For some time I wanted to try this famous Japanese scarf joinery, just to have it sit on my shelf, so I've made it as small as possible, 3/4" x 5/8" (20 x 16 mm), from a piece of maple. Mostly dimensioned to use the smallest chisel I have, a 1/8" (3 mm) one. I did the drawing in CAD, proportioned to maple's section, then measured various dimensions and marked on the maple.

I love Japanese joinery such a well thought out way of building things even before all the great electric tools ever came out.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Frank! Yeah, and I dare to say that nowadays these are starting to revive, in a small amount dough, all thanks to www Me, personally I didn't knew 3 years ago for example :)

I’ve been enjoying your style of videos and that’s a really cool joint!

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thank you very much! I am glad to hear that!

@jayejaycurry5485 5 месяцев назад

Interesting! I've been thinking of doing just this - small Japanese joinery. I an just starting to collect the wood and tools. I was thinking of staining one of the pieces in cherry besides for contrast.

@Pepperpot666 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this quiet and relaxing video. Thank you for 6 minutes well spent.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thank you too for watching! I'm glad you find it interesting!

@ww2736 3 года назад

+ Adrian Preda Hi adrian! I have question regarding this video, i would really like to make these small joinery projects, and currently still have not bought tools and want to start out basic with minimall tools, i think you use the miniature dozuki from ''Dieter smith fine tools'' right? that saw is perfect for these small joints right? And also a 3 mm japanese chisel? Thanks and hope you upload soon again :)

@pauld9530 6 лет назад

I love the way you demonstrate the marking out on the animation.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Paul! Glad you like it! Took me more to make that than the actual joint :))

@troystaten5633 6 лет назад

@kennethjohnson9169 6 лет назад

Um the Scarf Joint originated in Ancient Rome and, as much as it pains me to say it was perfected in France. Japan did not invent all wood working.

@DorianBracht 6 лет назад

Nice one! Seems familiar but somehow different :) Try the Miyajima tsugi next in that size, I would love to see it :P

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks! That crazy sharp one? You're so mean 😁😁

@DorianBracht 6 лет назад

Adrian Preda hehehe ;)

@tbone7193 3 года назад

Would you know the name of the tool the Japanese use to help "cut" half-blind dovetails ? It looks somewhat like a putty knife. I see them push it in to make a clean edge on the pins sides.

@SirBenJamin_ 6 лет назад

Fantastic! .. what would be a practical purpose for this kind of joint? The only one I can think of is for long beams in building construction, where you can't buy wood long enough. But for furniture, you can always buy wood long enough?

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks, sure, these are carpentry type joinery. You can add also in a furniture some design elements like so, the only limit is your imagination :)

@Slovenianwoodworker 6 лет назад

I see this as beams too. Long horizontal supports for roofing. Nice joint Adrian. Good job.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks man! Let's japanese beam your shop :)

@michaelcoceski5442 6 лет назад

Uros, I'm going to make one but without the hole in the middle so I don't have plug it with sticks afterwards. (shalim se)

Great video! I would enjoy a miniature Japanese joinery series. Long term project idea: Miniature Japanese temple!

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks! There will be something similar, soon, I may call it a temple :)

@kookyflukes9749 6 лет назад

Nice work Adrian. Liked the step by step marking out with the line diagram superimposed over the video but I think a little bit of commentary would have made it easier to follow. Thanks for posting. Enjoy all your vids.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks! Yes, the animation is mostly because marks on the maple were barely visible. And to make peps understand what I am marking over 1.5 minutes there :) Aaaa, normally I put commentary wherever something is not obvious etc, but here was nothing to say actually, the thing is just mark well and then chop off the waste, as much as perfect to the markings :) I was too wondering what to write in the process but couldn't find anything to say, sorry :)

@dekeros-recreationalwoodwo6456 6 лет назад

That is really cool! Really nice locking mechanism. Good luck with your future workshop too!

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thank you very much! Hope so will be more interesting projects here

@MrDonkrypton 6 лет назад

When you're a carpenter in medieval Japan with too much time in winter...! But well done!

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Haha true! Thanks!

@SPUDMACKER 6 лет назад

Very nice work. It takes great skill to work with small highly detailed projects. Well done!!

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Kevin! Yes, so small, errors are more visible. Also on the finger sides, I let it a little loose, when chiseling those half mortices the chisel bite more of the marking

@sapelesteve 6 лет назад

Excellent work Adrian! That's one heck of a complex wood joint.......... :)

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Steve!

@SethsProject 6 лет назад

Super nice Adrian! I would love to get into some complex joinery :)

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Seth! This is the first I've made, is more for carpentry, I would love to use it full scale but don't know where :) In a couple of months I may be moving to a proper shop, small dough, but I was thinking to add some decorative beams with these kind of joynery, or at least to simulate it on the front :)

@SethsProject 6 лет назад

Adrian Preda I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I bought a new house, and it has a pretty big shop that goes with it, and I plan on making it very Japanese style! We might be moving into new shops at the same time :)

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Lovely, congrats! Yes, me too :) That's why I've bought a japanese house build book some time ago, and plan to study more :))

@eriaus 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this one, it might be my favorite video of yours. The animations make a complicated and small process easier to understand.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Eric! Yes, because I've filmed very crappy this time, and maple is not so visible when marked I've made that animation so people can understand what am I doing there :) Thanks for the feedback!

