First new trick I've seen in a long time on YT Shorts: Using a piece of timber to keep your chisel square when trimming a joint. Nice 👍

[@mike41062]

I thought the same thing- such a good idea! Crazy easy, simple, and quick set-up, but I'm sure you get muchhh better results than just doing it freehand.

[@darrellbeets7758]

Thats a new trick? Thats kinda funny its something i thought of myself arround the 2nd or 3rd time i used a chisle or a jigsaw

[@darrellbeets7758]

@@mike41062 oh yea for sure. Using a heavy magnetic flat surface works really interesting aswel, tho not many People have welding triangles and flat steel

There are many advantages of this Japanese joint. The first is that it is highly durable. It can be fixed much more firmly than joining wood with screws, and houses built that way still remain today. The second is that you can extend the wood. The length of the wood is limited, but it can be extended to many meters using this method. The third is that the rotten part can be easily replaced. The fourth is that the entire house can be moved by dismantling it and combining it again. There are many other benefits. This video uses a method called Daisenkanawatugi.

It seems very simple but absolutely purposefully done. I dig it 👍

They use this scarf joint in timber framing all the time. It's an excellent and strong joint.

This is scary. Yesterday I got myself a book from the library about this. Now this vid pops up in my shorts.

[@OddSauce]

Yeah man crazy, I read about it on the internet too, they call it "coincidence"

[@JesseRyan]

Don't think the nsa doesn't listen in to every conversation they can hear. Then they sell that info to marketing teams that align your ads with things you're interested in! Sounds like an invasion of your privacy ? Well, that's because it is !

So much time could have been saved by using the saw a little bit more and then clean it up with the chisel.

What wood is that wood wood, yknow the one, that wood that looks so good and woody, the wood in this video?

[@an2thea514]

Not easy to see with the quality of the video, but Yellow seems to be a form of birch or maple(can't see any figure) Red could be Chocobolo Dark brown defenitly is Walnut

Basically a japanese way of doing a scarf joint

[@adenintriphosphat520]

I feel like a lot of this was unnecessary complicated With a few precise cuts it would've been way faster than all those little cuts and chisseling it out

Using a chisel to transpose a machine-cut straight edge to a straight cut appears to be the trick.

You could build a house like this and never need nails

Houses were build only using wood joinery for thousands of years before construction nails were invented in the 1800s

[@hishaamjacobs5934]

Wood work...is there any end to this mans skill

[@calvinthefly]

yes, there is. -sharpening chisels -using the same wood for both parts of the joint so it wont break when the wood expands and contracts -cutting exactly to or along a line with the pullsaw -using the chisel in the direction of the grain so it wont be dull quickly -hammering in wedges from both sides, so it doesnt just conjoin the pieces on one side -etc. -dont even get me started on the metal work.

[@hishaamjacobs5934]

@@calvinthefly okay 👍....but it looks cool

[@justanotherchannel6097]

WhTs the point of this

[@Doublejho]

did you see any nails or screws there? the "point" of it, besides looking aesthetically pleasing, is that it allows you to make incredibly sturdy structures, some still standing even now from ages past, without using anything but wood there aren't metal shortages now, but back then when industry was incredibly limited and what precious metals there were were used on armaments, crockery and all sorts of other things, being able to save metal was a really valuable thing just think about how much metal you'd need to hold an entire house together, then think about how much you'd be saving via these techniques

Would've been even nicer if he just measured properly and didn't need to use that square wedge.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

The square piece is the locking mechanism.

[@CartoonWeasel]

@@ianmacfarlane1241 yes i know. However, measure properly and you dont need it

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

@@CartoonWeasel I'd argue that the Japanese craftsmen know what they're doing. Yes, there's no reason that you couldn't measure both pieces to fit together with an interference fit, but the wedge adds strength. Japanese woodworkers are amongst the best in the World - they've built timber framed houses that have stood for centuries. You might not like the aesthetics of the square wedge, but it seems like an integral part of the joint. It also allows for easy disassembly - knock out the wedge and it's a piece of cake - ready to go back together with another wedge.

[@an2thea514]

The same joint without the "wedge" does exist, but you need to keep in mind this is a type of scarf joint, so it's mostly used in carpentry and if you have beams weighing 400kg each, assembly becomes way easier this way

[@tetsuo964]

Why tho? Ever heard of nails?

[@b.johnathanwarriorinagarde7980]

Y'all know damn well it takes 15 years at least just use to begin using the saw...
