    G'day Garakuta-san!

    Welcome to the forums. Your work is truly impressive. Thank you for sharing it with us. I look forward to seeing more in the future.

    (I really enjoyed your comment about smirking at your successful joinery. That made me smile!)

    Regards

    I'm glad to know , we , woodworkers, can share the same sense of 'smirking ' in different countries. (time zone is almost same, though ,,)

    BTW, the following joinery list is one of what we , present woodworkers inherited from old masters.

    Sorry about that, it was an impulse to reply in Japanese.

    As an Engrish teacher, you probably understand my-not so good-Japanese.

    Actually, I meant how you got the characters to work.

    Usually when I slip and type in stuff with it still switched to Japanese text set, it comes out as lotsa ????s...

    For example.

    I am Stu. Nice to meet you. 

    Now it works properly. I hate computers. :mad:

    Niki, your Japanese there was fine, better than mine would be if I bashed it in.

    However, I could read what Zenwood bashed in pretty well. I can read ok, but that's about it.

    Was that supposed to be in Japanese characters? If so, it came out in Roman characters for me. Perhaps it is a browser issue. I use Firefox, which seems to display Japanese text OK, though I wouldn't know how to read it, e.g. http://news.google.com/news?ned=jp or http://www.asahi.com/home.html

    For my post above, I just did a copy and paste from the language translator. Let's try it from Asahi:

    Hi Go

    Spent more time quietly looking at your shoe cabinet project.

    One point: I think your (forced) choice of horizontal-grain panels was the best as width of top panels might cause shrinkage/expansion problems (although I know you allow for this).

    Also: what finish did you apply to cabinet? Do you sand before finishing?

    Welcome to the forum Garakuta. I particularly liked the phrase "gift of the forest"!

    Whenever I can I watch the demonstrations at woodworking shows by a Japanese craftsman, it never fails to fascinate me.

    Wow! Fantastic! What a great experience! I found Japanese language class in foreign ww forum )!
    and thank you so many welcome and flatter greeting.

    niki-san , your Japanese is perfect! It's my first experience to read Japanese in foreign forum.;-)
    but sensei(teacher/master) is not proper for me. I'm a novice. BTW porando means Poland or porando is in Australia ?

    JB- Ah, That was your mail.) yes, shrinkage/expansion caused by humidity cycle is a problem, especially
    in Japan. In addition to it, I make my project from green log. So I keep lumbers indoor for months and use thick lumber as much as possible.
    I finished it with oil. (U.S FDA and Japanese food safe regulation passed). and I had used #600 sanding paper before I fished it.

    I visited Fukuoka in last Mov. I met ww friend of web for the first time. I talked much in his workshop and had great time with him.

    groggy-san
    Gift of the forest is my real feeling. as I get logs in forest nearby and make lumbers in sawmill.
