The name of the chisels is Tsunehiro. Unfortunately the blacksmith of these chisels has passed away years ago, so it's virtually impossible to get the same ones.
The quality of chisels matters a lot for sure, but if you want to bring out the full potential of your chisels, you must acquire proper sharpening skills. If you want to learn how to sharpen your blade super sharp, go to diyjapanesejoinery.com/course/. The first month is free.
The mystique around these is misplaced. Quality Western chisels are just as good, with the benefit of being much easier to sharpen for much longer than hollow-backed ones. I have some English ones that are 100 years old that hold their edge superbly.

What kind of wood is that? Kind of looks like oak but kinda doesn't
I think this guy just wanted to show off how sharp his chisels are. Kidding. Good vid.
For a beginner (like me) I really appreciate you posting 'tips' like this. Calling it a 'tip' is not doing it justice - it's magic. Much obliged.
Learned a new trick! Been a carpenter for over 25 years, but am always learning. Only been studying Japanese joinery for 5 years, so every piece of information I take to heart!
Having worked with wood for over sixty years, this is a great video and a beautiful example of how to use Japanese tools to make a near perfect joint. I would trade some of my chisels which have been handed down through the years and are kept razor sharp to have a few of those chisels that are being used. They have a deliberate concave area in the back but a perfect cutting edge which can be kept sharp on the front which is where the work is done. Thank you for posting a most excellent video and how 1.2k people give this a thumbs down I will never know, perhaps they don't understand tools and how to use them. Much respect from an old woodworker!
Eu ainda não entendi por que esses formões possuem esse côncavo. Mas meu palpite é que isso reduz o atrito da ferramenta na madeira.
As a musical instrument maker, it's fascinating to see cabinetmaking done to the same level of skill as expected in violin making. Great work.
cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott
Thank You, I learned something. I also learned that my chisels are VERY DULL ;0)
My chisels have teeth 🤦♂️
Me too
Beautiful! I really like "using the nature of the wood" as a part of the crafting process, not fighting or ignoring wood's properties.
Beautiful I recently started to get into wood working after taking apart and restoring some of my grandfathers old tools and while they are western style tools planes etc I find the Japanese approach to wood working to be very calming so I had to subscribe
very good english for a non-native speaker, and very understandable as well, thank you for taking the time to make this video
Thanks for your complements. I'll keep trying to improve my English hahaha.
DIY Japanese Joinery excellent video, and very inspiring for those of us who continue our studies! thank you from Canada
Ok
An excellent video; clear and coherent with no self-aggrandizing that is typical of many other instructional posts.
And I gladly welcome this wood expert to instruct the Orange Potus on how to properly speak English. A remedial lesson in logic and ethics would be appreciated as well.
Some things can't be fixed, unfortunately.
We have a saying where I live: staking up an old tree is useless.
I'm so glad to see this video. There are tons of craftman like you in China. They do pretty good at this, but they never have the chance to record the video to let the world know the beauty of this kind of art. Thank you! Great video!
Watching these Japanese craftsmen do their work is like attending a symphony, beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this information, it is very wise knowing how the wood will work by compressing fibers, addition of moisture and also warning NOT to bruise the wood permanently with the hammer. Please keep up this good work, and also posting more videos.
Jeeze he called that a gap in the joint, if only i could get joints that good
exactly: "A slight gap between the members..."
Me: "WOOOHOOO, perfect!"
I have to say, when I saw that gap I was like "ahhh, ya I guess you're right... Even having to hammer that together! But what can you ever do about that?", and then he's like 'THAT'S WHAT THE HAMMER WAS FOR.' and I pretty well heard the Inception noise and went a level deeper.
Wood is truly a wonderful thing to work with. I love it.
The real skill of this is the clean cuts of the timber which is achieved with the sharp tools the moral always keep your tools in top shape and sharp
I love to watch the old Japanese style of wood work, great video.
im not a woodworker but i love watching these videos
I've watched this so many times, it never gets old. Amazing.
I'm 65. What I've learned most in life is what I DON'T know. Unless you'reGod, you can always learn new and helpful things. Thank you for sharing.
Years of hard work and trial & error to make perfect practice. Thank you for your dedication to wood, I really appreciate you.
Totally love how Japanese build/rebuild structures using this type of woodworking joinery.
Round over flat.. Never knew that was the difference.. Thank you.
You can moisten wood with Glycerin and water (on tool handles I use ethylene-glycol, antifreeze) and it preserves the cells but it may have a visible effect causing the surface to take stain or oil finish differently, and that wouldn’t be desired on a piece of quality workmanship. Noticed the condition and quality of the chisels, saw, rules and squares, having tools that are in good working order allows you to focus on the close tolerances and careful fine trimming, and taking the time to keep everything in such condition is a job in itself.
Admirable work sir!
I thought that PEG 1000 was the substance to use, rather than the compound in automotive antifreeze. Can you explain?
