Pretty amazing.

I didn’t see them apply any glue, none is needed?

Kumiko woodworking. Thank you for posting.

Hmmmm.......IDK. Yes, it is obvious these guys have skills, but is it in wood working or puzzle making? Assembly is one half of the component, but in the vid I didn't see too much of the carpentry aspect being utilized to make the pieces. Only once was I amazed and that was when that narrow piece was being sliced in half with a very thin kerfed back saw. The corner mortise and tenons looked great, but we never got to see the woodworkers actually cutting the joints. They looked too perfect and I began to think that a router cut the mortise and tenons.

The craftsmanship was there, but I'd have liked to see how they cut the pieces and I bet it took an annoyingly long time.

I wonder how the top and bottom rail are retained in the first gate?  Did I miss a wedge?

Nice - I have watched a number of the japanese craftsmanship videos. There are a lot of skilled artisans there, just as we have here. Different styles.

Great Vids Jack. It seems most of the joinery is done with sugar pine or the Japanese equivalent. Other than that I can sure relate to the hard work involved with turning out perfect joints.

Kumiko is fascinating stuff, Just delving into this a bit myself. In this case I used it to divide compartments in a jewelry box. Full grain leather beneath tends to pop the lighter colored wood.

Wow, Ron. I like that jewelry box.

Thanks, here's the tool I made for getting small piece out of the compartments. Basically just a wooden pair of tweezers.
