About this ebook

Joinery refers to both the wooden components of a building, and the techniques used for making those components. The craftsperson who does this is often considered a joiner, as he or she is one who joins pieces of wood together to construct something. Traditional Japanese joinery is made entirely without the use of metal fasteners or adhesives.

While building without the use of nails or other fasteners is not at all unique to Japan, the types of joints used, the durability of the structures created, and the complete absence of iron makes Japanese joinery stand out.

In this book “JAPANESE JOINERY GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS” I will be teaching you everything that you must know about this amazing wood working technique in order to be able to master this craft and improve on your woodworking skills.

In Japan however, complex methods of joinery are used not only for practical reasons, but also to highlight craftsmanship, and to enhance aesthetic quality. These decorative joints have often been used in temples, shrines, and castles, but are particularly common in furniture making.

  • Introduction to japanese joinery

Nine pages. It names the tools and explains a few wood joints and mentions lacquering. The Author's bio is longer than the information on lacquer. It's worth the price if it's $2, but the information could just as well be found by doing a browser search.
