Cutting Kumiko Strips by Handtools // Kumiko Making Part 1

I made this video showing how to cut with handtools the wood strips in order to make a Kumiko pattern. Not only they are cut exactly all the same size, but they are also cleaned and smooth by the plane, so no further finish will be required. The main tool used is a handmade plane thickness jig. This is part one of a Kumiko making series, next one I will make an actual pattern and in the third episode I will be making a box with a Kumiko lid. A good reference in Kumiko making are this book from Des King Shoji and Kumiko Design vol.1 - ■ Some tools used in this video: Suizan 9.5” Dozuki Dovetail - (Amazon) Suizan 9.5” Ryoba Saw - (Amazon) 50 mm blade Kanna - (Amazon), (Dictum) Combination Square 6”/150mm - (Amazon) Kebiki Marking Gauge - (Amazon), (Dictum) Digital Caliper 150mm/6” - (Amazon) ■ List of all my tools: ■ Tools list on Amazon ■ Plans and Products I make on my store here ■ Follow my INSTAGRAM for insights and other projects: As an Amazon and Dictum Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases made through these links. --------------------- Music: Doug Maxwell - Jazz Piano Bar JR Tundra - Together With You
