About this Workshop
Take the frustration out of preparing thin, precise strips for Kumiko! In this hands-on two-day workshop, students will build a vacuum box jig and learn how to use it to prepare the strips needed for Kumiko grids. Planing wood to a thickness of 1/16” or less can be challenging, but this clever jig makes the process faster, easier, and more reliable with most wood species.
