- I saw this joint while scrolling on Pinterest. (Link here - bit.ly/2Zmh07P) and at first glance it looked so complicated.... After analyzing it a bit, it actually seemed like it would be a pretty simple joint, so I wanted to try it out! Super fun to figure out.... Hope you enjoy!

Just call it the two cut joint. Great work.
Thanks so much! Some commenters are upset I used the word “cut” glad you understood what I meant there
@@3x3CustomTamar You're welcome.
But it's not 2 cuts.
or call it the Snoop Dogg... cause its a REALLY strong joint!
@@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff apparently we live in the world of alternate facts now.
I would call it Triforce Joint, because the edge looks like a Triforce from Zelda.
It totally does
Exactly what I thought too
Same.
Zelda gets my vote!
That was the first thing I thought of as well.
The most impressive part of this great video is the fact that she just used a handsaw and cut a straight line...
Ha. Thanks
@@3x3CustomTamar I must admit, when she said she was just going to simply use a handsaw to cut that angle I was fully expecting her cut to 'wander' about halfway through the cut, but NO....excellent cut Tamar! And thanks for taking the time to make something seemingly complicated, look simple. Name the cut?...how about 'Bridle Lap'?
It was a superhard cut
I commented on that. I was seriously impressed with that
Handsaw is a basic carpentry tool, it should be the first thing for one to learn how to use it. In my case y was kind of confused why she didn't do the whole joint with the handsaw and chissels. Anyway, excelent job.
PS: look up for videos of japanese carpenters, that a whole other level of handwork.
For a table with 4: "half-lap bridle joints", it helps to remember that this joint has a 'right' and 'left'-hand version, and adjacent joints will have to be opposites, and diagonal corners will be identical. When I mentioned this "half-lap bridle joints" name to my buddy who had never heard of it before, it took him a minute to figure out what it meant, and he described it to me & made it perfectly, except for the dummy center filler, for which he suggested a round-over to a dimple to eliminate the 3 sharp corners (which actually looks quite nice, almost pillow-like). He also realized that all 3 pieces can be cut identically & together at once, so "2 cuts" is effectively 2 cuts TOTAL for each joint, making 8 cuts for the whole table, (not to mention all the trimming & planing & his unique 45deg dough-nut router work instead of the 45deg chamfer).
👍👍👍
Hello Tamar, this joint is called a Nodus-Knot. It took part in the german woodworking magazine and was shortly discribed in czcams.com/video/3RWeO65-xG4/video.html from 1:30 to 2:55 (german language, sorry). They show some projects with the knot in the video czcams.com/video/_-UXLe7CSHE/video.html from 3:58 to 5:10.
Greetings from Europe, Tom
everyone is always so serious. Great look at just 'figuring stuff out' just for the sake of figuring it out. Hats off. Kept up the great work.
Driftless Joinery thanks so much!
One of few tubers actively pushing skill level in approachable way. I've said it before you'll soon be at the top of the leader board.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thanks!
couldn't have said it better myself!
tlfort personal growth is always a competition.
wortheffort I would never have considered your remark about her being at the top as making it about competition. I just saw it as your assessment given you’ve obviously been following her for a while and seen how she is always upping her game. It could also be because I’m not competitive!
@@wortheffort I love your channel. Been a subscriber for a long time. This is the first video I've seen of hers. I'm now subscribed to you both. I like seeing creators supporting one another. I am in the process of starting my own woodworking business. I've learned a lot from you and now I've learned an amazing joinery technique from this talented lady.
Thank you for making what looks impossible possible. I appreciate how you teach in a calm, competent, humane and positive manner. Thank you
Just watched this again and love your clear, concise presentation. This is a timeless presentation of something that some people would make complicated process. You made it simple enough that even I could reproduce it. Thank you!!
So glad you liked it! Thanks!
I don’t know which is more impressive, the joint or the fact you figured it out! Awesome skills thanks for sharing.
Ha! Thanks so much! It was really fun to figure out
This video is proof, that you can NEVER have enough clamps.
And if you are going to use this joint in a structure like a table, they'd probably need to be pretty long clamps
I use string
@@ared18t I prefer monokini
@@TrevorDennis100 you can clamp to a clamp
Clamp down people. It's just a clamp.
You are amazing. I have loved the moment so much that you can even be heard laughing when you are assembling the glued pieces. A big hug and greetings from a small corner of Spain, Barcelona.
Your channel is becoming my favorite woodworking educational source. Thanks and please keep them coming! 👍👍👍👍
Got me with the thumbnail picture, stayed for about 20 more of your videos! Thanks Tamar!
Well that’s awesome to hear! Thanks!

To sit down and look at this joint online and copy it means your very smart.
I might make comments once and a wile or even a lot but I enjoy watching you and learning new things, dont stop.
Everyone has something to offer.
A cross between bridal and half-lap joints should be called "the Bridal Lap Dance".

