Key haunch pass through mortise and tenon

This is a very cool woodwork joint called a key haunch pass through mortise and tenon. Called a shachi tsugi in Japanese and used in joke construction where two horizontal beams join in a vertical column

Please do a shop tour, showing all the machines and tools.

In case anyone is wondering about the book:

The Complete Japanese Joinery by Hideo Sato (Author), Yasua Nakahara (Author), Koichi Paul Nii (Translator)

It is two different books, translated and expanded for western audiences and bound into one volume. The first book, Japanese Woodworking, is about the basics of Japanese woodworking and tools. The second, Japanese Joinery, is about building Japanese houses, emphasis more on timber framed construction but other elements are included as well.

It isn't a book for furniture makers, but you could definitely take some ideas from it and apply them to furniture making if you were so inclined.


Hope that's helpful.

I’m Japanese.
It’s nice working!
I am happy that foreigners are familiar with our traditional carpentry techniques.

I could literally watch your videos all day long. Joinery work second none. Thank you.

The fact that he doesn't talk makes his videos so universal so no matter what you speak, you can still understand that this craftsmanship is insane.

[johnwhite]

I can watch a craftsman do his work all day and I could just set and watch you all day and night. Sir you are an amazing craftsman. You honed your skills and I would be proud to own some of your works

Смотреть на вашу работу - одно удовольствие. Многое взял на заметку и отложил в свою копилку приёмов работы с деревом. Спасибо!

I love your mind, when it comes to wood it's like you think in 3d. I also agree with Bibin Sagaram about doing a shop tour, i would love to see all of your machines and tools.

Your talent with joinery never ceases to amaze me!!!

[talegunner]

I have watched so many of your short clips. You are among the best in your field. Keep it up

[Hi_im_adel_]

You have hands down the most well equipped shop here on YouTube I'm pretty sure, your videos are a pure joy to watch for us woodworkers and for others too most likely, keep them up man! 😁

[mikekorsak]

Really enjoy watching your videos about joints and what can be made by using different joints like applications of different knots.

[adamfrbs]

I spent stupid amounts of money on hobby wood and hand tools to learn all these joints in miniature. Great video!

Wow I just love the motorised chisels, they eat timber smoothly and are not to noisy!

[jameslewis]

You are one wild looking dude. Don't have a clue what you made or how I could use it. You really know how to hammer to make your wood fit in a tight slot. You are the man!

[mariocarreiro]

Dude you are amazing 👏 thanks for sharing your awesome craftsmanship.

[Jetranger]

First utterance- WOW... That's so amazing!
