- In this short, I build a Japanese Saw Horse (Uma) using Japanese Cedar (Sugi). I love this Shockless Hammer I picked up on Amazon. It works really well.
I hope you enjoy this short video. Check out the links to the shockless hammer I am using in the comments.
I dont know why but working in these bigger sections of timber is really satisfying to me maybe I should have become a carpenter instead of a joiner and cabinet maker. Or is it just the bigger tools😅
That should be it!
Complimets 👍👍👍
Any chnce you cn fo a full video of making one of these please?

Hi, do you have a link to the hammer?
they are called dead-blow hammers, or mallets
Why are the pegs a different wood?
the holes that the pegs go through are slightly offset, meaning when the peg is driven through the piece it pulls both sections tight together. this action means the peg itself needs to be stronger to withstand the extra force it will experience in holding the piece together
How the hell do you make those rectangle wholes!?
There is a drill that can do it
There are mortising drills that are available. The ones in Japan are designed to be a mobile device, where as other places will have them fixed on a drill press type set up.
These mortising machines are called Kakunomi.
What height are they typically?
The heights vary depending on what you prefer. I have made a variety of horses in the past from very short (300mm tall) to very tall (900mm). It also depends on what work you are intending to do with them. I have horses that are roughly 600mm tall which is a good height for most work.
you dont mind if i copy ur saw horse :D
Please feel free. It is a common design.
I thought sawhorse was "kobikidai" haha. Have I been calling it the wrong thing my whole career??
You are not wrong. Uma means horse in Japanese.
