In this video, Master Carpenter Take-chan (56 years of experience) demonstrates a brilliant traditional Japanese joinery technique used when adding a new beam at a right angle to an existing post, such as during house extensions or renovations—without using a single nail, piece of hardware, or drop of glue.
To help you focus purely on the movement, sound, and technique of hand tools, we’ve intentionally kept this video commentary-free. Watch it again and again to absorb the master's subtle hand movements!
