The DIY Japanese Joinery Shop

We offer shipping via Fedex as our default shipping method, but we also provide the option of shipping via Japan Post EMS. Packages weighing up to a total of 6 kilograms, Japan Post EMS is often more cost-effective than Fedex. If you're interested in shipping via Japan Post EMS, please send an email to diyjjshop@diyjapanesejoinery.com with the item(s) you would like to purchase, your full name, shipping address, and phone number. We will get back to you with a quote. For the Beginners' Set, please note that Fedex may be the more cost-effective option.

The product's price does not cover indirect taxes, including VAT, GST, Sales Tax, and HST. Customs authorities in the import country may impose such indirect taxes. Customs duties and other taxes shall be borne by the recipient. When these charges occur, it is the buyer's duty to make the payment.

Yoita or Kanto style chisels may have a small gap between the neck and the ferrule. This does not affect the strength or usability in any way. The gap will be closed over time by tapping with a hammer. On the other hand, in Miki or Kansai style chisels, this gap is filled by welding and grinding.

Common sizes are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42mm. A typical set of 10 bench chisels is this combination. In addition to these, 1.5 and 45 mm are popular too.

The most popular species used for chisel handles are Japanese white oak and red oak. Other popular materials are ebony and oleaster.
