Ink Line (Sumitsubo) $26
For traditional layout work, nothing beats an ink line and bamboo pen (sumi-sahsi). I use both traditional wooden ones and modern plastic ones. They are both great. Don’t forget the ink.

Awesome guide, thanks for posting. I would love to get into joinery. Need to accrue a few things first…
I was fortunate to take a Basic Woodworking course with Toshio Odate in NYC at Pratt one year. He embodied the Japanese approach to craft and I have often thought of him when I create and build my works. I am glad to see your collection of books contains several of his works and they continue to be used by current craftsmen today.
