    This video is dedicated to my fiancée Saki who has always supported my woodworking, and even gifted me two of the planes in this video! Would like to work on more woodworking youtube videos, if you're interested in this kind of stuff let me know below, I have a lot to share on Japanese woodworking. I recently moved into a flat for a new work opportunity so I've had very little time for wood working, but i've still managed to make it work here :)
  • Josh, would love to see more videos on Japanese hand planes and Japanese woodworking in general.

    The planing and shooting boards are a must. Great little beginner projects that will pay dividends in the quality of the work.

    Yes, most Sepele doesn't plane well. I use a Hong Kong style 62° angle smoother marketed by Mujingfang. It takes type 2 shavings with no tear out and the iron can be reversed to create a scraping plane for a mirror finish in nasty grain and rock hard tropicals.

    Watching all these Japanese plane videos makes my metal planes get gradually better.Some bits apply with both designs .

    I was already looking for the translation button, but it took me long enough to realize it was all a bluff :D

    Josh, thanks for the explanation!! I was wondering which plane to get and what they are used for. Is one more versatile than the other? I have a small budget and I am beginner.
  • Great video! Did you put the camber on the Hira/Herashi-Kanna or did it come cambered? Were you able to accomplish using water stones or did you need to use an electric bench grinder? Thanks Josh these are great videos!
  • @davidclark9086
    Would it be possible to provide the dimensions of each plane including the blades? Thanks
  • Hey, what about an end grain? What is your thoughts on squaring and planing them?

    I've been googling for a japanese try plane. hard to find, only see block and smooth. can you send me a link to a reasonably priced try plane?
  • @jonrost5574
    Did you modify a smoothing plane to make the scrub plane or did you buy it as scrub plane? I have been searching for a place to buy a Japanese scrub plane and have had no luck at all in finding one.
  • A video on the workbench would be great! There’s no videos of how a Japanese workbench is made
  • @ohwii
    Would you please tell me what the dimensions are of the planes. length and blade witdh
  • Hi Josh: could you please post links to where we can buy these planes in Europe and N. America
