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

[@ko.kurt2024]

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

[@ahutarius]

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

[@davidlee2003]

One of the sweetest joints constructions you have made in my opinion!

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you!

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

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

[@amoscardoza5253]

Your house must be the illest!!

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you!

[@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...

[@consciouseye7209]

New to your channel. I love how everything is explained with Action without talking.

[@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 :)

[@r1273m]

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

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you, yes we are :)

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

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you for watching!

[@DorianBracht]

And waiting 🙈

[@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!

Great joint and video Dorian. I like the camera angles; they really show the important part of the operation you are doing.

Vielen Dank!

[@romherz10]

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.

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

[@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.

[@gunterschone8402]

Schönes Video, Dorian. Super schöne Verbindung. 👍🏻 Vermute sie gehört zu den Mittleren Verbindung, nicht einfach aber auch nicht schwer. 🤔😁 Daraus könnte man ein super schönen Beistelltisch und/oder Wohnzimmertisch machen. Oben eine Glasscheibe drauf und die Leisten innen mit einer falz versehen und da könnte eine Milchglasscheibe rein. 🙄😂😂 Schöne Woche gewünscht. Bleib gesund.

[@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!
