Japanese Joinery - 隅留めほぞ差しSumidome Hozo Sashi

[@luke_fabis]

There’s nothing quite so satisfying as a properly sharpened chisel being pushed through wood.

[@carlmason736]

Couldn't agree more

Apparently effortlessly too!! Phenomenal to shave a whole internal face in 1 piece

[@AOMartialArts]

Hi. Let me introduce you to my good friend: Lathe.

[@himynameisdavenicetomeetyou]

Also, the way he expertly uses the natural properties of the wood when utilizing the grain direction to get perfectly clean results. Just beautiful to watch

[@trcmf]

I would love to see you marking the lines in your videos. It’s obviously extremely important and would be a great teaching tool to all of us learn the how and why about marking.

[@outdoorkohai3249]

what Tim said!

[@gedog77]

Also what time said.

[@BigButtocks967]

What time?

[@dplj4428]

@@BigButtocks967 right off at beginning and through out. Where he’s removing wood, we’ll see a line dashed inside the waste area. Some people shade off whole waste area.

[@deanaoxo]

Every now and then, i run across a video where i simply can't believe how much knowledge is passed to me. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed.

[@dylaniwakuni]

I'm happy to hear that. Cheers! 😊

[@jonathanmangold5024]

and i like the idea of clamping another piece of wood above the work to keep the chisel on true 90 degrees to the work. I'm going to start doing that.

[@dylaniwakuni]

That's great to hear 😊 Cheers!

[@lourias]

Yes, I saw that is another of his videos! The first clamp in the other video was during rough gouging. I really was impressed with the clamp on a block to guide his chisel. What awesome skills to have! What an awesome person to share his/her knowledge! ... years ago when YT was created, I saw no value in the platform. Now, I look up stuff and learn more quickly than web surfing, or even using the old card catalogs of the analog book system! LOL 😆 At least one can teach this old dog a new trick.

[@Julmaa87]

I assume you mean 180 degrees?

[@lynxg4641]

That joint is INSANE! It truly is amazing and baffles me how people come up with these super complex joints that only need 1 wedge to be super strong. Precision and lots of patience are the key here and you seem to have them in an over abundance, really well done.

[@mpethybridge]

I just learned more about using a chisel than I had learned in my previous 15 years of hand tool woodworking. Amazing! Thank you, sir.

[@barkebaat]

3:48 - Clever technique -- I'll start doing it that way from now :-) Thanks from a Norwegian woodworker ! Voted & subbed

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear that! Cheers! 🙌

[@russowings5351]

INCREDIBLE CRAFTSMANSHIP! SO METICULOUS! Japanese craftsmen are the BEST!

[@PatNetherlander]

When I saw those chisels and I heard that sound I knew: this is gonna be GOOD! And it was even better than good, it was amazing!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear that! 😊🙌

[@andersonlong7709]

Extraordinary. Thank you for doing “ a good job” and keeping the supreme art of Japanese joinery alive.

[@rugleberg]

Never learnt so much from a video where so little is said! Exceptional work, you've gained a fan!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear that! Thanks! 😊🙌

[@soonmfkr]

Your Craftsmanship is outstanding, I knew what to expect by the thumbnail, Yet I watched with breathless anticipation. Inspiring and exquisite Thank you Master Iwakuni!

[@JasonQuackenbushonGoogle]

wood love to see a video showing how you do the layout of complex joints like this in detail.

[@Kobe29261]

My thoughts exactly, when I saw the marking lines I knew this was the work of a master -even they had artistry written all over them!

[@irongoatrocky2343]

Lets use an idea called the "6 P's" Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance Think 2x cut once!

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

Seeing the care, precision, patience, time and skill that goes into making a joint like this gives me a renewed appreciation for what can be achieved with duck tape!

[@RichardDenRooyen1973]

so impressed by the sharpness of that chisel 😮😮

[@nheinric]

Wow, the patience and precision is amazing And those chisels! Great video!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you! 😊

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

Every time I see one of your videos, I swear I would love to apprentice under you and learn all about these types of woodworking!

[@lintelle2382]

love the sound of a really sharp chisel!

[@MrAkwaholic]

Mesmerizing skill and accuracy. That final push to complete the joint was even more satisfying than I expected. Great job.

[@dylaniwakuni]

That's great to hear. Thank you 😊

[@e.p.4767]

Aka : A sculptor's wet dream. Before man made all these milling machines ... Someone, give this guy a masters degree in fine arts.

[@JohnColgan.]

I'm struggling to find the right words for this. Insanely complex and accurate. Unbelievable how you shaved a whole internal face ...in 1 piece was so gossamer fine. I'm in total awe of your skills and of course your chisel sharpness! I just can't believe 80+ people did a thumbs down 👎 ... unless they are better than you at chisel carving, how can they judge do harshly??

