Kumiko Jigs
Wondering if anyone has any Kumiko Jigs available they would like to move to a new home.
Interested in:

- 30/60 jig
- planing jig to make the strips
Thanks,
Derek.

Desmond King has written four books on Kumiko and Shoji; all books contains plans for the jigs you need for each level of complexity but book 1 is all you need to get started.
As for making the strips, I use a Bridge City HP8 block plane to thickness them. For making the frames and half lap joint etc I cheat a little bit and use a cross-cut sled on an old cheap contractors saw fitted with 4mm flat topped blade from Timbecon.
Here is an Asa-No-Ha trivet I made from Ceylon ebony, the pieces are 4mm thick and 14mm wide.

Hi Derek,
For the planing jig start at the 2 minute mark in this video, simple to make and very effective.
Cutting Kumiko Strips by Handtools // Kumiko Making Part 1 - YouTube
When making mine I chose one of my lesser utilised planes (a Stanley 6) and sized the jig to suit that.
Hope this helps, Jeff
