Q: I'm just a woodworker with a wood shop in my garage, and I don't want to splurge on expensive tools just for making Japanese joints. Can I still make the joints given inside your book?

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 are also certain joints that don't require any specialized tools.

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.
