I bought a set of nice pull saws a few years ago and it makes projects so much easier.

That's a lot of effort for one dovetail. This is why people use glue.

Isn't there tools that could do this more effecently?

Efficiently? It only took him like 30 seconds!

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes. The idea is to preserve traditional joinery as an art/handcraft, not replace it with laser measured, machine pre-cut pieces.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Ahh a artform of sorts

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes, if you wanted pure utility you'd just use wood glue, possibly with a lap joint or fasteners depending on application.

I have that same saw. I fucking LOVE IT!

Well shit and here's me doing it with a couple of screws in about two minutes when I could have spent an hour on it! Pretty though.

An hour? Shit, that's an afternoon after you mess up a time or 2 ha

Japan has, naturally, almost no iron. Katana forging was such an involved process because it was also purifying the iron sand they had.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

This was developed when nails were super expensive, and could be worth more than the rest of the whole house. Now just for fun of course.

Easier if you just get a bigger piece of wood and cut a T out of it. Work smarter, not harder.

Those joints are designed to need no glue nor nails, withstand expansion of wood and still be very sturdy. And easily taken apart

If nails are used they are going to rust rather fast, which is not good for temples and shrines.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

and rust protects the underlyin metal.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Japan is very humid, so wood construction expands and contracts seasonally, which loosens any metal fasteners and fatigues the metal.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

or japan had shitty quality iron ore, and had very little of it. aka the reason they had to fold those swords.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Even when they did eventually get access to good steel, they seemed to prefer eschewing metal fasteners for a very long time.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ah yes. Metal. Known by mankind to last far less long as temple building material than *checks notes* ... WOOD.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Actually, yes. The oldest surviving Japanese shrine is all-wood and is so old nobody is sure when it was built, but definitely before 950AD.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Metal fasteners in a humid environment like Japan get loosened by the seasonal shrinking and expanding of the surrounding wood.

Otherwise known as the dovetail joint, what makes this Japanese?

5 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Maype the use of a japanese saw? I dunno.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

From what I remember, due to the lack of metals for nails a lot of Shinto Shrines/etc use this type of woodworking, so large use numbers?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Not that it's unique to Japan, but the large scale use of it makes it more familiar to a region/country.

It looks like a half-dovetail? It looks like they remove half the tail?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It’s a sliding dovetail joint, used to join stretchers to leg or case sides in front of drawer runners.

Yeah but it’s made by a guy whose family has been doing nothing else for the past 800 years. So I guess it’s better than yours

As a woodworker with over 40 years experience, it's much easier with hardwoods than softwoods.

Actually easier with hardwood. Your tools have to be crazy sharp with pine otherwise you just crush the soft wood.

5 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 1

And stropped every 15 to 20 hard cuts :/

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Wouldn't soft wood compress with motion and time and mess up the bond as well?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not really. If you can achieve the cut and fit them as such they will both be gr7

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you buy cheap softwood like construction wood it is likely not dried properly. So you would have some serious shrinkage over time

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

With sharp tools that’s not harder, actually easier as a more dense wood type is less prone to crack. Source; I tried this with pine once

I think he cracked his pine and immediately started reading up on why.

5 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

I knew this before. But some why I thought it was a good idea to make a test piece out of pine but it was more hassle than it was worth
