Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

A wood working craft from Japan

The amazing things we can learn about through videos...

Today I share a YouTube of Tsugite, the Japanese method of joining with wood with no adhesives or screws. I wish it wasn't in a speeded up voice and motion, but one can pause to try to figure it out. There is now a program to teach one how to build these wonderful joints.

I admit to just having appreciation of this craft, and no urge to actually build with it.


Today's quote:

We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released.

  1. Hello,
    They look like puzzle pieces, interesting. I have seen some log cabins being built using huge logs that fit together perfectly. Take care, have a happy day!

  7. How interesting, Barbara! They remind me of 3 D puzzle pieces my children liked to figure out. I've always admire dovetail joints on furniture. I can see how these type of joints would be highly coveted in the world of finely crafted furniture.