Japanese carpenter's are awesome I love to watch these types of videos opens doors you would never see welldone great video brother 👍
That’s a bloody sharp chisel set!!
@Ken Fullman and now you think the chisels in this video are dull?
Thank you for doing this video, I learned much from your techniques. The tools are just that, tools in the hands of a craftsman. Not taking anything away from the quality of the tools. My Grandfather had a box full of high quality Japanese tools that he preferred over most of his his "American" made ones for fine finish work. Sadly when he passed, other of his Grandchildren snatched and pawned all of his tools. But please keep up the how to's and diy's there are many of us who learn from you and this makes us better at what we do.
That is just so beautiful to watch perfection in joining wood. Good tips to know as well. Thank you for sharing.
I am hooked on Japanese woodworking! Thank you for sharing and please make more Japanese techniques. We need more of this on UA-cam! Great Vid!
Thank you for making this excellent video. It is a great pleasure to watch your traditional woodworking techniques and they have been very instructive to me not only in the technique itself but also in the calm and deliberate manner of your work. I hope you will make more videos in the future.
I love Japanese carpentry.
I definitely like the halving joint; it seems to have good uses for the right application. I'll have to try it soon. Thanks for the idea! Have a good one!!
Brilliant!! Literally making a series of joints almost identical to this one…. Very helpful thank you
Your tools are so incredibly sharp! Wow!
I like how you measured the diagonals to check for parallelism.
The technique works surprisingly well with softer woods like pine and cedar.
Checking flatness, rather than parallelism.
Beautiful.. I wish my chisels were that sharp.. Looked effortless..
There are videos of that happening too, and it's free and meditative. Make a "bench" you can have on your lap, while "watching TV" or something. Like when mercanarys are pollish-sharpening their huge Bowies on the plane on the way into a mission in movies.. :D
Honestly, some of the best wood working vids out there. Thank you very much ! Liked + subbed
Thanks for sharing in English. It was a pretty neat little operation.
your very good at giving a good explanation of what your doing and trying to achieved, very good carpenter...
TIP use anti freeze instead of water to make it swell up. the glycols will harden in place after drying- keeping the wood swelled forever
Yeah, I was wondering what would happen when the timber dried out again. Good tip
With no adverse effects to the “finish “?
Interesting idea
Hey dude. Can you please make more video's just like this. There are many Japanese woodworking videos out there that are awesome. What makes yours awesomer is your commentary and presentation of technique. I hope you can make more. Arigatogozaimashita.
Great video and explianation! The difference between a flat head and round head was new to me. Thank you!
I recognize your mechanical pencil; it's a Kuru Toga.
Amazing taste, sir.
I've known of using compressed fibers for watertight timber baths, tanks etc, but never thought to apply it to normal joints. I like this idea. Thanks.
Thanks for your feedback.
I would like to thank you for sharing your skills outstanding job I am a new woodworker looking for ways to get better I am so glad to have found your Channel thank you again
The bathroom shot is missing from the video - the one where he shaves with the chisels.
Thanks for these GREAT videos. Please keep uploading.
Actually this technology is called 榫卯 which is originated from China ( not Japan) and basic skill of a woodworker :)
Much of Japanese tradition is inherited from China. This doesn't make it any less valuable. They seem to keep old knowledge alive better than Chinese do, though.
The SamuraiCarpenter also explained this in one of his videos, but it's very nice to see a dedicated demonstration though. Keep up the good work! I like your videos.
Wish one day be able to get 50% of this perfection!
Great video! I've been watching Japanese woodworking vidoeos recently and I realize I've never used a truly sharp chisel or probably any tool. As much as the techniques impress me, the precision of the tools does more
I have seen this discussed for making waterproof boat seams. Lightly hammer a wire into the wood, then plane down flush and assemble. With moisture, the area that had the wire pressed into it swells up proud of the surface and seals the join.
This is a great trick! I have struggled before with the problem of closing joint gaps. I will try this out. Thank you! :-)
I'm more impressed with the tools then the actual technique.
Just stumbled across your channel. Awesome videos keep up the great work. Cheers from Canada.
Truly enjoyable to watch
I am looking forward to more videos, very nice explanation ! Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
I’m more of a six-inch rusty wood screw and a wad of filler guy but I can appreciate this.
The precision happening here is next level. I can't do that with my power tools. :/
One trick that works really well for exacting joinery is to cut just shy of the line with a thin kerf Japanese saw blade. Then re-cut with a thicker blade to hit the line. Often an equivalent European blade or a coarse Japanese saw can be used to enlarge the saw kerf to exactly hit the line.
I love Japanese woodworking tools.
It's a shame they are prohibitively expensive.
Suggestion: learn to enjoy the tools from your own culture, especially vintage tools that are often unwanted and can be picked up cheaply and restored. ;)
You know Jesus is fake right
? what does jesus have to do with expensive wood working tools
I don’t do any woodwork. I never might. But I loved the video, no clue why. Such beautiful work.
