• A wide, very sharp chisel. I prefer a short chisel that is 1" to 1-1/2 " wide.
• A fine-tooth trim saw for cutting parts to length. A Japanese-style saw works very well for this. I've had good results with Suizan 6" and 8" dovetail saws.
• I make kumiko blanks from basswood and eastern white pine. Both woods are nice, the basswood stays lighter over time while the pine will acquire a golden patina with age. I typically mill blanks 1/4" or 1/2" wide by 24" long. The thickness of the blanks should match the kerf of your table saw blade*.
• For making a set of kumiko blocks you'll need a hardwood blank measuring 1-5/8" thick by 1-3/4" wide by 16" long. This will yield a pair of blocks. For the stop blocks, you need a hardwood strip 1/4" thick by 1/2" wide by 12 inches long. You will also need a pair of 1-1/4" long washer head wood screws (or round head screws and washers).
• Finally, you'll need yellow or white glue and a few toothpicks. A sheet of 150-grit sandpaper works well to flatten the panel once assembled.

*Note: For cutting notches by hand, you may wish to make a block for notching stock. Start with a blank the same dimensions as the blank for the kumiko block set. When using the block, size your stock to match the width of the notches that you cut in the block.
