furniture that i have made in over 20 years (since the kids came into the pic). It was a killer experience working with my son, making memories working on something together. Love that we will have this piece of furniture to help us remember the time. It also rekindled my love for wood working. Thank you for inspiring both. Since then I am have begun to build a wood shop in my office garage.

Not only am I impressed with the accuracy of your cuts but I am amazed with your reverse engineering skills. I might be able to make it through the joinery cuts with the table saw but only to meet my demise with the final hand sawing. Beautiful work. I’ve subscribed!
Awesome! It looks like you might be able to avoid gluing in the last piece by doing the half-lap operation last and doing more of a rabbet on the one piece and then hand-sawing off the remaining half-half-lap bit. Although just gluing the piece in is probably simpler in the end and it looks great. In any case, I was impressed by the accuracy of your hand-sawing operation at the end and the attention to detail in establishing the cut plane with a chisel first. The whole video sequence where you performed the hand-sawing was very dramatic--flipping the piece to finish at another angle, pulling the cutoff away to reveal a "ridge" of sawdust, and then blowing on it to reveal the perfect plane beneath!
My first time on this channel, and subscribed partially due to the hand sawing accuracy! After seeing everything else go so well, the moment I thought there was a ridge, I was like "one of us!!!!".... Then when it turned out to just be saw dust on a perfect and complex cut...well done!
@3x3Custom - Tamar I came here to find out how this could be referred to as "a 2 cut" project. I have no woodworking experience, so I assumed it was a reference to a trade process. Bruce A's explanation of setup & profile cleared it up for me. It makes perfect sense once you know the premise.

Congratulations This video is almost 2 years old, so I'm glad to see that you're still at it I have subscribed because I have an affinity for talent and skill.
Been wanting to build a table and thinking about how I’d do the joints for a solid and sturdy design. I’ve seen a few but this is unnecessarily the best, most unique and beautiful concept I’ve come across. Gonna try it out.
I don't know what it's called, but I think I would've tried to use that sliding jig that slides through one of the slots next to the blade in a 45⁰ angle and with the saw blade in a 45⁰ angle as well
Seems like a great way to quickly build a table frame from 2x4s, cut them down to 2x3 to get rid of the round, then two cuts on each corner for each end, stuff it all together, and done?
Okay maybe that was uncalled for. I have truly learned so much from watching you. You are brilliant and your detailed explanations on why what you are doing works and your reasons for doing it have taught me more than anyone. I can't thank you enough. It also helps that you are far more beautiful than any of your workpieces.
My God Hannah, you never cease to amaze me. I'm surprised that it took me a couple of years to run into this video. It's not creating the joint so beautifully that spun my head, it's figuring out the joint's anatomy by just looking at a photo. I am humbled and extremely impressed ... again. You really do have one of the brightest minds in our beloved community. Cheers!
When you make the final corner cut, you get three off-cuts that are tetrahedral pieces - aka triangular hole fillers, for free. No need to glue in an extra cube, as long as your kerf is on the deep side of the triangular edge (which leaves the off-cuts large enough to fill flush).
To be fair, if you look at the picture she got inspired by, it seemed the tetrahedral filler was a darker wood than the planks, and he used a medium stain on the end cuts. (or it just absorbed better/deeper)
@@jonm2416 People with knowledge are allowed to have discussions without gender being involved. You brought that into this thread, nobody else - and you used it wrong.
Cool stuff!! Did you notice that there is a cube-shaped void in the center of the joint? Yes, the center is empty. Your diagram, just before the red piece is added, shows it. Two opposite sides of the space are formed by each color.
As always, excellent work! Thanks for breaking down this joint into easy steps.. it seems much more approachable now. Stayed until the end.. bummer regarding the heat 😶
@@3x3CustomTamar actually as an engineer myself I wonder how strong this joint actually is as 2/3 of the stock is effectively removed. Looks nice though. Happy new year!
@@The_man_himself_67 As we all know Richard, the glue is stronger than the wood. The fact that you have multiple gluing surfaces that are creating an abundance of square inches of glue interface coupled with the fact that this combination has many 90 degree grain interactions would further enhance the joints strength, It likely is quite robust!
@@The_man_himself_67 That's also the normal proportions for a mortise and tenon joint. It should be just fine with modern glues as was pointed out by Larry Daniels.
Came here after watching the Stumpy Nubs video. I really really like this joint. I will try building something with it in the future. Best of all......it hides the majority of the chisels lines which is fantastic because I absolutely suck at hand chiseling.
I love it. Everything's great until you apply glue and then you mess it all up! Been there, done that...will visit it again in my next ww'ing project! LOL Nice job on the joint...pretty cool!
I would call it an ORTHOGOANL CHAMFER joint with my Industrial Arts background accentuated with mechanical drafting. Good project and demonstration, well done!!!
I am making Japanese influenced 3d modern wood art, have plans with measurements, but have no direction but checking out etsy wood makers to cut it. You seem very bright, have any advice of where I could get this done please? Anything helps.
I'm just a nerd and I can't see how the last cube could be fixed without glue or fasteners. Maybe the Japanese version is built with using a slightly different technique.
Watching you grow and learn as a woodworker is so inspiring to all of us, I’m turning 60 soon and wish I still had that passion 40 years ago! Can’t wait to see what you”ll teach me next.

