good interview. i don't use any japanese hand-tools (yet) but have been watching the Kanna videos here. interestingly, the owner of Suzuki tools is a neighbor of a friend in Berkeley, CA. I have met her a few times off San Pablo Ave...I have made 5-6 wooden handplanes and use my wooden shooter for veneer work. Visiting Japan is on my list as well in next few years..thx for sharing the video
I have to agree with Andrew on hand grinding and polishing! It is a very pleasurable activity!. When you sharpen by hand and, and if you listen, feel and observe what's happening as you sharpen, it's amazing how it communicates back to you! This is unlike using power grinders and polishing wheels, which it's hard to feel the feel back! I'm so impressed with the (Japanese hand tools) over the Western planes' value for the money it's hard to believe. But there are many newauance that must be learned to make this happen, but it's not hard to learn. Just your willingness to learn. Columbus Michigan
Your title can't be any more true! Andrew does not like to answer DM messages Instagram either. He is a one way individual. Seems like he does not want to interface with anybody less than $ to be made for he can promote himself.
Dawg, calm down and get over yourself. You're acting like an entitled, passive-aggressive baby. Not getting your way isn't a justification for making false accusations against someone. You clearly didn't pay attention to the interview either. Next time, before you start throwing a temper tantrum on the Internet, take the time to actually watch the interview and think about how reasonable your expectations are. Also, assuming Andrew even saw your message, I don't blame him at all if he chose to ignore it. He's under absolutely no obligation to share anything with some random entitled ahole that expects him to bend over backwards for absolutely no recompense.
Fantastic interview! Really appreciate both Mr. Hunter, and the Austin School to have taken the time.

But then again here is giving of himself freely
