Patching a plane's mouth. How a Japanese may shut an English up.

We always see westerners fussing with Japanese Planes on youtube.

What if.....a temple builder in Kyoto found a Marples plane in the woods?

Hmm...

A plane this. Maybe English . Now I will show how I shut plane ire guchi (mouth). But of course, this is for anti-tear out reasons.

But before I will show, I show you...the Brand. Marples!Ahh...Sheffield. So, I know English.

Reminated steel and iron!. Just like Nihon Kanna..look..nice..but now, it cut nice, not. Maybe after I shut Guchi mouth.

I have some Rosewood moulding from garbage can of neighbour. I cannot ask permission. Much embarrassment I think. Suitable. I think, for shutting the kanna mouth. so..

Now I mark shape of Rosewood on bottom plane. Remember, for reason of anti-thick lines, please use mechanical pencil only. Much better,I consider kiridashi kogatana. You think?

Now..you can see the shape. Much much bettar.

Now you dig hole. Not deep but shallow. Of course, I dig hole with Nomi chisel. I am not ladies man for many many years! American carpenter who visit mountain here will not find much woman ..Be serious!

Slowly and carefully I dig hole. Now it's possible to inray the rosewood!

Much success, but of course, much gaps happens! Sometimes shit happens, the American carpenter blog say always. So I quote.

Thank you very much!!

SHARPENING WITH ARKANSAS STONES

What on earth are they? A user made box of assorted Arkansas stones. They are America's answer to: The Wales' Welsh Slate (Dragon's Tongue); The Scotch Tam O'Shanter; The English Charnley Forest stone; The Japanese Tenin Toishi; The German Thuringian Hone; The Chinese Guangzhou River bedrock; The Belgian Coticule; You get the idea. Local rocks that you use to sharpen mama's kitchen knives. A collection of smaller pocket-sized Arkansas stones In this entry, I will not try to tell you what you probably already know. What is the point of describing that oily rock you already have under your bench, in your drawer, in a can of kerosene? Note also, that the sharpening I describe here is best applied to woodworking in general. I am an amateur handtool woodworker. Sharpening a straight razor would be entirely another branch of science. I do not profess to know all there is to know about sharpening or Arkansas stones; I simply failed ...

The prolific & seemingly mundane Stanley 110 block plane..

R eally? Well, it's everywhere, check Granpa or uncle Tim's shack ( if you include copies of it by lesser tool makers) For something so abundant (well, Stanley sold them by truckloads), so common and so relatively inexpensive, I will attempt to wax some lyrical on them. By "them" I mean their design, their construction. The plane pictured above was purchased off ebay for $4.90. It looked like Joe Meatball (to borrow Patrick Leach's character) bought it, used it on some hardwood (pre silicon valley micro chipping at the edge)without first fettling the plane(unsharpened factory bevel), and put it away (in some dry place), and totally forgot about it. First off, at Five Bucks, how can you go wrong? Five bucks don't buy you a door wedge these days. STANLEY'S SUPERIOR ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT DOOR WEDGE, TYPE 16. 1) The lever cap also serves as an ergonomic palm-rest to push the plane forward, and the oval shaped cut-out serves as a hanging h...

10 Things I learnt about Arkansas Stones

10 things I learned about Arkansas stones Stones should be kept in their own box, or in a segregated box. This keeps out saw dust, and protects from stones knocking on each other, causing chips. 1) Not for sharpening tools: Not a typing error too. I'm sure everyone has a dull knife or two in the kitchen. The type that will not cut meat or slice bread. You may be able to push-cut an apple, but that's all it'll do. Or that vintage ebay Marples chisel or that plane iron off a vintage Bailey. The edges on these tools will need to be dressed (chips ground-out, skew-edge squared, rolled-edge removed) and re-profiled (irregular and multiple bevel angles corrected) on a bench grinder or a coarse diamond plate, carborundum stones etc. All the above before it even touches an Arkansas stone. I have never met an Arkansas stone that can remove chips or correct bevel in less than 2 hours. Use Arkansas stones for honing and polishing. Old timers call it ...