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I like to wet the endgrain with water when chiseling. It makes the wood softer and easier to chisel.

[@deborahduthie4519]

These were the skills honed while Japan was self isolated from the rest of the world. Craftsman excellence was being achieved in Japan. Look at these beautiful skills. Stunning workmanship by any standards unsurpassed by tradesman throughout the world.

[@dplj4428]

I wonder if same similar used in China or Korea? There’s been hundreds of years influences back and forth the people’s in these geographical areas.

[@charlesdbruce]

I bet this guy shaves in the morning with his chisels rather than a shaving razor... Those things are sharp!

[@youtukang]

☺☺🤝

[@dmann579]

Beautiful joint and such amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing this, Dylan. You've inspired me to do more with my chisels!

[@pimpownzu]

With so many useless videos out on KZbin, it makes you appreciate the wealth of knowledge and technique in this video. Thanks for sharing and reminding me that I have dull chisels! LoL

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear that! Cheers! 😊

[@jbronsonlll]

Just WOW ! So very impressive and inspiring.Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. I'm truly grateful.Cheers

[@manofbeard]

As a joiner myself I really enjoy watching another craftsman at work. You’re use of chisel’s is excellent. Keep up the good work lad 👍

[@lenap4956]

I think I'm gonna pick wood carving as a hobby now. There's something strangely fascinating at seeing wood being sculpted

[@airielaina8279]

Type of wood,good sharp n quality tools n a lot of knowledge...created a very nice thing.

[@MrSteamDragon]

Putting aside for a moment the skill level required to execute such a joint, consider the genius who conceived these joints in the first place.

[@C4DET3]

Gracias UPTD por recomendarnos semejante canal, me llena de satisfaccion esta clase de videos xD

[@GonzaloDeSantiago]

Assombrosas habilidades + excelentes ferramentas = belos resultados.

[@kogarten]

Wunderbar! Meinen ganzen Respekt! Hier spürt man die Liebe zum Detail.

[@weicheisen9999]

I see a German clamp ? Very nice to see this ! Very good joints too. I love to watch the way how they are made.

[@anamontesinos1160]

I watch this guys videos for sleeping, so satisfying

[@glennjoachim8275]

An artist, with his tools and materials in harmony :)

[@pnwRC.]

Fantastic video of a complex, but very interesting joinery workings

[@nigelpeters967]

Amazing, fantastic workmanship. Really enjoyed watching that.

That was amazing. Excellent skills sir.

[@rameezamos2249]

Great technic . I haven't seen such precision in a long time in todays wood workers. You definitely has a new subscriber. Cant wait to see what you will do next. You reminding me why I love woodworking.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you! Happy to hear that! 😊

[@mickrose9633]

Fantastic workmanship, I love it!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you! 😊

[@graflaszlo]

Hi, could you release a video showing us the preparation of the wood material? I mean how do you flatten natural wood to get strait boards, beams, etc.

[@offthewall9988]

more like sculpting than joinery! that's a busy joint!

[@franciscohernandez4766]

Almiro mucho su cultura. Su dedicación a cada trabajo que realizan son en verdad muy buenos gracias por compartir sus trabajos. Saludos cordiales desde México

[@jonathanpizarromartinez2572]

Es el video más hipnotizante y satisfactorio que he visto en mi vida, simplemente sorprendente. Saludos desde Chile!!!

[@Fenris_1966]

It is deeply satisfying to follow, thank you very much 😁

[@dylaniwakuni]

Happy to hear that! 😊

[@PuncakeLena]

Everyone: Wow, such an amazing joint! It takes so much skill to pull this off! Description: Nothing to see here, just a floor edge joint.

[@MelbaOzzie]

A magnificent display of craftsmanship. It was really a pleasure to watch. But do I understand this correctly: this is a common joint they use all the time in their home construction? So all the house framers do this as a matter of routine? Mind boggling!

[@dylaniwakuni]

It's not that common of a joint. It's used more for high end houses, Shrines and Temples where the sills may be visible.

[@jeromemazzi]

That's simply Awesome...Your work is pure Art, I can't find more words, sorry for this poor comment...

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@jeromemazzi]

@@dylaniwakuni You're more than welcome! It's so beautiful to see how you created and how you shaped this Masterpiece! And sharing this with us...this is a great privilege to see you in action, thanks a lot!

[@survivalist9818]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks!

[@route66flyer29]

Does my heart good to see someone actually using chisels right.

[@juanbarquero6694]

The acuracy is quite awesome

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks! 😊

[@renzoalaniz]

How wonderful those cuts with a good sharpening, genius...! I follow you :)

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you 😊

[@KnotHead1008]

Beautiful joinery work.

