I love japanese saws. Best concept for a handsaw one could own.
TheMentallyillist
Now do it using .... a herring!
DasDovian
I bought a set of nice pull saws a few years ago and it makes projects so much easier.
drunkmastered
Lazy bastard. Just put on a mask and go to the furniture store.
wantanMike
There’s gotta be a Kreg jig for this ?!
NagaZero
That's a lot of effort for one dovetail. This is why people use glue.

Seggs

JackSwyr
Perfect! Japanese saws are the best, I have several of them.

What tool is he using at the 15 second mark?
BramGallagher
That is a router plane I believe
Cranberrylover
Jeez Louise I would just have used a nail. I'm impressed by the mere patience of the guy!
onemisplacedcomma
Is that a Joint Venture?
Yourpoliticalpartyisaterroristorganization
Yeah, ill just use screws
tequilamockingbirb
What saw is that?...looks like a chopper
PartlyDave
Japanese pull saw.
AreYouPlayingTHEGame
It’s a SUIZAN dovetail saw. They’re absolutely amazing! Cuts through wood like butter!
TheWarHymn
Pull or dowel saw. Very useful to have around if you do woodworking.
Datmemeboii
A Japanese saw
njcnetdude
Our house in Japan did not have a single screw or nail in the entire frame
Imjusthereforthecomments
No shit? You gots pics?
numnut1987
same here entire building is concrete and brick
ToxicIndigoKittyGold
100% wood join.
RedPandaDeluxe
Lol. Quit it.
thatwoodguy
Dont support Amazon, buy the saw from Lee Valley or Japanese Woodworker
ryo0hki
Isn't there tools that could do this more effecently?
BramGallagher
Efficiently? It only took him like 30 seconds!
beenpostingsince
Yes. The idea is to preserve traditional joinery as an art/handcraft, not replace it with laser measured, machine pre-cut pieces.
ryo0hki
Ahh a artform of sorts
shadefang
Yes, if you wanted pure utility you'd just use wood glue, possibly with a lap joint or fasteners depending on application.
AreYouPlayingTHEGame
I have that same saw. I fucking LOVE IT!
LittlePinkAnimal
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.
ScorchedEarthMotherFucker
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.
Jakeythejew
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.
joshcrimson
Easier if you just get a bigger piece of wood and cut a T out of it. Work smarter, not harder.
BraveSlayer
dennydorko
Neat.
MyronTheDormouse
Those joints are designed to need no glue nor nails, withstand expansion of wood and still be very sturdy. And easily taken apart
joshcrimson
I appreciate the explanation, although I was just making a joke.

Would have been less confusing if I had ended it with this instead.
yasakajinja
If nails are used they are going to rust rather fast, which is not good for temples and shrines.
numnut1987
and rust protects the underlyin metal.
Stostri
Japan is very humid, so wood construction expands and contracts seasonally, which loosens any metal fasteners and fatigues the metal.
numnut1987
or japan had shitty quality iron ore, and had very little of it. aka the reason they had to fold those swords.
Stostri
Even when they did eventually get access to good steel, they seemed to prefer eschewing metal fasteners for a very long time.
beenpostingsince
Ah yes. Metal. Known by mankind to last far less long as temple building material than *checks notes* ... WOOD.
Stostri
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.
Stostri
Metal fasteners in a humid environment like Japan get loosened by the seasonal shrinking and expanding of the surrounding wood.
drosophilamelanogaster
Otherwise known as the dovetail joint, what makes this Japanese?
FailedCrate
Maype the use of a japanese saw? I dunno.
criticalhitkoala
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?
criticalhitkoala
Not that it's unique to Japan, but the large scale use of it makes it more familiar to a region/country.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
It looks like a half-dovetail? It looks like they remove half the tail?
tenaciousjeebs
It’s a sliding dovetail joint, used to join stretchers to leg or case sides in front of drawer runners.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Thank you! Did not know.
tyrfin
He used a Japanese style push saw I guess
hymenochirus
Which appears to just be a gent saw?
LordPaimon
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
hymenochirus
I come from a family of carpenters, so perhaps not, no.
LordPaimon
Is your family tree 800 years old and every free time you have you’ve spent on furthering your craft to make it a religious experience?
vitaminalgas
Now do this with oak...
killersoda275
Nah, mangrove wood
JustSomePersonThere
Hey man I fucking LOVE mangroves!!!!!!!!
Marine0311
As a woodworker with over 40 years experience, it's much easier with hardwoods than softwoods.

derboexnergammler
Actually easier with hardwood. Your tools have to be crazy sharp with pine otherwise you just crush the soft wood.
approvalguy
And stropped every 15 to 20 hard cuts :/
LittlePinkAnimal
Wouldn't soft wood compress with motion and time and mess up the bond as well?
jacopopeterman
Not really. If you can achieve the cut and fit them as such they will both be gr7
derboexnergammler
If you buy cheap softwood like construction wood it is likely not dried properly. So you would have some serious shrinkage over time
Raydeeo
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
weerdo
True..
TwoBadMiloshDead
Pine is soft.
Glasma
Post is correct pine is softwood https://www.hunker.com/13710310/is-pine-a-hardwood
Raydeeo
Yep. And it cracked and splintered so many times. ?
shadefang
Yes, it's easy to cut, but a pain in the ass to cut precisely.
DoubleSunMoonMoon
I think he cracked his pine and immediately started reading up on why.
Raydeeo
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
