Can I still make the joints given inside your book? A: Absolutely, this book is designed for the weekend woodworker and enthusiast! While we still recommend a few tools that are cheap but absolutely key when making Japanese joints, we have omitted the joints that require expensive tools from this guide. There also certain joints that don't require any specialized tools. So, you don't need to spend extra if you don't really want to. Q: Can Japanese joints really improve regular objects (like chairs and other furniture) that I already know how to make? A: Yes. The special characteristics of Japanese joints are diverse. Their utility can be found in making flexible yet strong houses in earthquake-prone Japan. They are also useful in building recording-studios where sound-transmission must be minimized. The addition of Japanese joints in your own designs will incorporate one or more of these characteristics to your furniture. We also have short guide on adapting these joints into your own designs, so you never get lost trying to make sense of it all. Q: Are the pictures in your book color or b/w? A: The pictures inside this book are b/w and meant to show clearly the intricacies of the joints.
