And he is able to continue while patiently answering all the questions!

“My work is related to plumbing, I’m not a carpenter” ⛩️🎏🙏🏽

I love that he’s learned this deeply skilled craft/art form by studying planes. Trial and error, stolen lessons found in nuances in various plane bodies, learning from various marking layouts, particular chisels, maybe some archeology and self discovery. The tool teaches better than any video/book, at least in his case!

Can not believe what I just watched; a one hr Master Class of skill & craft. Just watch. A plumber he says ! And he throws in the Golden Ratio to boot ! And he has a real blackboard ! Order that block anvil from Sterrett ! A just started listening to a podcast of Dogen and saw your program announcement: Establishment of the will to the Supreme. Not a coincidence there. In the states plumbers, metal workers frequently said working with wood is so much easier, accuracy is not a problem ! Back to Dogen now ! Thanks for the interlude to all three of you, it’s been awhile from the last post. 此れは美しいです❤ どうもありがとうございました。

Excellent video showing wonderful skills. Thanks for making the video and for taking the time to upload.

Japanese tools are amazing.

This guy must be one hell'uv a plumber. Excellent video. Thanks indeed.

Sometimes a think I know about Japanese tools, and then I remember I bag I only know the basics compared to masters like these. Once I have ending Japanese tools I’ll make a box like that one at the end. Thank you for sharing, you videos are an incredible resource for people like me watching in the U.S

The blade flattening is a process you probably don't see often. All I have seen is back pressing to flatten it.

patience of this master is outstanding and accommodating all daunting questions...

She so agrees with with you.

I'm fully invested in european tooling and techniques, but this was wonderful, both the planemaker and the young lady. She must be a wood person, the questions were excellent. What a wonderful atmosphere in the room from their interaction. Thank you.

本職が水道屋だっていうのが驚き。

Fascinating, important you documented this!

Wow, thank you! The skills on display, the knowledge, the camera shots, and the questions asked were all outstanding!

So very nice! The craftsman and the video. I am 65 years old and all my life it has been the same. Most upper level craftsmen will explain their processes until they are blue in the face and are happy to do so. As I heard a foundry craftsman explain, "I will explain to my competitor how to make these parts with no problem. He still will not be able to make the part". It was not arrogance, just a fact. He was that good. 😂 Thank you for the "mini training course".

Japanese tool makers and carpenters shows a workmanship far out of this world, just amazing

Thanks for sharing the video.

Incredible craftsmanship.

I'm learning so much from your videos thanks for sharing these premier craftsman's expertise.

Hello, The Carpentry Life-San. It's been a long time. how are you doing? The content of this blog was very interesting. I don't think I've seen the Japanese way of thinking about cutlery in other countries. And I don't think you can shoot unless you really know the camera angle. Truly “The Carpentry Wife”. An hour passed in the blink of an eye. thank you very much.🪚

Great video love the tool set

Brilliant Video as always! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! I learned how to make a daî, but it was a year ago and now I need to make another one. So this is an invaluable document. Very interesting. Nice set up! Also 0.5mm is very tight!

Wow......this is one of my favorite videos. Just fantastic!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad that you are recording all these masters and sharing their knowledge because one day they will be gone. By the way, that toolbox is soooooo bad ass!

A true master.

I feel very privileged to have this knowledge I tip my hat to you all 💚🙏💯

Again, I can’t say enough about your content and how it inspires me because of your attention to the details of what so many others consider to be too deep within the realm of the mundane to bother talking about. He’s mentioned something at about 53:50 that I’ve always wondered about concerning these wooden planes and how movement is managed with Kanna of all sizes. I’ve also wondered that if, with modern PVA glues, making a Kanna from a laminated glue-up similar to a long-grain cutting board might be more stable. I understand this traditional way needs to be honored and preserved. However, I can see a lot of practical benefits in one made from multiple pieces of wood including in the manufacturing process. For instance, the sides that form the Kōana could be glued on AFTER the center portion is cut to the VERY precise angles needed for the Kamagi and the Omote-nojimi surfaces. You could even cut the Osae-mizo groove and drill for the Osae-bō in the sides before aligning them with the center portion and gluing it all together. Use of contrasting colors with similar hardnesses and expansion rates would make it also very visually unique and interesting.

Love this stuff. Amazing to see guys that are so good at what they do. Keep up the vids 👍🏼

Thank you so much for your comment!

Precious information and what an absolute Renaissance man. Plumbing? But a champion plane maker who knows his maths? Remember when we Westerners had men like this? Been a long time.

This is awesome, and instructive, especially on chisels that I need to fill in gaps in my "collection" (selection?) - the heavy bladed thinner one meant more for really hammering a lot is one I'll look into at Sagami Daiku Dougu Kan at next chance (~2 months?). Thank you!

Well worth watching... Switzerland and Japan, where you find this kind of precision.

Wow

この人、すごい！

At the end, is this a Hidari Ichihiro chisel set?

Yes, it is a full set of Ichihiro Ooire Nomi. Its an impressive collection.

Perfect craftsmanship. I wonder how much the full set in the box would be.

I have seen a set of this size before being sold for over $10,000 USD. I believe it may be higher with today's inflation.

Nice shaving at the end! Out of curiosity, what he's doing with that gorgeous set of chisels? Did he brought it to show you?

He used some of the Ichihiro chisels when he was working on the Kanna dai. I may not have shown it in the video. The ones he used were small blades: 3mm and 1.5mm.

Thank you for bring this awesome experience to us. That tool caddy is magnificent!!! and beautiful.

Ea admiro trabalho do japonês

👍

I have a chisel whose back hollow grind has reached the blade. Is it possible to tap the chisel as he does the plane blade to move it forward and allow me to continue sharpening and using the chisel? Don't want to write it off :¬(

@thecarpentrylife

2 ай бұрын

Yes, you can. Just be careful not to crack the blade. Light taps with a hammer should slowly bend the cutting edge enough.

@@thecarpentrylife OK, that's great - thanks for the reply. I'll leave it till the next sharpening, and have a go. Now just have to find an anvil! BTW thanks for all the videos - very enjoyable, even if occasionally frustrating...

He should wrap the shavings around a roll of TP on next job and leave it as a joke. Might even be an improvement.