He can shave his beard with that chisels man. That's a mint arse chisels.
It must be like a dream to work with wood of such a quality.
Man, the comments here are worse than cancer. Can't we just shut up and appreciate the worksmanship?
Maurice go fuck yourself
I guess I was expecting something new & exciting.that simple joint goes back to Adam & Eve
Bit dramatic!! workmanship appreciated by myself btw
@@bobalex404, I think that an element of his technique that many may not have seen before is his compressing of the fibers. Also, watching skilled people work is very instructive to anybody who knows enough to keep mind and eyes open.
This, people, is ART ... real art! And SKILL!
Nothing short of beautiful, great work!
This is great! Thank you! I'd love to see some videos about tips for correctly using the chisel and planes.
Japanese PULL SAWS are an excellent tool for precision joints, It pays to buy the best, I know they are great as I have had four 'borrowed' and not returned over a six month period, such saws are hard to find in Australian Woodworking shops/suppliers too.This was a great display thanks !
I'm in Aust. have you found any at all?
Scratch that. I just found them at Carbatec...and Japanese hollow back chisels
I love Japanese carpentry, it seems much more like an art form than a trade skill, also I note that Japanese saws pull rather than push, which I find very interesting!
it links with there style of benches. Our saws cut on the push which links with a western style of bench (wood holding device)
I adore all forms of carpentry that involve no nails, like medieval european furniture which uses fitted wood and wooden pegs. Or chinese carpentry which I think the japanese used.
@@credinzel6996 Makes me wonder about medieval timber weapons like when massive wooden weapons like slings and catapaults which were used to assault a castle or stronghold how the hec did they acheive that???
Very nice chisel set
Very nice video.. i wish i have those sharp tools used in this video.
“This is a photo taken after 10 minutes”
*Show’s video*
Me: I believe him.
Very satisfying carpentry video to watch. Just wish I had more time to practice my passion.
Hello from Syracuse, New York. Love your video.
Beautiful work
This is sooooo much more difficult than this expert makes it look !!! Amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Right tools for the right job plus good knowledge and skills equals no more gaps.
I like it!! Can I borrow your sets of chisels please??😊
Good job...
Very good understandable Englis without blah blah, best Japanese tools.
beautiful work. thank you for sharing your skills with us.
This was excellent; a great option to employ. Thanks very much!
I love this. Thanks man. Love from Indonesia
I like how he understands the wood and works with itc
素晴らしいデモンストレーション。 あなたのスキルを共有してくれてありがとう
you make it look easy...but. great tips. first of your videos I've seen. I have subscribed just from this one!!! looking forward to exploring your posts
very nice. I'd love those chisels
Saludos desde Honduras Hisa, excelente tip. Gracias
Press fitting for wood...I love it.
respect for tradition
Great video. Really enjoyed the step by step guide... thank you.
#Japanese DIY: Thank you for your demonstration and explanation of this technique. This was a very good video, Sir!
Umm.. Wouldn't the gap re-appear once the wood dries up? Or am I missing something?
When he tapped the wood with the round face hammer he was compressing the wood, the moisture helped the wood to return to it's normal state. You would have to compress the wood again to get the gap again.
Not to argue and suggest hes wrong...But I bet If he would have applied a heated up clothing iron to a wet cloth laying over the area that was dented..The steam would have raised the wood grain up to where it was to begin with. I use a clothing iron multiple times each project and it shows results every time. I was still blown away by this video and what I suspect is an incredibly knowledgeable woodwhisperer. I shall subscribe. Happy Woodwerkin all!
Theres a guy on the youtubes called Samurai Carpenter who tested this and I believe from memory that once the fibres are severed, you cant completely fix it (might be wrong though). Also, in this joint, you cant really get an iron into the right area haha :)
You can do it that way but you may end up getting a rough surface.
You just saw the expert.
Have you? It might have been my master.....
Squeeky Ninja
Excellent Tutorial & Commentary. Thank you. You are a Craftsman
Very cool, I would have never thought of hammering the sides that go together and then wetting it to make the cells swell back into shape! It amazes me the details of Japanese carpentry. Its great to be able to see videos explaining this small details. Thank you. Would this joint be sufficient in its own, or would the pieces be separated and then glued together?
A few Nomi ;
Tataki (striking)
Tsuki (slick)
Maru (gouge)
Oire (bench/bevel edge)
Kinari /usu (paring)
Bachi (butterfly)
Umeki (dovetail)
There is more and yes some of it is confusing for sure.
just discovered your channel and i love it!! Thank you sir for doing this and i hope i can learn more... subscribed
The Japanese the deep respect I have, for very people's on Earth try to achieve perfection no matter what the creative endeavor is. I mean the best China on the market is Japanese made! It's a pleasure to watch you work Master.
Very clever technique, Thank you, I enjoyed your video
Thank you for watching. Please check other videos.
One can see that you are a master of your craft 👍
