Timberframe spline joint: how to make a complex and strong Japanese spline joint (Woodworking ASMR)

[@opendstudio7141]

Texas boy goes full out ozarkian stone cutter to Japanese woodworker and blacksmith. From modernia to stoneage in a single lifetime as a storyteller without speaking idle words; an exploratory journey by invitation that allows us to witness you reasoning and traveling the quiet roads of simple living. 👍

Cool comment.

It is so peaceful watching your videos, amazing craftmanship. As a 60 year old disabled woman, if I can make something myself I will give it a go. it does not matter if it is not perfect as long as it is stable and last a good few years, I am happy. Watching your video's have taught me a few skills over the years Mr Chickadee. Thank You 🌻

Language is a vehicle for expression, his artistic expression being the very definition of perfection would render language lipstick on a baboon!

[@benanddadmechanical6573]

I’m always astounded by how sharp he manages to keep all of his tools. He makes these complex joints almost effortlessly.

[@165Dash]

Woodworking skill notwithstanding, Mr Chickadee and whom ever is handling the camerawork are damn good filmmakers. Shot setups, lighting, editing, drone footage, sound design all add up to a remarkable cohesive and visually balanced whole. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@tomnekuda3818]

For the life of me I do not know where you've gotten all your skills. I did a lot of carpenter work and used to repair old barns in the Mississippi River Valley that were all pegged together w.o. any nails what-so-lever. I was able to do a lot of what you do but I was totally self-taught and would have loved to have a master who could teach me many of the techniques you use. I enjoy every minute of seeing you work. I'm too old now to be doing what you do and am racked with arthritis, so I have to "live thru you" these days. Good work!

[@rmojo23]

Please write a book on what you make look so easy! As always you are an artist and an inspiration.

The drilling sound is so satisfying

[@narvik6136]

Only came across your channel couple months ago & totally hooked. My father was a chief ship Wright in the Royal Navy and he rarely used power tools in home projects. Watching you use woodwork in its purest form highlights how much project construction these days uses biscuits , glowing & screwing rather than proper joinery methods. Keep up the good work

[@SBauiLund]

im just silent when i watch your videos, i just sit an admire what a human is capable of. i take my hat off for you and you have my respect. I hope the best for you and family. Your work is grately apriciated. Kind regards, Sebastian from Denmark.

[@mooseknuckle8334]

*PLEASE* add a 'Narration in the Closed Captions' overlay for the first thirty seconds or so. Many of us don't know (or forget) to turn them on for your videos and so lose some of the most important parts.

I have watched all ,or mostly all,of this chaps vids . Wonderful stuff . You must remember he was a soldier and is self taught . Yes ,yes I know he looks like a modern Jedi Master but it just shows what a person with hand tools can do . I have seen NOTHING AND NOBODY to better him . Bravo young sir.BTWIt never ceases to amaze me how he has all the time in the world to do stuff and yet accomplishes so very much with hand tools . I really enjoy watching him work as I am old now and Rudd look Ed with arthritis. It brightens my days for sure ,thank you.

[@clydedecker765]

Ooo. In a LOT of ways I am glad I'm not doing what you are -- I'd never be able to sleep until ALL of the joints were done and assembled for fear that they would expand or contract or warp before I could complete them. I LOVE what you do and I can see your skill and confidence grow with each video. Thanks for letting me peek at what you're doing.

[@bosweg10]

Such a joy to watch your craftsmanship. I learn a lot from details like the space in your workbench to safely put aside a chisel. Thank you

[@makenchips]

very interesting joint. love the wedge pins to draw the beams into the final position. Notice you did not force them but listen to the ring of the timber to tell you to stop! Very interesting how just one pin each will how the timbers together! I would think for a beam that big the pins would have to be 1 inch at least! I really like wedges and the work they can do. I find it interesting you have a traditional bench and not a Japanese planning beam instead since that is what you do most and you practice Asian timber farming practices. Great Channel.
