I thing i admire from Japanese culture is the fact that people still respect this work and have kept it alive, while still maintaining fresh people willing to learn and master these techniques. Its also a choice not to mass produce everything. Once this knowledge is no longer used, its quickly forgotten.

I just *love* the way that so much carpentry in Japan uses the approach of "no nails, no screws" - just joints that fit together beautifully! When I did woodwork at school (many years ago), I didn't appreciate how important a good set of chisels (and good skills with them) are to carpentry. Watching videos like this, I've learned how central and important they are to the craft. Patience too. Not expecting instant results, but quietly and steadily working away at what you're doing.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

When you have tons of time to do this yeah

[@alexkozliayev9902]

They used "no nails, no screws" approach, because metal in japan was a very rare thing, they just couldn't make as many nails as needed even if they wanted

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

@@alexkozliayev9902 Most parts of the world with enough wood to allow for building things had some way of building without nails prior to them becoming affordable. IIRC, for a time it was common to attach the nail container to barns to indicate that the owner could afford them. There are simpler ways of attaching those parts with pegs that don't require that much effort. It is a cool way of doing it, but not necessary. Mortis and tenon will also do it and you can drill a hole through both to put a peg if you need to protect against it backing out.

[@elwynpandaria5152]

"no nails, no screws" This is a traditional Chinese tech, Japanese copied it from China.

[@Michael-yx4vy]

China，not Japan. Plz google it and you will understand

[@user-yt9lt9df6w]

There seems to be a slight misunderstanding of some of the comments made by foreigners... This is the construction method used for traditional buildings such as shrines and temples in Japan. For general residential construction, metal bolts and glue, etc., which you are familiar with, are used. The reason why nails and other metals are not used is that Japan is a very humid country. In the past, there were no convenient chemical paints, so combining wood and metal, which absorb moisture, may reduce durability. In addition, while some parts of the restoration of cultural properties require the use of modern techniques according to the standards of the Building Code, many parts must be faithfully reproduced with the techniques of the time. Therefore, it is necessary to inherit specialized ancient techniques such as those shown in this video. They are called miya-daiku (palace carpenters) to distinguish them from carpenters who build ordinary houses.

[@Tasarran]

There are similar carpenters in Europe; you're required to use certain old, authentic techniques and materials when you are repairing or restoring a historic building. I remember hearing about some contractor in the UK who got in hundreds of millions of English pounds of trouble because they did a repair to a historical building with conventional methods.

[@DOGMA1138]

Japanese carpentry was influenced more by how seismically active the Island is, it is no more humid than many parts of Europe, whilst Japan historically had little access to high quality steel iron nails were used. The majority of the Japanese joints are impractical both in terms of their complexity but more importantly in terms of their strength - traditional Japanese joinery is rather weak because if the house can come down at any movement anyhow there is no point of building for longevity. In fact even today in Japan houses are rebuilt every 2-3 decades due to various cultural reasons rather than engineering ones. European carpentry on the other hand was design with robustness in mind both because houses were expected to last much longer but also because European carpentry also needed to support masonry.

A craftsmanship work. Very impressive

[@cyrosgold7]

Looks great, but doesn't all the strength of this joint lay within that L shaped foot like tab that gets held by the two dowels? A point of failure with about 1/4 inch of grain already under tension holding things together and ensuring this joint can't take any stress without that grain tearing and the joint separating.

This is the kind of joint I'm used to seeing in Japanese woodworking. Drive in a wedge and it won't ever release unless you drive the wedge back out. Great video as always, cheers :)

[@ADudeWhoDo]

It kinda reminds me of Inca stonework, they cut stone to fit perfectly together like a puzzle with the gaps too small to even stick a pin in them. And they didn’t even have iron tools!

[@Bob_Adkins]

And if they loosen up some day, just remove the pegs and replace them with slightly bigger pegs.

[@siggyincr7447]

While this very elegant, it's also very weak. The only thing keeping this joint from breaking apart when forces try to open or close the legs is the little 3/4" strip of wood in the center. If the wood shears along the grain, the direction along which wood is it's weakest, the whole thing falls apart.

[@user-fq7vs2de8u]

Amazing! These joint connections are beautiful puzzle locks.

[@Sally4th_]

Thankyou for sharing this video, it brings back memories of watching my own father work. He was an old-style carpenter & joiner who took a pride in making jointed articles with no fixings or glue. Lovely work.

[@OGSomeOne]

There are a lot of steps that could have used power tools to relieve some of the labor but it's nice that he showed how it's done without them. Many people today have never seen a hand saw and wood chisel set.