[@petrskala6599]

Dear Dylan, as first I would like to say big Thank You this kind of videos which are very relaxing and mainly inspirative. Also I would like to express big respect to your patience, steady hand and skills. I have also one question - when you wet the wood for chiseling, do you use water or paint thinner or alcohol? The water can incerase the moisture of wood it is undesirable ?! Thank you very much for your response Petr

[@dylaniwakuni]

Hi, thank you for your kind comment. I simply use water and as it’s only on the surface it dries away quickly. But I’ve also heard of others using alcohol .

[@patrickgirard-k3g]

a true work of art

[@Gearsandgrease]

Could you do a video on just your collection of tools and how you sharpen them. Where does one aquire such high caliber tools. Even your chisels look like art

[@filmmekkwal2737]

This is not some Japanese wood joining, it is the art of joining wood with a capital "A". I'm impressed!!!

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

I could watch this all day...🤗👍

[@gedog77]

Sometimes I come back and watch this like meditation, it's therapeutic.

[@markwhittaker6411]

What timber is used for this. I get that the chisels are surgical sharp, but the end grain stuff is like butter. Such knowledge and craftsmanship!

[@velcroman11]

Listen to the sound the chisel make as the worker cleans up the cuts. Music to the ears.

[@ecokestove]

Very interesting. Superb work. I have tried this joint, and failed. I'll try again using some of your techniques.

[@nickyork8901]

Excellent work, and really interesting video!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you! 😊

[@diegpescalante7409]

OMG, youre joinery is so relax

[@totobill22]

Magnifique ! C'est un art ! Comme Dorian Bracht. Bravo à vous !

[@scoopypigeon1694]

I really like this, but I must admit I don't understand why the geometry of the joint is so complicated. Does this specific geometry increase the strength of the join, and how? Great work and great video nonetheless, thank you. 🙂

[@RolloZx]

Great skills - v realxing and inspiring to watch

[@beverleyellis6358]

Beautiful to watch⭐️ thank you

[@ciro1957toro]

Gran trabajo y esfuerzo. Vale aplicarlo en qué...?

[@robohippy]

I am also curious about laying out your joints. I had thought that most of it was done with a marking knife. I would guess that ink is used here so the camera can actually see it. The knife lines would be almost invisible. Also curious, but it looks like you get the wood wet before you make your final chisel cuts, is this correct? I do know with my wood bowl making experience, if you are turning some very dry woods that are very prone to tearing out, that getting the wood wet really helps clean up the cuts. Nice work, some thing I aspire to do some day.

[@l8ping]

Amazing principle. So much to learn.

[@anapaulacorrea6649]

Incrível! Seu trabalho é fenomenal!

[@SgtBrewdawg]

Beautiful!

[@airmech6271]

I love the design and craftsmanship, is there any technical advantage regarding strength of the joint?

[@StephanieElizabethMann]

A joy to watch.

[@kevingraczyk7212]

This is really awesome and a pure pleasure to watch. What kind of buildings or furniture would this joint traditionally be used for?

[@dylaniwakuni]

This is a joinery traditionally used for the corner of exposed (visible) floor sills. But more for high-end work

[@jamesgreen4080]

I'll never open a tin of paint with a chisel again.

[@videostarish]

Wow...! REALLY relaxing.... 😃

[@shaneyee934]

Thank you for showing your technique. Subscribed and voted.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you 😊

[@K3Ddesignstudio]

That staifying sound of a chisel carving out some wood shavings!

[@terrydavis2552]

Human CNC machine! Amazing.

[@HomeBibleCollege]

Notice the use of water to help cutting the timber.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Good eye! 👍

[@JohnColgan.]

I wondered why the inner wood looked so dark. Obviously the waiter helped, but can you explain how and why?

[@RelakS__]

Someone: Hey, Iwakuni-san, nice sculpture. Iwakuni-san: That's just a joint...

[@dplj4428]

Once again I am reminded. Keeping chisels sharp lessens slips, too.

[@carlmason736]

Fantastic craftsmanship this came up on my news feed subcribed

[@eyeamcreated]

Lol caught myself blowing the screen I got so entranced I thought I was right there working the wood .. lol

[@cutaway79]

Ummmmmmmm...

[@Kobe29261]

I also thought it was apropos that Cathedral bells would ring in the middle of his work. What he's doing is almost religious. I'm sorry that his ears have to endure road traffic :-(

[@derarbeit]

damn - skills from a another world

[@jackknife89actual]

What is that pen you use for marking? it makes great lines. dark, but not too thick.

[@1lllllllll1]

6:30 sounds like German town bells. Hildesheim?

[@dylaniwakuni]

Yes, German church bells indeed 👍
