Stunning job. Very elegant mix between old and new post. I do like those stump branches protruding from the new post. You're an amazing craftsman.

Excellent work and a joy to watch the process and the finished post.

Very nice touch using a round tree trunk for the adjoining/supporting post. Beautiful work, beautiful materials. Thank you for this video.

The biggest version of it i have ever seen can be visited in low tide at the Itsukushima shrine tori. I was blown away when i recognized that this must have been a repair job for the tori standing in the sea water. 😊

I was a carpenter for many years. Ok at my job, never a master.
Japanese master craftsmen are always amazing to me. The patience and skill is incredible

Stunning work. I can cut a similar scarf joint, but to do it with such accuracy in mid air is amazing! How do you insert it into position without there being a gap at the foot of the new post (between the post and the stone) when you hammer in the wedges?

The finest joinery skills, I'm totally astonished and delighted

That juxtaposition is beautiful. Well done.

Nice work! High end line drawing techniques.

I am always amazed at this skill you have. The minds that first implemented this method are of genius, no other way to describe it. Thank you for this video 🙂

Awesome job a joy to watch the focus and commitment ⛩️🎏🙏🏽

That is a beautiful strong joint. A pleasure to watch.

WoW!!! Usted es una persona increíble, gracias por pasar el aprendizaje. Tiene toda mi admiración.

[rolandgdean]

I know that this joint doesn't NEED glue BUT, might it be at least a little stronger with some Titebond 3 in there for good measure? Just curious. LOVE you work by the way. MUCH RESPECT! /deep bow

Hmmm... what we are looking at above the joint (like at 9:04) seems to be more or less in the same sort of condition as the piece you are replacing, or is that not really the case? I'm just wondering how you make the decision when to leave certain parts as they are while replacing other parts?

Cutting one half on the bench is a challenge, cutting the other half in mid-air is insane…….!

[oliviermalige]

Hi, nice and clean work on this joint !! The resulting repair looks beautyful, like a tree growed in the room 😀
May I ask the purpose of lightly watering the wood as you did at some point?

[adammacer]

Amazeballs - thanks for expanding on your recent 'Short' as promised. So no jig but string lines to 'project' a line onto the timber.. That was easy for the new piece - sticks fixed to eaither end - but wondering how you set up the other end of the strings on the cut post.

[tolbaszy]

The mid air magic is wonderful! What did you spray on the end grain? Thanks for sharing!

I want a very complex glueless wooden joint with three arms at the ends of which each arm is by chance a different complex uncompleted joint end yet different from any in any arm's joint end including that complex being different from the joined originally completed one.

Do all joints require comparable fittings? This problem may not be physical.

If it is, would you be able to physically make it? For how many American dollars?
