And if we have a gun problem its not a gun problem its a mental health problem. If we have a mental health problem then its not my problem. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to buy another gun to protect myself. No, I don't have a mental health problem. Hoarding guns is the american way!

No, but without duplicates, OC must fill the void. This feature may not have that intended effect. Or it might. I dunno.

Just saying a lot of these sites are and have always been full of reposts.

By "these sites" I mean diggs, reddits, lemmys..

It's just really silly to think that a blocking feature would generate OC. It can't.

Nice, yes that was what I was looking for. Dowels do sound a lot easier to deal with than a custom joint, especially for a newbie to woodworking and joinery like myself. I sort of made a mortise and tenon joint with the vertical leg and one horizontal leg, and then cut half of the mortise (leaving just the upper half), and made another mortise and tenon joint for the other horizontal leg, cutting half of the mortiose (leaving just the bottom half), trying to get those to fit in nicely. I think it could work but one imperfection and I need to dimension more wood. I guess difficult things are difficult to do.

Dowels huh? Now you have me thinking. Again, great project, it looks really nice!

I’m sorry, I don’t know the name of what I’m asking for, but I do know it’s more of a shoji or traditional joinery question than it is a question of the kumiko itself. Your kumiko looks lovely by the way.

The kumiko itself I have jigs for and is the part of the process I’m most excited about getting to. However right now, I’m working on the outside frame of the lamp, what looks like might be the oak peices in your photo.

Specifically, the joint I’m looking for is the three way joint to join one long leg of the lamp to the bottom of the frame that houses your kumiko.

I think you’re refering to the mikomi and mitsuke. Looking at a book I have on the subject, I think I’m refering to joint to join the stile to the bottom rails and the top rails, treating the lamp as a shoji with 4 sides to it. Did you use a joint for this, or just wood glue (I see no nails).

Would you mind sharing the joint you used for this? I’ve gotten a few books on kumiko and wanted to make a lamp similar to yours. I’ve been trying to figure it out from a photograph and have most of the wood dimensioned already. Japanese joinery is pretty fascinating and complex, and I’ve been trying to find a good joint for these corners. I started making one that might work but I cut a bit too much off and I really don’t know what I’m doing here.

This reminds me of expertsexchange

But if it breaks can I send it into xyz computer repair? They only fix windows machines.

A hot air gun will fix that for you. Of course fixing it on the printer is better.