I am delighted to have stumbled upon this video, I inherited from my parents a Chapo elm table with six chairs and I had always wondered how the assembly worked! The only difference with the model presented here is that the "gaps" are not filled by small cubes but simply left empty, the edges being simply softened. The set still has a great effect on the visitors despite its 45 years old, considering the prices I would be unable to afford it today....

Hello Tamar, this joint is called a Nodus-Knot. It took part in the german woodworking magazine and was shortly discribed in ua-cam.com/video/3RWeO65-xG4/v-deo.html from 1:30 to 2:55 (german language, sorry). They show some projects with the knot in the video ua-cam.com/video/_-UXLe7CSHE/v-deo.html from 3:58 to 5:10. Greetings from Europe, Tom
I heard a story once of a guy who does carbon fiber work and he carries around LOTS of baking soda and CA glue( they use it a lot for repair work on like airplane props etc ) and he went to a soft ball game in a prison yard ( like a community held league or something...don’t ask me 😂) and when the guards searched his car going out, they saw that white powder and they set off the alarms and the dogs had to come, the whole 9 yards 😂. This made me think of that lol
I made the assembly with square sections (see avatar). A little more complicated, two branches are identical, the third is different to avoid a "empty" at the heart of the assembly. Congratulations again for the videos, with you, the explanations are clear even for a French speaker.
And I am watching this with only a handsaw, a hammer, some nails, and a broken chisel. Anytime I watch woodworking from the US there's always a new tool that these guys use
There's no reason you can't do this joint with nothing more than a ryoba (a Japanese-style saw with both crosscut and rip sides) and a chisel narrower then the slot, along with marking and measuring tools. It won't go quite as quickly, but with patience and care you can get it as clean and as tight as anything you can do with a large, expensive suite of power tools. If you need to dimension your stock, a plane might be useful - but you don't need a Lie-Nielsen jointer plane or anything, a yard-sale/boot-sale Stanley #9½ or similar with a bit of a tuneup (OMG, more work - how will anyone survive it?) will more than do to clean up the sawn surfaces. All it takes is effort and the will to do it - people were doing all of this and more long before power tools were a thing.
Hats off to you for thinking this through. It looks extremely intricate and that makes it a great look for woodworkers. Clearly most of those that have viewed this have zero interest in trying to do it.
Re: " After analyzing it a bit...". "A bit"? Are you kidding? I would have spent a week wondering how that thing was made, and then given up. Congratulations!
I made it up out of 20mm square pieces of wood using offcuts to get the dimensions of the gaps exact. It helped me get my head around this joint and also to figure out how the left handed version differs from the right.
The joint is a through mortise and tenon joint by default. It doesn't matter how you got to there in the process, it only matters after assembly what it becomes.
jeremiah fletcher we must’ve had the same shop teacher! I was taught it’s called a “3way bridal” too. But in Japanese books it’s called something else.
Guys are always impressed with gals with such mechanical skills. the prior video to yours was a guy making a bed frame with a similar approach. I recently have seen guys build pickup truck campers doing some thing similar. except they just glued longer pieces to shorter pieces.. Thank you for reinstilling my faith in the USA.. Keep up the great work.
It's called "The Castle Joint". I highly recommend the books: A Manual Of Carpentry & Joinery by J.W.Riley 1905 and Cassell's Carpentry & Joinery by Paul Hasluck 1908

It would make the basis for a really nice glass topped coffee table. Maybe some contrasting wood for the center cube bit. Cutting the bevels would be slightly tricky of course, since you'd be doing it with an assembled table frame so sawing at inconvenient angles, perhaps
@@Agamemnon2 Absolutely. It would look great but, I would prefer a Lexan or other "plastic glass". I've seen too many breaks in glass (windows, tables, mirrors, etc). I've been cut by exploding tempered glass. Thankfully, it was tempered and only required a couple stitches. If it were float glass, it could have been really nasty. The problem with plastic is it will scratch. Danged if you do. Danged if you don't.
@@RalphSampson... Tempered glass is incredibly hard to break unless the edges of the glass are exposed or you're impacting it with a lot of force concentrated on a tiny point or you've got a two hundred pound person trying to use a wide span of it as a stool. And if you were injured by "exploding" tempered glass then something was happening that was entirely unreasonable. Tempered glass normally just shatters and gently falls to the ground when broken. To get it to break so violently that it sends pieces flying fast enough to injure someone the glass would have to have been under an absurd amount of stress. All of those are problems with stupidity, not with tempered glass.