@robertbrunston5406 6 лет назад

Man that's an awesome joint! I thought I knew something about joints but I am learning I have a lot to learn! Thank you.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks Robert! Is not so hard as it looks 😁 With a little care is very doable. It was my first this one😁

@donfillenworth1721 6 лет назад

Arrrgh! I’m hooked! Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

@toolsconsumables7055 6 лет назад

Dear Sir, Just to watch the sheer dexterity in which you work the chisels into the wood ( looks like Tiger Maple???) & the intricacy of the complete joint is a real treat. I've always wondered if one could replicate to some degree the same using a router with perhaps the aid of jigs as quite frankly I have no hand skills to speak of unlike you. Being able to produce such high standard qualifies you in some ways as a Maestro, there is no doubt. very well done & look forward to some more amazing woodwork projects. Kind regards.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thank you for your kind comment, as always! I don't which species of maple is this one, which Acer..., it is anyway European maple, harvested from Slovenia, probably a mountain maple. Just some parts of the board had those figures, the rest was normal grain. It is indeed a very nice wood, and very unforgiving when it comes to joinery if you don't cut it perfectly, you can see any mistakes at the end :) Probably with some electric tools and jigs you can achieve a joint like this, at least to take out the rough material, and tune it then by hand. I plan in future to develop more of these carpentry skills, specially for myself, to build a workshop or some house design elements, and I will probably use the help of electric tools too. Thank you again, all the best!

@toolsconsumables7055 6 лет назад

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your courteous reply; if you're planning on doing your own house project using this kind of carpentry, that's something worth looking forward to. All the more if you intend to incorporate the judicious use of power tools. Kind regards.

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thank you! For now I plan just some design elements to a existing space, which will be the workshop. Hope one day to be able to build a little house in this manner :) All the best!

@toolsconsumables7055 6 лет назад

Dear Sir, Thank you once again for keeping me informed. I wish you well in all your future endeavours & shall remain subscribed in the hope of being notified of such undertakings. Kind regards.

@Caffeine.And.Carvings 6 лет назад

you say you have no hand skills to speak of :) you dont have to start with a Japanese scarf joint. Start cutting tennons or fingerjoints. Today I practiced my finger joints for 8 hours and the last practice piece came out almost perfect. I felt like I improved throughout the day :) then move on to through tennons, dovetails and then attempt Japanese joinery. have a good day

@patricksullivan9951 6 лет назад

@archkde 6 лет назад

Wow, simply stunning! Where did you learn the method of layout used to make this type of joint? Did you find it in some book?

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks! No, just by myself, I've studied several pictures or clips to see how it is inside, then I've made a drawing in CAD to proportion it with my piece of maple, then thought a little how to mark it, then is just a matter of chopping of the waste :)

@archkde 6 лет назад

Absolutely incredible. Thanks so much for sharing!

@abthom4941 5 лет назад

Makinjg this as I am making other Japanese joints inspired by my recent visit to Japan, Also built a Japanese style tool box to house my Japanese chisels. You site waas some of the inspriation TNX

@24ronin 6 лет назад

Really cool... Are these types of joints also used in house constructions?

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks! Sure, mostly in carpentry, or if you wanna make a mini one and put it on the shelf like me :)

@24ronin 6 лет назад

My dream is to built a house on my own.. I want to use Japanese style and joineries.. Any advice on that??

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Try looking on amazon, I saw several books of jp joinery, for timber framing - carpentry. Cannot recommend you a specific one, cause I don't own it, but try to read reviews, look inside the book wherever amazon has that option

@24ronin 6 лет назад

Great!.. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look in to it..

@steverochon1620 6 лет назад

Great joinery, but I cringed at how close your finders were to the iron on your shooting board. Eeeeeeyy!

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

Thanks! yeah, looks spooky, but I never had an injury with the plane, is a lot safer then the chisels, from which all my fingers are marked :) specially in the beginnings when I've underestimated clamping the workpieces :)

@taiqidong9841 5 лет назад

Well, really, what are a few µm of skin compared to the result. I bled for less than rhat you know... like just leaving my chisels on the bench for no good reason. Just passing thrue, ooops!

@timdoyon1964 Год назад

From a fellow woodworker, I salute you! 🫡 Your workmanship is awe-inspiring!😮

@ClimptonDiddlehopper 6 лет назад

When using this style of scarf joint is their a stronger position side? Like is the joint stronger with the diaganol cuts horizontal or vertical. I see it used both ways in different architecture asnd was curious. I need to extend the beams in my shop to open up some floor space and not have a butt up next to each other 3 piece been and vertical support posts taking valuable floor space. Thanks

@AdrianPreda 6 лет назад

I don't have any other experience with full size kind off joinery, but just by playing and observing this small one I may say with the diagonal cuts facing horizontal, cause you may think there is way more wood contact area to spread the forces too (and looks cooler too :) ) On the other side, vertical, can be better too cause wood pieces are holding to each other to the end grains, which holds better pressure. Anyway this is just an empirical explanation, don't think that wood strength-size ratio is so linear so can be applied to a smaller piece too.

@DorianBracht 6 лет назад

Traditionally the wedge is put in vertically, so that is also the orientation of the joint.

@ClimptonDiddlehopper 6 лет назад

Ok I thought it would be a stronger friction fit but I had seen some flip so before I but the weight of the upper floor I wanted some more insight. Thanks!
