Im pretty sure he spent way more time on the joint to get the fit just right.
And he chamfered the edges of the joint, but i figured it out

did i tell you i need a new camera?

Weird Woody · 03-12-2008, 03:24 PM

it actually went together pretty easy too

Weird Woody · 03-12-2008, 03:50 PM

Now to figure this one out

I don't know about that. I think he's aptly named the 'transcendence technique', though. First he had to transcend the state of mind that says it's impossible, then he had to ....I don't know what?!!!

It just goes to show you how reluctant we are to learn from others. Here we are, essentially hobbiests recognizing the imagination and skill of someone's work. It's too bad we couldn't adapt the education that Mr. Kintaro YAZAWA ( I don't know which is his family name) has received in his lifetime. We are so ingrained with the philosophy of mass production that we have lost the capacity to use our imagination and the skills to turn that imagination into real products.

BTW, those paper thin joints are made with a Dozuki saw and probably some jigs to ensure squareness. The real trick is selecting the wood that will be strong enough to support the cuts. Some of the joints are done diagonally rather than on the square. There was a dovetail puzzle that went around for years that had dovetails on all four faces. The secret was to cut the dovetails on the diagonal. I wonder if that's how he's done some of those "impossible" joints?

Diagonaly not on the square,that seems to be the trick...a trick.The paper joints don't seem that difficult,in theory.Like making box joints but with a Dosuki.Put in a spacer to keep the fingers from snapping off.Fitting the joints together seems a little tricky.Hopefully the glue would act like a lubricant to help them slide together.
This is the DT puzzle.
