      This all fits together so nicely that the Japanese had to go and create a whole *different* set of problems for themselves. Everywhere in the country a tatami mat is exactly six carpenters' measures long. It's just that in half the country a tatami is 182 centimetres long, and in the other half it's two centimetres different.
      And yes, the carpenter has a laser level for making sure the roof is straight above the right spot on the foundation -- but on his belt he hs the measuring stick handed down by his great-great-great-great grandfather, from back in the days of the wandering samurai, because the folks who make the lasers haven't calibrated them for which half of the country's tatami reign locally. If he'd been asked, his grand^5 father would have said, "Yes, of course nobody will be able to trust the lasers. What if the batteries are dead. I'll just make sure the little buggers all respect their tools and pass them on down."
      And if you imagined for even a microscond that the line dividing the two sizes of tatami is the same line that divides 50 hertz house-current from 60-cycle, no, no-no, no-no-no-NO, that's a fever dream. Take two aspirin and the afternoon off.

    Wow, this takes me back. I remember my grandpa showing me how to do dovetail joints by hand when I was just a kid. He'd sit me on his workbench, old chisel in hand, and guide me through each cut. Said it was a dying art. Never thought I'd see it done so well on UA-cam. Your precision and craftsmanship is truly impressive! Keep up the great work, you're keeping the art alive.

    • @TheToledoTrumpton
      @TheToledoTrumpton Рік тому +17

      @Will Bluefield I'm not entirely sure that glue is necessary. If it were a table you could hold a top in place with vertical dowels, and the dovetails wouldn't slide out. Given this kind of precision there would be no looseness so the glue wouldn't really add anything. In fact if you wanted to move it and you don't glue it, you could drill out the dowels, slide it apart, and then reassemble it for the cost of new dowels. The glue would just make a mess and not provide much benefit
      Suggesting he needs glue might even be considered an insult for all I know! 😛

    In addition to this method, it is said that there are more than 200 other techniques for joining wood to wood in Japan.
    The advantage of this method is that it does not use metal, making it resistant to rust and other age-related deterioration.
    Hōryū-ji in Nara Prefecture is the oldest existing wooden structure in the world. Researchers estimate that it was built in the late 7th century. The fact that it has stood for 1,400 years without collapsing in earthquake-prone Japan is a testament to its durability.

    One of the very few wood joints that can take not only pushing forces but pulling forces as well.

    I've maintained for years as a professional carpenter that good draftsmanship and precise geometry in one's layout is the key to high-quality workmanship. And more skilled guys than myself have always reminded me how important sharp tools are too. As one who hardly ever touched a tool before age seventeen and always saw myself as more an intellectual type, I've learned that nobody's work is ever completely perfect, but that the higher the standard you set with the layout and planning and choice of materials, the better the work comes out, even from a guy like me who still after forty-plus years feels like I'm all thumbs at some point in every project. I strive for 98% perfection, usually feel satisfied with 95%, and no one else has to know where I came short....
    Plus I see this man uses a pen instead of pencils. Best upgrade to my own methods I've made in years was to start collecting free pens from the bank, and I haven't used a pencil in ages. One old boss's daily sermon (they all have one) was 'keep your pencil sharp!' Once I switched to pens, I don't have to.

      Interesting what you say about pens v pencil. Have you seen Paul Sellers videos. I have tried to emulate his dovetail joints but despite getting quite good at sharpening, the precision to get two pieces of wood to slide together so nicely still eludes me. Perhaps if I got one of those set-not-squares that this chap has.....

    I was soooo fortunate to have a friend make a bookcase for me out of white oak. What I didn't know he'd done was that he dovetailed every joint that he could. He only wanted to be paid for the materials. Somehow I think that bookcase will still be around for another 100 years the way that it's put together.

    👏🏼 You are a true master craftsman.
    Could you tell us what type of wood you are using? Hardwood or softwood?
    Would you post a video of your chisel sharpening routine? I would be a delight to learn more from you.
    Thank you so very much.

    • @markojovanovic9455
      @markojovanovic9455 Рік тому +3

      Judging by the chisel work, I concluded that this was hardwood. Of course, this is not oak, but in any case it belongs to hard wood species.
