#DublinNH - Introduction to #JapaneseJoinery 1 and 2

#MAXTMakerspace

Sunday 12 Apr 2026 and Sunday 19 Apr 2026

9:00 AM | 09:00 AM - 03:00 PM

"Event Description

Paul Tuller has been using Japanese hand tools for 45 years. This class will be an introduction to Japanese Joinery.

The first session will cover basic tool usage and layout for joinery. The second session will carry on with more complicated joinery, but each session can stand alone. You may enroll in either session or both.

Students will work on test joints to create their own sample collection of techniques alongside becoming familiar with the methods and principals involved.

Tools will be provided, but if students have their own Japanese tools, they are welcome to bring them and Paul can provide tips on sharpening and adjustment.

There will be a lunch break about noon. Students can bring a bag lunch or go out to nearby restaurants if they wish.

Please contact Paul if you have any questions at: [email protected]

Hand tools vent. Maybe this will save someone some grief and #expense if they find it with a search.

Wiha - great drivers & bits. Love 'em. Well-machined, good tough tool #steel.

But their needlenose pliers? Rubbish. I have a set of full-sized needlenose, plus their "micro" set. With both of them there's too much slop in the joint, so the jaws are never quite aligned. I don't recall if they were bad right out of the packaging, but I certainly noticed it within the first handful of usages. I have the full sized "standard" / linesman-type pliers as well, but you don't tend to notice slop because of the much shorter jaws.

Wiha's micro-needlenose pliers are no better than - or even noticeably worse than - #cheap #Chinesium ones I have.

Save your money.

I confess, I've never been able to bring myself to carry a multitool. For decades, I've owned a reasonable quality Leatherman knock-off, but I never carry it, and rarely use it. When I do, I just wish I'd picked up the right tool. I think it's in my car "emergency" tool kit now. Haven't used it there either.

The haft is done! Still need to dot the eye and sharpen things up,

Why use machines when you can do it by hand?
Gardener’s h…j.. (sorry)
I do like my #Japanese #gardening tools. These #Okatsune #shears are razor sharp. Such a joy to use.