That is cool.
Trilateral Joint. Since it joins three laterals.
My vote as well.
Trilateral Through Tenon Joint?
Hey Tamar - so happy of how successful and all the cool things are happening for you - the move, the new shop, the jog selling out like crazy and so many mentions of other youtubers. You deserve all of it, and so much more, you're so talented!!! This is a super cool joint and I'll definitely incorporate into my next project!
Also, it's called an "interlocking tenon joint" It is Japanese in origin and does not require glue or fasteners. very strong
Thank you for the most intelligent response
Of course its Japanese because awesome!
Yes there are many joints the Japanese have developed so are really amazing !
I am making Japanese influenced 3d modern wood art, have plans with measurements, but have no direction but checking out etsy wood makers to cut it. You seem very bright, have any advice of where I could get this done please? Anything helps.
I'm just a nerd and I can't see how the last cube could be fixed without glue or fasteners. Maybe the Japanese version is built with using a slightly different technique.
This is quickly becoming maybe my favorite woodworking channel on youtube
Maybe? Ha! Thanks! I really appreciate that!
This is called a Marasco joint. My high school wood shop teacher already had it made in 1992. He said guaranteed “indestructible”. 😜
Very cool
Think thats just what your high school teacher called it. When you google that this video is the only thing that cones up
Ronjoe not all of human knowledge is on the internet.
It is definitely a Japanese joint, the tried everything 2 millennium ago
@@muskokagrind7396 Not 2 millennium ago, do you mean centuries?
@@officialteaincorporated243 No, he means 2 thousand years ago, asia is a very ancient part of the world. The oldest still standing wood temple in japan was completed in the year 607
Awesome video, I love how you're working at such a high level but also are really relatable and inspiring.
Glad you like it!
Love all your CZcams videos no loud music playing in the background and you clearly explained 👌
The "triple handshake" is what I'm calling it.
Threeshim
I think that would be a great joint for a coffee table, especially in a house with little kids running around
My grandfather used this joint on table legs but didn't fill that gap with a cube, he used it as a mortise for a tenon from the table top. He also had a way of filling that same gap by cutting one of the pieces with that cube still on - I think it's the piece with its side uppermost that the other two push into.
It seems wrong to hide such cool joinery under a table top.
I am absolutely going to use this! Thanks for breaking it down in such a simple way.
Awesome
I think that would be a great joint for a coffee table, especially in a house with little kids running around
That was my thought too.
You imagine doing this on all four corners?
As a drunk adult I find your safety concerns exclusionary and discriminatory :-p
Exactly what I was thinking of!
My thought as well.
Perfect joint for couchtables, where small kids are safe from the sharp edges
Totally agree!
just what i thought /thumb up
For child safety & beauty, instead of hacking it off for the pleasant flat geometry, I'd router it into a 3/3, 2/3, 1/2, or 1/3 radius hemisphere instead, with NO edges, even on the outer edge of the 3 approaching beams.
Yes. With 4 small kids this was my first thought.
Stay alert, stay alive. I tell my kids survival of the fittest, gonna be dumb, gotta be tough.
Okay maybe that was uncalled for. I have truly learned so much from watching you. You are brilliant and your detailed explanations on why what you are doing works and your reasons for doing it have taught me more than anyone. I can't thank you enough. It also helps that you are far more beautiful than any of your workpieces.
Really impressive that you worked this out from a picture and a bit of SketchUp - nice work ! In Europe (UK at least) we call this a "Pergola" joint and it's usually fixed with force fit dowels. Somewhere in the back of my head I seem to remember this is actually a very old Japanese joinery technique - might be wrong...
Definitely something used in Japanese joinery, each guild had their own secret joint and they were way more complicated that this one.
It’s the triforce joint.
Or, Pythagoras’ hemorrhoid.
or the heroes joint
Triforce joint FTW
Pythagoras’ hemorrhoid 🤣 🤣🤣
I’ve just spat coffee over my keyboard. You owe me a new one!

Looks like a "shin-saver joint" to me! By which, I mean use this joint on a coffee table and save your shins from getting busted on sharp corners! Great work figuring it out. Thanks for sharing!
Totally! Or to keep babies safe too!
And hips on a taller counter

Tamar 1st love your videos and detailed explanations. The successes and failures alike, So relatable!
So my son needed is going to Rose Hulman Institute for Technology as an Engineering student. During covid he was tasked to make a project. Starting with a Cad drawing and ending with a final product. We had to document each step. We used this joint (found on your video) to make an end table at each corner of the legs to the top, with a center live edge river pour. - I will send you a picture - This is 1st piece of furniture that i have made in over 20 years (since the kids came into the pic). It was a killer experience working with my son, making memories working on something together. Love that we will have this piece of furniture to help us remember the time. It also rekindled my love for wood working. Thank you for inspiring both.
Since then I am have begun to build a wood shop in my office garage. I see myself watching all of your tool and jig videos again and again. Truly thx!
The “Wait, how does this fit together?” Joint
Ha
I love it. Everything's great until you apply glue and then you mess it all up! Been there, done that...will visit it again in my next ww'ing project! LOL Nice job on the joint...pretty cool!
Absolute respect for this carpenter.
That joint is gorgeous! I need to make a table now!

Re: " After analyzing it a bit...".
"A bit"? Are you kidding? I would have spent a week wondering how that thing was made, and then given up.
Congratulations!

