I'm not 100% committed to the mitre theory, but I still think it's worth pondering. Peter seems to have a rotating "hinged" type process in mind: I didn't. Just a linear motion at 45 degrees to both faces, rather than parallel to both faces. Assuming that works, a four sided box could be assembled from two sub-assemblies of two-sides each.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

I would draw it for you and show you, but my scanner does not instal properly in Windows XP and I don't have the time to draw it in software.Kind Regards

Still not sure if this is a method for Mr. Yazawa's box, I need to think about it some more...Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Zenwood, this design works only for mitres. If you cut the mitres back (as in Mr Yazawa's box) you expose the base of the dowel. As the base of the dowel is not visible on the box, I believe that the design is more complex.

this is incredible jointery, ive been trying to figure out how that one was made for about an hour. there are more complex joints in his work but interestingly wea are all trying to figure out this one. probably becazuse it looks like we should be able to achieve it :confused: :confused:

New images
I've just found Kintaro Yazawa's site now has three new images of this box entitled "Trick Joint Box Japanese Zelkova"

I've stared at the box for five more minutes, and I think my proposal works. I'll have to try drawing it. Then I'll try making it, but goodness knows how to go about cutting shelved dowels...Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

A picture is worth a thousand words
Look at the updated picture of Yazawa's Trick Joint box. The extreme close-up and open box view show convincingly that there is no Veneer work.
Also, look at his trick joint page at the new work middle-row far-right.

It to seems to be an impossible joint since it it is locked in both directions. But it is doable. Here is my attempt from this afternoon to reproduce it.
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/laboll...cd.jpg&.src=ph There are no camera tricks or voids. It slides in at an angle, provided it is cut accurately. My version was put together with no glue or adhesives at all and is rock solid based on the lock the joint provides.
Here is the same joint prior to sanding and rounding the edge of the joint.

I believe zenwood is on to the answer. Looking at the diagram, as long as the round part of the key-hole is bored at 45deg, then the joint should slip together linearly. Putting the fourth side on my be a bit tricky but i do think it is able to be done.

I think I'm on the right track, but going in the wrong direction...

Obviously, you are not new to woodworking, so we look forward to some great contributions from you. Show us some more of your work.

Thank you for the welcome.
Actually, I am pretty new to wood working. I got my first dovetail saw last summer and have been working hard to learn to cut through dovetails with Frank Klause's methods. THen I came onto the a page describing Double Twisted Dovetails about a month ago, and have been working hard on that one joint ever since. So far all I have made is lots of practice joints in scrap wood, like the one I showed, and a few simple boxes. My friend says when it comes to woodworking I am a one-trick-pony: dovetails. So far the internet has been a fantastic resource. I am waiting for some books on box making to come in the mail from Amazon now. THen I hope to learn how to add some trays, drawers, and internal divisions to make a proper jewelry box. Wish me luck.

labolle,
yeah that is how I was imagining it to be done.
