This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much. It was quite clear, though I will watch it a few more times to make sure I understand how to transfer marks properly for the diagonal pieces.
Oh here, too thank you :) As a person who grew up with the metric system, using the imperial system is nothing but challenge but I just enjoy it, haha. Maybe one day I get better skill, I may re-make this video in both metric/imperial.
@@YRTi I have lived with imperial all my life and it still drives me crazy. I have to frequently stop and do math division in my head. Maybe it’s just good for our brains?!
Hi again! Yes, as it's just cutting small portions of strips so as long as you mark right, it's doable! Of course there are difference between the professionals and hobbyers in terms of finishing quality, processing time, and something that even hobbyers can't know, though.
"I know imperial system doesn't do well with decimals." If it were 0.1443375 cm, wouldn't you just write 14.4 mm and skip the criticism? In the inch system, we do the same. We would write 0.144 which is understood as 144 milli-inch (but we say "thou"). Decimal meters and inches are very similar in how we use them. Generally, though, that's how machinists think. You've specified the width of the cut to a 1/2 millionth of an inch (20 nano meters). That's not really a unit-system problem, is it? Woodworkers use systems that work for the level of detail needed. Boat builders use inches, eighths, and sixteenths of an inch. For simplicity, 1-7/16 would be written 1-3-1, which is more effective in the workshop. Obviously other specialties need to be closer than 1/16 in but in woodworking 1/64 are adequate for almost all work. In machining, 64ths is for rough work that can be measured by eye with a scale. Also, in Japan there's customary units, such as shaku, which are widely used by woodworkers. It is not a useful unit for "official purposes" such as global trade so on the internet, it looks like metric is the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything. However, people often prefer customary units and fractions, depending on the situation. Although I understand that everything would be easier if we had 1 international system of units, couldn't the same argument be made for language, food, culture, etc? ABOUT THE VIDEO THOUGH, I appreciate the explanation, drawings, and demonstration. It helped me a lot.
Thank you for the feedback and the explanation:) It helps me understand woodworking more! I grew up with the metric system and I'm still confused by the imperial system so it was just irony(sorry if I bothered you)... Let's say, mark a 1.41mm point with a metric ruler with 1/10th of a mm indicator. I can simply mark a point little bit more than 1.4mm. On the other hand, if I need to mark a 1.41", I can't simply mark 1.41" on a ruler but it needs math to find the closest indicator on the imperial ruler, which is 9/64 but it requires a complicated math. If I can plan a project in all good numbers in fraction(1/8,1/16,1/32,1/64), it's not much of a thing but when it requires trigonometric function to design a thing, it usually needs decimals.. Sadly, I'm far away from 64ths accuracy:( but as far as I read, they use 1/10th of mm(256ths) accuracy in Japanese woodworking so at least I'm challenging it for fun! I hope you enjoy making Kumiko!

Yes, this video I looking for. Thanks. Salute from Indonesia.
Glad to hear that! Hope you'll enjoy making Kumiko!

Thank you for the comment and I'm glad to hear that! Please let me know if you have any questions when you try it out!
Love your explanations! Perfect for beginners! 👏
Oh haha, I feel kind of weird listening to myself but yeah, thank you:)
Very well done!
Thank you 😎👍
Fun video, and very informative. I wouldn't mind if you did it again using metric, as that surely would be easier.

Very good vid on how to do this pattern, like you say it does sound hard but in reality not so, thanks for sharing

Very cool!
Thank you!
great job congratulations 🎉🎂🎉🎉🎉
Thank you🤗
Really good videos, keep it up! Though I only work in Metric, so it's a bit hard for me to understand the math :)
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! Math is hard to me regardless of the unit :)
Gracias!!!
De nada, King!
I tried to explain it as clearly as possible but now I feel... Sorry, please use your imagination to understand what I wanted to say!
👍🌞
🙌🙌
You cut glue a strip of wood to your saw to use as a depth stop.
Thank you for the advice and the comment:) My mission, "how to video" of Kumiko is now completed!

Am I the only one who got confused?
I would be super surprised if that is the case but where were you confused?
