Excellent book, informative concise. Beautiful pictures

This book unveils the beautiful, nail-free world of Japanese joinery – a truly artful craft. Beginners will find inspiration, but experienced woodworkers might crave more technical detail than artistic appreciation.

Good to use did a couple of joints from it makes it easier to understand thanks

It’s great for your woodwork library and to upskill your carpentry.

Disappointing with black and white pictures. Some line drawings difficult to understand. Book returned

Amazing book. Recommend to anyone interested in Japanese culture and their carpentry. Pure b/w photography, philosophy and use, but not that technical.

I do believe Japanese joinery to be an art form and this book is a handy intro to these several techniques used to 'hold' wood/timber together without nails. So begins my trial and error journey to wood working perfection! :)

ASSEMBLER deux « morceaux de bois » peut être simple mais cela devient plus complexe si des contraintes s’exercent de façon permanente ou aléatoire et complexes. Pratiquer des entailles fragilise mais souvent la colle annule les effets négatifs en utilisant l’adhésif adapté dans les conditions optimales (humidité, température et pression combinées). Pour construire les temples, les habitations avec les bois dont ils disposaient les JAPONAIS ont mis en œuvre l’art d’entailler les bois avec des outils tranchants pour assembler, jointer les bois bout à bout, avec des angles etc pour leurs constructions. Ces joints sont peu connus dans nos contrées…aussi ce fascicule nous fait découvrir quelques aspects de cet art exceptionnel. Indispensable pour tous ceux qui aiment le beau, le bois et les superbes photos.

Perfetto
