Build Your Own Taka Dai

Order a set of measured drawings to build your own taka dai. This design was created with the modern braider in mind:

  • Sits on the floor to be used while sitting in a standard chair instead of kneeling
  • Greater width between the lower rails reduces fatigue and back strain during long braiding sessions - no more leaning forward or pulling in the elbows
  • Held together with mortise and tenon joints - no screws to strip after repeated assembly & disassembly
  • Easily taken apart for travel to classes and workshops - all pieces fit into the Pelican 1750® rolling travel case (inside dimensions 50.62" x 13.50" x 5")
  • Accommodates up to 22 koma to allow greater flexibility with double-layered braids

Seven 11x17" color pages of measured drawings and diagrams. $20 US includes postage and handling. Check or money order only. Email me for mailing address.




All packed up and ready for travel to the next class!
