Making the "Impossible Joint" 四方鎌継

Making Shihou Kama Tsugi (four-way goose neck joint). When you first look at it, it can be confusing as this joinery is on all four sides, without a way to be taken apart. But this joinery actually slides diagonally, making this "illusion" possible.
The wood is Walnut and Birch.

I usually scroll through videos like this to save time, just wanting to get an idea of how the affects are achieved. But the precision and sharpness of the tools were mesmerizing. Had to watch it all the way through. If any of my tools were that sharp, I'd be a danger to myself and anyone within arm's reach. Truely amazing work. Thank you for the video.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you! That's great to hear! 😊

[@mikelliteras397]

Same here, first I had to guess at how it pops together, then I wondered how he got those tools so sharp where he could push them through hard wood. I ended up watching everything

[@Hermelin.G1]

sharp tools are safer than stump tools😉

[@jimmurphy6095]

@@Hermelin.G1 Exactly... Less force is required to push the tool through the material. Less chance of a slip.

[@Hermelin.G1]

@@jimmurphy6095 absolutely correct!

Truly Amazing as a 61yr old woodworker who still cuts mortise & tennons & Dovetails by hand, I don’t think I could make this joint even if I practiced for the next 10yrs👏👏💪💪🔨🪚📐👨🏻‍🦯👨🏻‍🦯

I would make an unfixable mistake so quickly. There isn't a single step to this process that I could not mangle beyond recognition. THOSE are some tight seams, bravo!

bravo, it just shows that sometimes there are solutions even to problems that seem impossible

Something about the sped up sounds of carving and chiseling is a bit mesmerizing

[@HighMaintenancePS]

Imagine the competency of the craftsman who invented this joint.

[@donaldjones8920]

This is amazing craftsmanship, and I am ashamed to admit, but who else besides me skips to the end to watch him fit the pieces together?

[@Observ45er]

Very well done. This is a degree of craftsmanship that few people can achieve and it appears that even fewer can appreciate.

What kind of timber is this? Man it looks amazing. Your craftmanship is astounding. It is so hard to hand carve with precision, your tools are maintained!I work as a labourer doing houselifting in New Zealand. We usually work on houses that are over 100 years old and the amount of timber we pull out that was first sprouted since the early 1800s is honestly what I love about my job. The aroma when you cut through it is one you'd imagine when you think of ancient forests thick with trees that have endured nature and all its chaos yet untouched by modern day pollution. If you were to try to hammer a common nail into it the nail would bend and youd probably hit your finger. It is the best wood for carving and You've given that tree respect, turned it into something that people look at with wonder. I would usually take the timber home for firewood during the winter, but I'm going to buy me some fine chisels and spend some of those cold nights trying to achieve your level of skill. I can't get over this. Awesome.

[@mzi6519]

The brown one is Japanese cherry and the white one is akamatsu . Both are only available in Japan and if you want to importe them they will cost you a Lot

[@t.wizzlr]

@@mzi6519 dang, well I won't be affording any wood from Japan, however pristine it is. Guess I'll keep working with Kāuri and Rimu for now, just a couple trees native to New Zealand. Who knows hopefully not too far in the future I'll be able to get my hands on some of that Japanese wood. Edit: I had to capitalize Japanese my grammar sucks but the small j was annoying me.

[@jenn976]

This is exactly what I had in mind. I *love* this kind of joinery. Beautifully done and well-executed.

14:26 That's the secret; it slides in from the side. Crazy precision, by the way. I can not do that.

I know it's hard for us to do this shape, but I don't think it's secret. Most of the people know that's suppose to slides from the side during first time see this joint.
