Choose the type of wood that is suitable for your project, and ensure that it is dry and free from knots.<br /><br />Prepare the wood: Cut the wood to the required length and width, and then use a planer to smooth it. Use a saw to cut the wood to the required angle for the corner joint.<br /><br />Mark the wood: Use a marking gauge or a square to mark the wood where you will cut the joint. Make sure the marks are accurate and precise.<br /><br />Cut the wood: Use a hand saw or a Japanese pull saw to make the cuts for the joint. Cut along the marked lines, making sure that the cuts are straight and perpendicular to the surface of the wood.<br /><br />Test the fit: Once the cuts are made, test the fit of the joint. Use a chisel to remove any excess wood, and make adjustments until the joint fits snugly.<br /><br />Glue the joint: Apply a thin layer of glue to the joint and fit the pieces together. Use clamps to hold the joint in place until the glue dries.<br /><br />Finish the joint: Once the glue is dry, use a hand plane to smooth the joint and make it flush with the surface of the wood.<br /><br />With practice, you can master the traditional Japanese woodworking technique of hand-cutting wood corner joints without screws. It requires patience and precision, but the results are amazing and long-lasting.
