You have a refreshing attitude about you. Thank you for posting.

Ooh that looks good

A friend from Japan makes some of the world’s finest acoustic guitars with pawlonia. His name is Tony Yamamoto. Which makes it a hard wood. So your second choice is probably correct.

I dig the Natas; this coming from a axe junkie. When I was initially transfered out here to Tokyo I envisioned myself hitting up all the trade shows and kanemono. Put it on the back burner, until I had a castle gifted to me from a colleague, that received it an inheritance. I already own a place in Shibuya and Komazawa, but I really wanted something outside of the city, and against my better judgment accepted it. My wife would rather die than live in the country with the peasants, so I figured wth I'm a Western male, I enjoy cutting stuff, I'll go out on weekends and do yard work. I pick up some tools from the ; I can't figure out the word for "hardware store" but I think it could be kenchikuzai. Head out to the place, pick up the Nata, and really had no desire to use anything else. I am absolutely not a fan of hatchets, and I'll never really use anything smaller than a boys axe, but the Nata was perfect for it's intended purpose. Idk if its due to my hatred for finger loppers, but I'd take a Nata over a hatchet literally any day.

Looks fantastic.

Yes would love a video on setting up the plane. This video had a bunch of details, I think those same details on setting up a new Kanna would be great from your perspective.

Just a tip anytime you have to glue rosewood or any simalar wood , use epoxy only because of the rosewood is an oily wood even that old , an old feller told me that an i ckd and he is right

Thank you Sir.🎉

This is a great video. Using nails instead of dovetails. My only question is what type and brand of nails were used.

Hello,did you end up buying a new Generator?

You have some very helpful information in your video and your calm voice is awesome. But I have to admit, Nights when can't sleep, I go to my workshop in the basement und I'm polishing my Japanese chisels and plane blades up to 16,000 ;-) They are really shiny, but as you said, this does not have a big influence on their performance. At least not for me.

Bruce!!❤ lmao!!🤣 😂😂😂😂

Thank you Sir.🎉

Subbed as soon as i saw the manual hand drill.

"Not really going for traditional here".. Great video editing, tags and everything else to get these views. Crazy numbers on this box

What do dull spots on the bevel edge look like? Is that the darkened area?

Id love to see a video on a set up of a Japanese plane.

great content man!!

Great video. I was wondering how to go about doing something like that.

I like that you are clearly pushing against your boundaries. Talking of which. If you had cut the dovetails before gluing the two main boards together you could have made them stopped dovetails. That would give a cleaner look and also make it less likely that you'll blow out the end like that. Nice Post. Thanks for showing it to us.

@Lemongrasspicker ... What you said about the plane makes sense to me. What price range do you have in mind when you say that? I'm planning to make a purchase and I'm just beginning to learn about them.

Could you do a more in depth thing about sighting the blade? I couldn't really figure out what you were talking about when you explaining it.

Hello, which one is suitable for this type of gasoline stove No. 92 or 95?

Of course you drive the most logical vehicle ever made! Fit content flawlessly dovetails with everything Japanese and handy! Best UA-cam channel ever! 🚙🪚🌊

It. 's cool and I was excited when I found the video still but at the end. It just sounds like a base. I was hoping you would use shamisen strings At the end of the video, you call it a success and I think it's a success if you're trying to make a too string bass guitar that has a body that looks like a shamison, but you forgot that Thomas didn't have those really big cool pegs,

You forgot the most important step, you didn't chamfer the inside of the katsura on the handle side. Idiot.

Been missing your amazing content! ❤ Edit: get a microfiber cloth for cleaning the stones, easy to find in the house cleaning supplies aisle at your favorite grocery store

I like your style, i have access to a small hand tool workshop i built at the back of my house, but i find i prefer working inside my house (ask me what my wife prefers...) so I have bought inside a small collection of multi use hand tools and a big saw horse i can sit on like a small roman work bench, these videos make me wonder if i should try your beam and two small japanese saw horse approach.... i just needed an excuse to build something new, so thanks.

NIce one, i did something similar a couple of years ago when i needed an awl, i had some 3" hardened masonary nails, so i cut the head off one with a dremel, I then sharpened the tip into a 4 sided point on on my coarse diamond stone, epoxied it into a small wooden file handle. Job done, i had a cool little awl that i still use now. I ended up keeping the protoype for myself (i used an offcut of broom handle instead of a file handle for the protoype) and i gave the nice file handle one to my dad as a little gift. Awls are really handy for..... making holes in stuff.

This video is a definite keeper….it opened my eyes to several things that, in hindsight, ring my “that makes perfect sense” meter. One example being “there’s not much to be gained by sharpening past 1000 grit”…..awhile ago another popular woodworking channel said this same thing, with the reason being that an extremely fine edge (above 1000) while being measurably “sharper”, is also more fragile and does not (or will barely) survive its first contact with a piece of hard wood. Please keep them coming. I’ve never heard the phrase “hammer out an edge”….I’d definitely find a video about that to be of interest.

Love your videos. Gonna buy some tools soon and get into Japanese joinery, cant wait!

I would love a video on setting up and sharpening Japanese planes

He hath risen.

Hi, I have sharpened my chisel but it’s keep getting chipped 😢.. have encountered the same problem? it’s about 35degrees bevel, should I increas ?

Yay a lemongrass video again!!! 🎉

I absolutely agree regarding high levels of finishing stones. If you're doing real work, you rarely have to time to bring it up to 10k. Personally I actually polish my tools depending on their quality. If I find that they are capable of keeping a wicked edge for a very long time, I'll polish them a bit more. I also polish based on role. For rough work like scrub planing and mortising, I generally polish to 1k. For my medium smoother and paring chisels I bring to 2k (though its more like 4-6k). For my very fine finisher I will sharpen on my fine natural stone , around 6-9k. If you have a high grit stone, you don't need to use it for every tool.

After I watched this, went out back and sharpened three Japanese style chisels and a kanna blade to try out your method. It works pretty good - and I agree 5000 grit sharpton stone is enough. I also used some sandpaper to flatten the stones as per LemonGrassPicker and that worked good too.

I was gonna leave a comment but i won't.

You've probably found this out in the time since this video, but in case you haven't: a lot of old tansu do use wooden nails. The ones I've seen are usually cedar, they're tapered, and they don't use glue. They do eventually come out, but they last long enough that 150 year old chests still have most of them more or less in place. (Someone more knowledgeable on traditional woodworking would probably know more, but this is just what I've seen from growing up in a Japanese antique shop).

I would have loved this as a kid. How did they go down?

I don’t know if you have discovered this yet but I see Japanese carpenters put a bevel on the sides of the kanna blade to stone the ‘train track” marks the blade can leave on the work. I’m not confident enough to do it yet. I noticed your blade didn’t have those bevels.

Jesus Christ the legend’s back babeyyyyy! 👏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