Seems like a great way to quickly build a table frame from 2x4s, cut them down to 2x3 to get rid of the round, then two cuts on each corner for each end, stuff it all together, and done?
the problem is it's only 1.5 so you would have to cut it down to 2.25 which takes away some of the "chunkiness" that makes this look so appealing
Okay maybe that was uncalled for. I have truly learned so much from watching you. You are brilliant and your detailed explanations on why what you are doing works and your reasons for doing it have taught me more than anyone. I can't thank you enough. It also helps that you are far more beautiful than any of your workpieces.
My God Hannah, you never cease to amaze me. I'm surprised that it took me a couple of years to run into this video. It's not creating the joint so beautifully that spun my head, it's figuring out the joint's anatomy by just looking at a photo. I am humbled and extremely impressed ... again. You really do have one of the brightest minds in our beloved community. Cheers!
Glad you liked it!
The "triple handshake" is what I'm calling it.

I think that would be a great joint for a coffee table, especially in a house with little kids running around
When you make the final corner cut, you get three off-cuts that are tetrahedral pieces - aka triangular hole fillers, for free. No need to glue in an extra cube, as long as your kerf is on the deep side of the triangular edge (which leaves the off-cuts large enough to fill flush).
Stop mansplaining....Yesss! I always wanted to use that word. (I've been watching too many feminist cringe vids)
To be fair, if you look at the picture she got inspired by, it seemed the tetrahedral filler was a darker wood than the planks, and he used a medium stain on the end cuts. (or it just absorbed better/deeper)

Love all your UA-cam videos no loud music playing in the background and you clearly explained 👌
Cool stuff!!
Did you notice that there is a cube-shaped void in the center of the joint? Yes, the center is empty. Your diagram, just before the red piece is added, shows it. Two opposite sides of the space are formed by each color.
As always, excellent work! Thanks for breaking down this joint into easy steps.. it seems much more approachable now. Stayed until the end.. bummer regarding the heat 😶
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. And yeah.... it really stinks in the winter....
@@3x3CustomTamar actually as an engineer myself I wonder how strong this joint actually is as 2/3 of the stock is effectively removed. Looks nice though. Happy new year!
@@The_man_himself_67 As we all know Richard, the glue is stronger than the wood. The fact that you have multiple gluing surfaces that are creating an abundance of square inches of glue interface coupled with the fact that this combination has many 90 degree grain interactions would further enhance the joints strength, It likely is quite robust!
I can relate. No heat in my garage. While it is attached, I mostly rely on layers. Only a few more months of cold weather.
@@The_man_himself_67 That's also the normal proportions for a mortise and tenon joint. It should be just fine with modern glues as was pointed out by Larry Daniels.
Absolute respect for this carpenter.
Came here after watching the Stumpy Nubs video. I really really like this joint. I will try building something with it in the future. Best of all......it hides the majority of the chisels lines which is fantastic because I absolutely suck at hand chiseling.
The “Wait, how does this fit together?” Joint
Ha
I love it. Everything's great until you apply glue and then you mess it all up! Been there, done that...will visit it again in my next ww'ing project! LOL Nice job on the joint...pretty cool!
I'd call that joint Fred. It looks like a Fred kind of joint.
Thank you.

“Yes.”

There is no such thing as too many clamps for a woodworker.

Also, it's called an "interlocking tenon joint" It is Japanese in origin and does not require glue or fasteners. very strong
Thank you for the most intelligent response
Of course its Japanese because awesome!
Yes there are many joints the Japanese have developed so are really amazing !
I am making Japanese influenced 3d modern wood art, have plans with measurements, but have no direction but checking out etsy wood makers to cut it. You seem very bright, have any advice of where I could get this done please? Anything helps.
I'm just a nerd and I can't see how the last cube could be fixed without glue or fasteners. Maybe the Japanese version is built with using a slightly different technique.
Watching you grow and learn as a woodworker is so inspiring to all of us, I’m turning 60 soon and wish I still had that passion 40 years ago! Can’t wait to see what you”ll teach me next.
☺️☺️
id love to see a video going over making load bearing structures that are constructed so the load pressing down on them holds the structure together more, a load bearing structure like a table that is intended to and preforms better under intended load.
This reminds me of the type of neck-tie knot I used to rock when I wore a suit to work. I’d call it the Trinity joint after that knot.
Awesome video, I love how you're working at such a high level but also are really relatable and inspiring.
Glad you like it!

