Thread: Some Serious Joinery

I'd like to see those two lift the equivalent beam if it was a North Coast hardwood or one of the Ironbarks.

we should sticky this for questions about scarf joints

Wow that's pretty interesting and impressive

Your right about them trying to do it with our hardwoods
Did anyone look at the one with the beams jointed into the post, thats impressive too

Yeah, I saw that one as well.

some years ago there was speculation -- on here I think -- about how to make a 6 way joint

That vid would help explain how to make it.

WOW.....

As said above, some of the other links show some pretty impressive joints.

Very accurate cutting. Seems such a shame most of the joinery is hidden.

Steven.

Incredible, they've got a whole channel of the stuff

As an aside, I have found a pdf of a book on Japanese joinery (link here: https://fabiap.files.wordpress.com/2...chitecture.pdf ) which has full set-out plans for various joints including a 5-way joint (3 beams coming in to a single column at the same point) and a complete hip rafter joint. Degrees in maths and engineering may be necessary.
