Making two Hexagonal Kumiko patterns, Asanoha and Rindo, only by hand tools.
(enable captions/subtitles for some explanations along the build)
I am working on some bigger kumiko hexagonal projects that are made mostly with a table saw jig, and decided to make this clip as well, doing them by hand tools, to go along with my old video of making square patterns by hand tools https://youtu.be/3kh_dF-Aa8A
The kumiko strips in this video are ready made bought ones from model making shops. They are 8x3mm, 1m long, made out of pine wood. If you like to make them yourself I have a video too showing how to https://youtu.be/SaN6gf0gl0A
