From my understanding, kumiki referes to wooden puzzles and kumiko are wooden lattices

Thanks so much!

Thank you! The strips I used are 1/2" and I wanted the epoxy to fill up the pockets half way so both pours are about 1/4" deep

It absolutely can be cut with a CNC. However, this is a traditional form of Japanese woodworking and I wanted to do it the traditional way. It's far more rewarding and it leaves sharp corners rather than round corners that the CNC would leave.

Thank you!! I really appreciate that!

Thanks so much!!

Thank you. I'm glad you like it!

This is a great space saving solution. You can increase stablity by doubling up on the two plywood sheets that make up the sides.

This is such a great costume idea!! I love how you tackled the project

You definitely can but keep in mind you can only use one end at a time because you would have to move the sliding stop

Sorry about that. It's 1 1/8" thick but you can make it any thickness you'd like

They are included in furniture and various other object to add an artist and decorative touch. They don't serve any structural purpose or anything else like that. Here's a great link that someone shared below with info about different patterns and their meanings, if your interested. https://www.tanihata.co.jp/english/products/list.h...

True but it's a softwood in my book. It acts like one and works like one. Semantics

Thanks for providing that link! Those are great examples of various patterns and the meaning behind. I just bookmarked it

Balsa is a great option!! Completely forgot about that. I wouldn't recommend hardwoods for starting out with kumiko. They are much more difficult to work with. Basswood can also be found at Michael's craft stores. They sell carving blocks at the one in my area (about 4" x 9" x 2" I think) and that's what I started with.

Beautiful design guys!! That sling came out looking great

Great simple solution! Seems very cost affective as well

I downloaded these plans a while back and have been selling these at craft shows. They always go over great! Thanks David

You can use a chamfer router bit to accomplish that

To have interchangable stamp heads. He mentions it in the video

Can you carve the rubber just like you would wood on the cnc? Should you go faster or slower? Is there anything specific to know about the process? Thanks!

Such a cool display!!! I'll have to keep it in mind for future projects

I absolutely love this design and how you only used a couple tools to build it! This would be cool as a wall mounted boom arm lamp too. Great work bud

One of my favorite videos of yours. Great stuff Paul!!

Love the paper roll storage. Great tips April!!

I thought the same things. It seems they kept the entire shape for alignment purposes

Great work and video. I love how you just used a bandsaw for the majority of the work

I love that hinged top design! Great work

This is so cool!! Great way to teach physics to children

I've thought about a vertical turntable like this in the past. This is a great design! The tonearm is what complicated things for me and lead to me not making it

Thanks for sharing these tips! Those shop stands seem to be a great option for this

That inlay on the headboard is stunning!! Great work that will last many generations

Yes, asa-no-ha is the name of this particular pattern. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of other types of kumiko patterns. Kumiko (translated to lattice) is the name of this type of woodworking and it comes from Japan. You might be able to find basswod at your local lumberyard. Call them in advance to see if they carry it. You don't absolutely need basswood to make this. Any type of softwood would work. You can probably find poplar at Home Depot or Lowe's and a 2x4 might even work. Just experiment and have fun.

This room turned out great! You guys have a great eye for design. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks Kink! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The jigs make it a much simpler process than you might think

Great idea to add real crystals to cap off the look

Hands down the best project on this site! Thanks for the tips on working with the glass

Great build! You really broke it down in easy and simple steps. I made a marking knife a while ago using a dull planer blade and it was very difficult to work. I might make another one using your method

Thanks for including the fusion and sketchup renderings. It was really cool to see that behind the scenes process

Lighting solutions, out of your material"comfort zone", winter heating solutions

Thanks for breaking down this build in easily achievable, and simple steps. Also, love the knockdown feature!

Thanks for the tips and breaking down all the achievements with their number values

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoy it

Nice! I've heard good things about the product but never tried it out myself

It's "Wipe-on Poly" by Minwax. Home Depot carries it

Sure! It's made by Shelter Logic

Hahaha that would be pretty neat!

Thank you!! I definitely did haha 💪

Thank you Kink!!!

Thank you. I appreciate that �

Thank you. I appreciate that

My pleasure! Glad I can help

Thanks! This is something I forgot to mention. That's a great video you linked. It's a great way to square a square. It's also important to make your sure your testing your square an a straight surface

Great! I'm glad I can help. I'd love to see what you come up with. Be sure to post it in the section below this post

I don't understand your question. What do you mean?

Putting it in the dishwasher seems like a good tip. However, cleaning the blade while it's running in the saw is not a safe way to go about cleaning your blade. The steps I have outlined above took a total of 25 minutes for me to complete. It doesn't take much time, isn't messy, and it's the safest method I know. The blade isn't running and you don't need to use harm chemicals.

Thank you! I fixed it
