    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

      I mean yeah, buuuuuuut I just noticed for the first time that the wood is wet around the dovetail. The nice chip he gets is only because the wood is soft and wet. You can tell by the color, and the fit (it doesnt dry out and shrink) that it's not soaked.
      I wish he'd come out and show wetting it to get that chip, though.

    Lightly tapping the edges with a hammer before fitting the two pieces together is a great idea. The fibers should bounce back a bit making the joint even tighter. Never thought of that. Very cool

    The slight compression with the hammer at the end, how it will aid the fit and swell back to tighten the joint is genius. I know wood behaves like that, but what a fantastic way to utilize that principle.

    • @dylaniwakuni

      Not that difficult with good water stones or ceramic stones, you just need to go to a minimum of 6000 grit (12,000 to 16,000 is nice) . The type of wood used is highly relevant to this type of joinery. Excellent skills help. Fun to watch.

    Thank you so much for showing this. It is fascinating the small differences between Japanese joinery and "western" joinery. In every example I have ever seen of western joinery, the faces of the cuts are always cleaned up by paring in from the end grain. paring across the grain is a revelation. It is these little differences that I find most interesting.

    A tip for those who don’t know: aside from having VERY sharp chisels, the way he performs those beautiful end grain slicing cuts is by moistening the wood to soften it. Use the water sparingly so the wood won’t swell excessively.

    Amazing work-the "snick" of the chisel as you begin to trim the joint is one of the most satisfying sounds in woodworking. There's sharp, razor sharp, and snick-sharp! The small bit of flawless joinery simply demonstrates proper technique in an understated way. From the "snick-sharp" chisels, to guide blocks, to patient small lead cuts, to the "hammer-chamfer" there is so much content in these six minutes. Thank you!
