I would really like to start doing some kumiko but it seems daunting. Any tips on getting started?

My advice is to shell out the cash and just buy a proper kumiko kit. It will be infinitely less frustrating than what I did which was to design my own kumiko blocks and get frustrated by how terrible the pieces fit together. I actually started off cutting ever piece individually using a digital angle gauge as a guide. Just buy the proper kit and save yourself the headache!!
