Here are some examples of traditional wood joineries which are still used today.

For those interested in learning more or wanting to make joineries, I've listed some of my recommended books and resources in the description box. Cheers and happy weekends!

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. youtube.com/post/UgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9… 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.

Meanwhile, I'm proud when i can just get two 45 miter joints to go together.

I didn’t know I needed this content in my life but I’m sure glad I found it!

The perfection in those cuts must be laser spot on for them to line up the way they do. Just amazing.

Thank you for keeping this craft alive and for your recommendations on how to educate ourselves! Definitely will keep watching this channel!

I love working with wood, I've never seen joinery quite like this. No clue requires because the joins are so tight. The shape of the joins are so precise and even with expanding and contracting they won't move. This is why some of the oldest structures in Japan are still standing. I bet these were cut by hand with a Japanese saw I have one for fine cutting you get such a precise and accurate join.

My house is quite old and I admired the technique used in joining blocks of woods here. Learned today that they are called Kanawa Tsugi. Thanks Youtube for recommending this video.

I'd love to see Ron Swanson taking a class in Japanese Wood joinery.

日本は湿気が多く金属の釘を使うと錆びたり、また地震が多いため木材を一体化し強化できる「継手」の技術が生まれました。また、木が腐ったところだけを切り取ってそこを新しい木材で修復できるとてもエコな技法でもあります。しかしとても難しい技術のため、今は廃れ始めているのが現状です。 In Japan, the humidity is high and metal nails can rust, and there are many earthquakes, so the technology of "継手" that can integrate and strengthen wood has been born. It is also a very ecological technique that allows you to cut out only the rotten wood and repair it with new wood. However, because it is a very difficult technology, it is now becoming obsolete.

Such beautiful craftsmanship! Japanese attention to detail always makes things better!

Simple yet complex and beautiful

I have always loved technical marquetry using a round corner table with various colors of wood embedded in beautiful designs with mother-of-pearls.
-
All of these could have had a twenty minute video each, they are stunning. Great work.
-
Thats a machining level of precision, a really good materials and superb technique could do. Perfection

Thanks for your generous sharing of information, this is incredible.

No nails or glue required, just accurate measurement.
