Making Hexagonal Kumiko - Asanoha and Rindo Patterns

[@frankcornfield5915]

The most relaxing 14 minutes I've had in a long time! Great kumiko as usual and very inspiring.

[@AdrianPreda]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KenDay]

Beautiful. A refreshing and nourishing 14 minutes in these difficult times. Thank you Adrian

[@AdrianPreda]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@melindajohnson3394]

Watching this felt like sitting down chatting with a long lost friend over coffee. Can't wait for what the new year brings.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Melinda! Have a great year as well!

[@TheBearGrylz]

Years ago one of your videos inspired me to try my hand at kumiko. Since then I’ve loved it. You are very good at it. Well done as always!!! Loving the octagonal. Precision was difficult for me. I can imagine this will be even more challenging. Love the mdf jig.

[@AdrianPreda]

Oh, cool then! I want to make next a bigger one, like a landscape, but I will cut the lap joints on the table saw. But filling the triangles will be done by hand, and there is the tremendous work🙂 also I plan to make them smaller, 30mm vs 45 like here in the clip. Don't know how will I succed filling more complex patterns into those spaces, but will see🙂

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

Your book recommendations (especially the desmond king books) have helped so much - this is definitely one of my favorite videos :) thanks again for sharing.

[@AdrianPreda]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching too!

[@marcoveneziano7364]

I know I've already said that, but truly yours is the best woodworking channel. Hope you'll be able to make more videos soon

[@TomDanaher]

Cutting the 4 cuts on the A before removing the waste is brilliant. I always have an issue with the saw falling into the "hole". Leaving the waste til last...mind blown... Love the simplicity of your jigs as well. I have copied what I can and they work super.

[@chesterkrsk]

*Happy New Year Adrian!* *Thank you very much for your efforts.* *It was very meticulous and very precise work, you deserve a high mark of skill.* *All the best to you.* *Best regards, Alexander CHEST'ER* 🤝

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Alex, Happy New Year! Cheers!

[@craftedworkshoptll9891]

It was hard for me to watch the video without the pain in my eyes. I don't want to imagine what it would be like to work something like that, I think that after 5 minutes of work, I would have had to give up. Awesome work as always

[@AdrianPreda]

Ah, you get used to it :) Thanks, Tudor!

[@obrejacosmin8295]

I love your videos and appreciate the hard work you put behind the scenes. The outcome is amazing every time!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you so much!

[@kiwdwks]

So awesome!! Thank you for showing how these are even possible.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

That is extraordinary work, Adrian! Thank you for posting. Regards from Scotland!

[@AdrianPreda]

Many thanks!

[@charltonwang]

Happy New Year, Adrian. Looking forward to another year of your videos. :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Hapoy New Year! Thanks, will try to do more🙂

[@erickozokas]

Beautiful work. Your seams are right on. Love your videos. Very relaxing. This type of work intimidates me but looks so satisfying. Can't wait to see more of your work this year.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you so much!

[@donnadimeo]

Thanks so much for the video! I have the Desmond King books, and a companion video really helps with the process. Really helps!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks for watching too! Des King has videos as well for many of the patterns, and better explained. I just did mine for "artistical" purpose let's say. But can be an extra companion too.

[@molegrip3860]

Soothing viewing - cheers ! (& a Happy New Year)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Happy New Year!

[@LillianKZ123]

I've just stumbles onto you video this morning. I've watched this one 4 time now! Mot excellent and inspiring! My son and I are very new to Kumiko and are collaborating on our first project. Could you give some information on the guide you introduce at 1:42 into the video? Very, very useful.

[@jasonrobinson9524]

Wow, great work Adrian! I've never seen the rindo pattern before. Looks great, and great work as always!

[@CutitwithaHammer]

Another excellent video, Adrian! I should spend more time doing Kumiko. Des's books are excellent.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Yeap, the next 2 books with the diamond and hex pattern are very interesting, so many possibilities

[@adamk1311]

Beautiful work, stunning video production!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@claudiozuniga9268]

Usted tiene la paciencia de un santo y la habilidad de un Maestro!