That was satisfying to watch. This joint is very appealing.
Glad you liked it!
Very cool. Artistic, strong, and not a rounded-over-around corner. Good job on figuring out how to make it.

Simplest is best sometimes!
I don't have a table saw ... maybe a Japanese saw and a chisel can be a solution
@@naskirnawas2037 worked for the Japanese for centuries.
I don't know what it's called, but I think I would've tried to use that sliding jig that slides through one of the slots next to the blade in a 45⁰ angle and with the saw blade in a 45⁰ angle as well
That compound angle hand saw cut needed serious skill to keep it correct.
I would call it the Jenga Joint.
The workmanship is apparently beautiful. Thank you for sharing
I am delighted to have stumbled upon this video, I inherited from my parents a Chapo elm table with six chairs and I had always wondered how the assembly worked! The only difference with the model presented here is that the "gaps" are not filled by small cubes but simply left empty, the edges being simply softened.
The set still has a great effect on the visitors despite its 45 years old, considering the prices I would be unable to afford it today.... Pierre Chapo is a French designer who made this furniture in the beginning of the seventies.. ( I' m french myself)

They’re trying to get you to diversify, if you ever fall out of love with gaming you might stop using their platform and they don’t want that, but if you like this other channel and you fall out of love with gaming it’s less likely to impact your usage of CZcams and just change the content you watch, this is of no consequence to CZcams.
@@samuelpyke5933 Triforce-joint. That's what I thought of as well...
I watch meme and gaming :/
You did it! What a fun video - Thank you!
I loved watching this joint come together. 😍
The fun part of this work is having the triangle at the end as a goal. I would call it the TRIANGOAL.
When you make the final corner cut, you get three off-cuts that are tetrahedral pieces - aka triangular hole fillers, for free. No need to glue in an extra cube, as long as your kerf is on the deep side of the triangular edge (which leaves the off-cuts large enough to fill flush).
Stop mansplaining....Yesss! I always wanted to use that word. (I've been watching too many feminist cringe vids)
To be fair, if you look at the picture she got inspired by, it seemed the tetrahedral filler was a darker wood than the planks, and he used a medium stain on the end cuts. (or it just absorbed better/deeper)

Been wanting to build a table and thinking about how I’d do the joints for a solid and sturdy design. I’ve seen a few but this is unnecessarily the best, most unique and beautiful concept I’ve come across.
Gonna try it out.
Awesome! good luck with it!
Great job! A beautiful property of this joint is that all three pieces are identical. You can also apply this joint to square pieces (by adding a third cut). Doing that makes it fully symmetric.
I'd like to see the square version too. Got a link?
Thanks for breakdown, great joint

@@ssgtdolan Beat me to it.
And I am watching this with only a handsaw, a hammer, some nails, and a broken chisel. Anytime I watch woodworking from the US there's always a new tool that these guys use
There are some good videos on how to take a broken chisel and bring it back to perfection! :D See also "Grandpa Amu" (If I spelled it right...)
@@GaryBickford I bet they use more tools to do that ;)
There's no reason you can't do this joint with nothing more than a ryoba (a Japanese-style saw with both crosscut and rip sides) and a chisel narrower then the slot, along with marking and measuring tools. It won't go quite as quickly, but with patience and care you can get it as clean and as tight as anything you can do with a large, expensive suite of power tools. If you need to dimension your stock, a plane might be useful - but you don't need a Lie-Nielsen jointer plane or anything, a yard-sale/boot-sale Stanley #9½ or similar with a bit of a tuneup (OMG, more work - how will anyone survive it?) will more than do to clean up the sawn surfaces. All it takes is effort and the will to do it - people were doing all of this and more long before power tools were a thing.
BRILLIANT! Still thinking of applications for this! 🤔
Why am I sooo fascinated with this joint?!? I just keep watching it.
Haha glad you like it

doh. just made a comment to the same effect! :P
That's exactly what I was about to say! Need points!! 😁
Really enjoyed your video, and what a lovely finished job it is too! No question about the strength of this joint either as the stresses are shared equally in each of the directions without compromise to the other pieces. Any stress is counteracted by twice as much resistance. I'm gonna make one of these as a test piece.
Awesome. So glad you liked it! Have fun experimenting!
Wow, so cool, so simple and well explained. Thank you. keep teaching us.
Awesome! It looks like you might be able to avoid gluing in the last piece by doing the half-lap operation last and doing more of a rabbet on the one piece and then hand-sawing off the remaining half-half-lap bit. Although just gluing the piece in is probably simpler in the end and it looks great. In any case, I was impressed by the accuracy of your hand-sawing operation at the end and the attention to detail in establishing the cut plane with a chisel first. The whole video sequence where you performed the hand-sawing was very dramatic--flipping the piece to finish at another angle, pulling the cutoff away to reveal a "ridge" of sawdust, and then blowing on it to reveal the perfect plane beneath!
Haha! So glad you liked it! That part was particularly fun for me to.
My first time on this channel, and subscribed partially due to the hand sawing accuracy! After seeing everything else go so well, the moment I thought there was a ridge, I was like "one of us!!!!".... Then when it turned out to just be saw dust on a perfect and complex cut...well done!
