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

An Essential Pocket Knife : The Stockman

You're so right. I should be writing about Whittlers instead of Stockman knives. Afterall, this is a wood working blog. But do you whittle the whole day? Perhaps. Can you peel an apple with a whittler? Maybe, but not as well. What if you forgot the butter knife at a picnic, or you somehow need to spey or neuter an animal in an instant?.. (ok, I'm pulling your leg, but I'm referring to the ubiquitous spey blade in your stockman.) A stockman knife (Also called your Gandpa's EDC) will do all of the above with ease, and it will WHITTLE. My shallow pocket and minute brain says that Whittlers are for collectors. Try buying a Stag handled split-backsping whittler. They are not cheap. This is one of the forty stockmen I've purchased online. The other 39 are on their way. And yes, I have issues. The stockman bug maybe. Wait till my wife sees them: I like to imagine myself as a craftsman first, woodworker second. Now you see why I bought this brand. Looks so

A Case for Chisels: Stanley 5000 series

“Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.” -John Ruskin. Substitute the word "books" with "blogs", and perhaps you should stop reading. I did my part and you are warned. No, I can't refund 4 minutes of your life. F or the most part of my woodworking life, I've kept my loose chisels in felt lined drawers. (I mean excess chisels purchased on impulse: Those of cast steel, those of boxwood, those octagonal London snobs, those ergo grips that promises an orgasm with each mortise, the socketed, the tanged, the handle-less tangs, the long paring ones, those curious crank-necks, the basic pig stickers, the vintage ferrule-less-...you know. I know. Some folks have too many hammers or smoothing planes or trammels. I'm a chisel guy. But the ones that are constantly on the move live in a canvas tool roll. I like the look of a chisel roll, except that the edges tend to slice the