[@nikburton9264]

Adrian, you never cease to amaze me with your work! Beautiful! Happy New Year

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Nik! Happy New Year!

[@zachlebar]

Beautiful work! I would love to see a video on that jig you used to chisel the kumiko bevels

[@erickozokas]

Me too

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Those are simply some blocks with a groove at the width of the strip, then trimmed at the ends at the respective angles, usually on the table saw. You can see them also in the books I've linked in the description, but those are wider because the author uses a small plane rather than a chisel.

[@zachlebar]

Adrian Preda Ah very cool. I was planning to check out the books anyway...now I have another reason ☺️

[@So_Iace]

These are so beautiful I can't wait to dive into making these

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Also it's rewarding at the end seeing all fit together

[@So_Iace]

@@AdrianPreda I'm sure and it helps that I don't mind small tedious work

[@SethsProject]

Incredible work my friend! I'm about to be making a kumiko panel here really soon and I'm also going to be cutting the mitsu-kude joint by hand. You made it look really easy here, and I'll be the first to say it is a very difficult thing to pull off!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Seth! That was the first time I did, and I was extra careful with the marks and measurements, and it came out better than the table saw ones, but it took ages :)) Now I want to make a big panel, about 800x300mm and 30mm distance between strips but for sure I will make them at the table saw :)

[@fichtre82]

Happy new year to you Adrian and please, continue posting this kind of marvellous video :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Happy new year! Thanks, will do :)

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Adrian! They look amazing! 😮 Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! Have a great year too!

[@santosbay]

Wonderful Adrian.

[@brownk2]

Great work as always Adrian.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@bloodgracet5640]

This stuff is so average...now have a look at my popcycle stick tic-tac-toe work...now thats art. Seriously, great work Adrian love the vid.

[@davecurda2350]

Unbelievable, amazing, gorgeous.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@DavideFortuna]

2021 Adrian! Let's go!!!

[@AdrianPreda]

Yeh, 21 videos at least 😀😀

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

Amazing as always. Missed your videos.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@trishahardhearted]

That is incredible! Do you plane the wood? Are the short pieces within the frame glued together? Thank you for sharing this video. I enjoyed watching it. It's easy to understand how to make the cuts. I'd like to make a shoji lamp too.

[@hypnoraythompson5824]

absolutely stunning.

[@berniesr]

Very nice work I have just bought a book on Kumiko

[@АлександрВладимирович-к2р]

Браво маэстро, с наступившим вас Новым годом 👍👌✋.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks, happy New Year!

[@andreyvasilyev3226]

So enjoyable to watch this!

[@shanesmith5405]

Different approach to cleaning out the joints. Seems it would definitely be easier to make the second cuts before cleaning out the waist from the first cuts but is it fiddly trying to clean out the little pieces of waist? I will have to try that method though. Thanks, lovely work.

[@AdrianPreda]

I left the first waist uncleaned just to have some support for the 2nd cut, the little dust that's inside the kerf there will help holding it. Dough, I remove later the waste one by one cause my chisel is 1/8" so a little wider than 3mm as the stick thick. I must make some kind of diy

[@LillianKZ123]

I noticed that the guide you are using is the same width as you strips. Mine has a width slightly wider than my strip. Could that cause my cuts to be uneven across the strip?

[@DanielWorkshop]

Those are very sharp tools. :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Actually the chisel was dull😀

[@bbqwithrandy]

That was really cool! My stepdaughter and I watched it together and she said, “I love this!” Where did you find such a small chisel? It’s so cool.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank Randy! There is a set from Veritas, they also have many miniature tools of their bigger ones.

[@allenhsu869]

Simply amazing!

[@josephjisa9788]

So I have the book that lays it out but for the life of me the measuring just boggles my mind. Is there a simpler explanation you could offer on how to establish the hexagon sizing and keeping them equal.