Yeah, stick in on a CNC router/chisel and make it automatically 1n 30 seconds! :)

[@patrickhector]

​@@Bob_Adkins​ of course only after spending hours of work prepping the tool paths, prepping the equipment, switching tools... Cnc doesn't save you a ton of time over a skilled craftsman with non-computerised power tools unless you're making multiple parts

[@Bob_Adkins]

@@patrickhector If that were true, the factories wouldn't be full of them. A new factory I helped start up in 1977 starterd with about 150 machines, and about 4 of them were CNC. We kept adding more CNC as the old ones needed replacing. I guess you're talking about 1-offs, but when you have a dedicated programmer, he becomes skilled and very fast.

[@patrickhector]

@@Bob_Adkins you landed on my actual point about three quarters of the way through that paragraph, yeah- Inheritance Machining (non-computerised machinist) did a small race against a machinist with a cnc, and didn't lose by much. Of course if the race was to make *two* parts he's be absolutely demolished, but for single parts they're pretty comparable man-hour wise

[@Bob_Adkins]

@@patrickhector I watch Inheritance too, and Abom79. Adam is just learning CAD/CAM but has a little computer phobia so he's very slow. But an experienced production employee would put them all to shame on CNC, even on 1-offs.

[@chriswaldorf1560]

Mesmerizing! Amazing craftsmanship.

[@frantisekvrana3902]

Great job. And aside of being only wood and easy enough to take apart without damaging it, I feel that it is fairly strong. The force it is weakest against (aside of knocking the pegs off), would probably be bending inward (trying to lower the angle). But even then, the inner edge would be the pivot axis, and the smallest surface holding would be between between the inner peg's outmost edge and the outer slant's inner end. Which is quite a lot, considering this is wood and the sufrace would be exposed to tension only about 30° out of the line of grain.

[@_aullik]

I don't really understand it. From my point of view of no experience what i see is a joint held together by a small lip of short grain. Yes that is fairly in the middle so somewhat protected from bends, however it should be stressed every time there is a load either on on of the angles or tension on either limb which should over time weaken that little piece even more until it eventually fails. But again, i have no experience in wood working, just like watching videos.

[@aaronkoning7255]

@@_aullik If wood glue was used in a joint like this, the joint would become practically unbreakable.

[@misterkite]

@@_aullik Agreed.. beautiful joint, weak as hell. And if wood glue is used, it ruins the entire purpose of the joint.

[@TrueAnyKey]

everything ends up being held together by a very small piece of wood. In my opinion, very weakly, this piece of wood can be torn off by hammering these wedges.

[@harryayling-allen]

The thing I like about this is that it's made to last, while still being designed to repair easily if something goes wrong. I'm sure most people without these skills would either use long screws or nails or after drilling holes would join the two pieces with wooden plug fittings (not sure what they're actually called). I appreciate that a little extra work can make something so sturdy yet also save work down the line due to easier disassembly.

He seems like a nice guy with a lot of skill, but this is an extremely weak joint without glue. Just a thin section keeps it together.

With attentive practice you can do it. I was worse than most and hated sawing as a young kid. But when I finally as an adult decided to take up furniture making and went to school, I knew I had to learn this skill. So, I practiced this every day. In a few months I got as precise as this guy.

[@BlunderMunchkin]

Looks to me like there's a weak spot with that little ledge-like overhang. If it cracks along that half-inch wide base it seems like the whole joint would fall apart.

[@Bob_Adkins]

I noticed that too, but it's compressed between the 2 large pegs.

[@ShadowManceri]

[@normanlongthorp8763]

kinda confused by this joint: although it's beautiful (excellent craftsmanship!) and probably quite secure, it doesn't seem like it would be particularly strong. The only stress-bearing piece of wood that's doing any actual connecting is the roughly 1/2" wide section between the two square dowels, and this is being stress-loaded WITH the grain, which seems like it would make it vulnerable to cracking. ???

Mortise and tenon joints have also been found in ancient furniture from archaeological sites in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Many instances are found, for example, in ruins of houses in the Silk Road kingdom of Cadota, dating from the first to the 4th century BC.[7] In traditional Chinese architecture, wood components such as beams, brackets, roof frames, and struts were made to interlock with perfect fit, without using fasteners or glues, enabling the wood to expand and contract according to humidity.[8] Archaeological evidence from Chinese sites shows that, by the end of the Neolithic, mortise and tenon joinery was employed in Chinese construction