Very cool. Artistic, strong, and not a rounded-over-around corner. Good job on figuring out how to make it.
I am delighted to have stumbled upon this video, I inherited from my parents a Chapo elm table with six chairs and I had always wondered how the assembly worked! The only difference with the model presented here is that the "gaps" are not filled by small cubes but simply left empty, the edges being simply softened.
The set still has a great effect on the visitors despite its 45 years old, considering the prices I would be unable to afford it today.... Pierre Chapo is a French designer who made this furniture in the beginning of the seventies.. ( I' m french myself)

Hello Tamar, this joint is called a Nodus-Knot. It took part in the german woodworking magazine and was shortly discribed in ua-cam.com/video/3RWeO65-xG4/v-deo.html from 1:30 to 2:55 (german language, sorry). They show some projects with the knot in the video ua-cam.com/video/_-UXLe7CSHE/v-deo.html from 3:58 to 5:10.
Greetings from Europe, Tom
I must say you are a very talented woman. I can really appreciate your love for the craft. God Bless
Thanks ☺️
I learned a joint like this jn school but the board cuts were facing inwards.
This looks way better.
I was thinking “the fancy coffee table” but seeing the other suggestions, “Two cut Triforce” seems like a perfect name.

I heard a story once of a guy who does carbon fiber work and he carries around LOTS of baking soda and CA glue( they use it a lot for repair work on like airplane props etc ) and he went to a soft ball game in a prison yard ( like a community held league or something...don’t ask me 😂) and when the guards searched his car going out, they saw that white powder and they set off the alarms and the dogs had to come, the whole 9 yards 😂. This made me think of that lol
most underrated comment 😂😂
I made the assembly with square sections (see avatar). A little more complicated, two branches are identical, the third is different to avoid a "empty" at the heart of the assembly.
Congratulations again for the videos, with you, the explanations are clear even for a French speaker.
And I am watching this with only a handsaw, a hammer, some nails, and a broken chisel. Anytime I watch woodworking from the US there's always a new tool that these guys use
There are some good videos on how to take a broken chisel and bring it back to perfection! :D See also "Grandpa Amu" (If I spelled it right...)
@@GaryBickford I bet they use more tools to do that ;)
There's no reason you can't do this joint with nothing more than a ryoba (a Japanese-style saw with both crosscut and rip sides) and a chisel narrower then the slot, along with marking and measuring tools. It won't go quite as quickly, but with patience and care you can get it as clean and as tight as anything you can do with a large, expensive suite of power tools. If you need to dimension your stock, a plane might be useful - but you don't need a Lie-Nielsen jointer plane or anything, a yard-sale/boot-sale Stanley #9½ or similar with a bit of a tuneup (OMG, more work - how will anyone survive it?) will more than do to clean up the sawn surfaces. All it takes is effort and the will to do it - people were doing all of this and more long before power tools were a thing.
I have a hunch this joint is but one of many joints made in the Japanese traditional woodworking called Kigoroshi.
It resembles the tsugite joint, but three way
Hats off to you for thinking this through. It looks extremely intricate and that makes it a great look for woodworkers. Clearly most of those that have viewed this have zero interest in trying to do it.
Thank you for your video, I was directed here by Stumpy Nubs who said you made this really cool joint. I love watching your vids. Enjoy that new shop.

hi bro best way to create the trifecta!!!
I made it up out of 20mm square pieces of wood using offcuts to get the dimensions of the gaps exact. It helped me get my head around this joint and also to figure out how the left handed version differs from the right.
The joint is a through mortise and tenon joint by default. It doesn't matter how you got to there in the process, it only matters after assembly what it becomes.
Maybe a 3 way mortice and tennon 👍👍👍

Haha! Totally is
It would make the basis for a really nice glass topped coffee table. Maybe some contrasting wood for the center cube bit. Cutting the bevels would be slightly tricky of course, since you'd be doing it with an assembled table frame so sawing at inconvenient angles, perhaps
@@Agamemnon2
Absolutely. It would look great but, I would prefer a Lexan or other "plastic glass". I've seen too many breaks in glass (windows, tables, mirrors, etc). I've been cut by exploding tempered glass. Thankfully, it was tempered and only required a couple stitches. If it were float glass, it could have been really nasty.
The problem with plastic is it will scratch. Danged if you do. Danged if you don't.
@@RalphSampson...
Tempered glass is incredibly hard to break unless the edges of the glass are exposed or you're impacting it with a lot of force concentrated on a tiny point or you've got a two hundred pound person trying to use a wide span of it as a stool. And if you were injured by "exploding" tempered glass then something was happening that was entirely unreasonable. Tempered glass normally just shatters and gently falls to the ground when broken. To get it to break so violently that it sends pieces flying fast enough to injure someone the glass would have to have been under an absurd amount of stress. All of those are problems with stupidity, not with tempered glass.
Has my vote.
