Thank you for your interest in the Jointmaker Pro.

When a tool like this comes along, often lots of others follow in short order. As limitations occur, methods to get around them tend to show up. This is an interesting time to do woodworking!

“I tend to examine finished articles, take photos and make sketches in order to copy stuff I like. I do have a range of Japanese Joinery books, but I really am not the one to give advice on this. Skip might have some good suggestions for you after he reads this.”

Wish I could help you guys, but my interest has always been larger stuff for outdoors, basically timber framing with class and elegance. A Japanese temple being a perfect example. I appreciate their furniture designs, but have no clue of the joinery. Sorry……

Bob, I am expecting great things to come from your JMP; maybe all your blade making is a clue?

And my own separate observation from the outside looking in is your interest in the precision and repeatability of cutting wood parts – particularly complex small parts like clock gears. My observation is that handtool guys’n gals can speed up their cutting operations and improve their quality without investing in and operating machinery to accurately mill wooden parts.

I do want to try my hand at a few Japanese Puzzles however!
