Joint Venture Ep.59: Bridle enclosed in a mitered, through mortise and tenon (Chinese Joinery)

Beautiful, clean work. Patience is a virtue. 🙌🏼

It's not just a joinery, it's a piece of art

There’s nothing better than the sound of super sharp tools working on wood.....great work, thanks for sharing.

Good to see you back, hope you and yours are keeping well. Great video as usual. Bob

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you, yes we are :)

[@dylaniwakuni]

Always a pleasure to watch you work! You're really taking this joinery thing to the next level!

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you Dylan!

[@mr.bennett108]

I think the thing that I continue to be impressed by are how force-optimized each joint is based on the expected stresses. Left thicker where its expected to take load, left thinner or shorter when its just for registering alignment. So brilliant.

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! Joinery is very fascinating...

[@JamesLee-sw6ss]

I love these joint venture videos, but usually when I watch em, I try to imagine what I'd use it for and come up lacking. This is the first time where I watched through and thought "Wow, this would be a really awesome bookcase... "

[@DorianBracht]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@batzlat1]

Mr. Bracht, I must say I think you are a wizard of these complicated joints! Just so perfect joints every time! Also I admire that you use many Japanese tools, namely the chisels. But my opinion is that, particularly in this video, they might be sharper. Don't know if you are familiar, there is a many-years woodworker in Canada, his name is Rob Cosman. Mr. Cosman has videos for sharpening chisels and plane knifes and I must say the results are outstanding, it is visible from the videos. I have nothing to do with Mr. Cosman, I am simply trying to make your life a bit easier with sharper tools :)

[@howardaappel194]

I always wait, impatiently, for a new video from you. You make the most impressive joints and your craftsmanship is incredible. Thank you.

[@DorianBracht]

now I have been surprised. Seeing a cane on the cover of the video I thought that he would use precisely a cane. I never thought I would do it from a square bar. Every video I watch surprises me more than the last.

[@ricos1497]

Brilliant. After using your dictum links on the last video to purchase a marking guage the same as the one in the video, I'm wondering why I can't do these joints like you? It's almost like there's some sort of skill that I'm missing. Can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I should buy another Japanese saw. That should do it.

[@mizkal8079]

It is clear to me that you are not an experienced wood-worker-watcher. We, the experienced wood-worker-watchers knows that to obtain that skill level after watching one Dorian Joint, one must purchase ATLEAST 3 oiri nomi AND 1 new saw. I hope this reaches you in time in order for you to find salvation.

[@DorianBracht]

😂😂

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks! You have to get eye surgery and cyborg hands. Very expensive though, wouldn't recommend.

[@abelsalas6584]

Muy buen trabajo!!! caja,espiga, inglete. Preguntó: y para que sirve ese trabajo?

I would love to know how he sharpens his tools

[@Ham68229]

Paul Sellers and Rob Cosman both have video's out on how to sharpen. Paul even shows how to sharpen saws.

[@atmloginvideos]

Que trabalho excepcionalmente preciso !!! Ver um vídeo desta qualidade é muito relaxante. E quase inacreditável que alguém consiga fazer encaixes nesse nível sem ter nascido no japão.

[@andreicharpentierquesada4530]

Awesome. Always cool looks these videos. I have a doubt. I have a Kirschen chisels set. But i bought a Lie-Nielsen Chisel set So i want to use my kirschen chisel to chop. What would be a good angle for this job?

[@Joesmith-fu4ps]

Bravo...Well done. You obviously have hand eye coronation, skills with hand tools and the sharpening of hand tools. I'm sure it is very self satisfying. And of course I couldn't do that. But, what is the practical use of that? Is this a joint that will be used often it making projects? I have built some furniture but I'm not near as talented as you but even if I was I don't know where I'd use that joint. I'm going to assume this is a skill builder.

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! It is traditionally for the armrest to leg construction of a Ming period Chinese chair.

Ahh that satisfying click! Reminds me of the meme with Jenn Muriel.

[@robertoquirogabarraza4053]

Besides showing off, what is it for?

[@simingyang9065]

This joinery is most typically seen used in traditional Chinese chairs (google 圈椅 or 灯挂椅 or 太师椅）. The miter is part of the frame for the chair seat. The stock locked in there is a chair leg. This allows the backs and/or arm rests (above the chair seat) , stretchers and aprons (below the chair seat) to be joined into the same set of stocks for extra structural strength, while the continuous grain going through the chair seat adds to the aesthetics. In application, a slight splay (@ about 1 in 20 or 1 in 30 angle) is usually added to each of the legs, rather than at 90° angle in the sample here.

[@DorianBracht]

Exactly what Family Yang said!

[@matthiasherzog5201]

And the reason for him making such a time consuming joint, (which incidently doesnt fit that close at the end) was? Because he can!
