You truly are an inspiration to people even if some people are not interested in actually making these mesmerising panels but simply to watch your tremendous skills. Thanks so much 👍
WOW! Just bumped into this video. I'm subscribed now. I'm going back to part 1 and coming forward. I have watched so many videos and purchased 2 books on Kumiko. Love this still. I will retire the end of this year and will for sure give this a try. Above you mentioned "
@@WoodArtStudio1 ok, I'm caught up. I watched all 7. Some 2 times, maybe 3, and I bet 150 rewinds at least. Looking forward to the next videos. It's a good thing you are not near Atlanta (I assume you're not), I'd grab my mask and come over to your shop. :-) Oh, at one point you said something about "use the 30 / 60 degree sled". Is that one or 2 sleds?
Great!! I'm at Southern California.. ^^ 30/60 degree sled is actually a one sled, that is in the video. I'm working on the plan for all my work and the Kumiko is included. I'll post more info on RU-vid as soon as it's ready. Thanks^^
After seeing all these video over the past few months..... I was thinking you were in Europe..... Your pencil gave away you are here in the States! LOL And the Woodcraft Ruler
Taeho you have been one of the great joys of a miserable four months of lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. So inspiring. What is the kerf on the drop saw you are using at the start of the video?
Wow!!! Thank you so much!! Ironically, the pandemic got me into making videos on RU-vid. The kerf is the standard blade that Festool makes. It is very similar to thin-kerf blade. 3/32" I believe. However, the vibration of the blade is different from the table saw blade's vibration. So, you'll need to find out the actual kerf that makes with vibration then you need to mill the stock to mating size. I have written down the thickness at my shop. I'll let you know more by Wednesday. Thanks for your support!!! ^^
Hi there, excellent work!! Thankyou for taking all this time to share this with us, greatly appreciated. I am hoping you can give us and idea of how long it has taken to make this panel. (obviously on completion)
Thank you so much! I and my friends have been meeting once a week for the last six months or so. If I were to do it again just by myself, it should take me about three weeks.
Never understood how the jigs work when you hand plane the small pieces. Why doesnt the plane eat away on the jig little by little until the surface is too damaged? Love the video btw!
Hi just wondered what model of festool kapex saw you were using? as I'm thinking of buying one soon to help with making kumiko. Many thanks and hope they'll be more great vids!
@@WoodArtStudio1 thanks for getting back with model number, I decided to sell my old bosch and buy a new festool kapex, it's a great saw and looking forward to making some beautiful kumiko panels with it! 👍👌
How thin did the kiku edge pieces end up being? Its just crazy how thin you saw, even with the jigs. And what would the limit for edge piece thinness be in general?
Thank you!!! Actually, when you see my videos from part 1, you will notice that I'm not using glue for any of the half-lap or three-way lap joints. For instance, I'm only applying glue on the edges of the main panel in the Part 1 video. For the Goma pattern, no glue on the half-lap joints. For Kasane-rindou, also no glue on the half-lap joints. For miter bending Asanoha, you don't need to... For everything else, you will have to glue anywhere that connects between the pattern and the mainframe. Otherwise, after it goes through several climate changes, the patterns will just fall out from the main grids. Every Kumiko making companies and every Kumiko craftsman in Japan uses the glue into there Kumiko joints. Probably more than I use. I'm not Japanese, I'm Korean and I have been working on making Korean traditional furniture and building Buddhist Temples for many years in Korea. I can confidently tell you that you have to use glue in certain parts and not necessarily for certain spots. Thank you for watching my video and for your comments.. ^^
I usually clean both sides. However, for this panel, I'm not cleaning the bottom-side. I'll be applying Han-Ji (Korean traditional paper) on the backside. So, I will just use a hand-plane or sanding paper to clean out and flatten the back. Thanks.. ^^
The Japanese had a huge knowledge of mathematical patterns and number theory without realizing it. They thought that they were just making beautiful things. There are guys who get PhDs in college in math just analyzing these shape arrangements and their properties.
Hey Phil, are you talking about the cutting jig for the miter saw? If it is, I'm going to cover on upcoming Kumiko Lamp series. It's going to be an upgraded version. Thanks.
