Great! I admire kumikos. I read Mike Pekovich's articles how to make it. But he's using power tools for the strips. This is a great way for those, who dont have table saw (like me).
@AdrianPreda6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I follow also M P and enjoy his work. I believe that with a table saw, no mater the quality of the blade you will have some saw marks, and it's quite impossible to sand after without altering the edges and the thickness of the strip. It may be run after on a drum sander, but at the cost of one, even a cheap model... :) A good clean solution with power tools I heard are the Proxxon tools. The FET table saw and the thickness planer leave a nice finish, but again, these two may go over 1000$ :) Kumiko patterns usually are not finished with oils and lacquer, they rely on the glass smooth finish made by the plane in the process of sizing them.

But why using the kanna (min 5:57) to thin the strips ? Is the kanna more "accurate" than de western plane you're using (it's a very good Veritas plane if I'm not mistaken) ? I do not know anything about japanese planes and don't understand what's the interest of buying one.

the bird sounds in the background are so relaxing (on top of the calm classical music) - I have (lots of) basswood, and will evolve the set of jigs to go this. I think that I have most of the tools. There will be some kumiko in my future. This seems so much more "refined" than the power-tool version of strip-preparation. you are using a low-angle plane - is it because that is "what you had", or do you think that the low-angle makes this process "better" or "easier"? I have a new-to-me Lee Valley 4-1/2 smoothing plane that will probably be what I would use LV is just down the street - maybe I just go get their kanna and give that a try - for all of the good reasons that you would want to own a Japanese plane - and do your 2-step process

Hi, when planing to thickness, do you find that the wood is sometimes pulled up by the blade and so planes too thin? I have found this with my own thickness jig.
@shanemccarthy15623 жыл бұрын
Hey Adrian, I've been trying to research on how to make Kumiko strips and have watched your video several times, but as a noob and lazy person I can't imagine rip cutting over and over again, and honestly can't imagine historical woodworkers doing this. Been trying to do some research and I've found a tool called a "Wari-Kebiki" (Splitting Gauge). It's essentially a marking gauge but goes all the way through the wood, making rip cuts literally take less than 30 seconds. You could buy 1/8th thin stock and split it with the Wari Kebiki. The only downside I see to this is the cost to wood ratio.
@AdrianPreda3 жыл бұрын
With the kebiki you need to have a very soft wood to go >6mm width for ex (2×3mm, two passes on both sides). Riping harder woods like walnut, even this basswood is not that soft, will be difficult. But I normally use the bandsaw to rip. Here I wanted to show this option as well but my only bsaw blade was broken then😀

Amazing video. Do you plane the faces cut by the dozuki on the final cuts or leave them un-planed? Is the finish OK from just the dozuki? Also, would you use this same method fork for slightly larger pieces like e.g. shoji frames or use a different approach + tools? Thanks!
@AdrianPreda6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yes, if you notice, after I cut with the dozuki I run the strip on the thickness planing jig. The strip, after is cut by the dozuki, has a square trapezoidal form (one side has been already joint before), so when planing on the jig practically I transform the trapezoid into a rectangle. Sure, I use this technique with small pieces too, which are not wider than the jig width (plane's blade width). For example almost all my recently made boxes, the stock of the frame is prepared in this way

Thanks! I have a cheapo china 2.5$ shipping included digital caliper that shows only one decimal, xx.x. I found out that 0.1mm is acceptable, so if it measures 2.0 or 2.1mm is ok. Much important is that your all your strips to be the same thickness, lay them one to another and feel with your finger any difference. Also, do not change your blade depth adjustment during planing the strips.

Thank you for this video! I'm going to buy your plans on Etsy to try to make some mini lamps. May I ask what the dimensions are of the basswood lumber before cutting? I can see the width to be about 106mm.
@AdrianPreda3 жыл бұрын
Thanks! It doesn't matter what lumber section you have, use whatever you can get and divided so you make groups of strips as you desire. If you use the same technique with the plane thickness jig try to make the intermediate big strips around 1/2 to 2/3 of the plane's blade width, so it will be easy to plane. For example here, I was aiming 6x3mm kumiko strips I remember, so I made the intermediate strips at 6x30mm in order to obtain 5 kumiko strips. 30/5=6mm for each kumiko assuming half will be wasted from saw and plane.
