Really enjoyed this. I built my first timber frame (western style) last year using japanese chisels. Learned about the spear plane here; never heard about that before. I buy most of my kit on Yahoo Auctions, and just saw some spear planes... big range in prices! Very interesting content. Thanks for creating and sharing.
Hey man, I really love your content. I've been slowing acquiring tools and taking woodworking classes here in the Seattle area. I am really only interested in the traditional Japanese style of carpentry, and would absolutely love to do what you're doing. Would you mind sharing your experience with securing an apprenticeship in Japan? Most of the guys here in the States with knowledge of this style don't really take on apprentices. I don't really know where to start. How does one know what to look for in a company? What is your Japanese speaking ability? How you able to survive without being paid? I have many more questions, and would love to chat with you a bit more in depth. Thanks so much for taking the time to put these together to share your journey with others.
I assure you a shoe is not stopping that axe. And anything that might removes the ability to balance on the logs, it actually looks worse than it is, baca use the ax falls to the side of the log.
@@Neverstopbuilding That is what I thought. Green wood= would at a soft stage though can you finnish plane green wood to those micron shavings? I don` t think so!

Great video!! How was the design made on the column on the right at 6:34 th-cam.com/video/7dr0bSCjcu4/w-d-xo.html ? The adz looks like it leaves a smooth entrance and abrupt stop where as the post on the right has smooth entrance and exit like a gouge. Is it a big flat gouge?
My second question is: Is it possible to achieve a very true and flat surface with the yari kanna instead of textured one if one was willing and perhaps using it with a rule?
True and flat, yes, but basics it’s the average of the surface texture. I think those who are very skilled can get a very smooth surface, but the way the blade contacts the surface, it will make a curved scallop
@@Neverstopbuilding I` m aware that this plane was rediscovered just about for the opposite reason of what I asked for, that is to bring about those unique ancient textures. The main aim of my question is actually to follow the path of how a wood block plane was first made obviously without another woodblock plane. It` s known that you can scrape iron to extremely fine tolerances with a hard scraper chisel so I wondered about wood. Could one actually arrive to making a wood block plane with the yari-kanna since it is said t be an ancestor of kanna planes. How would this compare in precision to using a western drawknife? Great thanks for you answers, it` s been very helpful and I` am really impressed by your journey to japan. Who wouldn` t dream of such a tour, their craft is so virtuosic ang organic at the same time which attracts me a great deal.
This is amazing content. Deserves more views

Y tengo mucha admiración por esos cepillos japoneses
Any chance there’s some steel in those Jika tabi? Didn’t think so. God bless the Japanese.
Why having exposed toes inches away from a swing axe?
I assure you a shoe is not stopping that axe. And anything that might removes the ability to balance on the logs, it actually looks worse than it is, baca use the ax falls to the side of the log.
they're just built different
Very nice video. I greatly enjoyed how all the steps of the process were explained. My main question is: was this all done on green or dry wood?
Typically green wood, makes it much easier
