[@DorianBracht]

[@redkin1960]

Perfectly. It is like a separate art form. And what kind of connection, in your opinion, is suitable for practical use?

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! This joint is used in buildings, when you do not have the space to thread a full tenon.

[@SirDominic]

The level of complexity here is crazy surely no sane person would use this in real life but then I remember it's Japanese. With all these videos I try and think why would someone take the extra effort to make these? Does it provide extra strength or give the finished article a more pleasing aesthetic? Some times this is true and then you get ones like this one which seems to be trying too hard to do all of it at the same time and then I remember how Japanese culture views buildings. That they are non permanent and even moveable. I'm assuming then that one of the biggest reasons for many of these joints is they can (relatively) easily be undone and reused if required whilst maintaining all the other properties. Which would make perfect sense that you would add in the extra time and effort now to make things easier in the future. Either that or the Japanese are crazy just for fun which is also equally plausible :P Excellent work as always sir and I thank you for taking the time to show us.

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! The main feature woth this joint is it is invisible on three sides and you can fit a beam in a tight space, since you don’t have a long tenon.

[@johnmarkhatfield]

hiding endgrain so it's not exposed to the elements is really important for wood. most european styled timber frames use pegged joinery and the peg would allow water to enter for bacteria to start eating the wood away. they still last a long time if the roof sheds it far enough away, but siding that covers each nail with the next piece of siding is how it's done the euro way. most modern carpenters in america for exterior use don't care and just get pressure treated pine. it still rots away super fast because of how little care we have for the long term. the only people that would do this sort of work have the time and the passion. the money aspect to pay a carpenter to make these joints doesn't work for 99% of people in the world. i'm sure mr bracht only makes things for himself, friends, or the very very wealthy.

[@DorianBracht]

[@mikegriffiths3440]

nice joint! I disagree with the short grain left at the back of the false tennon though, perhaps a longer one with more timber at the back to resist sheer at that point??

[@DorianBracht]

True, if it were bigger I probably would. But for demo purposes....

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks btw ;)

[@osrictentaqclesmin]

Might you consider a shot at the end of tools used for each video? For example you used what looked like a small bevel gauge to mark the dovetails inside the mortise. Of course there are a million ways to skin a cat but you learn a lot from watching the elegant efficacy of others. Are there certain tools you find are indispensable for layout in tight spaces?

[@DorianBracht]

The bevel gauge was actually rather big. Unfortunately I cant find miniature ones. Insespensibe in tight spaces is definitely a thin long marking knife!

[@jper07vic]

Wow incredible

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you!

[@independentliberty9628]

It would be interesting to see a strength test of that joint. I would imagine that it is pretty stout.

It should be... maybe I'll do failure testing in the future...

Your video is 13:10 long but how long did it actually take to make this beautiful joint.

[@DorianBracht]

A couple of hours. But the figuring out and filming takes the most time.

[@TheAl_T]

What do you do with all of these joints? Do you have like a collection of them?

[@DorianBracht]

I sure do!

[@TheAl_T]

Can we get a picture of it? Maybe in the KZbin feed thingy

[@patrickolsen1525]

How many pounds (or whatever system you use) would that joint hold at a 90° angle?

[@osrictentaqclesmin]

Another great video thanks. I’ve been looking for a joint to fit my slab down onto leg tenons for my Roubo bench and this might work. If I do the traditional wedged through joint I’ll not get it out of the building when I move! Can the joint be disassembled? Do you think this would be a good option? Or would recommend another joint? The slab is huge and in all honestly probably doesn’t need fixing but joinery is fun right! Thanks again

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! Yes, it would be feasable to use this joint for your workbench. If you leave the shachi sen pins long you can easily disassemble the joint. I would leave a gap, like the one in my sao tsugi (ep 35) video, so you can persuade the leg off the floating tenon with a wedge or nail iron.

[@osrictentaqclesmin]

Dorian Bracht Thank you. Do you dimension your blanks by hand? I love this process but as the timbers get bigger squaring end grain becomes challenging! My bench legs are 6”x5” Sapele. Not easy! I appreciate your videos very much; you are passionate and fastidious - a great combination. I’ve just finished making my first kebiki and it works wonderfully but I found I had to use the thumbnail blade I made for the gauge to finish cutting the mortise as it as tiny. My point to this is certain joints clearly require odd chisels! I’d love to see you talk about favoured ones and also your thoughts on layout.

