@@thecatofnineswords it is helpful in a sense that the skew makes the blade angle approach the wood in a more gentle manner than direct 90 degrees. Result: less tear out, the blade stays sharp longer as well as less energy needs to be excerted to work (although this one might be less noticeable). For the very same reasons, we round the very end of the edge during sharpening.
I nearly fainted when you cut the Kanna into pieces! But its sacrafice was for a noble cause! Great build and very useful tool. Thanks for the link to the hardware, been looking for these for ages for other projects.
I was about to post some pics on the group then I saw your comment :) Thanks Tony! Yes, that bigger piece I will keep maybe for a future small kanna once I put my hands on a blade that size.
I've had one of these on my wishlist of tools, but I might now just go and chop my cheapo-£15-off-Amazon kanna up and make one myself. As always, such amazing work.
Thanks! That was the reason in making this plane, I plan to make some bigger shoji panels and I will need to chamfer longer pieces also intersecting each other, so the chamfer should be consistent all the way
@@AdrianPreda Definitely. How long did it take and how much was the iron for this project? Did a quick search for chamfer plans online and Japan Woodworker has them for $180! This project must be satisfying.
About 2-3h each day of the last 4-5 prior of publishing it took, I think. But with filming too. That block plane I payed about 25$, was the first jp one I got, just to play with it and learned how to tune it, then I got bigger ones. I saw a chamfer plane at fine tools germany and is 105€, so around 120$. I also saw somewhere else, Tsuneburo made ones at around 200.
If you do not have a spare plane blade you could do one with a chisel as well. A convect chisel will enable you to produce a round over. You and put it in in a unusual angles as well to create features.
Very very nice! I like how you shop is well thought out and methodically systematized. Beautiful work and it gives me inspiration to try woodworking as well. Bravo!
Thank you Glad to hear that! Yes, I'm slowly arranging the other walls too of the shop so I can shoot wider angles in the videos, maybe will make it more interesting.
Oh it is skewed on purpose! The whole time I was like, when he cut down that original plane those were not square scribes across the plane bed . . . how has he not noticed yet . . . Awesome project. Thanks for the inspiration and the content!
Great video, as always! If you don't mind sharing your source for the brass outer knobs and brass inner knurled wheels, I'm sure many of us who are going to try this project would appreciate it -- maybe an Amazon affiliate link so we can support your channel in the process. You could just add those links to the list of hardware used in the description -- thanks again
Hi, thank you! Mine were made by a friend here local on the lathe. I wanted to order them on amazon too but it would have taken too long, and the clip was to be delayed :). I have added some links in the description, but they are only M6 like I used. For imperial, if you're from US, I was unable to find any 1/4" flat knurled nut on amazon.
Thanks! A friend with a lathe made them. You can find on amazon too, look for knurled nut/screw. I believe I have a link in description too for similar ones
I admire your work and the details you have in each one. I want to ask you where do you suggest I buy the nuts and bronze washers to make the chamfer plane of your video?
