Amazing Connect No Screw With Japanese Woodworking Joints Skills, Making Tensegrity Wood Structure 

Reminds me of the dragon thrones joints

🤍👍

This is true but Japanese building using these techniques are still standing for years and years the western way lasts for 50 to 80 top made out of just wood

what timber is this? both look nice for working

これは日本じゃないよ

the old man is clearly a vietnamese

​@@Roi-su8mo I've seen Indian and Bangladeshi carpenters do these too. Clearly it's not a Japanese only thing

​@@Roi-su8moExperience Man, congratulations and best regards ❤😊.

❤❤❤

いや、多分タイとか中国とかベトナムの人じゃないかな？

​@xxxKAWAUSOxxx I think the carpenter is from Vietnam.

Yep, definitely Viet Nam based on the bag design and the view

do you like it ?

Yes! It’s beautifully elegant. It gives the impression of a long architectural tradition that perhaps began millennia; if not tens of millennia ago.

@@kyleeames8229 this carpentry technique can be traced back to china. simple ones are millennia old, but it gained prominence during the han dynasty. Gustav Ecke's Chinese Domestic Furniture book was published in 1944. check it out.

Much like Ikea furniture, Japanese homes are destined for the land fill after a short lifespan.

yeah that's very common, most of us have seen that and more too I bet. It's just pretty common and not out of the ordinary of what almost everyone sees on most regular days.

@@ShawnWitty Chuckle, relax Shawn, I’m just kidding … sort of. I just finished watching a lengthy video about the nuances of carpentry benches the models of which are breathtakingly beautiful, surprisingly complex and frigging expensive - and are apparently essential to the craft - I’m 73 and find myself wondering how I ever built anything on my work benches. Now I didn’t ever say I have anything against workbenches, I’ve used one since I was in my teens crafting dashboards for cars, and I don’t have anything against the individual who built a workbench worth thousands of dollars. My point is *such workbenches are not necessary.* The amount of beautiful clear maple and exotic hardwoods that went into that bench I saw was really quite incredible but it is not a necessary expense for any woodworker. Ergo, as an illustration, H Carpenter’s workbench was nothing like those expensive workbenches yet he turns out very lovely timber joinery. Now, H Carpenter usually demonstrates hand tools but also uses power tools to great effect, albeit power tools that are about as far from exotic equipment as one could want. You seem perplexed by the word exotic … Lordy … RU-vid is littered with it and at one level it means more than is needed. At this point, let’s separate commercial production equipment, custom cabinet and furniture making and the home based amateur work. The first two use the best equipment they can justify to remain competitive - they don’t count here. The custom cabinet / furniture maker will probably do much more hand work simply because his/her customers want and demand it to be done that way. However, in his videos, H Carpenter demonstrates what can be done with a rickety bench, a hand saw, chisels, c clamps, a rudimentary leg vice and a mallet. To be honest I think this is closer to where beginners should start their woodworking journey, not with Festool, thousand dollar routers, CNC machines, etc. The more esoteric the machinery the further away one is from actually understanding wood. Indeed, my response is partly personal … for example, I cut thousands of dovetails with a Leigh Dovetail Jig, but it wasn’t until I began to hand cut dovetails that I really began to understand them. So, Shawn Witty, “that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

You just need tens of thousands of hours of practice or experience!

@@chuckw4680 Or tens of thousands of dollars to buy furniture made with no power tools!

You clearly don't NEED to, but this video sort of proves why all that fancy equipment is used by professionals in the first place

@@alanmonteros6432 ????????????? It’s used by professionals to make money.

True but it wouldn't work for many places TAG is used like joining floor boards or roofing panel OSB together.

That is what craftsmanship is about

Carpentry is an art. Art ---> artifice ----> to create something Craft and art are technically etimological synonyms

thanks you

That pencil tip is exactly what I needed, I was wondering why my fine mitres were not working out. That makes complete sense. Been using the big fat pencils

lol bs

Dentists do the equivalent of the graphite trick. They don't consider it "cheating".

I've seen a video of a gunsmith that uses graphite when machining parts to check the fit.

Locksmith here, graphite power has so many usages that you would never think off unless you see people doing the odd tips on videos lol

CALIFORNIA , U S.A ♥ love it

yes♥

Not just woodworking... It seems to me that EVERYTHING they do, they do it to near perfection.. I have SO much respect for their culture and their way of life..

yeah

@@HCarpenterhow do you start learning to make Japanese woodworking joints?

Yup. There's no need to make that neck so narrow. The only reason it's made like that is so it looks nice for this video.

This joint appears to be more about looks than strength. The "wings" of the star part would shear shear off if it came under any tension, and since the remaining point is essentially a backwards dovetail, there's nothing left to hold it together. The two stubby tenons to the side serve no purpose at all. There's an awful lot of time and skill invested here in a joint that ends up not being worth much.

😂

Сушником:_криставина..😢

Or not

Paint? PAINT?....OMG NO. Stain maybe.

Enamel laquer type paint would look great built up and finish well to highlight the joinery

Wow, lovely. Thank you so much.

Thought the same thing, and the more precise the fitting the more things like expansion could cause it to break.

Same here. It probably would be stronger if the lower part of the cross had the shape of d dovetail.

Japanese culture has a thing where if a building gets destroyed or damaged, if it is rebuilt using the same methods that were originally used for it, it is basically the exact same building. So there are specialty shops that still use these methods specifically for the use on historical structures. Japan has, historically, not had access to very much metal and what they did have had to be more heavily refined to be usable compared to most other parts of the world, so methods like this were developed for building making.

For want of a nail, an art was born.@@Dunsparce206

Faster and cheaper, yes. But not as earthquake resistant.

Those would be considerably weaker, but this is a decorative joint, it won't be as strong as a big dovetail or pegged mortise and tennon, and either of those are much faster and easier to cut. They won't look as good, but often strength and speed are more important, which is why you can find mortise and tennon joinery in thousands of timber framed barns all across America but probably won't find a single one of these even though each of those barns will have dozens of joints.

no corrosion and the same rate of expansion and contraction in the hot or cold weather.
