Kumiko - the 八重裏花亀甲 (yae-ura-hana-kikko) pattern

[@paulhicks7991]

Love the intimacy, the closeness, the quietness of this. The breathe cleansing the area. And of course the process. Well done

[@Iamyinkadavies]

Now this is what I call "somebody went to school and studied well!" Well-done sir.

[@curtnadeau4298]

Beautiful work Jon! I like how you have a couch in your workshop :)

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Thanks Curt! Yeah, this project I did at home in the comfort of my living room :) Not a bad place to work!

[@xylemmelyx]

Incredible. Beautifully done.

Hi there. Just a small question if you don't mind, the jig you use at 11:10 minutes where did you get it? Or did you made it youreself? Btw love your work. Grts Jeffrey.

[@BigSandWoodworking]

That's a ha-ganna, which I made and I'm using it with a simple plywood jig with a stop for cutting the angle on the end of the kumiko. I bought the ha-ganna blade and made my own plane block. The shop where I got the ha-ganna blade is a place called Pro Shop Hokuto in Japan. Best, Jon

[@intrepidus3378]

This is magnificent. Thanks for sharing.

[@BigSandWoodworking]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@staxlhax1849]

Wow that is truly awesome to watch

[@arnolsi]

I watched a lot of japanese wood work and I'm fascinated. You created a beautyfull piece of art. Do the japanese wood worker never use sandpaper?

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Nowadays it varies, some people may use sandpaper, and some may not. But people doing traditional work tend to only use hand planes to finish plane all woodwork.

[@magik8566]

Beautiful! Great work

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@shamshairpardesi]

Where did you get this thin wood or did you make this wood yourself first then you worked on it

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Yes I milled and planed the wood for this project.

[@shamshairpardesi]

@@BigSandWoodworking Ok Sir Thanks you so much

[@ralphkolva9702]

Beautiful work!

Thank you very much!

You Are Great man 😊❤

[@ptabz3112]

Amazing work! May I ask where you got the special hand plane for cutting the small insert pieces? I've been planning to make one but I don't know where to start. Thanks

[@BigSandWoodworking]

I bought the blades from a shop called Pro Shop Hokuto and made my own dai (wooden bodies). I started writing about how I went about making the planes here. www.bigsandwoodworking.com/ha-ganna-%e8%91%89%e9%89%8b-making-dai/

[@MichaelFemia]

@@BigSandWoodworking Do you know the Japanese symbol for dai? Your work looks great!!

[@hanaanrosenthal]

What a soothing video

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@drfangs1]

Good work. I am interested in getting the 60 and 30 scoring plane used to cut angles in the wooden stripes. Can you give me the proper name of these tools and where i might purchase them i live in Canada but i have access to etsy and amazon.

[@ibrahimfayaz2591]

Quality work

[@Spetsialista]

There is a missing piece in the hexagon right third part middle top

[@madebybobbie]

Very beautiful kumiko! Impressive to see what you can do with great skills and a setup with hand tools at home. Is your workbench a Japanese planing board on two saw horses? And is it fastened to the saw horses? Fan of your blog as well. Big thanks and greetings from the Netherlands :)

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Thanks! and yes my workbench is simply a wide piece of wood on a couple of sawhorses. The bench itself isn't fastened to the sawhorses, but there are a couple of cleats on the underside of the bench that prevent it from sliding around. Occasionally I'll clamp the bench to the sawhorses if there is movement. I've found this style of bench to be much more adaptable for different types of work.

[@martijnwillems]

It's a wari kebiki

[@kevinolver39]

Awesome work! About a months’ worth of time?

[@BigSandWoodworking]

Thanks! This panel took me about 2 weeks.

[@mellowfellow9]

@4:53 very smart!

[@MrKjetil1965]

Very inspiring to watch! Can I ask where you buy tools and planes?

[@BigSandWoodworking]

I bought the planes from a shop in Japan called Pro Shop Hokuto

[@levanimaminashvili]

11:09 how can i buy that tool?

[@ralhmcc47]

Jon, where did you get the irons (cutters) for your planes? great work stay safe Ralph

[@BigSandWoodworking]

From a shop called Pro Shop Hokuto, Check out this page towards the bottom. www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~ttoishi/sub55.html

[@Bernardino25]

Did you oil the panel?

[@BigSandWoodworking]

No, shoji screens and kumiko work like this typically don't receive any finish. The wood is hand planed smooth and left natural.

[@Bernardino25]

What wood do you use? Thanks.
