** 2 May 2023: Please note that I have unfortunately had to bring my kumiko and woodworking life to a close. Mariko, my wife of 43 years, was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer and had to undergo a bone marrow transplant just over a year ago. My time is now entirely devoted to looking after her. This is why there have been no additional kumiko videos uploaded. I'm sorry for the lack of activity, but I hope you all can understand my position. Thanks, and all the very best with your kumiko efforts.
Cheers,
Des

Shoji and kumiko patterns — 11 Kasane rindō pattern
In this video, I show how to make the very simple but very attractive kasane rindō pattern.
The saw I use in the video, and the one I strongly recommend for all kumiko work is the Nakaya EAKS D210C crosscut dozuki saw. An excellent saw with perfect balance.
The timber I use is hoop pine.

In this video I answer a few questions that I'm regularly asked, including time taken to complete patterns, and especially about marking accuracy. I also show what I did with the umebachi panel I made in the last video. The timber types I used are hoop pine for the kumiko and Tasmanian blackwood for the folding screen frame.

Sou um grande admirador desse trabalho incrível parabéns
Splendid !
Take care, Des. May God bless you and your family.
How I wish you worked in inches and not mm. Everysingle of my tools are in inch.
Thank you very much for your videos sir. I've bought your 4 books just now. I hope you and your wife are ok sir. Best wishes from Mexico
brilliant videos and books
Sharing your knowledge and skills with the world, and for free, is truly admirable! Thank you Des, i have bought some of your ebooks and they are invaluable resources that i recommend others look into purchasing . Looking into your body of work is so inspirational. Thanks again, and on a side note, i hope that you and your family are doing well, truly.
fantastic videos, very grateful, many thanks
What the price for this one?
Thank you, excellent video!
I made a jig to do everything. It doesn't have the perfect cuts shown in the video, but the final product still looks good. unfortunately I cannot upload my jig with my mini saw in comments.
Thank you for making this series of videos
Amazing, I'm going to need to watch this 100 more times before I even get started.

Love the aged hardworking hands God bless you sir
I know this is 3 years old, but thank you for showing your jig. I do have all the power tools to do this stuff, but I really prefer doing things with hand tools. I normally cooper buckets, make wooden boxes from logs or axe carve spoons, but my wife pointed this out to me and I thought it was neat. When I looked it up though *everyone* is using table saws or crazy jigs with foot powered saws. I was like, if they've been doing this for such a long time, surely they were doing it with simple hand tools. It's a hobby; I want to take my time and enjoy the process. Noisy power tools really ruin the experience for me.
Its great god bless you sir
Desmond sensei. You are a treasure. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. 🙇♂️
pls keep going on this chanel mr ds we are waiting for you
Ordered your book thank you for sharing
kumiko, kumikoって、人の名前でもあるんだし、呼び捨てはあかんよ 同音異義語を踏まえて、最低限の礼儀は配慮しないとな
I love the both exercise-videos. Your books are on my wishlist, I think next month I will order them. It is a pity that you retired, but I understand it and I hope that you and your wife are well and enjoy your retirement 😊.
Thank you for a very nice & useful totorial :)!!!!
What a beautiful work of art 👏 I could really see myself getting started on my own Kumiko journey!
I’m not a woodworker, but I really enjoyed this video! Just found it!
Just fascinating Des... I'm going to look for the books on Amazon UK. I man of your skills will appreciate this... czcams.com/video/2QBcc87yoc8/video.html
can your country make kumiko and sell them
Amazing! Very interesting! Congratulations! 🇧🇷

This man has the veins that heroin users envy!! Your skills are appreciated my friend.
Oiga señor King, active los subtítulos para poder traducir lo que dice, por favor. Lo veo desde el sur de Chile.
I've searched the Internet and I'm trying to source ha ganna blades , i can make the dai myself, joiner of 35yrs, just getting serious about kumiko
Amazing
What a great video! Best I've seen.
Love videos. Where did you get clamps for this?
I can't figure out at what angle the little pieces of the puzzle are assembled and how deep the groove is. Thanks for the reply ...
habla mucho y trabaja poco
Woow
I know you can find solutions to this problem in the Stodoys plans.
i thought about subscribing, but then i noticed that your last video is older than 6 months which is why i consider this channel dead. that is why i won't subscribe.
Great and very informative videos, thank you! What is the western block plane you are using, please?
I read through your Book 1 but I could not find details of the western plane (it is on photograph 38) I think the western plane will be easier for me to set up (to finish small kumiko motiff pieces). To be honest as a complete beginner I am a bit terrified of purchasing and using the japanese planes. However the western block planes I find often too heavy for my wrist. Any advice would be much appreciated.
@@lumay333 It is a low angle block plane. Luban (Queshang) make a good one at a reasonable price.
this is the only video about making kumiko lamp, that is very simple bu't also very understandable, helpful video
Great video! what is the sliding bevel name you are using? I wonder if I can get it in the UK...
Really appreciate your videos, can't wait for your books to arrive here. Saying I'd make the missus something nice has given me more buy in to my woodshop build as well, cheers!
Beautiful work - you are truly talented
Love your work and have books 1 through 3 . I do have a question , what glue do you use?
Thanks very much for buying my books. The glue is just standard white PVA glue that dries clear.
Dear Des, would you please be so kind and tell me what the orange plastic part is called for gluing, which can be seen, for example, at 1:52. Many Thanks! Bruce
Hi Bruce. I bought these years ago and I can't remember where. Possibly Lee Valley or Rockler. This particular type doesn't seem to be available at those stores anymore. If you do a search for glue paddles, something might come up. Cheers. Des
How i can get the books? I'm in Syria, thank you
Any of the Amazon stores have them available.
awesome work, learned so much on your channel thank you :)
