Well, first off let me say that yours are some of the most entertaining videos on wood working. Your humor (small encouragement device) is wonderful. Second, because of your Wari Kebiki video, I made one. I ordered a blade from Hida and they sent me the wrong one. They sent me a really long blade. I called and told them I would send it back but I could just cut it and get 4 blades out of the one. The gentleman said he appreciated the call but I should just keep it. I changed the key mechanism to a screw and added a brass inlay so the wood doesn't get damaged. This is just a test. I jacked the hole for the beam. We don't learn anything without jacking something, right. I will probably make one like yours with the key when I practice mortising a hole. Thanks for your great videos. I am considering buying the Odate book.
1st: if you screw in hardwood put a little bit wax or butter on the thread ... it makes it easier and the screw doesn't break ... 2nd: if you start working with this plane don't start at the end of the board ... start 25 cm in front of you and than work back piece by piece to the end .... if you do so you don't need so much power to get a clean cut in the wood ... good Job ... it's fun to see you videos ... 👍🏽
I recently bought one of these and it works quite nicely but the width of the blade (9mm) gives me headache when thinking of the time when I will have to do uradashi (first timer). Do you think it is doable? And how can I do that to the 2 guiding blades? I am very curious as how Japanese woodworkers perform uradashi on their marking knives and such delicate blades.
In all honestly they really only do that on wider edge tools. Narrow stuff just gets ground down to the point where it's sharp again. I've talked with dozens of them and they never do it on anything narrow like 9mm wide
The reason why you had trouble opening the plane is because the plane is made of oak, and the oak reacts when coming in contact steel and corrodes so if using oak use brass.

Thanks for the kind words Bruce. You are absolutely right, the best teachers are the mistakes that we make, hope that wari-kebiki works out for you!
sexy little toy. Great to find an old tool like that and bring it back to life.
Wood By Wright indeed it is! Gotta enjoy the little things in life
Definitely enjoyed the side comments along with the restoration work!
VDPJ Thanks sir!
You could use steel screws to establish the holes then use brass to finish

Thanks for the tips Joe! This was my first plow plane so thanks for the advice on using it. Always learning something new.
Pilot with a stainless steel screw same size as the brass and wax them.
nice plane. i might make one like that for my edges. not sure if i make a video about it. great tool you have!
Thanks Jorgen!
You should definitely make a video about it, I'd be interested to see it
Really cool restoration, ive never seen anything like that before !
Thanks sir!

Where did you get a hold of this?
Ebay
Adjustable chamfer plane (jiyuu kaku mentori kanna) please .
We'll see.... Maybe in the future
It's a great plane to have. Pricy, but worth it.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing. I've been wanting to get one of those. Gonna have to troll eBay now :)
AdventuresInDIY Go for it! You should do a video on it when you get one. I'd like to see how you use it

Pretty cool!!!
Rusty nuts are always bad!
Lol!
Samuel Roberts indeed!
Square pegs do well in round holes, vice versa not so much.
Ok thank you.
wedges and blade are also machines.
If I was talented, I would replace the whole wooden body. Since I'm the opposite of talented, I'll just watch you do your stuff.
Nice !!!!
Brass screws can be so annoying
Not very different from traditional western wooden plow planes.
AndroidGameplays4Every1 an astute observation sir
This is only devastation historic plane.
