About

If you want to make Japanese joints, without spending money on expensive tools then read on...

Are you a weekend carpenter that wants to make traditional Japanese joints?

Do you want to apply Japanese ingenuity of design to everyday furniture and give them a special character?

For centuries before the invention of screws and fasteners, Japanese craftsmen used complex, interlocking joints to connect pieces of wood for structures and beams, helping to create a unique Japanese aesthetic that can still be seen in the works of modern masters like Shigeru Ban.

Up until recent times, however, these techniques were often the carefully guarded secrets of family carpentry guilds and unavailable for public knowledge.

Let this audiobook teach you the secrets from an era when craftsmanship mattered, prior to the industrial revolution and mass production of "things".

In this audiobook you'll discover:

How to make your own Japanese joints in 8 steps
The number 1 Japanese wood you should use to make joints
The top 5 tools you need to get started with most Japanese joints
The secret behind how Japanese joinery is used to construct buildings that have stood for hundreds of years
I'm just a woodworker with a wood shop in my garage, and I don't want to splurge on expensive tools just for making Japanese joints. Can I still make the joints given inside your book?
A: Absolutely, this audiobook is designed for the weekend woodworker and enthusiast!

While we still recommend a few tools that are cheap but absolutely key when making Japanese joints, we have omitted the joints that require any type of expensive tools from this guide.

Every day that you delay is another day you miss the opportunity to use this magnificent Japanese craft to make your woodworking projects a notch above everything else.
