Samurai Woodworker Profile
As of 2021, I have 17 years of woodworking experience. The channel name "Samurai woodworker in Japan" is due to the fact that I am a Japanese kendo practitioner. By the way, I have a 5th dan in Kendo.
Awesome, I learned a lot by watching this and other videos of your channel! What are you using to lock de panels in place after sliding? I want to start making one but can't seem to find those since I don't know what they are called.
Thank you. This was a wonderful tutorial. This is a skill that is difficult to find tutorials for, and this was just perfect for our needs. We are a building an archtop set of double doors and will be building both the custom frame and the doors. Thank you for showing us the joinery and the strategy for producing a solid and beautiful result. And thank you, as well, for showing us the train going by! You are a remarkable guy.
Thank you so much for this video. I have seen double-sided shoji doors with the lattice visible from both sides. Could you please show us how to make them?
@@samurai-woodworker but the proper way, is a hidden mortice and tenon, with a draw dowel through it, will never come apart, unlike slating it and a bolt
@@samurai-woodworker I didn't expect the frame to be constructed like this. That is the real skill. Squares are hard enough to make square but circles......no. Is this considered kumiko or does that need to contain angles?
This time I used pine wood for this frame. This is because soft wood is better for cutting and shaving into rounds. I wish you the best and hope you can make a good one👍
Are you dividing the radius into 3 equal parts to cut the door frame pieces? And, how are you sanding the inside frame after glue up ? I want to try this method instead of laminating. Thank you
Yes, approximately three equal parts. The inside of the frame is finished with sandpaper. Finish by wrapping the same rounded wood with sandpaper. I hope you make a great framing material.
i have subscribed to you,my friend . you are very talented. thank you for sharing and putting spirit into your work. Here in America, quality like yours is rare. i try to have the same standards of quality and precision for the work i do here building and remodeling houses.
This is basically like www.youtube.com/@OldThingsNeverDie- but with wood and build from scratch. Really nice, glad I found the channel! Also really nice that everything is eyeballed, every angel is made with the simplest tools, very unlike the videos from German woodworkers I usually watch. And I have never seen a frame made with a fake miter (?? - is that the right word, I don't know). Unique I think.
The shoji screens are beautiful. I live in South Africa and teach the Japanese abacus, known as soroban. My new centre would look very nice with shoji screens, but I will probably need to find a good carpenter and show them this video.
I hope its not to late to to ask if you know other alternatives to the plane used to sharpen the bottem of another plane Or maybe info on the angle of the blade or other ways to do the task. Much love. Good day.