[@martymarqueterie]

happy new year Adrian!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@stoffa]

Fabulous!

[@Thomas-bc6xy]

Hi, I am having an issue with the exact same Japanese plane you made a video on (assuming you got it from finetools right?). I can not get the damn blade and chipbreaker to move, do you have any tips? Thank you in advance.

[@AdrianPreda]

You mean you can't get the blades out for the first time? Try more and insist, they can be stucked due to high humidity. Hammer the corners of the dai, and some lateral kicks on the blade from time to time, no big kicks, and have patience, it may take some time

[@Thomas-bc6xy]

@@AdrianPreda I did manage to get them out by doing this. Thank you

[@Yevgen6R]

Thank you!

[@iliutagabriel8834]

De unde ai procurat dispozitivele ajutătoare ? Sau , le-ai confecționat ?...

[@kairon156]

They should have been teaching this sort of thing in high school math. Though I imagine after a while you just become intuned to what angles you need.

[@DorianBracht]

Great video man!

Thanks Dorian!

Adrian how are I was wondering if could do a video on making the 60 degree jig you use in making the Hexagonal Kumiko by videos hand Keep up the great work I"am just learning to make Kumiko your videos are a great help .Ron Dalby Ontario Canada

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Ron! For the jigs look for Mike Pekovich, Des King, Mike Farington etc they have plenty of info on making the jigs. It's just cutting some angled ends on the table saw and make a slot/groove

[@UlisesUlises-xc6wp]

Maestro!✨🌳

[@DanielH]

👍

[@VORONM]

Nice!

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video, Adrian. The hexagonal kumikos look very nice. The books (Shoji and Kumiko Design 1-3) are not bad if you can read and write English. 😁 Everything is well explained in the books. Unfortunately I can't. Time to ask: >> The wooden fixtures where you cut the angles (120 ° / 45 ° / 60 ° / etc.) How many wooden devices do you need for all the angles?

[@AdrianPreda]

Hi, thank you! Those are simply some blocks of wood, with a groove at the width of the strip, then trim the ends at the respective angle on the table saw. The angles needed for the asanoha pattern are 30 and 60, and for the rindo again 30, then 15 and 75.

[@gunterschone8402]

Hello Adrain, Thanks for the answer! 👍🏻 Can I also use the wooden blocks with the groove for other kumikos? 🤔 I wish you a nice week.

[@ionut5316]

Foarte fain. Am exersat mult kumiko in timpul pandemiei. Mi-am cumparat si o carte, dar mai mult m-au ajutat filmele tale. Cateva probleme: 1. initial nu am reusit sa tai crestaturile la latime constanta. Ba erau prea inguste, ba prea late si grilajul nu era perfect simetric. Pana la urma am cumparat un 'Japanese Double Inlay Knife' pentru a marca exact. Surprinzator, ma descurc mai bine cu un ferastrau vestic decat cu dozuki. Am un carcas saw de la Veritas cu dinti pentru retezare, 14 tpi, si un opritor de adancime magnetic. 2. nu am reusit sa marchez grilajul principal cu rigla, am ales sa folosesc un compas. 3. nu am reusit sa spintec fasiile cu ferastraul dozuki, se infunda des, probabil pentru ca ferastraul meu e pentru retezare. Acum folosesc un kataba nokogiri cu dinti pentru spintecare, agresiv, 5 tpi, care surprinzator lasa o taietura fina.

[@AdrianPreda]

Mersi! 1. Probabil le marcai pe ambele deodata. Intai marchezi o linie, o tai, si apoi marchezi si pe a doua cu o sipca de proba pusa intre echer si pana nu se mai vede taietura precedenta. Mai clar parca am aratat in videoul vechi cu kumiko. Si aici e dar cam repede. 2. Am vazut si eu la altii, cred ca pare mai rapid, o sa incerc si eu 3. La facut sipci cred ca te referi. Eu acum le tai la banzic in faza aia.
