Nice work my guy. Definitely give that plane a sharpen and fiddle with the chip breaker some more. It will treat you even better.

I will for sure! There's definitely much more work that it needs but at least it's operational now

I can't express just how much I appreciate seeing a change at the end, because you know you'll love it more than wondering "what if?"

It's always worth putting in the extra effort

Although I'd seen the wood burning technique before, and was impressed by the idea of it, this particular use is a touch of creative genius. The use of it here lends the lantern a sense of timelessness, because it evokes a strong sense of age while the design and craftsmanship screams modernity. This is how putting a few sticks of wood together becomes high art. Bravo, Maestro!

Love this, Johnny. Beautiful piece. Burning the legs was a great choice. Thanks

Excellent! Sometimes one doesn't even need infill pieces, the kumiko grid is nice on its own.

Thank you! I debated if I should do an infill pattern but I thought it would've been too busy

That is an amazing design. Love how simple it looks. Maybe try using a wooden toothpick instead of nails to secure the frame corners. Glad im subbed to your channel.

A CNC is your friend. Easy Peasy to do a 1/8" mortise.

Bamboo skewers work well for small dowels

That's what I used to attach the handle but they were a little too big for the small frames

Hello, next time you could consider use for the wooddowels toothpicks or bigger schaschlick-sticks - always good to have them in the store as really mini dowels... ...AND yes, the planer is a wonderful tool :)

Hi Johnny, very Nice Lantern. Only baterry pack on bottom should by covered🙈 I subscribe 👍

Thank you. I thought about covering it but I didn't want a bulky box under the lantern. It can always be moved back under the top piece

Very nice project and tons of intricate details that most would be oblivious to when looking at it... instead of burning the wood try ebonizing it (just a thought not a critical thought just a thought). AND how have I not run across your channel before?! new subcriber

@JTWoodworks

Ай бұрын

Thanks for the sub!! Ebonizing is a nice look but I think it would've been too dark for this project. I like how the burning is more brown and a bit inconsistent. Something I'll need to try on another project though

Very nice project. I may have to try that burning technique in one of my projects. Do you have a link to the fairy lights you used?

The grid is made up of equilateral triangles. They are 60°. I have some other videos that show how to make the grids

So much work with the kumiko and than you use double sided tape for the paper? Really?

@JTWoodworks

Ай бұрын

It's a special double sided tape that's designed to be used with shoji paper. It's pretty commonly used by modern shoji craftsmen in Japan

@atariks1475

Ай бұрын

@@JTWoodworks Ahh okay. Sorry, that was rude. Can you still tention the paper when you use this tape? My shojibook suggest that you mist the paper after glueing with water and when this dries the paper will tention and sound like a drum afterwards. Delicate projects tend to become crooked by that but for doors or bissger frames it should be possible.

@JTWoodworks

Ай бұрын

Yes I spray the paper in the video. I haven't noticed a difference in paper tightness between the tape and glue. I do use glue sometimes but I find the tape is much easier and there isn't any dry time

@@JTWoodworks ahh, didn't noticed that. You are first one I see doing that. In all the other videos of creators its just glued to the wood. Do you have any experience in case of a complete shoji paper swap? The starch glue can just be watered and it gets loose. How does the tape perform with that?

@JTWoodworks

I've never had to change out the paper but I can't imagine it'll be very difficult. The tape can be peeled off and you can add new tape