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you. I dimension my stoch with machines. On bigger stock I square off with a hand saw.

[@MichaelFord]

I love watching your videos and learning about the Japanese joints. What is the name of the chisel that you use starting at 6:43? That thing is awesome. Where do you learn all the joints that you feature?

[@BischBaschBosch]

If you want to learn some of these Japanese style joints I recommend The Complete Japanese Joinery by Yasuo Nakahara as possibly the best place to start (Second time I've recommended this book on this thread I know. Not spamming, it just is a great resource).

[@triune_blades]

Incredible! I'm new to your channel but I'm hooked! Do you have a suggestion for some good literature pertaining to the art of Japanese joinery and the setup phase? My wife got me the book by Kiyosi Seike but a lot of it's just pictures. It's still a good book but I'll need a more technical guide to this in order to get to the next step. Thanks!!!

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks! Sure you can have a look at ‚TheComplete Japanese Joinery‘ and ‚Joints in Classical Japanese Architecture‘

[@felibzo7848]

How long does it take to make those joints?

[@DorianBracht]

This one was a couple of hours. But it was the first time making it.

[@PierceyeG]

I've never seen a joint like that before. Anyone know what sort of application this little beauty would have? Seems like a furniture joint at first glance.

[@DorianBracht]

It’s actually used in carpentry, when a full length tenon isn‘t feasable.

Excellent work as always. I'm a subscriber and have watch all your videos at least once if not more. Quick question on this joinery. Are the two pins left long on purpose to disassemble later or can they be cut flush for a more permanent but aesthetic look? Again thanks

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you very much, I‘m glad you enjoy them! I think they are usually trimmed flush, but I need to disassemble these show joints every now and again for clients and such. So I leave them long.

[@RikuIshmaru]

Since a lot of wood glues are stronger than the wood itself, would it be possible to make larger dimension lumber for this kind of work by gluing 2x4's together? Would love to build a little tea house on a shoestring budget since anything like 4" thick is pretty much impossible to find in my area.

[@DorianBracht]

Hmm, wood glue doesn’t do to well when exposed to the elements. Maybe try to get lumber directly fom a sawmill or on ebay/craigslist.

[@davidlangton4743]

Are you referring to a certain book when making these joints or is it just personal knowledge? I'd like to do something similar where I can learn all the joints to practice my accuracy.

i love your work. i used to watch an american tv show called the woodwrights shop. he makes everything traditionally, but usually the european/american way. it's a little boring once you sort of get it. i love how your videos make me feel like i'm just a beginner wondering what's going to happen next. i've made things like a violin or cabinets and am starting on a large timber frame and have done much in between. it's fun to see something i've dreamed up like a beveled sliding dovetail that has a dovetail on the end that keys and slides into a different housed joint - being made the proper way and to find out its actually something from a different tradition. perhaps i have some japanese in me. do you use a table saw? something difficult for me is getting stock so exactly similar (especially for a scarf joint). i think my planes aren't at the correct angle or something and i get tear out in hard woods. the planes are sharp, but maybe not hair shaving sharp. it takes a lot of skewing and changing direction to tame. sometimes i wish i had some machines to do fast precise things. for pine and poplar it's like butter though. and planing multiple together to get exact sizes is easy. some day i'll have the time to make my own planes. i don't have the time or money to woodwork anymore though. and i never sleep well hence the rambling comment made in the middle of the night.

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks for the comment! Yes Roy Underhill, I know the show. Ive seen it a number of times. Also I use machines to dimension my stock. It helps me save time.

Super Video, Dorian. Die Verbindung ist super und wie die aussieht auch belastbar. Sprich wenn man so ein regal bauen würde, mit der Querverbindung.

Weil die unterschiedliche "Rechenarten" haben (Durchmesser zu Umfang oder zum Quadrat)

I think these joints are far too complex when a right angle joint can be made with a mortise and tenon and a couple of pegs. They simply take too long to make.
